Moving Towns to Make Way for
 Lake Superior Mines.

One of the richest country districts in the world is the township of Stuntz, Mesabi range. It is approximately 12 miles square, and includes all of the big mines in the Hibbing field. The valuation of the township is more than lOO,000,0 ,000S. It has been reported that because of mining necessities the U. $. Steel Corporation contemplates the removal of the village of Hibbing to new site.
 It may be stated that while this wholesale transfer of the metropolis of the range will eventually take place, it is not likely that plans for undertaking will be taken up for more than a decade to come. Excepting Tn a very small area, the mining activi- ties of the Steel Corporation will not seriously encroach upon the improved portions of the town for the next 15 years, and possibly longer, notwith- standing that some streets even now front upon yawning pits. It is well known that Hibbng is underlaid with ore, controlled by the Steel Corpora tion, and that some day the village will have to give way to the on- slaughts of the miner. The only in- centive to an early removal, perhaps, could be that the town is growing, and the job will be larger and Fore ex- penslve with the lapse of time.
 The transfer of Hibbing to a new To- cation would not be without precedent on the Mesabi. A goodly portion of Eveleth was shifted to make room for the development of Steel Corporation's Spruce mine, while the site of the former village of Sparta is now an open pit in which steam shovels are at work. The removal of Hibbing will be tremendous task, for while a village in name, the community is a busy little city with 10000 people, hun. dreds of residences, scores of fine business blocks and up- -tO-date public conveniences.-Los Angeles Mining Review.

Conical Mill for South-
 western Copper.

The boy locally known as Johnnie Powse, who was shot by companion nearly month ago, IS getting along nicely at the Indian School, at Valen- tine. where he was taken the day after the shooting. The little fellow had been shot through the head, the bullet entering on the right side, above the ear, and passing, so it is thought, through the brain and lodging in the left side of the skull. The right arm is paralyzed and the right leg is part ly paralyzed. The boy is able to sit up and recognizes everybody, but ap- pears to be unable to talk. It is the intention to take him to Los Angeles and have an X-Ray examination made of the head to ascertain the feasibility of removing the bullet and possibly re- store him to normal health. The gov ernment defrays the expense of treat ment, the lad being a student at the school
 A few days ago at Seligman Pedro Garcia plunged dagger into the neck of Francisco Valesco, severing the jugular vein and causing instant death. The two men were intoxicated and be- came involved in quarrel over some money, when without warning Garcia drew his knife and made a lunge at Valesco, who threw up his hand to protect himself and the blade passed through the hand pinning it to his neck. The poor victim fell to the ground and expired. Garcia is in jail at Prescott. Seligman is getting an unenviable reputation from the many murders and assaults that have been committed there the past few years, and the big double tracking gangs ot Mexicans are not improving the tone of the place.
