Must Pay Back Taxes

Charles E. Adams. attorney for
the County of St. Louis, advises in
a lengthy letter, recently issued
from his of6es, that the law relative
to the 10 per cent tax on liquor
licenses which goes to the county
for road and bridge purposes has
been held constitutional by the
supreme court and he urges all
cities and villages in the county to
Immediately remit the amount due
since the law went into effect,
which was Jan. 1, 1910.
The law was tested in Sibley
county, in the village of Gibbon
and has been in the courts since
that time until the decision was
rendered, July 7.
On this and the Mesaba range
there are in the neighborhood Of
three hundred and fifty saloons
which will contribute to the fund

THREE COUNTIES
Pay Half the Taxes of
Entire State

Ramsey, Hennepin and St. Louis
counties during the fiscal year
which ends July 81, have paid
nearly one-half of all the taxes paid
into the state treasury according to
figures compiled Monday by Walter
J. Smith for his annual report.
The total amount received from
the counties in taxes during the
fiscal year amounted to $685.
562.13. From this there must be
reducted $3.50, which the
counties collected from the state,
leaving a net amount of .$3, 4O5,-
1880.
Of that amount St. Louis county
paid SSS3, 429.58, exclusive of all
royalties on iron ore leases. St.
Louis pays more taxes than any
other county in the state. Hen
nepln comes next with $40, 14O.O4
and Ramsey is third with $780,
093.75. The total from the three
counties is S1,755, o63.37.
Interesting in this connection is
the fact that although the counties
paid this amount in they received
back from the state in aid to schools
So, 767 ,99S.SO or about two thirds
of what they paid.
In aid to all schools, the state
paid 81 ,943. 4O3.SO; aid to high
schools, $36O,S59; aid to grade
schools, S119, 800; aid to semi
graded schools, S1O2, 942; and to
rural schools, S24O, 1894.
1t is expected that money paid
into the state treasury this year
will be greater by more than ST.
100000 than the fiscal year of 1911 !.

The Capital Stock of the Company
is $500, 900, par value S1.OO, the
stock is non-assessable and there
are no personal liabilities. Of the
authorized stock, 116, SOP shares
remain in the treasury for the
benefit of the Company which can
be used or issued from time to time
as may be deemed advisable and
eXpedient. The officers of the
Company are as follows: James P.
Labrec, President; Joseph Lafor-
tune, Vice-President; c. M.
Forest, Secretary and Joseph
Trudel, Treasurer. These with F.
P. Tepoorten and Reiner Hoch
comprise the board of directors.
The White Iron Lake mine
proper containing 100 acres, con-
sists of Lot 2, Sc. of NV, NE.
of S.W. and S.W. of NE, which
the Company owns in fee simple,
and the Company also holds an
option for lease on the property
adjoining which is described as the
E. u of N E. and E. u of Sc. be-
ing all in Section 2, Township g.,
Range II. The Company also
holds an option on 100 acres in
Section 4, Township 81, Range Is,
which land is located near Tower
Junction.
Another property is our open-pit
mine on the Mesaba Range at CHS
holm where we have a mining lease
on us acres.
At a meeting of the Board of
Directors held in August 1910, l
was instructed to make all neces-
sary preparations to start work at
our White Iron Lake mine at Ely,
and on September 1st of that year,
work was begun with a full crew
when a cross-cut was started at the
155 foot level, which was run IT'S
feet, when we encountered a vein
of mixed ore assaying from As to
SO per cent. From our main shaft
a drift of SO feet was also made in
all about the same formation. The
idea then occurred to us to sink our
main shaft deeper and to run a
drift so as to strike the ore that we
had encountered with our diamond
drill, but at this time, it is plea
sure to announce to all stockhold-
ers that we have made very i'm
portant strike which is nothing less
than the discovery of a ledge of
high grade ore on the very surface.
Operations are now going on IN
this ledge by sinking and trench
ing it, which ore we are now stock
piling. This shaft is only twelve
feet deep, but the whole depth is

