The University School for
Nurses

Three years ago the University
of Minnesota organized the first
school for nurses under direct
University control in this country
or, indeed, in any other country.
The first class has just completed
the three years course of in
struction; and reception was
given to the graduates at Shevlin
Hall early in March. Members of
the faculty of the College of
Medicine and Surgery were present
and friends of the graduating class
were invited. The Class pins,
which serve as the symbol of
graduation from the University
School for Nurses, were conferred
upon them by Dean Wesbrook.
Although the period of gradua-
tion does not correspond with the
University Commencement, it has
been arranged that diplomas will
be conferred upon graduates of the
School when other degrees are
given at the commencement oc-
casion in June.

SWELL TIME
Ladies' Leap Year Party
Grand Success

Fully seventy-fve couples were
on the floor at the Turf Hall Tues
day evening when the opening
strains of Lacrosse started the leap
year dancing party given by the
ladies of the Leap Year Club.
Dances followed one another in
rapid succession to the excellent
strains of the orchestra and it was
with reluctance that the crowd
dispersed at 3 a. m. when Home.
Sweet Home" concluded the
pleasant evening.
The decoration committee had
transformed the hall into thing
of beauty, Easter lilies being the
prime pieces with white and green
predominating. Everyone spoke
of the decorations and admired the
artistic color and place scheme.
At midnight a most palatable
lunch was served by Mrs. Forceia
assisted by the ladies of the club.
15S were served in a remarkable
short time.
Many outside guests were pre-
sent among whom were parties
from Winton, Tower, Virginia,
Duluth and other places.

O. Market

Several hundred thousand tons
of ore have been sold during the
past week, including more than a
hundred thousand tons for eastern
delivery, says the Iron Trade Re-
view. The eastern consumers are
continuing to manifest lively in
terest in lake ores and representa-
tives of prominent Cleveland COM
panies are now in the east. 1t is
understood that some ore bound for
England has not been delivered on
account of the coal miners strike
in that country, but has been
diverted to the buyers on this side
of the Atlantic, and may interfere
somewhat with the sales of lake
ore. The ore situation is some
what mixed. While, on the one
hand, concessions have been made
to buyers, it is true on the other
hand that some selling companies,
feeling that prices may advance
later in the year, are offering only
limited tonnage of their ores at
present prices. Concessions are
not expressed so much in the re-
duction of quotations on base prices
as in the looping off of premiums
on certain high grade ore which
are due the sellers under the method
of calculating ore values. On old

All of the section foremen en-
ployed on the Duluth & Iron

for a discussion with various of
flcials in regard to work and con-
ditions along the road. This is a
custom followed out by the Iron
Range for a number of years past.
The men gathered at the Y. M. c..

shortly afterward sat down to a
splendid baquet. After the BAN
quet was over w. A. Clark, chief
engineer of the road, made a

Lorne Fowler, chief clerk to the
roadmaster, and in addition several
of the foremen were called upon
and they responded with short
talks.

CANCELS LEASE
Fee Owners Take Steps to
Cancel Lease on Norman
Mine

The Leon Iron company filed
papers with the register of deeds
Saturday of the cancellation of its
cantract with the Oliver Iron Min
ing company, which operated the
Norman mine at Virginia.
The notice of cancellation was
served on the mining company
Feb. IS, and it is said this was
done because the conditions under
which the mine is operated have
resulted. in the loss of too many
lives.
1t is understood the filing of the
papers is only the first step toward
an attempt to collect heavy damages
for alleged mismanagement of the
mine, and it is thought the Oliver
Iron Mining company will fight
the cancellation in the courts.
The notice filed with the register
of deeds claims that the Oliver
Mining company for several years
past, and especially during the last
eight months, has mismanaged the
operation to such an extent as to
constantly endanger human life in
the operation of said mine; and
much nerchantable ore has been
lost and destroyed and the walls of
said mine left in such condition
that the further operation of the
same without the expenditure of
large sums of money will be con-
slant menace to the lives of men
working in said mine. "
In speaking of the subject Satur-
day, H. B. Fryberger, who re-
presents the fee owners, said:
The mine has been operated
during the last year in a ruinous
way, and our engineers inform me
that it will cost my clients upward
of S50O,00O to put the mine in
shape to be operated without ex-
treme danger to human life.
The records show that nineteen
men have been killed during the
last year. Within the last week a
slide of about 200, 900 tons of rock
and ore went into this pit within
fifteen or twenty minutes after the
miners left for the night.
The fee owners have protested
time and time again to the officers
OF the company against cutting the
mine, destroying the 1Cre and en-.
dangering the lives of the men,
but no attention has been paid tc
them, and for this reason the lease
was cancelled.
The fee owners are G. c..

lGilbert estate, Clara A. H. Smith

company.

