diets State Auditor.

st. Paul.-Eight hundred thousand
dollars, or double the amount ever be-
fore received, will flow into the trea-
sury of the state of Minnesota next
year from iron ore royalties, accord
ing to an estimate made by State
Auditor S. G. Iverson, and in a period
that promises the greatest business
activity and commercial prosperity the
state has ever. known, the revenues
of the commonwealth will rise to rec
ord-breaking proportions.
Due to Steel Revival.
Revival of activity in the country's
iron and steel trade, which began in
the spring, stimulated by railroad and
other improvement and new construc-
ton enterprises as the northwest's
great crop began to appear, is affect
ing Minnesota, not only by creating
enormous figures for ore shipments as
a whole, but by a movement from state
mines that had made new record up
to last night, when Mr.. Iverson esti-
mated 100000 tons as the total for
shipments up to the close of September
or for the season.

movement from state lands this year

Duluth, Minn.-Rioting in connec-
ton with the street car strike broke
out again Sunday evening, and for
an hour cars passing through the
West End manufacturing suburb were
stoned and several passengers in
1ured. The trouble was suppressed
and all was quiet after time. There
was also trouble in Superior, one car
on the interstate line being wrecked.
The outbreak followed a parade of
the strikers which was held in both
cities. The cars were filled with a
crowd returning from a football game,

alleged, refused to give out transfers

hit an infant held in the arms of its
mother. Blood trickled down the
child's forehead and the mother be-

the car as well as the women called
for help.
While the excitement was at its
height fusillade of rocks came
through on the opposite side of the
car. The vehicle was brought to
stop and those passengers who wanted
to get off did so.
The car just ahead of the one stoned
was boarded by a crowd of strike
sympathizers, which stole the trolley
complete and marched off with it, leav-

crossing, from which point it was lat

The conductor of the disabled car
was bounced upon by crowd of men
who, it is claimed, tore his money

scattered coins. The police squad on
the scene was unable to cope with the
situation and riot call was sent to
headquarters. Reinforcements arrived
and the trouble was over.

for the remarkable condition now ex-
