Inspection Of Marietta Rifles.

The annual inspection of The Ma.
rietta Rifles was held on Monday,
March 9th, 1911, by Major Williams,
of the Coast Artillery. for the United
States Government and by Major Pal
mer, U. S. A, retired, for the State of
Georgia.
All property Of the Company was re-
ported as being in good condition, rec,
ords in very good shape and discipline
good
On account of so many new men in
the company the inspection on guard
duty was not quite as good as last
year but the Inspectors report that as
a whole the company made better
showing than at last inspection. The
company has ten men who have had
only one months service and some
only two weeks service.
After the inspection Major Palmer
gave the men a short talk, compli
menting them on the showing made
and encouraging them to use their
best efforts to try to build the com
pany up to the best in the State.

one we would not be compelled to
bring jurors from Duluth and pay
them $500 or $3.50 mileage and
Duluth would not be compelled to
take range jurors to Duluth and
pay them the like fee. Jurors
could attend court on the range
during the day and be at home
Pevenings. The same at Duluth.
AS it now stands juror is taken
away from home and business
necessarily a great many days OF
the month, and usually finds that
the amount paid him is inadequate
to pay even his living and travel
ing expenses.
In case man is arrested upon
an indictable offense. is bound
over to await the action of the
grand jury, is unable to give bond,
and is convicted, by the time he is
returned to the county Jail to be
sent to the state prison the county
has paid in that one case total
mileage of from 675 to 800 miles.
This expense is borne by both Sec
lions of the county. In case of
county division no taxes would be
spent in what is now useless travel
ing for this department.
The county seat is seventy-five
(75) to one hundred (1OO) miles
away from the range. If man
chooses to adjust matters of valu-
alton before the County Board of
Equalization, examine the records
as to taxes, incumberances of liens
against real estate, or has any
other business involving county
records he must go seventy-fve
(75) or one hundred (1OO) miles
or more to do so. If he has mat.
tiers pending in district court re.
lative to title in real estate or mat.
tiers before the probate court OF
juvenile court he must go as far tc
transact county business as most
citizens have to travel to transact
state affairs at the capital. We
are as far removed from the seat Of
our local county government as
St. Peter, St. Cloud and Owatonns
are from the state capital.
County Division is submitted as
a fair and just remedy and the
only remedy.

The Ely Business Mems As

in an interesting session. Officers
were elected for the ensuing year
as follows.

A. communication from the
Tower Commercial Club, asking
for the appointment of a committee
to confer with a committee from
their Ct ub in regards to prospec-
tive railroad running east and west
through Tower and Ely, was read
and a committee was appointed to
confer with the Tower committee.
The letter from Prest. House of
the Duluth & Iron Range regarding
the earlier arrival of the evening
train was acted upon and accepted
after a debate in which several
spoke. The letter stated that the
train could be gotten in here half
hour earlier if that would be salts
factory and the majority seemed to
be of the impression that as the
company had issued their
ultimatum, that was the best that
could be done and a motion to ap-
point a committee to still further
confer with Prest. House was voted
down.
The m Getting then resolved itself
into committee of the whole and
listened to the county division
discussions as noted in another
column.

IT is the opinion that the officials
of the Duluth & Iron Range threw
us nice big fat slap in the mouth
with their letter offering to cut off
half an hour from the time of the
evening train into this city. This
will bring the train in here at 7:45
when on time. 1t is very evident
that the wishes of the people of
Ely, Winton, Section Thirty and
Tower, do not cut as much figure
with the railroad people as do the
few pennies gathered up on the
route and for which A stops are
made between here and Two Har-
bors.

THE larger part of the Senators
forget that they were elected on a
re-apportionment platform and be-
fore election were willing to stand
on anything to gain the convicted
seat. They have forgotten their
promises to the people now they
have the office. 1t is remarkable
to see staid and dignified senator
stoop to peanut politics when there
is the least chance of his exchequor
being endangered to the value of a
single cent. The desire to serve
the dear people is only second to
the desire to get the cash.

In another column will be found
a statement issued by the Iron
County Development Association
on the matter of county division.
The MINER publishes the same by
request and not as the sentiment of
this paper. The figures are un-
doubtedly correct and exhibit a
state of affairs as it actually exists
but whether county division would
remedy the same is matter of
personal opinion to be settled at
the election providing the bill now
before the legislature becomes a
law.

Ely, Mimi, Feb. 9, 1911.

THE average legislator seems to
think that it is his sworn duty to
regulate the business of the other
fellows by law. Thus did the
diciples of the anti-cigarette
brigade two years ago clutter up
some nice clean white paper in the
law book with an edict prohibiting
the sale of cigarettes in the state.
1t now comes to light that cigarettes
are on sale in the corridors of the
state capital at St. Paul and every
other place where tobacco is for
sale in the state. The Pioneer
Press editorially commenting on
the condition says:
There is no advantage to be
gained by enacting or retaining a
statute that is not taken seriously.
1t would be far better to repeal the
anti-cigarette law than to continue
to ignore it and thus foster disre-
gard for law in general. Law is
effective only in so far as it is back
ed by public sentiment. The anti
cigarette law, or any other equally
lacking in popular support, should
be off the book

