MRS. PENG|[LY DEAD
Former Ely Resident Dies at Du-
|uth Saturday

Mrs. Jennie Pengilly, widow of
Supt. John Pengilly formerly in
charge of the Oliver Mining COM
pany's interests on this range. died
at St. Mary's hospital in Duluth
Saturday morning following an
illness of only two weeks. Heart
failure was given as the cause of
death.
Mrs. Pengilly has of late made
her home in Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, and several weeks ago came
east to visit relatives. She was on
visit with her nephew, Leonard
Mcnamara, Of Duluth when taken
suddenly i'll. After her Duluth
visit she was to come to Ely to
spend ssme time with her sister,
Miss Mary Canning.
The funeral was held Monday
morning from the Sacred Heart
Cathedral at Duluth and the
remains were laid at rest in Calvary
cemetery. She is survived by her
daughter, Mrs. Carl Harkrader of
St. Paul, two sisters. Miss Mary
Canning of this city and Mrs.
Tourville of Seattle, Wash. and
two brothers, M. ]. Canning of
San Francisco and ]. L. Canning
who resides in Montana.
Mrs. Pengilly enjoyed the
acquaintance and the esteem of a
large number of friends on this
range. She was one of the first
settlers of our city coming here
when the Chandler mine was first
opened by Capt. Pengilly. While
a resident of this city she was
always prominent in church work
and her efforts in behalf of the poor
will be remembered by many.
She, with her daughter, removed
from here to Mortified where they
made their home on a farm until
the death of Mr.. Pengilly after
which the farm was sold and the
widow removed to St. Paul and
from there to the California city.
The funeral in Duluth Monday
was attended by large following
of friends who paid a deserved tri-
butte to a kind friend and neighbor.

IRON TRADE SLACK
Foreign Orders Develop Very
Slowly

Financial conditions dominate
the iron trade, whose dullness is
more pronounced than it was a
week ago says the Cleveland Iron
Trade Review. Particularly in the
lull i'll the structural material mar
ket in almost entire absence of buy
ing by the railroads, is the tight
ness of the money market reflected .
Numerous important building pro-
jects have been indefinitely delayed
including the terminal station of
the Public Service Corporation at
Newark, N. j., requiring 5000
tons of steel, which had been
awarded. The carrying out of this
project has been stopped temporar-
lily by the insurance company,
which is depended upon to finance
it.
In spite of the very slack demand
for nearly all kinds of iron and
steel products, quotations are be-
ing strictly maintained on account
of the expectation of greatly i'm
proved business at later date.
Prices have not been tested, how
ever, and concessions are likely to
be made unless the demand inn
proves soon.
The ferro-manganese situation
has been greatly relieved by the
news that considerable tonnages
are now afloat enroute to this coun-
try and by sales made by the
United States Steel Corporation at
SS5. A round tonnage of Cuban
manganese ore is being offered for
sale at Philadelphia.
The dullness in steel making
pig irons has been relieved some
what by the appearance of the
Lukens Iron & Steel Co., in the
market for an inquiry for from 30,-
900 to 10000 tons of basic. 1t
bought about $4,000 tons. An
inquiry has appeared in the east
ern market for 10000 tons of
standard low phosphorus pig iron
for European delivery. The pig
iron market throughout the central
west is very dull. Pig iron pro-
duction last month shows an in
crease of Also tons compared
with July. the total production for
the month being 1896. .483 tons.
The gain was due entirely to the
increased activity of the steel

become barren waste after being
cut over under ordinary conditions,
under those provided for by this
amendment it will become a per-
manently profitable resource. 1t
will be profitable not only for the
state as state, but the people who
inhabit it.
THE idea is just this: Create,
or maintain. large forest areas in
Minnesota, to supply the necessary
raw material, and there will spring
up in varions parts of the state
wood using factories. These will
employ many men, and gather
round them considerable CONNER
cial communities. All of these
people will be consumers of the
products of Minnesota's farms.
The farmers will have more mar
kets at their doors, they will save
transportation charges, they will
get quick returns. All this will
mean prosperity for the farmer,
and prosperity for the farmer in a
great agricultural state means
prosperity for all. +"
Through fire, waste and wanton
destruction, our magnificent pine
forests, the pride of Minnesota,
have been reduced to what we have
left. Millions and millions of dol
lars have been lost through forest
exploitation. Large acres of land.
very rocky in character but once
covered with magnificent pines,
have been reduced to barren wastes.
They are now a burden to the COM
munity and bad advertisement to
the state. Shall we go ahead and
treat our remaining forests accord
ing to this old time policy of des-
truction and exploitation, or shall
we adopt a better method? Our
forests are going fast, and we
should act before it is too late.
The legislature has seen the
urgent need for taking immediate
steps to provide us with them, and
as result of the last session, No.
9, the State Forests Amendment.
will be submitted to popular vote
on November 3rd. This measure
is the most important piece of legis-
lation for the conservation of our
forests ever submitted to the peo-
pie of Minnesota.
1t provides that all those State
Lands which soil survey shows
are unfit for farming, shall be used
as State Forests. Under this rul-
ing, approximately one million acres
of State Lands WHICH soil and
land classification wifi determine
are too rocky for farming will be
managed according to forestry
principles. This will insure us
with permanent forests which
furnish us with timber that is so
essential for our civilization.
No. 9, the State Forests Amend
ment, is cornerstone for a policy
which will always provide us with
forests, and these forests will be
raised on land which is entirely un-
fit for farming and which, if the
forests are destroyed, would other
wise become barren. Let us de-
velop the forests, as well as the
farms, so that all classes of land
may become productive.
The Amendment will be sub
mitted to popular vote on Novem-
Der 3rd. 1t is the 9th Amendment
on the ballot. 1t will create per-
manent Forests Thriving Indus
tries Bigger School Fund and
lower taxes. 1t stands for good
business. Remember this, Novem-
Der 3rd. For your own sake, for
your children s sake and for Mime
sota's sake.

Lost While Hunting

The city whistle was blown con-
tlnuously at intervals Monday in
the hopes of guiding two Italian
miner of Section 80 out of the
woods where they had gone the
day before on hunting expedition.
The Section 80 mine whistle was
also blown. The men found their
way out Monday evening, the
blowing having been heard by
them. While they had spent SO
hours in the bush they were none
the worse for their experience.
