LET US REASON TOGETHER
AGAIN.
There Are Some Things Which We
Can Understand and There Are
Some Things That We Cannot Un-
derstand.


Clinton News-Dispatch.1
The Republican party stands for
the protection of American laborers.
The Democratic party prefers to pat
ronize foreign labor. With these
facts before them the working peo-
pie voted the Democratic ticket and
said by that act that they also pre-
ferred to see the labors OF Europe
with plenty OF work at six and sew
en- cents per day while they them
selves are entertained at public SOUP
houses and are permitted to tramp
from town to town begging bread.
That's the unterrified.
We can understand how the fell
low In town who has to buy every
thing he eats can vote the Democratic
ticket, because it is to his interest
for the price of farm products to be
cheap, but the fool farmer who didn't
have any more sense than to help the
city man vote down the price OF his
farm products ought to join some So
ciety for the protection OF fools We
are glad. however. there are not
many OF that kind In Sampson.

Railroad 70 Be Extended
To Section 30 At
Once

A writer in the Duluth Herald
has much to say of the Vermilion
as follows:
The Ely region is fourishing
like green bay tree. The steady
producers there are working full
force and work is under way for
reopening the old Chandler mine.
Out at Section 80 everything
looks rosy and is booming along in
fine style. The officials of the
Duluth & Iron Range road confirm
the reportthatan extension will be
built to Section 80, so as to permit
ore shipments this year. George
A. St. Clair freely states that he
will ship 100000 tons of ore from
Section 80 in 1910. The construc-
ton of this extention bears out Mr..
St. Clair's statement. tits further
stated by Mr.. St. Clair that he has
sold SO, 900 tons of Section 80 ore.
This fact was reported some time
ago but, at that time. was not veri-
fed by Mr.. st. Clair. 1t is unofi-
cially stated that this ore has been
sold on a basis of 50 rs a ton for IS
per cent in iron, with an additional

WANT MONEY
Oliver Company Sued by
Several

Three suits for damages will
probably come up for trial at this
term of District Court which con-
venes at Virginia this week. The
three suits aggregate $22, 800 in
damages wanted.
Jack Purket has sued the COM
pany for $40, 900. He alleges that
Waterman named Parnham who
was working for the Oliver COM
pany, picked him up on the road
and beating him with club drove
him more than mile to Ely, where
he was taken to hotel and treated
for the injuries Parnham had in
flicted on him.
His story is that Sept. s, 1909,
he left Ely for Winton where he
was employed by Swallow & Hop
kins as a 1aborer. After he had
walked mile or more from here
he sat down to rest and eat his
lunch in and unfenced field.
Parnham came along, he says,
and told him to get up and go
along. He started towards Win
ton. Parnham told him to go to-
wards Ely. He said he didn't
want to as he had just come from
there and was going to work.
Parnham then began to beat him
with his club necessarily as he
drove him towards Ely, he asserts.
At Ely, Purket says Parnham
left him in a field after beating him
some more when he fell exhausted
and demonstrated at the treatment.
Passersby found him and took him
to hotel where he was sick for
some time because of the treatment
by Parnham.
Purket alleges that Parnham was
acting in the scope of his authority
as watchman, guard or patrolman
for the Oliver company and that
therefor the company is liable for
damages.
In another action Matt Vertuck
wants 81, 500 as damages for in
juries he suffered when working as
a trammer in the Pioneer mine.
He asserts that while he was on
on ore car he was loading to do a
necessary part of the work, an
other train came along and ran into
him, inficting injuries from which
he will never recover.
In the third action H. L. Shep-
herd, administrator, seeks to re-
cover IS 900 for the death of Frank
Luzavetz, whose estate he is ad-
ministering. His allegations are
that Oct. 26 while Luzavetz, a
trammer, was driving along the
18th main level of the Pioneer
mine, several hundred feet below
the surface, an explosion occurred
in such a manner, through the
negligence of the defendant COM
pany, that the top of Luzavetz
head was blown off.

Sc. rs in Cleveland. Ore averaging
81 per cent in metallic iron, with
proper minimusm of other elem
ents, would be worth So SIS per ton.
From this sum would be deducted
railroad and boat freight to Cleve-
land, insurance and commissions,
as we'll as cost of mining and load
ing the ore. Combined rail and
vessel freight last season was 81. so
per ton. Insurance and commits
sions are about 10 cents ton.
With cheap mining, due to slight
depth and broken ore in the mine,
the cost of miuing and loading pos
sibly can be done for 80 cents a ton
certainly within SO cents ton.
So far, no stopping has been done,
all the ore on the dump having
come from work done in sinking,
drifting and cross-cutting. By
May /, from IS 900 to $4,000 tons
should be on the dump from this
development work.
Mr.. St. Clair has a payroll at
Section 80 exceeding $4,000 a
month. 1t has been stated that
800 men will be employed there
before next winter if all goes we'll.
Mr.. St. Clair also has lease
on the eastern half of Section &c.,
100 acres, and conditions compel
him to get work under way. 1t is
reported that, already, he has a
shaft started there which bottoms
in ore. The outlook for ore on
that end of the property is ex-
cellen.
All these statements are facts
that cannot be disputed and will go
long way to convince doubters
that Section 80 has the ore and will
become a valuable mine. The
Duluth & Iron Range officials must
be convinced, otherwise $50, 900
would not be expended in building
an extension to and across the pro-
perty to Garden Lake.
George A. St. Clair has secured
the old Macomber mine and already
started exploration work. This
not only is anothesNictory for Mr..
St. Clair in getting what he goes
after, but transfers thestorm center
of Vermilion range exploration to
the peerless township of 62-14.
The Macomber mine embraces
the northwest quarter of section Is,
62-14. It belongs to the Steward
Mineral company. The controll-
ing interests heldPy Rollin Stewart
of Minneapolis, but William c.
Sherwood has a minority interest.
Twenty years ago or so, a shaft
was sunk on this property by
Charles E. Shannon and associates
Some wonderfully high grade ore
was found and mined, but the ore
body was lost and never has been
found since. It is believed that q
deeper shaft, with intelligent cross
cutting will stand an excellent
show to find the missing ore.
Mr.. St. Clair has shown himself
master hand in exploration work
and his many friends and admirers
fully expect him to duplicate at the
Macomber mine his several brilliant
successes on the Mesaba, Eastern
Mesaba and the Eastern Vermilior
at Section 80.
For many weeks there has beer
a hard hustle under way to secure
this property. Mr.. Stewart al
though a very, very old man is
master in the art of trading. 'Thi
deal, in fact, has had all the fea
lures of a spirited horse race
Much of the time, the seekers TO
the option have raced along, necl
and neck, with Mr.. Stewart up il
the grand stand playing the role o
judge.
