persons leave instructions in their wills

catastrophies.

by the United States agricultural de-

states Minnesota has beaten them
all in the production Of corn, oats,
rye and potatoes, and is a close sec

Iron Ore Output Breaks Record.

The quantity of iron ore mined
in the United States in 1913 is esti-
mated by E. f. Burchard, of the
United States Geological Survey, to
have been between $1,000, 900 and go,
100000 long tons. This estimate is
based on preliminary reports from Is
of the largest iron-mining companies,
which represent the principal iron
producing districts and whose COM
bined output is about 81 per cent of
the total iron ore mined in 1912.
The average in output shown by
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1914-01-15

these Is companies was 8 per cent
over that for 1912, and If this in
crease should be maintained by all
the iron companies in the United
States the total output of iron ore
for 1913 should reach SO, 5000 long
tons. At any rate, it appears almost
certain that the former high record
of iron ore mined, 57,0l4, 096 long
tons in 1910, has been surpassed in
1913. The reports received for 1913
showed considerable variation in the
percentage of changes in output COM
pared with 1912, the maximum range
being from a decrease of 36 per cent
to an increase of Sc per cent. These
apparently wide variations were evil
IDENTIFY due to conditions affecting
particular companies rather than to
general or even local conditions of
the iron-mining industry; moreover,
they concerned, for the most part,
the operations of companies whose
production is not sufficiently great
to affect largely the grand total ton
mage.
In the Lake Superior district,
where about IS per cent of the do
nestle iron ore is mined, the in
crease in production correspondent
closely with that for the United
States in general, or about 8 per
cent, thus indicating total pro-
duction for that district of about
so, 100000 long tons, compared with
46, 368,978 tons in 1912. The yea1
1913 is therefore a record year fol
production and shipments in this
district also. The preliminary fig
ures indicate that the shipments OF
Lake Superior ore by water will ex.
coed 400, 100000 long tons, which to-
gether with the all-rail shipments oil
more than 100000 tons, brings the
figures for total shipments of Lake
ore very close to the tonnage of ore
mined and indicates that not much
change has occurred in the stocks
of ore at the mines in the Lake dis
trict. These stocks amounted at the
close of 1912 to about 100000 long
tons of ore.

WILL NOT BE ISSUED.
Greenbush Town Board Has Decided
Not to Issue the John M.
Wiley Railroad Bonds.
Opinion Of Attorney General and Ad-
vice of Union Instrumental
in Boards Decision.

AS predicted in last weeks Union,
the town Of Greenbush voted $4,000
bonds 10 to 40 in John M. Wiley's
paper railroad proposition, but
the supervisors Of the township were
not satisfied with the outcome, and
believing that the Union had given
good advice in the matter, they con-
suited the attorney generals office
and will refuse to issue the bonds.
L.W. Normandin, town clerk, Archie
Taylor and {. w. Thompson, super
yisors of Greenbush town, went to
ST. Paul this week. for the purpose
Of obtaining the advice of the at
torney general and, as a consequence,
fully determined that the issuance
of such bonds would be contrary to
law. They were informed that an
opinion had previously been sent to
M. B. Madison, town clerk of Blue
Hill township, prior to the election
at that place, covering like subject
to that at issue, and that a copy
would be mailed to them. Upon
returning to Princeton Mr.. Norman
din received the following opinion,
which was written in response to
questions from Mr.. Madison. The
opinion is as follows:
December 81, 1913.
Martin 3. Mattson, Esq, Box So,
Princeton, MINI.
| Dear Sir: Your favor of December
3Oth to Attorney General Lyndon A.
Smith has been handed to me for
attention. You enclose certain pa
pers in relation to an attempt being
made to secure bonds. from your
township to aid in the construction
of railroad. The proposition in
questl9n seems :G? to be 81 gned by one
"Chief Engineer in Charge of Loca-
tion.' 1t does not appear that he
is an officer of any railroad company,
or authorized to act for any such
company. I am not familiar with
any law of this state that authorizes
q township to issue bonds for the
purpose stated. There is a law that
permits a town to aid in the con-
struction of railroads by issuing it's
bonds under certain conditions and
exchange such bonds for stock Of the
railroad company
Your attention is called to Sec
tions 2771, 2772, and 2783, G. S.. 1894,
which are too long for me to quote
in their entirety. I am enclosing
you, however, Opinion No. Il, Sc
lected Opinions for May and June
of this department., which in part
answers the questions that you SUBJ
nit. You will notice that the law
contemplates an agreement between
a railroad company" and a town.
Yours truly.
Clifford L. Hilton,
Assistant Attorney General.
In spite of this opinion, which is
plain on its face, Wiley, the promoter
of the alleged railroad, appeared at
Blue Hill on election day and urged
that the bonds be issued, telling the
voters that the proceeding was
strictly in accordance with law, and
holding forth glowing future induce
ments. AS a result the bonds were
voted. 1t was surprise to the
Union that after it had quoted the
law, which set forth clearly that the
bonding Of the town to private
individual would be illegal, the
citizens voted to grant such bonds.
It merely goes to show, however,
what one smooth schemer can ac-
cOmpliSh. ~ "~&t