mine. Mr.. Kennedy is also work
ing on the Camp Claim adjoining
the Lucky Boy; also on the McCue
Property in Section 1O-62-14.
This latter property he has been
drilling for some time and it Is
expected working shaft will be
commenced on it in the early
spring.
Shaft sinking on the A1mar Mine
in section 15-62-14 is going on
quite rapidly under the supervision
of Captain King. This is one of
the most favorab1y located proper
ties between Tower and Ely, and it
also contains a very rich formation
of mixed ore and jasper in which a
shaft is now being sunk. Good
reports are expected from this pro-
perty in the very near future.
The White Iron Lake Iron Com
pany are still working in the drift
from the bottom of their shaft in
Section 3-62-12. They expect to
reach the ore body which they
struck with their diamond drills,
in about 90 days; if so this pro-
perty is likely to be on the ship
ping list next season.
Sometime ago the White Iron
Lake Iron Company sunk forty
degree diamond drill hole about
seven hundred feet deep on its
property in Section 4-61-15, and
encountered such favorable results
that they have commenced another
deep hole at an eighty-fve degree
angle in order to cut the ore for
nation much deeper down. All
the drill work done on this prop
erty has been encouraging to the
company, and its president.
James LeBrec, is to be con-
graduated on his successful
management of same.

HE WANTS TO KNOW
EDITOR MINER;

Dear Sir:-A few weeks ago
petitions were circulated and sign
ed by everyone approached here in
Ely, Winton, Section 80 and Tow
er asking the railroad people for
the earlier arrival of the evening
train setting forth in the petitions,
that, it would be for the business
social and moral welfare of these
places to have the train arrive
earlier.
An answer was received from
Prest. House of the Duluth & Iron
Range offering to change the sched-
ule to half an hour earlier by leav-
ing Duluth 80 minutes earlier, still
consuming five hours on the run
between here and Duluth, III
miles.
The letter was read before a
meeting of the Ely Business Mems
Association Wednesday evening
and on motion the terms were &C
cepted and the secretary instructed
to notify Mr.. House that the terms
would be accepted.
AS the petitions were not circu-
lated under the auspices of the Ely
Business Mems Association, the
question has arisen, what had they
to do with it and what right had
they to answer for the signers of
Tower, Winton and Section 80?
The change proposed in the time
is not satisfactory to the signers of
the petition by any means and the
half an hour does not change the
conditions one bit. People travel
ing to Winton and Section 80
coming in on the evening train,
put in about two hours more on
the road before getting home and
the trip is surely a hardship for
them. The arrival of the train at
7:45 does not help Ely conditions
as given in the petition.
Why can't the railroad company
pay a little attention to this end
and not all to Two Harbers, Duluth
and the Mesaba range? Why can t
they run the morning train to &C
comodate the stops at every cross
ing and farm house on the line and
run the afternoon train as limit
ed? We don't propose to dictate,
but it would be a source of some
satisfaction to have the company
appreciate the business secured
from this end. The evening pas
senger and mail service into Ely is
a damnable arrangement and that
is all there is to it. More later.
ONE OF THE SIGNERs.

THE Guyana
Woodbridge's Report on
the Guyana Range,

Dwight F. Woodbridge, the Du-
1uth mining engineer whose writ
ings and opinions have gained en-
inent distinction, has to say of the
Guyana range developments and
the prospective future of the new
range as follows:
Throughout the year many
drills were working on the Guyana.
While some ore was shown it is
incontrovertible that results have
not been as great as expected.
Some wellknown mine operators of
the region go so far as to say there
was no ore found during the year
that could be sold to the market.
While this is probably an exag-
geration, the fact remains that the
amount of merchandise one so far
found, aside from what is being
opened by the Rogers-Brown Ore
company, is quite disappointing.
To be sure, some sales of properties
have been, at good figures and at
minimums, indicating the belief in
large tonnage, but it is one thing
to explore piece of land for the
seller and quite another to check it
by series of holes, from the stand
point of the buyer, both parties
being all the time honest and fair
in their procedure, Probably no
Lake Superior ore can be sold today
that is not guaranteed at SO per
cent natural iron and phosphorus,
and this so per cent natural will
mean about Sc per cent iron dried
at 213 degrees. There may be a
mine or two of that class of ore on
the Guyana range, but if more 1 do
I
not know of them. When one re-
collects that drilling operations
have been continual there for the
past six or eight years, with as
high as 100 drills busy at times,
the result appears rather meager.
The territory that is found to show
no attraction by dip needle work is
continually increasing and there
may be important finds outside the
area already partially drilled, while
there is abundant room within the
explored region for mines of large
tonnage. Doubtless explorations
will continue there for years, and
it will not be possible to attempt
for long time any definite state
ment as to tonnage on the range.
Holes have shown ore assaying as
high as SO per cent iron and down
to OH phosphorus, which is excep-
tionally good, but the total tonnage
of such ore is slight

EFFECTS OF
COUNTY DIVISION
LINE OF DIVISION.

The proposed line of division is
the line running east and west be-
tween townships IS and Sc. This
line divides the county as respects
population into two nearly equal
portions.
COMPARATIVE POPULATION
The federal census places the
total population of St. Louis County
at 10000 inhabitants in round
numbers of which 10, 900 are in the
City of Duluth, leaving a balance
of IS, 900 for the remaining portion
of the county. Of this number
about IA 900 are within old ST..
Louis Co. leaving Iron Co. about
II, 900 people.

COMPARATIVE TAXES
The county tax for St. Louis
County for the year 1911 for county
purposes is 81 ,O62, 500. 40.
From the preceding paragraph
and table it will be seen that the
new section pays approximately
80 per cent of this amount, OF
$3.50. S59.25.
1t is submitted as a very fair and
reasonable general proposition that
one-half of any county can govern
itself efficiently upon less than 81
per cent of the amount used for the
entire county.
