John Pluth, an East End Saloon Man Perhaps
Fatally Stabbed
Tom Marincell, a Montenegrin is the Guilty
Party

tempting to put the fellow out
He struck Marincell over the head
with the revolver the weapon being
discharged by the blow. The bull
let lodged in the ceiling. Pluth
then fell to the floor bleeding pro-
fusely from a deep cut directly
over the heart and from the nose
and mouth.
Marincell then rushed from the
place attempted to escape but be-
ing without a hat and bleeding
from a cut in the hand sustained
/ when he was knocked down with
the open knife in his hand, was
easily recognized by Chief of Police
Seraphine who had been telephon-
ed as to the direction the fellow
was running. The chief gave
chase and captured his man in
short order.
Marincell was lodged in Jail and
at a hearing Tuesday before Judge
Jury waived examination and was
bound over to the grand jury on
the charge of assault in the first
degree. Witnesses examined gave
an account of the affair as above
stated. The prisoner is a young
man, about rs years of age and
small in stature. He has not been
in this vicinity very long and
claims he cannot speak English.
The knife with which the cutting
was done is rather a cheap
affair but ground to a fine edge
and point. 1t required consider
able searching to find the knife but
it was later discovered in the Gus
pidor in the saloon by n of the
searchers.
Pluth is in a precarious condit-
ion and so far the attending physi-
clans cannot definitely give infor-
nation as to the probable outcome
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-03-03

of his injuries although the chances
are strongly in favor of recovery.
The knife entered just over the
heart and the large amount of blood
indicated that an artery had been
severed.
Marincell was only slightly cut
in the hand where his clasp knife
had closed up on him in a fall, and
was not shot in the ribs as rumor
and the accounts in the outside
papers had it.

TO BUILD FURNACE
John I. Jones Will Erect
One on This Range.

A Jones step process furnace will
be constructed on the Vermilion
range near Tower, if negotiations
now in progress are satisfactorily
eliminated, said John T. Jones of
Iron Mountain, Mich, who was in
Duluth Tuesday comforting with
mining men.
The Duluth Herald says: The
Jones furnace will revolutionize
the iron mining business. 1t can
handle ore with as low content as
81 per cent and sometimes slightly
lower, depending upon the char
acter of the ore. For instance ore
of igneous formation containing
~mineralized strata can be handled
more advantageouslv than ore OF
brecciated character or of aqueous
origin. Most ores on the Vermilion
range are classed variously under
the first category and ores on the
| Mesaba range are catalogued under
the last.
There are millions of tons of
low-grade iron ores in the United
| States which had no commercial
value until the invention of the
Jones furnace, on which $3.50, 00O
was expended before it became a
scientific success. There are pro-
badly four tons of 1ow-grade ore
to one ton now available under
present methods of converting the
ore into metal. By the Jones
method about 500 tons are trans
formed into approximately 254
tons of metal daily.
ION the Vermilion range there
thousands of tons of low-grade ores
containg iron ia all kinds of assoc
iation with various rocks. There
are many outcroppings on the Yer
million which seem to disclose veins
of ore not of Bessemer require
ments but which would become
available if a Jones furnace were
constructed on the Vermilion. The
cost Of aplant such as may be erected
near Tower by Mr.. Jones is $50, 900.
Under present conditions the pos
sibility of making many more pay
ing mines on the Vermilion is re-
stricted by numerous difficulties,
but with a Jones furnace in that
region the development of mines
would be aided by reason of the
nearby smelling facilities and,
above all, the making available of
an immense tonnage not now of
commercial value.

During an alteration in the John
Pluth saloon in the east end OF
town Monday afternoon, John
Pluth the proprietor of the place
was perhaps fatally stabbed by Tom
Marincell a young Montenegro.
Pluth is in lowering between life
and death while his assailant is in
the county Jail III Duluth where he
will await the action of the grand
jury.
AS the grand jury is now in ses-
sion, his case will probably be
reached before many days. How
ever. there is a possibility of the
case being laid over for a time
pending the outcome of the injury
to Pluth as from all indications the
charge will need be changed from
assault in the first degree to muir
der.
Marincell and several others were
in the Pluth saloon, all under the
influence of liquor. Marincell be-
came boisterous and when request
ed to desist became abusive. He
attempted to pick ROY with the
maid of the house, SO it is said, but
Matt Pluth a son of John stepped
in and transferred the wrath of
M~arincell to himself. Witnesses
testify that all this time Marincell
was nursing an open knife and that
at no time did he make any secret
of its presence.
The elder Pluth ordered the man
from the place but Marincell not
only refused to go but attempted to
cut the younger Pluth. John
Pluth grappled with Marincell and
attempted to evict him and in the
scufle was stabbed. John went to
a drawer where he kept a revolver,
securing the same and again at

How to Do It..

Custom demands that a note
should begin with the formula:
My dear Mrs. Gray, or, Dear Mrs.
Gray, and close with Yours sim
cerely. A business note to a
stranger begins, Mrs. John Ward,
! Dear Madam, and closes with
Yours very truly.
/ Some persons write notes fairly
well, but make the fatal mistake of
signing incorrectly. A signature
should never have a prefix. A
married women should sign her
name, Mary Caroline Brown, not
Mrs. Henry Brown. If writing a
business note to a stranger one may
place beneath the signature, in
brackets, toward the left address,
Mrs. Henry Brown. This is not
allowable in social note, as ac-
quaintances are supposed to know
the identity of the writer.
Ar address is written plainly and
in full on an envelope. A stamp
is placed straight in the upper
right-hand corner. Names of
cities and states are not abbreviat-
ed. 1t is correct to write: Balti-
more, Maryland; Cincinnati, Ohio;
Denver, Colorado; Chicago, Illinois.
On local notes the street address
is sufficient, the name of the town
and state being omitted although
this is not a fixed rule.-The

GOtch-LehtO Match.

