TAKING CARE OF THEM

Former Representative Howard of
Georgia. who voted with the republi-
cans and was repudiated by his con-
stituency, has been rewarded by Presi-
dent Taft, who has placed him upon
the tariff board. In this case this re-
ward is at the expense of ostracism
by his neighbors and friends.
Most of the representatives who can
not come back have been taken care
of by Mr.. Taft, the offices ranging in
salaries from $4,000 to more than they
have received as congressman. This
seems to defy the people. and Mr.. Taft
may get paid for this.--Orlando Re-
porter-Star.

THE STARS IN THE PERMANENT

How many stars are there in the
universe? About 1000 can be seen on
clear night above the horizon with
the naked eye. Were it not for the
atmospheric conditions we could see
10000. The telescope according to
Highlander of Bonn, has enabled a
catalog to be made of 324,1S9 stars be-
tween the north pole and the second
deg.ee of south latitude, counting only
those down to the magnitude 9.5
Sir John Hirschel estimated that
his 20-foot telescope brought no less
than 100000 stars within the range
of vision. Fifty million stars can be
seen with the Lick Observatory tele-
scope. Others placed the number up
to 1000, O.-Milwaukee Free Press.

WHERE SALT WILL NOT LOSE ITS
FLAVOR

One of the mineral wonders of Utah
is little lake down in Willard county,
$50 miles south of the city and eight
miles west of the town of Cedar Lake,
on the SaltLake Route. 1t embraces
but 200 acres in a depression averag-
ing five feet below the surrounding
country. Last August, when examin-
ed, it was covered with 100000 tons
of good salt. 1t was examined few
days ago and not pound of salt was
in evidence, the 100000 tons hanging
in solution in the foot or two of brine
which now covers the diminutive lake.

So it is with the Scotch, the Irish and
the English. Continuing. Uncle Andy
says that the importations of human
beings are the most valuable of all
our imports. The population of the
whole United States does not exceed
80 per square mile, while Belgium has
600, and England very nearly as many.
1t would pay US, especially here in
Florida, where we have so much va
cant land, to give premium for ev-
cry able-bodied man or woman of
good character that could be induced
to settle amongst us. This paper
agrees with Uncle Andy. If it were
not for the immigrants that landed on
our shores, what position would we
today occupy in the eyes of the ma
lions of the world? We actually
would not be worth picking up in the
streets, for there would be no one
here but the descendants of the Abor-
igines.

in 1895 dropped to $2.1o. Ore
prices varied, going as high as
$3.50 for old range Bessemer in
1000, while the price this year is
$3.50, but though all the price
changes the freight rate remained
the same. A reduction of twenty
to forty cents a ton in ore freight
will mean saving of forty to eighty
cents ton on ton of pig iron, a
not inconsiderable item of cost in
these days of close selling. 1t is
more Immediately important to the
general iron and steel trade today
than the throwing open to COM
petitior of the large holdings of
Great Northern ore. But in the
longer future, the importance of
this entire lease abrogation will
grow.

Should Examine Hunters

When the 1913 session of the
legislature convenes there should
be law passed providing for
hunting commission and it should
be made obligatory that every per-
son who hunts big game pass
rigid examination" said G.. G..
Hartley, of Duluth. A man is
taking big chances going i'll the
woods after big game this year.
He stands just as bad chance as
the deer. There are number of
men, and especially young men,
who go hunting that have never
seen deer. Many of them have
never been in the woods before,
and still larger number do not
know how to handle a gun. This
is something that must be learned
nowadays. In the early times
guns were simple of construction
and any one could handle them,
but in this age of high pressure
automatic rifles, that will carry
three and four miles, with their
patent electors and complicated
mechanism, it is not every one who
knows how to handle them.
My idea of doing away with
this evil would be to have law
passed, appointing a commission
composed of men experienced in
the ways of woodcraft and expert
in the handling of guns. Then, as
is the case now, every person
should be licensed, but before it is
issued, they should be>compelled to
pass an examination concerning
their knowledge of guns, game
animals and woodcraft, and, if they
cannot pass a satisfactory one, Ii
cense should be refused them.
This would lead to reform
and instead of perhaps a dozen
men being mistaken for deer each
year and killed, an accidental kill
ing would be rare. There would
be schools of woodcraft established
and men and boys who wished to
hunt would learn to distinguish
deer or a moose from man or
stump and would learn how to
shoot. Manned deer would not
then crawl away and their skeletons
be found the next spring in some
thicket. Game would be more
plentiful and man would not feel
than he was taking his life in his
hands every time he went out"