Kangas Case Settled

The much discussed Kangas
estate case was finally settled in the
probate court Monday afternoon
with the appointment of Maria
Kangas, widow of David Kangas,
as administrators. The appoint
ment was made on the payment of
claims which were liens against the
estate, amounting to about $500.
Delay in the appointment of adj
ministrator was caused by the dis
putting of the widowhood of Maria
Kangas. The, authorities sent to
Finland to secure the marriage
certificate as proof of the wedding.
The estate is valued at about
$1,000.

all of the same high quality of ore.
By spring, we expect to have a
considerable amount in stock pile.
This formation has decided dip,
as the ore body was reached in a
diamond drill hole near same at a
depth of 400 feet. Should we
develop a mine this season, as per
anticipation, untold benefits may
be expected by all stockholders.
Adjoining on the east is the prop
erty on which the Company has an
option for lease, and preparations
are now being made to do some
diamond drilling so as to determine
the width and how far east this
vein extends. Should this proper
ty also prove up what is expected,
another mine will be added to our
present holdings. AS to our Tow
er Junction property, where we
have done considerable drilling
work, no mine has as yet been
proved there, but we still have
great faith in same. However,
work is to be discontinued on this
property for time, as we think it
advisable to rush the work at our
Ely property where drilling has to
be done. This move being neces-
sary, we have secured an extension
of time on the Tower Junction
property, where it is our privilege
to resume work later on if we so
desire. Regarding our Chisholm
mine which is being operated by
the Euclid Mining Company who
are the sublessees, we have only
received royalties on the minimum
being so, 900 tons, and netting our
Company 25c ton. Much larger
shipments, however, are expected
to be made at this mine from now
OIL.
Your directors are expecting to
| ship a few cars of ore from the
White Iron Lake mine TO Iron
Mountain, Michigan for the pur-
I pose of having same treated by the
Jones Step furnace, and this matter
was fully discussed by the stock
holders present at the annual meet
ing and all agreed unanimously to
install one of these furnaces at our
mine in case this test should prove
to bea success. Should we decide
to install a furnace, you can easily
see that much larger profit will be
derived, especially for the reason
that low grade ores can be success
fully treated by the above named
process. When in Duluth, all
shareholders are invittd to call at

WHITE IRON
President Labrec Makes
Fine Annual Report

Supplementing some general
statements concerning the White
Iron proposition on Section 2,
President Labrec of the company
says the following:
The fact that your Company is
alive and active after eight years of
corporate existence, is matter of
great pride to all concerned. As
you are we'll aware, great majority
of the mining companies organized,
exist but a short time; in other
words, the death rate among mining
companies is very high. Another
source of pride and congratulation,
is the harmony and unanimity ex-
listing among your directors.
Disputes and differences have been
unknown throughout the year, in
fact since the organization of the
Company. At our last annual
meeting, there was also harmony
as we'll as enthusiasm and it is to
be regretted that every stakeholder
could not be present. Those
present, however, showed unwaver-
ing loyalty to your directors, and
all expressed their confidence in
the management and in the Com
pany's properties, stating at the
same time that they are holding
their stock for future profits and
not for present speculation. This
loyalty on the part of the share
holders is to their own individual
interest and protection, as support
of and success of the directors
means success for the stockholders.
1t may be of interest to you to state
that instead of paying small
dividend this year the directors
decided to use the money received
in royalties from our Euclid Mine
at Chisholm for machinery and
actual work on our Vermilion
properties, from which all share
holders will likely get greater
profits in the near future. The
strength of the stock of this Com
pany and the advance in price
during the past year is matter of
pride to your directors and fact
on which they as we'll as the share
holders can we'll congratulate
themselves, for, as you well know,
most all other stocks declined
during the past twelve months.

Will Ship

A spur is being built to the
Chandler stockpile and a steam
shovel is expected almost any day
to start loading the ore.
The Chandler has sold $4,000
tons and this amount will be
shipped. The stock pile contains
in the neighborhood of IS, 900 tons
and enough is being hoisted daily
to make out the allotment in a
short time.