Physical ImpOssibility

The papers of the week of March
II contained the announcement of
the discovery of a billion tons of
red, brown, and carbonate iron ore
ranging from 81 to 63 per cent of
iron, in Dickeys Mountain, Lowries
Knob, and the Meadow Ground
Fulton County, Pa. The geology
of Fulton County is well known
from the report of the State geolo-
gical surveys, and the impossibility
of there being such body or ore
is apparent to anyone who will
read these reports and study the
maps. A billion tons of iron
would occupy a volume nearly
equal to the mass of the three
mountains" named; moreover,
carbonate of iron when chemically
pure contains only 48 per cent of
iron and brown ore less than 90
per cent.
Nevertheless, to ascertain what
might have given rise to the re-
ports, Director Smith, of the United
States Geological Survey, sent
Geologist George H. Ashley into
Fulton County to make an investi-
CATION. He reports that -un-
doubtedly these hills contain
several million tons of low-grade
red iron ore and may contain a

GOOD WORK
The Dead Chandler Clearly
Very Much Alive

The Chandler is forging steadily
ahead in the work of opening up
an ore deposit estimated to keep
the mine on the producing list in a
conservative way for many years.
So far no actual mining has been
done and while there are 40, 900
on the stock pile produced this
winter, all was raised in the pro-
cess of development.
The mine is now working on
the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
levels. Eighty-fve men are en-
ployed and forty miners are work
ing on a shift. The pay roll now
runs up to S., 500 a month ex-
elusive of supplies. On all the
levels being opened by means of
drifts, ore is at hand in abundant
quantities and of quality as good
as any heretofore mined at the
Chandler. On the sixth level
drifts have been driven north and
south and a crosscut south has
shown 800 foot body of ore easily
mined.
The management feels assured
that if occasion demands 100000
tons can be produced and shipped
this year with the present equip
ment. A drift is now being made
to the old No. S shaft and later it
is proposed to drift to old No. 6.
1t IS also the intention of the COM
pany to get more machinery and
put No. 5 shaft into commission
as soon as practicable.
Capt. Coombs is in charge of
the mine and is doing most ex-
cellent work.

ore and more low grade brown ore

small amount of high-grade brown
ore and more low-grade brown ore.
Mr.. Ashley found that three
drill holes have been sunk into a
shallow, canoe-shaped basin deposit
of red shale forming the Meadow
Ground. ;" The deposit is readily
measured in length, breadth, and
depth, If it were all ore, it would
hardly contain 3O,O00,O0O tons.
The rocks are we'll exposed and
show practically no iron except the
iron coloring the rocks. Lowries
Knob, if solid hill of ore, would
contain only about 100, ,OOO,OOO
tons. The rocks here are likewise
well exposed. A pocket of brown
ore has been worked out on the
east side by the old Hanover fur
mace, yielding about IS, 900 tons of
ore (4o per cent iron The
cove" fault runs through Lowries
Knob and Dickeys Mountain, so
that the rocks forming them stand
on edge and locally are crumpled.
Dickeys Mountain contains some
low grade sandy iron ore on the
west side, possibly 100000 tons,
as the bed is cut off against the
fault. A little brown ore, IA inches
to feet thick (3S per cent iron,
was dug for the Hanover furnace
but abandoned as Improbable.
The black shales of the Devonian
are present in the region but no
suggestion of carbonate ore was
seen.

HENEY LED

CHICAGO, June 19.-After bolting once from the credentials committee under the orders of Colonel Roose- welt and being called back by the Roosevelt managers to the committee room all the Roosevelt members of the credentials committee except R R. Mccormick left again at 11:45 de- Claring they were "Out for good" After the Roosevelt men left, the com mittee took up the cases but had not proceeded far when motion to ad- journ until 9 in the morning was adopted. Senator Dixon left with the Roosevelt men.
 These men are tired and will go home and go to bed" he said. T think the other fellows are wasting time to stay here tonight"
 Heney and Halbert who led the bolt, were the only ones to talk at
 length on the situation. "Is this a bolt?" Heney was asked. You can call it what you want to- he said i; these are the facts-every Roosevelt man with the exception of Mccormick walked out because they were con Vinced, from the rules which were proposed that there was no intention of giving a valid hearing. The cases heard before the national committee was a farce; this was worse. The lineup was perfectly plain, 32 to 19.'' Halbert said the break came because the committee limited the time and excluded evidence.

