Ore Shipments

Heave ice on the lakes seriously
interfered with the ore movement
during April, when only 7o4,0
tons were shipped, compared with
831, 645 tons in April, 1911, a
decrease of 127 ,603 tons, says the
Iron Trade Review. During April,
1910, the feet moved 1 $50, sos
tons. The season opened that year
with a great rush, much to the re-
greet of vessel owners later, when
they were compelled to Withdraw a
considerable number of their vessels
from the trade.
Preliminary estimates of ore on
docks May 1, show 5,717, 8O1 tons
on hand, compared with s, 687 1925
tons on dock May 1, 1911. Weather
conditions this week have not been
favorable for operation of boats or
for the shipment of ore from mines
to upper lake docks. The move
ment of ore from Lake Erie docks
during April, was 1 1914, 627 tons,
compared with 9so,574 tons in

The death of Mrs. Jos. Mantel
occurred Friday night after an
illness of several weeks of cirrhosis
of the liver. The death was a
severe shock to the many friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Mantel.

death 40 years of age. Her maiden
name was Fannie Kukar and she
was married to Mr.. Mantel at Tow
er in 1894. With her husband she
resided in various range towns for
three years coming to Ely Is years
ago. No children have been born
to the couple and besides her hus-
band, one sister and three brothers
survive her, one brother and one
sister residing at Gilbert. She was
member of the St. Cyril and
Method society and was well known
and beloved by all her acquaint-
ances.
The funeral took place Sunday
from the Catholic church and was
one of the largest ever seen here.
The society was present as body
in uniform and escorted the re-
mains to the cemetery. Rev.
Father Buh conducted the services
and addressed the crowded church
briefly. The floral offerings were
beautiful and showed the high
esteem in which deceased was held.
Choirmaster Bolka and assistants
sang several fine selections.
Among those from outside who
attended the funeral were Mr.. and
Mrs. Jos. Spitznagel and daughter
and Mr.. and Mrs. Leo. Kukar and
family of Gilbert; Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Kotze and family of Eveleth;
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Trampush of

ginia; Mrs. A. Kayfesh of Buhl;

Begin Road Work

Commissioner McMahan has be-
gun in earnest the work of improv-
ing the highways in this vicinity.
He has had large crew at work
on the White Iron Road for over a
week under Foreman Nickson and
has also started a crew on the
Burnside road under Foreman
Dinsmore. Both of these much
travelled highways will be put in
excellent condition.
The Burnside road will be
graveled, made wider, and changed
on some of the hills. At present
the road Is considerably cut up as
the heavy toting to the camps in
the late fall and early spring have
cut ruts that made it bad.
With the widening Of the way
| in some places and leveling in
others this will be one of the best
and most used highways in this
vicinity. The trip to the lake is

land this year promises to be still
heavier.
To the credit of Commissions
| McMahan it must be said that tn
road fund appropriated to thi
district is being spent on the road
to the extent of every penny. Mr.
| McMahan knows how roads shou1t
be built and has his foremen do tn,
most for the money. This is on
advantage in having a practica
imam at the head.

rest assured that no matter how
much the appropriation every cen
