The striking minors on the Guy
una range, mention of which was
made in our last issue, have made
formal demand in writing to the
companies affected, asking for
straight eight hour day, for time
and half for all over time and
Sunday work, for the abolition of
all contract work, for a minimum
OF $500 per day underground, for
the bearing OF all hospital fees by
the mining companies and that the

90 cents from the pay roll therefor,
The companies, the Inland Steel
Co., Rogers-Brown Ore Co. and the

the demands have informed the me

ON the employees to cooperate with
the employers to the extent of not
trying to impose unreasonable rates
OF wages; that unless the mine op-
orators are put ON thesame plans

place. They further state that if
the employees, after further consid

About one thousand men are al

as yet no hint has been given of a
compromise, and it is unlikely the
new range will make a showing in
the producing class this season.

Good sanitation is important
in that it aids i'm keeping men well

Better sanitary conditions are as

Train Schedules Reaail vaslllgst.

The prpsed change in Great
Northern train service by which the
Merry Widow and the wooden
She" train were to be cut off on
Monday last has been abond0ned
through an appeal from G. G. Hart
ley, OF Duluth, owner Of the beauI.-
full Island farm, who sought the
assistance of the state railway and
warehouse commission in the mat
ter. Had the train been cut off as
per schedule it would have left MIR.
Hartley's farm without express ser
vice, a very important factor.
The commercial clubs of the
range have also expressed th' ir
views to the commission, and it is
unlikely the trains will be entirely
Abandoned, although a change in
the running time may be made to
accommodate the ore traffic. No
change, however, will be premltted
until the commission gives it's con-
sent.

CONDUCTS Development
OF LONGYEAR PROPERTY
Earl n. Richards, Of This City, is Super.
intealoat Of Largest nias On Meap-
niaee Range, Near Crystal Falls.

Earl NJ. Richards, One of the ris-
ing young mining man whose practi
ii experience has i'm great part bee
acquired ON the Mesaba, has recent
! been appointed superintendent
IF the interests of the Nevada Land
.I Iron Co. on the Monomince range
and now conducts the preparatory
development work on the LOngyeaI
.llMNA for that company, the proven
orc body On this new property show
ing upwards of 100000 tons, thu
largest proposit ion ever proven ON
the old range.
The Nevada Land Company is
composed of men of STRONG financi-
III backing, including E. J. Long
year, &. &. Hartley, Joseph Sell
wood, E. +. Bennett and others
whose fortunes have in great part
been amass+d through fortunate
strikes on this range, and all mel
who have had practical experience
in the mining world and their selec-
lion of Mr.. richards was because OF
his known ability and fitness fol
he position.
The Longyrar property has been
under exploration for two years
past six drills being employed
in proving the orc body until recentl
when four more drills were placed
at work to more quickly prove the
vein prior to the sinking of a shaft
and the commencement Of active
development work.
The property is in the Crystal
Falls district, about four mblrS
south OF Amasa, and its opening
will mean much to the future OF
hat city and to the future Of the
old range, as the ol>e lies deep and
all working will be underground
rhc ore is said to be of good
-ra.lc, and railroads already tray
*rse the property, giving transpor-
:at ion facilities. The same com
pany also controls what is known !;
The Porter, !nthe same district, wit
i proven ore body of upwards OF a
million tons Of high grade ore and
tbe opening. Of THIS property in the
neat ftt,4N is salso assured. =,
Mr.. Richards, since coming tc
he Mesaba, has in great part been
ce1rnected with the Higgins estate
locking after those interest en-
Lhis range. but it is understood
his new duties will likely lead hin
lto make his home ON the
Monominee. where he will be neal
his work and give same his person.
ii attention at all times. He
left for Crystal Falls Tuesday
spending, the week in getting th'
opening development work at tn
| new mine properly lined up.
