HELPS A LITTLE
St. Louis Comfy Helps State Fund
Amazingly

From st. Louis county alone the
state treasury will be enriched
this year to the amount of approx
mately S4,OOO,OOO. The money
will come from three sources, the
general state tax, the gross earn
ings tax, and mineral royalties.
From the total county valuation
of S314,817 ,268, the state tax of
SOB mills will realize 81 ,583, $50.
The gross earnings of railroads in
St. Louis county will yield to the
state more than 81, 500, 900, and
the states share of royalties from
mineral properties operating in
st. Louis county will run close to
81 100000. This does not include
the revenue derived from the sale
of state lands in St. Louis county
during the year, from which the
state has realized about $50, 900.
State school lands sold in various
parts of Minnesota last year netted
the state more than S1,O5O, 900,
and even more than this sum
is expected to be realized next
year, according to State Auditor
Iverson, who was in Duluth last
week attending the last state land
sale for St. Louis county this
year.

PROFIT SHARING
100000 Employees Have Purchased
Steel Stocks in Il years

Over 10000 employees have avail
ed themselves of the profit sharing
plan of the United States Steel cor
poration in the eleven years in
which it has been in operation
The average price paid for the pre-.
ferred stock from 1908 to 1913 in.
elusive was S9S.32 a share and
subscriptions were received for z
total of 313, 1873 shares with a pre-.
sent market valuation of about
S33, 100000.
Common stock was first Offered
in 1909 and there has been taken a
total of 1O0,965 shares with pre-
sent market valuation of $780,.
900.
1t is the intention of the corpora
ton that its profit sharing plan en-
courages thrift and brings employ
er and employee more closely to-
gether. Many steel workers, who
now regularly subscribe tor thei1
stock allotments, had never saved
up any money until they became
members of the proft-sharine
agreement. Nearly 20 per cent O.
its employees are now stockholders
and are taking a greater interest il
its affairs than if they were simply
wage earners.
Thousands of employees enter the
proft-sharing plan by subscribing
to three shares of preferred
stock, and have subscribed fol
that amount each year for clever
years which gives them a total o.
thirty-three shares. This mean.

Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co. will ship
its last cargo this week and all
other shippers expect to bethrough
bv the end of the week. The Nov
ember movement will therefore be
lighter than was expected, as little
ore was moved during the past
week. This is the earliest closing
the ore trade has experienced III
many years. The total movement
of ore by lake will not be greatly
in excess of that of last year,
though it is expected that the 49,
900 ,OOO-ton mark will be reached.
Steadily diminishing demand for
iron and steel products has result
ed in still further curtailment of
production and many employers
are compelled to reduce their work
ing forces, but are planning to
keep as many as possible employed
throughout the winter and not to
reduce wages unless conditions be-
come much worse than they are at
present. All evidence points to
the fact that stocks are low and
that nothing is being done to re-
plenish them. Hence it seems
certain when general conditions
improve, there will be very active
demand for prompt deliveries of
all kinds of materials. Some pig
iron sellers are showing consider
able nerve in resisting the attempt
of cast iron pipe makers to place
orders for pig iron at low figures.
Careful investigation shows that
there is very little opportunity at
present for foreign makers of iron
and steel products to sell in this
country any considerable tonnage.
Depression continues. in England
and Germany.

PASSED AWAY
John Gianotti, ST. Dies After
Lingering Illness

After being a suffered with cir.
hossis of the liver for several years,
John Gianotti, ST.. passed away
Saturday at his home in this city.
While his death was not altogether
unexpected it nevertheless proved a
shock to his many friends.
He was one of Ely's oldest resi-
dents coming here from Soudan
when the town was practically no.
thing. He embarked in the saloon
business early in the history of the
town and to the credit of the de-
ceased it must be said that his
place of business was conducted on
law abiding and orderly manner
and that during all the time he was
engaged therein not once was it
necessary for him to answer to the
law for infractions of the code.
He was 81 years of age and a
widow, four sons and three daugh-
tiers survive him. Before coming
to Ely Mr.. Gianotti was engaged
in mining at the Soudan mines.
He was united in marriage at Sou
dan and two of his children were
born there.
The funeral took place Monday
morning from the Catholic church
and the cortege that followed the
remains to the cemetery was one of
the longest ever seen in this city.
The l. O. O. F. lodge, The Society
Viterri Emanuele and the Ely Fire
Department of which societies de-
ceased was a member escorted the
remains to their last resting
place.

