THROUGH SHIPPING

The Biwabik mine last week sus-
pended shipping operations, having
finished its complement of tonnage
for the year and steamshovels have
been started stripping. Drills are
working on all sides of Biwabik and
it is forecasted that that section of
the range will be the scene Of much
development work within short time.
Biwabik business men are well pleas
ed with the future outlook for the
town and believe it is destined to
become one of the most important
cities in the Minnesota iron fields.

Intended to Visit Virginia, But
This Part of Itinerary Was Later
Cancelled-George F. Baker and
Prominent New York Capitalists
Members of Party.

James J. Hill and party of friends
including George F. Baker, chairman
of the board of directors of the First
National Bank of New York City,
spent last Sunday on the iron range
on the first leg of their ten days. trip
to the Pacific coast, travelling in Dir.
Hills special train.
The special arrived on the range
about noon and was parked at Hib-
bling, where Mr.. Hill and his party
took waiting automobiles for trip
to the mines in that vicinity. Later
they proceeded as far as Bull, re-
turning to Hibbing, when the special
resumed it's journey to the coast early
Sunday evening.
The party had intended to visit
Virginia and visit the Fay and En-
terprise mines, according to its itin-
erary announced at Duluth, but its
time was so fully occupied on the
other end of the range that the trip
to this section was abandoned.
Mr.. Hill brought George D. Baker
to the range to give him some idea
of the extent and possibilities Of the
Minnesota iron fields. Mr.. Baker al
so has interests here. Among the
properties visited were the Mahoning
and Hull-Rust at Hibbing and the
Monroe-Tener at Chisholm. A. J..
Ordean, president of the First Nation
al bank Of Duluth is one Of the men,
bers Of the party. The party es-
capped interviews on the range and
slipped away without being made to
say what they thought about it all.
Mr.. Hills visit to the range last
Sunday was his first to the mines in
more than a year. Mr.. Baker has
never before been on the Mesaba'

!. WAS ROBBED IN PLACE
Cohen Declares He Is Victim Of
Bold Attempt at Blackmail Enters
Plea Of Not Guilty and Proposes
to Fight the Case-Hearing Is Set
for November 2. - :,

Louis Cohen, pioneer resident Of
Virginia, and proprietor of saloon
on. Chestnut street, alleges his arrest
on charge of selling liquor on Sum-
day, contrary to the state law, on a
warrant sworn out Monday morning
by Victor Carson, an itinerant Polish
laborer, is an attempt at blacknail.
He will fight the charge to which he
entered plea Of not guilty before
Judge Carey Tuesday morning and
may retaliate by swearing out war
rants for Carson and a companion,
charging them with attempted black
mail.
Carson complained to the city at
torney's Office Monday morning that
he had been robbed of a sum of money
at Cohen's place last Sunday night
and said he had purchased beer
there. He insisted on warrant for
Cohen's arrest.
According to Carson's story he
went to Cohen's place and had a
number of drinks and took a room
there for the night. The next morn
ing, he alleges, he was minus a sum
Of money.
Cohen says Carson came to his
place and wanted to rent a room and
on being told the price went away
and did not return. He sold Carson
no liquor he says and the man was
not a guest at his house. Monday
morning Carson and a countryman,
who acted as an interpreter came to
Cohen's saloon and Carson told Cohen
he had been robbed of $23 and want
ed him to make good the sum. Cohen
refused. There was some CONVERSE
ton in Polish between the pair and
Cohen, who understands the language,
says he heard Carson tell the inter-
prefer he would take $11 if he could
not get the $23 first requested. This
also was refused. Carson then
threatened to have Cohen arrested fol
selling liquor on Sunday. Cohen told
him to proceed. He says he will re-
tain an attorney and fight the case.
Carson is an itinerant and it is
doubtful if he will appear on the date
set for the hearing.

Rabbit Developed q New Nall.

About forty-five years ago three
pairs OF enterprising rabbits were in.
troduced into Australia. Today the
increase OF these six immigrants may
be counted by millions. They became
pest to the country. Fortunes have
been spent to exterminate them. Wire
fences many feet nigh and thousands
of miles long have been built to keep
out the invaders
The rabbits had to fight awfu! odds
to live. but they have now outwitted
man. They have developed new
nail-a long nail by which th'y can
retain their hold on the fence while
climbing. With this same nail they
can burrow six or eight inches uader
the netting and thus enter the fields
that mean food and life to them. They
are now laughing at man. Reserve
power has vitalized for these rabbits
latent possibilities. because they did
not tamely accept their condition. but