an imaginary fire on the map of a
National Forest and calling on a
ranger to tell offhand how and
from where he would gather help,
how he would organize and con-
duct his defence, and whence he
would obtain supplies and means
of transportation. Although con-
ditions in the East seldom present
such serious difficulties, they are
regarded as calling equally for in
telligent planning and the develop
ment of a trained force.
Under the terms of the cooper
atlve-agreements, the Secretary of
Agriculture may terminate the CO.
operation at any time that he finds
it not to be conducted in a salts
factory manner. In this way the
responsibility for organizing and
maintaining the work is placed up
on the State, which, however, must
keep its system up to good stan
dard of efficiency in order to have
the cooperation with the Federal
Government continued. Forestry
officials of the Department of Ag-
riculture will act as inspectors. to
keep the Department informed as
to how the States are handling the
work. 1t is believed that under
this system a great advance will be
made in the development of good
State systems of fire protection.
In addition to the States with
which agreements have been signed
by Secretary Wilson, Massachu,
sets, Connecticut, and MARYLAND
have requested cooperation this
year. A number of other States
have made inquiry concerning the
possibility of their entering into CO.
operative agreements with the Gov
eminent, but have found that they
could not do so under the terms o.
the law because their legislatures
have made no provision for ex
penditures on behalf of the State

1T is important. We don't know

Daysey Mayme.
At 16 she fell in love with a man
she wouldn't have spoken to IL he had
come into her life when she was 20;
and, in the next four years, was en-
gagged SO often that her mother be-
gan to mark her linen with all the let
tiers in the alphabet to be on the safe
side. She spent many hours looking
out into the dark, and was more lone.
some when with her family than when
alone.
When she was very young she sus.
pected her mother might have done
better in her marriage, and now that
she was Is and old she knew it, and
tried to make the best of her moth
er's bad bargain by making her father
al over.
She had the prettiness OF 16, and
walked as IL she owned the earth and
was on her way to take possession.
During every one OF her numerous
marriage engagements, all the world

ENGLAND WILL i I
GET BUSY ON
IMMIGRATION
Restrictive Regulations &c
Be Established for Adj
mission of Aliens. ~

LONDON (Spl. )-Home secretary
Winston Churchill, who runs the pc
lice department all over England, ha,
given it out definitely that there are
going to be some new restrictive reg
ulations established concerning the
admission of aliens into the country.
He has explained that 1t is impos.
sible to tell yet exactly what will be
done but that the general idea is tt
enlarge the present powers of expul
sion and to render the authorities
rights Of inspection more effective
than at present.
No rule will be established, how
ever, the home secretary added, fol
the exclusion of political refugees,
nor will any system of registration OF
aliens be established, as in continent.
al countries.
The home secretary's announce
ment appears on its face to imply
that Great Britain is getting tired OF
being haven of refuge for political
exiles from all over the world.
But this isn't what it really means.
1t is England's answer to the pres
sure recently brought to bear upon
it to compel Scotland Yard to become
police of Europe.
1t is only within two or three years
that England has had any trouble
with its various colonies of political
refugees. 1t was practically the only
country in Europe which gave them
shelter and the refugees appreciated
it.
They did not propose to lose their
one place Of refuge and they set their
faces resolutely against any act of
violence against the British govern
ment.
But in spite Of the influence of the
better class of these men there has
been difficulty of late-real Russian
terrorist outrages. The English au-
thorities couldn't understand it.
Neither could the refugees at first.
But the various European revolution.
airy organizations are more or less II.
ternational in their character. They
did little investigating and present
ly they gave the police the benefit of
the result of their researches.
The outrages weren't the work OF
genuine political outlaws, they said,
but of ordinary criminals engaged by
agents provocateur" from Russia and
other continental countries to make
the British hate the politicals.
If this object could be accomplish
ed, so the politicals said. there would
be no place for them to be safe in al
all, and the despotic rulers of the
countries they were forced to flee
from could hunt them down and ex-
terminate them at their leisure.
The home Office evidently accepted
this information as true. At any rate
It is not going to be coerced into join
ing the rest of Europe in its war
upon men whose only crime, as the
English see 1t, Is resolute opposition
to the oppression of mere despotic
governments. But it does intend to
use a little more discrimination in
future.
In fact, the English are rather
proud of their exiles. 'Voltaire, Mem
tesquieu, Alfieri and Cayour did not
run away from their own countries"
says the Times, in discussion of the
record. They came to England as
to warm fireside and never forgot
the duty which they owed to us.