Forestry Depends on the Public

Progress in forestry depends
more upon what the public permits
than upon what fpresters and
1umbermen perform. 7 This is a
conclusion of the forestry commit
tee, as expressed at the converse
ton congress today.
AS a consequence" the COM
mittee goes on to say, public edu-
cation is of prime Importance, and
the best methods of educating the
public demand special study.
Since no one else has the interest
or the requisite forestry knowledge
foresters and lumbermen must
learn this trade or profession in
addition to their own,
1t is not forests, but the use of
forests, which we seek to perpetu-
ste and therefore to be sound and
convincing education must include
a knowledge of the lumber bust
ness"
In presenting some of the edu-
cational devices the committee
commended particularly the book
lets gotten out by various forest fire
protective associations. Another
device is a paper drinking cup to
be folded by children, each fold
telling a pictured story of the
growth of a forest fire, and of the
evils of its effects. Still another i:
a match box legend which points
out that while a match has a head
it cannot think for itself, but is
dependent on the thought of the
user to keep it from doing harm in
the woods.

MINNESOTA NINTH
This State Produces Over Half Of
Iron Ore Mined in j. s.

Because of its great wealth and
extensive development of iron
ores. Minnesota ranks ninth among
all the States in the value of of its
mineral production. In its output
of iron ore Minnesota far outranks
all other states, and during the
last three years it has contributed
both in quantity and value consid-
erably more than half of the iron
ore produced and marketed in the
United States, according to Edward
w. Parker of the United States
Geological Survey. In 1912 the
total marketed production of iron
ore in the United States was ST.
OH, 614 long tons, valued at S1O7,,
O5O,153, of which Minnesota con-
tributed 34,249,S13 long tons,
valued at Sol, $685. OH. By far the
largest part of the iron produced in
the state is derived from the Mesaba
and Vermilion iron ranges now the
most important iron-producing dis
trict in the world. The Mesaba is
the youngest of the great iron
ranges, the Guyana range, which
has been developed in the last two
or three years, not having attained
notable prominence at the close of
1912, in which year its production
amounted to 369,739 long tons.
The Mesaba range was opened in
1892, and yielded a production in
that year of less than 10000 tons.
In 1895 it yielded nearly 1000, 900
tons; in 1902 it produced over 49,
OOO,0 tons, or nearly half of the
total output of the Lake Superior
iron ore. The Mesaba range
reached its highest producing point
in 1912, with an output of 81, Co.,
756 long tons.
Exclusive of the iron ore the
value of the mineral products
of Minnesota in 1912 was 81, S67,-
712. Of this less important pro-
ducts the principal items are from
the quarries and clay pits, which
yield products of almost equal
value. In 1911 the clay products,
exclusive of pottery, were valued
at 81 Oil ,O4O, and the stone out
put at 81 ,S45, 746.
The total value of the mineral
products in Minnesota in 1912 was
500, 672 ,729, against S53,395, 1881
in 1911, an increase of S13, 276,-
84S.

Petition Circulated

Several taxpayers have circulated
petition this week asking the
Board of District No. II to call a
special election soon to vote on the
proposition of issuing bonds to the
amount of SIPS 900 for the purpose
of erecting new school buildings.
The district is very much in need
of another large and commodious
building and while we are about it,
one should be built to meet the
needs for some time and preclude
the possibility of building another
for some time.

The body of Carl Anderson a IS
year old Tower boy was found in
the woods Tuesday with a bullet
hole in the head. The body was
discovered by a searching party
who had gone out to look for the

Tower. The supposition is that
he was shot in mistake for a deer
by some hunter who decamped
after the deed.

Fine and long continued weather
conditions have enabled the con-
tractors for building the new steel
and concrete dock for the Duluth
Missabe & Northern road in Du-
luth, to be known as No. S dock,
to make progress considerably in
excess of original estimates, The
foundation to the dock is now COM
pleted. The American Bridge
company is erecting the super
structure, and building the ap-
proach, and this company is far in
advance of estimates for this date,
made at the beginning of work.
President w. A. McGonagle of the
Missabe road says that it is now
probable that a part of the dock
will be ready to go in commission
during the latter part of 1914.
Originally it was expected that the
dock would not be ready to receive
any ore before the spring of 1915.
