Ore Shipments

Last week opened with conditions
favorable to a good movement OF
ore, fair weather prevailing over the
whole lake region, says the Iron
Trade Review. Shippers were COM
PEELED to charter some outside ton
mage for prompt loading during the
latter part of next week, owing to
arrangement of the lake fleet caused
by continued thick weather, but
contract vessels are now arriving in
sufficient numbers, to take care of
the movement. Dispatch is letting
up all around, however, and vessels
are spending some time inc port.
Cargoes are getting smaller and the
congestion at Buffalo is cutting
quite heavily into tonnage. 1t is
expected that from now on all YES
sells will be busy until navigation
closes. During October last year
the fleet moved 7,01O.219 tons and
the movement will undoubtedly ap-
proximate that during the present
month, though it is not expected
to exceed it.

Occupy New BUILDING

The work of moving the First
National Bank into its new building
was accomplished Saturday and
Sunday. The removal was sue
cessfully effected and the bank was
ready for business in the new place
Monday morning. The building
is one of the handsomest ones in
the city. 1t is constructed of art
brick and with facings of white
stone and is finished on the inter
ior with tile floors in the lobby and
new and modern furniture. A
massive nickel-trimmed vault door
lands to the appearance of the in
stitution. An auxiliary vault also
is supplied besides a vault in the
basement for storage and filing pur-
poses.
Cashier White and his assistant,
A. Sundholm, have been busy since
moving showing the patrons about
the building. They are proud of
their new quarters and have every
reason to be so.

The Lucky B0y.AnderSOn

Supt. Wallbank of the Lucky
Boy-Anderson is making Roadway
with the work of Strengthening out
the shaft on this property A drift
was put in on the 21O foot level
under the vertical shaft and behind
that portion which is inclined. A
raise will now be driven to connect
with the vertical part of the shaft
and it is expected that 20 feet will
connect the two. This will give a
vertical shaft the entire depth.
Sinking will then be done on anoth
er level and drifts run to the ore
body. The work at the mine was
delayed somewhat by trouble with
the boilers but this has been rene

Much Cold Feet

Two braves of the High School
pigskin chasers, in other words,
two members of the football squad
decided that they were miffed or
something, and uncerimoniously
quit Friday evening just On the eve
of the game between Two Harbors
and Ely. The manager of the Ely
team and the High school sports
tried to induce them to reconsider
their decision but to no avail and
the game was funked, much to the
chagrin of a host of admirers and
rooters who had expectations of see
ing good game Saturday. Advertis-
ing matter had been prepared for
the event and the action of the
players put the team in bad both
financially and physically. Wheth-
er it was a case of cold feet or
cussedness remains all the same.
The flunking of the game put the
Ely boys in a hole in the eyes of
their friends. Too bad.

The MCCOnber Mine Forging Ahead

Contractor Larson of the ranges
who has the contract for sinking
the McComber shaft to depth of
fifty feet is making rapid Roadway
with the work. The shaft is a
substantial one 5x12 on the inside
and is being timbered with the best
timber. The McComber has a con-
siderable stockpile raised in the
course of sinking the shaft. AT
present green rock is being en-
countered OH one side of the shaft.
One corner is still in ore. Thirty
feet of ore was gone through in the
sinking and from present appear
ances the ore at this spot dips to
the north
The mine is equipped with good
machinery and boilers and has a
hosting engine, air compressor and
electric light plant besides neces-
sary pumps. The machinery is in
charge of Chas. Larson of this city.
Substantial engine houses and
workshops are at hand and the men
are housed in commodious new
camps. The culinary part of the
work is presided over by Miss
Anderson. A residence has also
been erected for Supt. and Mrs.
Rodgers.
Supt. Rodgers who has charge
of the work feels assured of a large
body of ore on this property. The
structure of the ore on the stock
pile is of the black variety, slightly
magnetic but exceptionally high in
iron content.
After a sufficient depth has been
attained, drifting will be done into
the ore and the extent of the de-
posit ascertained. From all in
dications the McComber will be
heard from in the very near future.
President Cardle and Treasurer
Lewis of the Mutual Iron company
which is doing the exploring of the
property besides other officers of
the concern feel we'll satisfied with
the work being done and results
accomplished.