Evidently Despairing of the Revolution Orozco
 and Other Prominent Rebels Are Sending Their Wealth to United States
TAssoCIATEp PRESS DISPATCH

CHIHUAHUA, June 19.-The next move in the Mexican revolution prob ably will be made by the government. At General Orozco's rebel headquarters here today it was declared that the ad- vance of General Huerta's federal army would be awaited at Bachimba forty six miles south of here where the in- surrectos have strongly fortified them selves.
 The federals it is known are anxious to draw them out into the open
 The big engagement upon which the fate of the evolution seems to hinge probably will not occur for several days as the rebels today destroyed the big wooden bridge at Ortiz fifteen miles south of Bachimba which was nearly mile long, This as well as smaller structures must be repaired before the federal commander can bring his ar tillery north. The government has thousand men detailed to bridge re- pairing alone
 Gen. Inez Salazar virtually second in command to Gen. Orozco arrived here today from LaCruz where he has been directing the skirmishing with the federal outposts. Salazar is i'll and has left Gen. Marcello Caraveo in command at the front. A dynamiting crew mostly Americans, employed by the Mexican government is operating be- tween nere and Juarez and will prob ably blow up all important railroad trestles on the Mexican Central The ob- ject of the expedition is to cut wire and railroad communication between Chi huahua and Juarez and make Juarez destitute of supplies and support in case of ln attack by federals from So- nora.

CHICAGO, June 19-The Taft forces were gleeful when they heard of the troubles of the credentials com mittee The news struck the Taft headquarters just when half a hun dred delegates and a number of lead CTS were crowded in the rooms of Director Mckinley.
 Did they bolt? How many went out? Who were they?"
 A storm of other questions broke over the bearer of the tidings. When the complete bolt of the Roosevelt people became known Mckinley rubbed his hands.
 That means they are beaten" he exclaimed. There is no question about it. A bolt of that committee meeting is a flat admission of defeat.
 Privately the Taft forces took the view that a bolt from the committee ment that the Roosevelt managers would order a bolt of the convention if the credentials committee report seating the contested Taft delegates was adopted

George Behm Volunteered to Testify Against Oar row on Account of Spite Against Him About Ex- pense Money
TWAS A GOOD DAY
 FOR THE DEFENSE
He Admitted on Cross Ex- animation That He Was a Per.iurer and Indicated That He Was Not Averse to Becoming One Again
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcHl

LOS ANGELES, June 19-Darrow occupied the center of the stage ar his trial for alleged jury bribery to- day when he consumed nearly the en- tire day with his cross examination of George Behm, the uncle of Ortie McManigal. It was a hard day for the witness and at the end of the cross examination the attorneys for the defense expressed themselves as more than satisfied.
 Behm seemed much confused and it was difficult to get an answer from him. Such answers as he did give to queries touching upon his relations with Darrow in connection with the McNamara case were con- sidered distinctly favorable to the de- fendant.
 Behm admitted that he had not been told by DarrOw to testify false ly to the grand jury and that he had received merely expense money to come to os Angeles and that Mrs. McManigal first asked him to make the trip because she was not in good health
 He admitted also that he had vol unteered his services as a witness in the present trial and upon being pressed, indicated by his testimony, that he had a grievance against Oar row over the expense money he claimed the latter agreed to give him.
 The reason for his appearing as a witness against DarrOw, the witness said, was a desire to "clear" himself because of having committed perjury bfeore the grand jury last August. The witness admitted that his first visit to Ortie McManigal in the coun- ty jail was upon the latters invita- tion.
 Did you not tell me after the first visit that Ortie was not the man you knew him to be, that he was crazy or doped or had been bought by Burns detectives?" asked Darrow.
 Yes, I said something like this?'' was the reply. The entire purpOrt of the cross examination was to show that Behm had not been corrupted by DarrOW.
