The VermiliOn

A writer in the Duluth Herald
says the following regarding some
of the prospects of the Vermilion.
Despite knockers, doubters and
pessinists that operators encounter
around Ely, that part of the Yer
million range is very active. Sec
ton 80 is out of the woods, and
already has contracted the delivery
of 225,O0O tons of ore for 1911.
That quantity can be greatly in
creased if market conditions war
rant. There are ESQ men engaged
in exploration work. Sixty-6ve
families now reside on the location
Fully 500 tons day of high grade
ore are being hoisted and stored in
the stock pile. 1t is limited that
some startling information may
come from Section 80 mine before
spring.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-01-13

Capt. Kent is making fine
progress at the old Chandler at Ely.
About 10000 tons of high grade
ore are on the stock pile now, and
every working day sees ten tons
raised for every miner employed.
About twenty-five men are being
worked in all branches of employ
ment on the Chandler. Although
it is problematical as to how much
ore this abandoned mine will yield
under the new ownership, those
back of operations will make pot
of easy money. The expense of
resuming work was comparatively
slight, and profits were being made
not many weeks after Capt. Kent
got down to serious operations.
The old Chandler will probably
join Section 80 as a shipper in 1911

Report of Sale of Red Cross
Stamps in Ely.

Six thousand two hundred Red
Cross Christmas Seals were sold in
Ely during the recent sale. This
amounted to 5000 Sixty Dollars
of this sum was RENTED to the
Minnesota Association for the Pre-
vention and Relief of tuberculosis,
Old Capital, St. Paul, Mimi, of
which Christopher Easton is the
Executive Secretary and Red Cross
Seal Agent and H. w. Parker the
Treasurer.
The expense of this sale was
$500.
Much credit and appreciation is
due Mr.. John Seraphine for his
excellent work in promoting and
doing a great deal of the actual
work connected with this sale.
Ray Coffey did some very good
work and ably assisted and is
entitled to praise
The seals were on sale at the
following places all of whom very
gladly and cheerfully aided in the
sale, R. S. Miller A. S. james,
|
Berglund Bros, Ely Finnish Stock
Co., Ely Mercantile Co. Math
Kapsch, Sartori Bros, and Herman
Kandelin. Mr.. Schaefer also put
them on sale at the post Office.
Section Thirty took 500, and
Winton several hundred.
The Ely Miner very kindly
donated space to advertise the sale
and published articles on the Red
Cross Seal, and the ElCo Theatre
assisted by showing Red Cross
sterioptican slide.
This was the first sale of Red
Cross Seals in the City of Ely, and
was much larger than was expected
and makes a very good showing.
Everybody seemed anxious and
glad to buy the Seals which shows
that a sentiment prevails here
which is progressive and up to date,
and that the people arc ready here
as they are anywhere to assist III
the great and world wide fight
against tuberculosis.

PROTECT SETTLERS
New Rules of Land Office
Blow to Speculative
Contests.

A change in the rules of practice
of the United Statesland office will
shut out speculative land contests
after Feb. L. The revised rules OF
the department have been received
at the land Office and the rule
governing contests is one of the
most radical innovations.
In the future, it will be necessary
for any person bringing contest,
to show that he is qualified to enter
upon the land in question in the
event of winning the suit. In
other words, the department will
require that contests be brought in
the future by people desiring to
settle on the land. In the past,
many contests have been brought
by people who expected to profit
by winning the contests and then
having a price for waving the
right of entry to let somebody else
take up the land. Such proceed
ing will be impossible in the future,
or will be possible only once, at
least, for each person involved.
The new rule is in line with the
policy of the department to protect
actual settlers against the activities
of people seeking to profit only in
financial way from contests.
Another rule established by the
department in the revised list
seems to pave the way toward the
proposed court of appeals in public
land cases. In the future, reviews
and re-reviews, which have been
means of delay and arrangements
for prolonging litigation, will not
be possible. No review will be
allowed in any case.
The new rules contain number
of other radical departures from the
old rules, but they are technical in
their nature.

Effort to Make Change.

An effort will be again be made
to have the passenger and mail
train get into Ely at an earlier hour
in the evening. Railroad officials
admit that the train could leave
Duluth nearly an half early and
also admite that nearly half hour
could be taken from the running
time between here and Duluth. 1t
has been figured that the train
could getinto Ely easy by O'Clock.
A change of this kind would prove
of inca1culable benefit to the town
and its people for a dozen or more
reasons.

BASKET BALL
Interclass Series Proves In

In spit of the cold weather, fine
crowds witnessed the first two
evenings of the series which were
played on Monday and Wednesday
of this week, at the Lincoln gym
nasium.
The sch edule opened, on Mon
day night, by the Juniors playing
the Freshmen. Both teams being
confident of victory, played snappy
ball from the first and when the
whistle blew, at the end of the first
half, the score stood to in favor
of the Freshmen. No sooner were
the teams off the floor than the
Seniors and SophomoreS started
the first half of their game.
Another twenty minutes of give
and take, and the first half of the
Seniors and Sophomore game was
over with the Sophomore two
points to the good.
The second half of the Juniors
and Freshmen game proved still
more interesting than the first,
with the Freshmen leading by six

Rebuilding No. 1 Dock

The work Of tearing down No. l
ore dock at Two Harbors began
Monday and the work of rebuild
ing the same with concrete and
steel will move along with a force
of 200 men.
There is AM immense amount of
timber to be gotten out of the old
dock, and it will be some little time
before the work of making the con-
crete foundation can be started.
The total cost of the dock when
complete will tbe in the vicinity of
81 100000. and the length of the
same will be but a few feet less
than quarter of mile.
In construction it will be similar
to the new steel dock built by the
Steel Corporation in the winter of
1908, the cost of construction being
in the vicinity of 81 900, 900.
Over thirteen million pounds of
steel were used in the construction
of this dock, and dock No. l, that
is not being rebuilt, will require
considerably more. With the COM
pletion of the new dock Two
Harbors will be equipped to handle
immense quantities of ore, giving
it two steel docks and four wooden
ones.

half of the game making the score
SO to 20in favor of the Sophomore.
On Wednesday night, the Seniors
and Juniors game opened the game
followed at the end of the first half
by the Sophomore and Freshmen
game. Both these games proved
decidedly interesting and ended
in favor of the Seniors, by score
of % to 10, and by the Sophomore
by score of 81 to II.
The four games, so far have
been characterized by goodly
amounts of friendly rivalry, making
the series interesting.

series when the Seniors play the
Freshmen and the Sophomore
play the Juniors. Admission 1C

Greek Held On

was approached by Gust, who
