He was lying on the floor, UNI

Big Damage Suit

Suit for 81 .O12, 900 was filed in
the district court Tuesday against
the Oliver Iron Mining company
by the Leon Iron company, the
Higgins company, the Gilbert COM
pany, Clara A. H. Smith and
Frank Sullivan Smith, fee holders
of the Norman iron mine, alleged
to have resulted from the careless
manner in which the defendant
company operated under its lease
on the mine situated at Virginia.
The petition alleges that hemin-
ing lease was assigned to the de-
fendaut company about 10 years
ago and that after the assignment
was made the defendant continued
to pay royalties to plaintiffs as
provided in the lease, but that
defendants did not mine the ore
according to the terms of the
lease, nor did it deposit the earth,

The Eveleth base ball team came
over Sunday and in the afternoon
met the Ely Fire Department team
lat Athletic Park. Notwithstand-
the rain a fair sized crowd was
present aud witnessed, some very
good plays on both sides.
/ The game was called during the
last half 81 the ninth inning to
allow the Evelefh team time to
catch their train, the score being
9 to 8 in favor of Eveleth. Ely
had two men on bases and two
out.
About the only rank feature of
the game. were several decisions
made by the Eveleth umpire which
caused many words by the
players and thesrooters. It is to be
regretted that some men will try to
umpire game of baseball when
they do not know the first rules of
the game.
The lineup of the teams was as

HAS BIG FIRE
Four Buildings Burn at
Two HarbOrS

Two Harbors was again visited
by fire Monday evening doing
damage to the extent of about
$50, 900, when the Nelson block. a
two-story frame building at the
corner of Second avenue and
Cedar street, the Olson block,
two-story frame building and two
dwelling houses were consumed.
All the buildings with the stocks OF
several business houses occupying
them were completely burned.
The fire was discovered at about
7:3O but owing to the poor water
pressure slight progress was made
in checking the flames. The D. &
I. R. fire tug Torrent was used
and had the services of the tug not
been available it is probable that
the loss would have been much
greater.

STATE FOREST
State Forest Commissioners
Here Today

Members of the State Forestry
Board arrived in the city on a
special train and meeting
of the board was held in the even
ing at the Ciy Hall. The follow
ing members of the board were
present. 2. D. Scott, of Duluth.
president of the board; Gen. G. G..
Andrews of St. Paul, secretary;
DIR. Vincent, president of the Min
nesota university; Prof. E. G..
Cheney, also of the state "U";;
State Forester w. c.. Cox and As
sistant State Forester D. P. Tier
ney. Senator Cheadle of this dis
trict and Representative Condor
were also with the party.
This morning a visit to the
BURNSIDE forest was made, This
forest is located in District No. 18,
the second largest district in the
state.
The district is about 1O2 miles
in length from east to west, and at
the narrowest point is Is miles
wide, and at the widest about 48
miles, with an average of about IS
miles, bringing a grand total of
about $500 square miles of forest
to be covered by the eight rangers
assigned to this district.
In speaking of the forest pro-
position, Gen. Andrews, secretary
of the board had the following to
say:
The land which for various
purposes were granted by congress
to the state of Minnesota have
amounted in all to a little over
eight million acres. Of these lands
the state, beginning in 1861, has
granted to railroad companies very
nearly three million acres of So
called swamp lands, permitting the
companies, where there were de-
ficiencies within the seven-mile
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1912-07-19

limits, 10 make up the full amounts
by selections elsewhere. Of the
lands granted to the state for
schools, internal improvements,
etc., the state has, since 1862, sold
1872, 1926 acres at an average
price of IS .O6 per acre, and now
holds two and one-half million
acres of which one and one-half
million acres are swamp lands.
The procesa of selecting out the
better portion of the states lands
having been in progress for so
years. it would seem natural that
of the two and one-half million
acres are what would be called
refuse lands, better adapted for the
production of timber than for agri-
cultural purposes. These million
acres, as soon as they can be select
ed, ought to be set apart for forest
ny purposes, and I recommend that
a bill be introduced at the next
regular session of the legislature
for submitting to a popular vote an
amendment to the constitution like
the following;
A commission consisting of the
governor, stale auditor and state
forester may set apart such part of
the school and other public lands
of the state as are better adapted
for the production of timber than
for agriculture, as forest reserves,
and the legislature may provide for
the management of the same on
forestry principles. The net rev.
enue therefrom shall be used for
the purpose for which the lands
were granted to the state. The
legislature may, from time to time,
provide for the purchase of adj
ditional forest reserves, and for the
disposition of the net revenue
therefrom.

contracts. The Steel Corporation
is shipping a larger percentage, OF
ore than usual. owing to the great
activity on. the Hill properties, and
the independents are not making as
good showing as the statistics of
the ore movement might be con-
sidered to indicate. Furnace
operators who have not yet fully
covered for their requirements ex-
press the opinion that they will be
able to get all the ore that they
need, but there is a very limited
supply of Bessemer ore and not a
great quantity of non Bessemer.
Prices are much firmer than they
were at the opening Of the season
and sellers are not willing to make
the concessions that were granted.
at the height of the ore selling
movement. Iron Trade Review.
