WHITE IRON
Many Stockholders and Of
ficers Here Tuesday

A dozen or more of the stock
holders and officers of the White
Iron Lake Iron Mining company
were in the city Tuesday and in
spected the property on Section 2.
To say that the gentlemen were
pleased would be putting it easy.
They were enthusiastic over the
late showing made at the property
when large body of high grade
orewas encountered on the sur
face, after having spent consider
able money in drilling far beneath
the surface.
Among those present were
'@Messrs. Labrec, Tepoorten, La
fortune, Trudell, Hoch, Pastoret
and others whose names were not
learned. The party spent the
afternoon of Tuesday on the pro-
perty and talked over the plans for
future work.
1t was decided to ship several
cars OF ore to the Jones furnace at
Iron Mountain, Mich, as soon as
the furnace now being finished was
in shape to receive it. This will
be a test run of the White Iron ore
and while the company is conf
dent of its success, it will deter
mine the size of the furnace to be
installed by the White Iron people
at their mine, construction work
on the foundation for which is ex-
pectedto begin this fall. The
gentlemen informed the MINER
representative that the furnace is
an assured fact and the only ques-
ton just now was the size, location
and all having been arranged for.
A diamond drill will again be
started there this week and the
new deposit thoroughly tested.
With the party was G. A. Graves,
proprietor of the Duluth Testing
Labratory, an institution doing
practically all the independent
work of the three Minnesota
ranges. Mr.. Graves was well
pleased with the White Iron.

July 81, 1910. This is an increase
oyer the former year of $735,486-
43, but with today's business add
ed it is believed the total increase
in revenues will be approximately
81 ,OOO,OOO
When the books were closed on
July 81, the permanent school fund
of the state will be nearly $40, O0O,-
900, probably the largest school
fund in the United States. Dur
ing the last fiscal year this fund
alone has been enriched through
land sales $6O7 ,627.9S, and total
of 90, 231.3S acres of state land has
been disposed of.

Cost Something to Die

There are men who argue that
living is high, but they might try
dying. A living man gets shaved
for Is cents, but dead one pays
SIS and never kicks. A good ker-
sey overcoat costs SIS, but a wood
en- one costs 500. A grave dig
ger will plant potatoes for 20 cents
an hour, but for planting you he
gets four times as much. A car
riage to the theatre costs So, but
one to the cemetery costs S.. A
saloon keeper will fill your hide to
busting for so cents, but the en-
balmer gets $3.50 for the same
job. Come to think of it there are
lots of things left to live for in this
world despite the high prices and
contrary weather. Exchange.

use by the company in caring for
tourists on this lake. A 12x24
unit of the main hotel building has
been built and will be used for a
kitchen and dining room this fall
for those desiring Accommodations in
the culinary line. Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Hodge have been engaged
by the company to attend to the
wants of patrons. Mrs. Hadge
will have charge of the kitchen and
will serve meals. Mr.. Hodge will
attend to the launch and boats and
otherwise make himself useful
which it is needless to say; Die"

is recognized as caterer and the
inner man will be well taken care
of under her regime. The large
main hotel building will be erected
in time to catch next seasons trade.
Already many requests for place
are being received, but owing to
the limited facilities, many are
being disappointed. The under
brush on the company grounds
have been cleared away and by all
odds this is one of the handsomest
places in this country. Bath
houses are now being erected.

IF an extra session of the leg
stature is called, would it not be a
good idea to let the Scent fare
matter drop and pay due attention
to the freight and express rates!
Only few pay fares while every
body, directly or indirectly, pays
freight and express rates. The
railroads practically admit profit
on their passenger business even
at 2 cents a mile and it begins to
look as though the fare matter is
occasionally dug up to detract at
tention from the main issue to be
looked into, the freight and express
business.

Ten thousand lakes are within
the borders of the great state of
Minnesota. They are not all large
lakes, but they are all more or less
beautiful. Some are grand and
majestic and all attractive. Most
of them contain water that is good
for man and beast. Every one is
an asset that adds to the wealth as
well as the beauty and attractive
ness of Minnesota. Think of it,
ten thousand lakes in one great
state; no wonder this is considered
a paradise by the hunter and fish
erman, who visit us by the thous-
ands every year, many OF whom
take up their permanent residence
with us because of the beauty and
attractiveness of what nature has
bestowed upon us.-StillWater

inasmuch as it is based on the

By all means let us have county
farm where the drunk can get over
his jag, the unfortunate who has
fallen and the frst-timer can have
a few days of rest and quietness
without associating in the county
Jail with murderers, thugs and
criminals of the worst kind. Cor
rection and not punishment is
needed in such cases and the aver
age man, woman, boy or girl can
be saved to the world as a useful
member, by helping hand. The
best authorities of the county favor
the farm idea, where amidst nat
ure, fresh air, light work and
wholesome food, treatment, and
not punishment, can be given
those willing but weak. Many a
young man and woman after a
petty indiscretion have been
thrown into Jail and started on a
downward course through the vile
associations with dyed-in-the-wool
criminals found there.

EVERY line in newspaper costs
the publisher something. If it is
for the benefit of an individual, it
should be paid for says one of our
exchanges. If the grocer was ask
ed to contribute groceries to one
abundantly able to pay for them,
he would refuse. The publisher OF
a newspaper must pay for the free
advertising if the beneficiary does
not, and yet it is one of the hardest
things to be learned by many, that
a newspaper has space in its
columns for rent, and must rent to
live. To give away space for any
thing less than the living rates is as
fatal to a newspaper as for land
lord to furnish free rent.
