Boost for Minnesota, June
| and 2 at Duluth

Bemidji, Crookston, Brainerd
and now Duluth. June 1 and 2
are the dates, and Northern Min
nesota is the slogan, with the Dew
elopment association as the agency.
No citizen can do more for this
magnificent section of his state
than to come and bring his enthus-
iasm.
Duluth will be ready; its enthus-
iasm will be uncorked and the
streets flooded with it; it will have
the means of tlncorking that of its
guests, even if it is necessary to
break the bottle. Nor need any
one fear Laundering in the food,
the drainage is good.
1t is questionable if even those
who have done the most to promote
this association realize all it has
done for Northern Minnesota. The
legislation secured at this last ses-
sion would be enough, but that is
merely the incident, though it was
the main objective and incentive of
the organization.
But beyond this, it has attracted
the attention of the entire country
to this section. Northern 0Minne-
sofa have been more talked of,
better advertised, since Bemidji,
than in all the preceding fifty
years.
Every one is ready to help those
who are helping themselves; every
one is quick to court those who are
organized to work together for
their common good; every one re-

STATE MINES
State Expects Royalty on
1900, 900 Tons This Year

Facts and figures pertaining to
Minnesota mines and their pro-
ducts have been compiled by J. P.
Funk, of the mineral department,
state auditors office. In bulletin
issued he gives these estimates:
1. 1t is question whether on
the whole the Lake Superior dis
trict will ship as much ore this sea-
son as in 1910, the record year
43, 440, 900 tons-of which Mime
sofa shipped about 60 per cent or
approximately 80, 100000
2. Of the more than 125 mines
opened and operated on the Mesaba
range, twenty are state mines. OF
these twenty, several were opened
during the past year, namely the
Scranton, Morton, Woodbridge,
Cavour, Helmer, Cavacona and
Fay.
3. The Scranton is a promising
mine containing an admitted tom
mage of 10, 100000 tons, although
the whole tract-12O acres-has
not yet been thoroughly explored
and still greater tonnage is ex-
pected. The mine belongs to the
swamp land fund.
4. The first shipments of ore
were made from the Guyana range
this month and Minnesota can
boast of three shipping iron ranges
the Vermilion, Mesaba and
Guyana. 1t is possible that one OIL
the states mines on the Cuyunf
will enter the shipping list thi:
season.
S. There was shipped in 1910
from the states own mines 1 100,
600 tons of ore, from which thu
school, university, and swami
lands funds were respectively en-
riched by $275,OOO, that is,
royalty of rs cents per ton accrue
to the state on the output. Asid
| from this the state receives annual
as minimum royalty payments AM
in annual rentals on undeve1ope
mines about 500, 900. There ar
at present-in force-232 stat
mineral leases, of which, as stated
only twenty have been develope'
to shipping mines.
E. One state mine-the Gran
so the states mining inspector
have informed the state auditor
intends to ship out this seaso
100000 tons-this mine is nea
Buh1. Another, the Pool, it
expected, will be not far behind i
shipments. 1t is within the pos
sibilit!es that that the state wi
receive royalty on an output G
100000 tons this season, nettin
revenue of $4,000, 900 all of whic
will go to enrich the permaner
school and other funds of our com
monwealth.

Wage increase Asked.
Brick manufacturers and brick

Demand OF Bakers.
An eight hour day in the shops
where scaling and molding machines
have been introduced is the principal
demand of the bakers. Only in the
eight large shops have the machines
been installed, and as one machine
does as much work as five men, the
bakers say the only way they can pro
tect themselves Is TO reduce the num-
Der of working hours. The eight
firms say they have hired enough non
union men to fill the shops.
Machinery movers will hold a meet
ing tomorrow morning and decide en-
whether thew shall o,iit work Monda y
