BLACK DIAMOND. NAN
IS OPTIMISTIC
Says Business Outlook is Better
Than for Year Past.

Mature S. Dessau, member of
one Of the largest Of the New
York black diamond importing
firms, at the Spalding today ex-
pressed an optimistic view of bust
ness. Mr.: Dessau has come from
New York, where he says there is
a more hopeful outlook for bust
ness than there has been for the
the past year.
elm the days that most of US
hope are past" said Mr.. Dessau,
"some of us were in the habit of
waiting a year before a presiden-
tial election to see who was to be
elected and then holding off bust
ness until about year after the
new president had been in Office
in order to become better &C.
quainted with his business poll
cies.
"Business men have to some ex-
tent at least gotten over that idea.
That is one Of the reasons why
we are hearing less talk at the
present time regarding business
in it's relation to politics than has
been the case during the past
presidential elections. The COM
ing presidential election to large
extent has been largely discount
ed. 1t is the supply and the de-
mand that at the present time are
counting more than the question
as to who is going to be the next
president.
"The business men of New York
are feeling better. There is bet;
ter demand for manufactured ar
ticles all over the country. The
business right at the present time
is better than it was six months
ago and the outlook is better than
it has been for year. Business
in the East is beginning to show
an increase Of activity, and the
feeling is one of confidence. ~

NEW IRON RANCE
IS DISCOVERED?
Land Boom Follows Report Of
Rich Iron Deposits Near Eagle
River.-Range Runs Through
Four Counties.

Numerous sales of cutover land,
hitherto considered practically
worthless by lumber companies,
and the advance guard Of a new
boom, have followed the recent
discovery Of what is expected to
prove a rich deposit Of iron ore
in the vicinity Of Eagle River,
says dispatch to the Milwaukee
Sentinel.
The range, which extends from
northern Michigan through Villas,
Iron, ONEIDA and Price counties,
is declared by enthusiastic specu-
lators to equal that Of the Mesaba
claims. Land which has not been
considered worth SIS an acre is
selling for $50 and more. Ac-
cording to report more than 1000
acres have been acquired by Chi
cago interests.
Large sales, aggregating 5000
acres, have been reported by j.
+. Ilarrigan, former Iron county
resident, now in the west, the
Brooks & Ross company and the
T.. II. Staples company. It is de-
clared by prospectors that the ore
at Turtle lake, in the heart of
the new range, lies but thirty feet
blow the surface.
Some time ago The Enterprise
was informed that the John D.
Rockefeller interests were quietly
purchasing all the available cut
over land offered for sale in this
county in the vicinity of the Mer-
Ger lake region and even as far
north as Pine Lake, and now have
many thousand acres under their
control.

The Rod Well Applied.

John Wesleys mother believed in
birching children at the earliest posi-
BILE age. Each one of her family was
compelled to celebrate his fifth BIRTH

In order that this task might be &C