IMPORTANT NEWS
Much Importance Attached
to Steel Move

Not in years has more important
iron ore information reached the
general public than the statement
that the United States Steel Cor
poration will shortly serve notice
of the abrogation of its Great Nor
thern ore contract through the
Great Western Mining company,
the formal cancellation taking
effect January 1, 1915, says the
Cleveland Iron Trade Review.
Coupled with this announcement
goes the information that the cor
poration of its own voilition will
reduce the charge for carrying ore
on its railroads from the Mesaba
and Vermilion ranges to, Duluth
and kindred ports at the head of
the lakes, from eighty cents ton
to flat rate of sixty cents. Either
one-of these facts is enough to up
set all calculations and preconceiv-
ed ideas of the status of the new
range ore holdings. Both COM
bined will work almost astrevolu-
ton, vitality involving as they do
the most impartant source of iron
ore on the continent at this time,
and the cost of getting that ore to
the furnace. The most striking
ultimate outcome of the lease can
collation. will be that vast source
of supply for ores of the usual
Mesaba grades will be thrown open
to users other than the Steel cor
poration to whom this vast acreage
hitherto has been closed. The
lease of the Great Western Mining
company, whose performance was
guaranteed by the steel corporation
covered a total of SO, 296 acres, al
though the Great Northern ore
holdings, as whole, aggregated
65,091 acres, only 1876 acres hav-
ing been leased to others prior to
December 7, 1906. 1t is difficult
to learn what proportion of the
Great Northern ore lands, other
than those leased to the Steel cor
poration, has ever been leased to
others, or its equivalent, which
covers the income from that So
called outside source. But it
was reported in 1907 that the in
come from that source would
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-11-24

amount to between three and. four
million dollars. All available in
formation would tend to show that
not a large percentage of ore from
the Great Northern properties has
gone to others than the Steel cor
porations up to this year. Hence,
as said before, there will be opened
to others vast source of supply.
Another point involved is the
amount of ore that the corporation
will remove from the Great North
ern> properties in the meantime.
For, while it is bound to remove a
certain tonnage yearly, which
minimum since 1907 increased
seven hundred and fifty thousand
tons'per annum while the royalty
also increased just 3.4 cents a ton
each year, yet undoubtedly the
corporation will not allow the ex-
cess payment under the lease to
operate as fine for failure of per-
Torrance, but will actually remove
the ore upon which royalty has
been paid. That will mean that
in 1912, 1913 and 1914 the Steel
corporation will remove far great
er quantity Of Great Northern ore
in the shipping season and less
from. its own mines. This will
amount to practical conservation of
its own ore properties. Since the
largest annual amount to be moved
under the lease would be six million
tons in 1914, and since its steam
ship organization moves about
twenty-five million tons normally
yearly, it would not be a difficult
proposition to make the Great
Northern ore shipments heavier, re-
duce its own slightly and still carry
out the terms of the lease. The
reduction in the railroad ore carry
ing charges will work almost as i'm
portant changes in the general iron
and steel business, affecting vitality
the cost figures of almost every us
er of new range, ores. The freight
rate has always been maintained on
the new range railroads at eighty
cents since it was first established
in 1892, Vermilion ores in that
year (the only ones then marketed
from the ranges) commanding at
lower lake ports 81. so for Bessemer
and 1865 for non-Bessemer. 1t
was not until the next year that
the Mesaba Bessemer ore at lower
lake ports was sold at So a ton, the
non Bessemer price being fixed in
1895 at $1.90.'. The Bessemer price

Health officer Doty SAYS there is no

were taken to stamp out possible sour
Cushing's widow and four children.
In the opinion of Dr. Doty Cushing
contracted the disease from a social
ed cholera carrier. as there had been
no recognized case of cholera ON lloff-
man Island for seventeen days prior
to his leaving there. As soon as the
first case occurred among passengers
of the detained steamer Moltke, Dr.
Doty instituted a search for Cushing
and learned he was In the hospital.
deputy health officer examined
Gushing and ordered his removal to
the Swineburne island hospital where
he died.
While Cushing's death reveais the
first native case of cholera in the
present epidemic three deaths from
the disease have occurred at Swine
burne Island In the last three days
According to DR. Doty six other cases
exist at quarantine Two of these
are serious.
Three OF the six were brought In
by the steamer Perugia last night from
Naples. The perugia Is stlll at quar-

There are now under observation at

forty-three OF the crew OF the Moltke.
This tally does not agree with that
of Charles Dushkind, counsel for Inn
migrants. who recently made charges
against Or. Doty that are being IN
vestigated by a special commission
Mr.. Dushkind attempted att the In
quiry to prove by Charles Leavitt, a
carpenter at Hoffman Island, that
there are ten new cases there. Leavitt
said he had heard such report but
did not know how authentic II was.
Leavitt said on the stand, howet er,
that he had disregarded the cholera
quarantine and came last night to
his home on the east side here, wear
ing is working clothes which had not
been fumigated.
