s2O,000,000 IN MINING DEAL
CHICAGO LEASES LAND FROM pU
LUTH AND HIBeING MEN.
Royalty to Be Paid on $4,000 Tons oil
Ore Per Year Beginning
In Spring.

Duluth, Oct. 31.-One of the most
important mining deals ever consum
mated on the Guyana Iron range was
concluded when the Inland Steel com
pany of Chicago took q lease of 100
acres of land in 1746-29, about three
miles west of Crosby. The deal in
wolves, roughly speaking, about $40,
100000, for the steel company is tc
pay royalty of so cents ton, and
it is estimated that the ore tonnage
will approximate 100000 tons. The
lease is made from Major Gust. Carl
son and p. S. Nelson of Duluth and
Thomas York of Hibbing. They own
the fee Of the land, which consists Of
1870 acres, and they have shown up
one of the largest and best mines in
the Guyana range.
The entire work Of proving up the
large iron ore tonnage on the 120 acres
described has been done by Major
acquired the 100 acres of land, which
has brought them millions, for $25 an
acre few years ago.
Messrs. Carlson, Nelson and York
are well known citizens at the head
of the Lakes. Mr.. Nelson has been
singularly fortunate in his mining op
erasions, and like Major Carlson was
very wealthy before this new strike
Mr. York is vice president Of tho
Swan River Logging company and also
has extensive interests in mining.
The extent of the ore body on the
12O acres of land which Carlson, Mel
son, and York have leased to the In
land Steel is not yet known. Some
of the drill holes which are several
hundred feet in the ore body, have
not fully penetrated it. The ore that
is included in the estimate of probab
ly 100000 tons ranges from SIS to
GO per cent metallic iron.
Under the terms of the lease 1t is
understood that the minimum on
which the royalty is to be paid is
$4,000 tons per year, beginning next
spring.

MOB ATTACKS EIGHT WELLS.FAR.
GO EXPRESS WAGONS.
New Jersey Troops Are Ordered In
Observation-Disclosures PeIted With
Stones and Bricks.

New FORK, Oct. 29.-The most seri-
Cured when a mob swooped down on
eight wagons leaving the Wells-Fargo
stables in Jersey City. Scores were
injured and many made unconscious
before the police quelled the riot. Six
teen seriously injured strikebreakers
were placed in a wagon and taken to
the Hudson street hospital.
While the state troops of New Jer-
sey have been ordered to be ready to
march into Jersey City, in event the
express strike passes beyond the con.
troll of the police, the first outbreak
corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-sixth
street.
There we're many strikers and their
sympathizers gathered at the corner
when an American Express company's
wagon drove up. The mob surged for
and grabbed the reins. Two policemen
rushed at the mob and succeeded in
driving them back as the express driv.
ers turned their team about and gal
loped the horses back to the stable.
There they abandoned the outfit.
Driver Fiees From Crowd.
Shortly after the first attack another
occurred at the corner of Madison ave-
nue. and Forty-second street. The driv-
er of this team saw the crowd rushing
toward him hurting rocks and bricks as
they came. Without a moments hest.
tation he pulled his horses toward the
sidewalk and fled. The police dispersed
the crowd.
Some Deliveries Checked.
The Adams Express company made
no effort to send out any of it's wagons.
but the American Express company
seemed determined to carry on its
street deliveries and collections regard
less of the bitter attituoe OF the strike
sympathizers.

cred by naval officials as splendid
record for ship which had met with
serious accident aboard just prior

err than the last Zeppelin. The bal
loon proper Ifs 1873 meters long and ita
greatest diameter Is II metres. n fw
cigar shaped having its maximum
thickness i'd the first third OF lta
length and then gently tepeFing be-
hind. This form Is said to offer
minimum resistance to the wind
The wood lie prepared In EmaTl SEQ
tons n from knots a few MILL
meters III thickness. These sections
are glued over one another crosswisN
to form thin, narrow but extremely
strong planks. The whole framework
will be concealed from view by the
outer covering OF the balloon. There
will be eleven inner ballcsets, just aS
in the Zeppelin.
The steering gear will be placed
Immediately below the balloon and
consist OF a rudder governing lateral
movements and two elevating rud-
ders. The two propellers win be d.
rectly connected with the motors II
the car. Each propeller shaft VIII be
driven by two motors. The motors
win be able to develop IN all 600
horsepower The ear is to be so sus
pended that In the air it win be rik-
idly connected TO the framework ~
the balloon, but as soon as It touches
the ground the connections win be-
come slack, thus taking Oh part of the
weight and guarding the body OF TIE