Same THING Here

Goliah, tall, majestic, grand
wore a forbidding scowl. L am a
wolf" he hollered, and this is
my day to howl" He was the
bully of the place, as history agrees;
whenever people saw his face they
climbed the nearest trees. With
fear the residents were sick, as they
for safety liked; Goliah, fresh
FROM Bitter Greek, just bossed things
as he liked. And so this champion
of champs stood forth in brave ar
ray. I'D like" he said, to cast
my lamps on any chesty jay who
thinks that he can poke my bean
or jolt me in the neck; if such there
be, let him be seen-I'll make of
him a wreck" Then round the
corner David came-a gentle youth
was Dave; too young to make a
fighting game, to young, indeed, to
shave. But in his craw he had of
sand large and goodly store; he
held singer in his hand, bought
at the ten-Cent store. He heard
the proud Goliah's spiel, and said:
Such piflle makes your little
newhew David feel some ffty-seven
aches. Just watch me while l
wing the guy and stop his loud
bazooi" He hit Goliah right in
the eye; the people yelled "Hur-
rool" And even in these hum
drum days such things do often
chance; the braggart brays, and
while he brays he finds his name is
Pance. Walt Mason.

Pay Day Soon

The Indians of the Nett Lake
band scattered about the country
near Tower and Ely will soon enjoy
a pay day. 1t is expected that the
long looked for event will take place
the first part of next month. Last
year every man, woman and child
of the band received SIS and some
families were awarded nearly $500.
This year the payments are expect
to be double that of last year and in
consequence there is rejoicing
among the Indians who will parti-
cipate in the dizzy. Runners have
been sent out to inform the Indians
as to the time they are to assemble
for the distribution

HUNTERS MEET
Steps Taken Towards En|arging
Hunting Territory

A we'll attended meeting of those
interested in the hunting territory
i'll this vicinity was held at the City
Hall Wednesday evening. The
gathering was more in the nature OF
a protest against the action of the
State Game and Fish Commission
in removing from the hunting ter
ritory several of the best big game
townships in this country.
The meeting was presided over
by Judge Jury with F. G. James as
secretary. Ageneral discussion fol-
lowed the calling of the meeting to
order after which committees were
appointed and delegates elected.
The desire of the meeting was
the charging of the big game ter
rltory by eliminating townships s.
IL, 62-11, Gill, 6O-11-12-9-S-7
from the restricted territory and a
petition will be circulated to this
effect. This is in larger part the
territory recently recommended by
the State Game and Fish Commits
sion to be placed in the reserve and

game hunting territory in this
country and practically cutting out
about all the moose country in
close to the city and easily reach

delegates named, Fred B. James
and John A. Harri, will take the
same to St. Paul and put the matter
up to the Commission in the hopes
that the same will be favorably act

Ranger Examinations

Examinations for forest rangers
were conducted in this city Tues
day by Acting Supervisor L. M.
Brownell. Twelve were present
and took the examinations, the
written part of which was conduct
ed in the High School building and

they will be supervised and returns
made known within a reasonable

grounds made more accessible.
The taking out of township Oil
from the reserve would be of untold
benefits. The road to the Stoney
river country passes through this
township and hunters were barred
from passing through with guns
without a permit from the game
commission.
We cannot see why so much ter
ritory should be set apart for game
reserve so close to accessible hunt
ing grounds. The moose and deer
country is getting smaller eachyear
and soon it will be necessary to go
miles out of the way to get to the
hunting territory.

New Telephone Lime

The State Forestry department
under the supervision of Chief A
B. Gibbs of the Burnside Forest
have about completed a telephone
line to the forest. The line con-
meets with the National line and
runs from there to the state forest.
The line was constructed under
difficulties as the country through
which it passes is quite rough and
In places almost inaccessible.
Telephone connections with the

much benefit to the rangers.

School for Wives

A school for wives is the latest

be qualified to spend their husband S

her own hats, artistically, keep il

in social way. DR.. Rowe adds
that the course was suggested to
him by the reflection that IS per
cent of the girls now in school will
marry sooner or later and that they
are being fitted for any vocation
rather than that of matrimony
1t wouldn't be a bad idea to have
such a school in every city and
