Old Resident Passes

1t was with much regret that the
people here learned of the death in
Duluth last week of Alois Elmer,
well known here and a frequent
visitor in this city. Mr.. Elmer
was one of the first men to visit
this country in the early days. He
was the owner of the property up
on which the Almar Mining COM
pany was doing work at Eagles
Nest Lake and only few weeks
ago he paid the property visit.
o. Mr.. Elmer was a resident of Du-
luth AZ years, settling here in his
early manhood and engaging in the
real estate business. He latter
turned his attention to mining pro-
perties until he retired from active
life few years ago. He was 70
years of age.
Beside. his widow he is survived
by three sons and three daughters.
They are George, Louis and Arthur
Elmer. Mrs. E. J. Wenzel and
Mrs. w. B. Marshall of Duluth and
Mrs. A. P. Guerin of St. Paul.
The funeral took place in Duluth
Thursday of last week. Rev. A.
w. Ryan officiated and the funeral

McGTeevy Steel Company Formed

At meeting held Tuesday
the McGreevy Steel company was
formed, with every prospect of the
new enterprise becoming an active
competitor for business from now
on, says the News Tribune.
The consolidation was due to the
efforts of John c. McGreevy and
associates of Duluth. The other
Duluth men associated in the deal
include Henry Turkish, J. w.
Irwin, R. N. Chaffee and Paul F.
Chamberlain.
The properties taken into the
consolidation are the Sheridan,
Buckholtz, Purcell. Bennington
Leroy and all the McGreevy hold
ings.
The McGreevy people have spent
500, 900 in the exploration of their
properties, and have shown up
enormous iron ore deposits.
The Sheridan mine is located on
the townsite of Iron River. Its
title being defective, it was unable
to operate until recently. The
shaft on this property is 33S feet
deep and it is opened up from four
levels. 1t will be Immediately re-
watered, and the shaft sunk to the
50O-foot level. From that point
active mining will be begun. This
property is proven and contains a
large deposit of ore. 1t will ship
next year.
The Buckholtz mine lies one-half
mile west of Iron River. It has a
shaft 36S feet deep, opened with
two levels, in which the ore body
has been shown up. The property
is fully equipped with excellent
machinery. It's unwatering will
begin at once. 1t will be shipper
next year.
The Purcell property is located
north of Iron River, and it is sur
rounded by several shipping mines.
1t has been fully explored with
diamond drills, and large tonnage
of excellent ore proven up. Shaft
sinking will be started this coming
week; and the property will soon
be shipper, as the overburden is
only $50 feet.
The Burlington, lying east of the
Purcell, has also been thoroughly
explored and a large body of ex-
cellent ore proven.
The Leroy, located east of Iron
River, is probably the biggest pro-
perty of the new company. Drill
ing has been carried on continu-
ously for the last eight months,
and up to date 1927 feet of it has
been done, showing up large de-
post of iron ore. Two diamond

Power Of Dynamite

1t is the popular impression that
dynamite seeks the line of greatest
resistance. Place a quantity of
black powder on a rock and light
it with fuse. 1t will flash, simply
scorching the stone. Place piece
of dynamite on the same rock, and
the rock will be shattered; hence
the reasoning that dynamite follows
the line of greatest resistance.
Nothing could be further from
the truth, however. The black
powder takes fire and explodes
much more slowly than the dy-
Mantle, so that the elastic air that
incloses it, as it does everything,
gives way gradually and the force
is lost in the atmosphere.
With dynamite the explosion has
been so sudden, the attact on the
air so instantaneous, that for a
fraction of second it actually re-
sists. The force of the dynamite
is so tremendous that it cannot
wait, and it is turned into the rock
which for the instant becomes the
line of least resistance.
An illustration of this may be
seen during a display of lightning.
A fork of it strikes across the sky.
1t packs the air so densely that it
can no longer make rapid progress
in that direction, and it turns aside
to follow the line of least resistance.
It cannot wait for the air to yield.
1t is the same with dynamite