An athletic event of much in

of the state will be the Gotch-Lehto
wrestling match in Duluth next
week. Gotch is the worlds

is the first time in the history OF
this season that Gotch has con-
sented to meet a companion
wrestler in any but the biggest
cities. 1t is an event of interest to
the fans and many from here will
probably attend. Lehto has many
friends in Ely who expect much

Today.


On his deathbed' Jules Verne lamented
that with all his popularity he had added
nothing to the worlds literature. 1t ought
to have been some compensation that he
had greatly enhanced its interest in science
although all his writings concerned what
was then psuedo- science But most of the
authors fancies have now become prosaic
facts, and his memory has been eclipsed
by the accomplishments of daring pioneers
Submarines now sail the seas. Dirigable
balloons and aeroplanes make his imagi-
merry feats seem tame, while the exploit OF
Phileas Fogg has been cut in half.
On Sunday, Partisan journalist arrived
home after girdling the earth in few
hours less than forty days. 1t is true that
he did not follow the route Of the putatiVe
Phileas Fogg, and was short, OF the lat
ter's record in mileage. Neither did he
bring home a wife. But in all other re-
spects the feat was notable, and 1t now
appears that 1t could be expected II one
could make all the connections Wneh
Puck announced that he could put a girole
around the earth in forty minutes he had
no notion that some human being could do
the trick in forty days or by electricity In
10 seconds. The incident serves to show
how small the earth 10 getting-relauvely-
and what close neighbors all human beings
are becoming.
A trip around the world in record time
is not particularly delightful entertain
ment It gives no time for one to absorb
atmosphere or get a fine perspective
Mr. Jager-Schmidt has seen the world at
the rate Of $50 miles a day, and good
deal of it he did not see at all, for he slept
over a good portion Of the route. Yet the
feat stirs imagination, and there are few
who would rot like a similar experience.
One hundred years ago most people grew
UP and died within a few miles OF their
birthplace. When Napoleon was planning
his Moscow campaign, at that very mo-
and not the Russians. He beat the Mus
covites, but in turn was ruined by Generals
January and February. Had he lived in
this age the result might have been diff
ferent.
Living men have seen inventions develop
which have shrunk the earth to the size
Of former county. Distance has been con-
quered, but it is probable that posterity
will look upon the aeroplane as something
crude. A journey TO the moon may not
seem so wild an idea as IT was in the fer

NO ROMANCE IN GOLD MINING
Individual Effort overshadowed by
Mining Companies in Alaskan
Diggtngs.

There lie no longer any romance in gold
mining. While 1t is possible for a poor
man to go to Alaska and make a fortune
If he happens TO strike 1t rich still, the
successful mining is being done by COM
panies. for the reason that it requires a
large amount Of capital to work the claims
in such manner that the profits are not
eaten up by the operating expenses" said
c. c. Webster, just back in New York
from the Alaska gold fields.
Gold mining in Alaska is on a business
basis. The era of hydraulic mining has
arrived and it has practically supplanted
the old method of working the dirt by hand
This has necessitated the building OF costly
bitches, but 1t has also opened up new
fields, for dirt which Yields only p or Is
cents a cubic yard can be worked profit
ably. while under the old method it meant
failure to handle dirt which yielded less
than So or 81 a yard.
Then, again, the country along the
coast is being settled. The towns in the
gold fields are almost as modern and we'll
equipped as the smaller cities in the east
ern states. There is no more outlawry or
disorder. Life is as safe in the Alaskan
gold fields as it is in New York Even
gambling has been stopped, Scarcely any
thing remains to make the life picturesque
and exciting as it was during the rush to
the Klondike in 1899, The country is be-
coming civilized, and there is nothing like

The Nome country is the greatest pro-
Queer of gold in the world, and the most
successful mining operations in the world
are being carried on there. The gold-laden
sands of it's beach and its creeks and

the part Of Premier Cailaux and Foreign

Germany asks, It appears, that every
claim of German subjects to concessions in
Morocco shall be recognized by France.
and that no new enterprise shall be started
under the French protectorate without be-
ing internationalized equally.
The claims Of German subjects particu-
larly those by Mannesmann Bros, and
speculative companies organized by them,
are enormous
The German terms also ask a free hand
in Morocco with conditions that would. ac-
cording to the French view. deprive France
Of all her advantages and would give
Germany privileges in Morocco beyond
those Of any power, even France.
There seems no likelihood OF the French
government accepting the German counter
proposals.
may be that some other signatory Of the
national conference.
Although the tone of the Paris
bourse was heavy today, the solid
structure Of French finance was little af-
fected by financial embarrassments in
Germany for the reason that the French
buy securities for permanent investment
and do not sell them because of fluctua-
ton in quotations
The worst effect of the Moroccan un-
certainties is on business which simply
waits day to day to see what will happen.
French houses have cancelled many buy
ing orders in Germany and the French
banks as previously indicated refuse to
renew the German loans falling due.
Credit likewise is cut off from Berlin in
