DIAMOND BIT
LOST IN MINE
NEAR GILBERT
Broken Barrel Core Leaves Gems
of Value of $459 at Bottom
Of 1OO-Fo0t Hole.

A broken barrel core resulting dur
ing drilling operations being conduct
ed by drills of the United States Steel
corporation proving the ore body at
the Gilbert mine, near Gilbert has left
black diamonds of the value Of $3.50
at the bottom of hole more than 100
feet deep.
To recover them larger drill is
employed, boring in the same hole
made by the first drill. The drill op-
eratives are confident the bit will be
regained.
Black diamonds are frequently lost
in this manner in exploration work by
drilling concerns. Some few years
ago a bit was broken off In a mine
near Ely whore black diamonds Of the
value Of more than $1,000 were lost
which have never been recovered. In
this case the barrel core Of the drill
shattered while the drills were work
ing at distance Of several hundred
feet from the surface.

War IS RESULT
0FCAPlTALISM;
KIRKPATRICK
New York Lecturer Here Sees
No Peace Until Socialism
Is Realized.

So long as there is a capitalist
party, just so long will there be war!
This was the pith of the talk given at
the Socialist Opera house by George
R. Kirkpatrick of New York last eve
ming. Mr.. Kirkpatrick stated that
when socialism comes into it's own
war will cease, as war and socialism
are not allies. Matt Niemi, bookkeep-
er at the Working Peoples store, in
troduced Mr.. Kirkpatrick to large
crowd which filled the Socialist Opera
hall on Walnut street.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick's subject was "The
Iron Fist" He traced the origin Of
he working class; the origin of the
ruling class and explained the origin
If war as the result of the continually
increasing antagonism between the
two classes. He described the des-
tructive machinery Of war.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick is the author of the
look "War, What For" and is on his
way to the Pacific coast. He is book
I'd to lecture at number of cities on
he way. Mr.. Kirkpatrick spoke at
Duluth Tuesday. From here he went

'ure. He left this morning on the

way tralp>at 1880.
We'll pleased with his reception
While here Mr.. Kirkpatrick was loath

'onger visit and hopes to be back
again.
The Socialist band played several
elections on the main streets before
the lecture.

STATE FAIR IS
MONEY MAKER

The Minnesota state fair, according
to the annual report of Secretary J
C. Simpson to the agricultural society
has been the most profitable institu.
tion in the state, as far as returns on
money actually invested are concern
ed.
I'm the thirty-one years of it's ex-
istence at Hamline" says Mr.. Simp-
son, "the state fair has not only SER
we'd as one of the most active educa-
tional institutions in Minnesota but
it has operated at no expense what
ever to the state. Indeed it has act
ually paid back in property value one
dollar and seventy cents for every dol
lar the state has put into it. I sub
NIT to all fair minded men that this
cannot be paralleled by any other edu-
cational institution in the world"
The profit on the 1914 state fair
amounted to $12,237 according to the
r.port. AS far as can be ascertained,
the Minnesota state fair and five
others were the only ones out Of
about sixty fairs in the country that
more than cleared expenses. AS far
as can be learned it was the only fair
that has an attendance of over 300,-
900. Had it not been for cold and
rainy weather the attendance would
have been much larger.
The report presents an earnest plea
for a livestock barn and additions to
several buildings on the grounds. The
rate of depreciation on old buildings
is so high, and the development of the
fair so rapid because of the demands
for new educational features, that it
is Impossible for the fair to make
enough to put up new buildings. AS
a result, although the buildings are
. badly needed, they cannot be built un-
less an appropriation is made by the
2 present legislature.
The total value Of all propertv a,
the fair is placed at $1,729,212.oo.

Not a single accident occurred in
the mines of the Virginia district
during the past month. This interest
ing fact is developed in the reports

being taken in safety first work by

the Virginia district there are at
present employed more miners than in

are received the horrors Of yesterdays
earthquake are increased, threatening
to place it In the list of similar catas-
tropics in Europe second only to that
of the Messina disaster in 1908.
The list Of the dead, dieing and in
jured has increased from relatively
small figure last night to $4,000. Ac-
cording to the official announcement
the number 10 expected to grow be-
fore the day is over.
The full extent of the property dam
age can not be determined. Here, in
Rome, priceless statues and century,
old buildings for years the Mecca of
visitors, have been destroyed or in
jured.
The area of the disturbance greatly
exceeds the Messina earthquake. It
covers the whole central portion Of
Italy, extending from Naples on the
south to Ferrara on the north.
The most disastrous disturbance
seems to have centered in the town Of
Avezzano, where $4,000 persons have
been killed or injured, according to
the official report. Reports Of dam
age in varying degrees Of severity
come from Latium, Abruzzi, Umbria,
The Marches, Tuscany, Aezlia, Cam
pania and Apulia. Relief measures
for the thousands who succeeded in es-
Gaping from the ruins of their homes
are going forward speedily. Special
trains have been dispatched carrying
physicians and nurses. Government
officials have been ordered to provide
all the necessities for the stricken
people.
King Victor Emanuel, despite the
protests Of government officials, who
urged the international situation as q
reason for his remaining in Rome,
has left for the vicinity of Avezzano to
do what he can by his presence to
stimulate the relief work.
Relief committees have been or
ganized in each locality. All are under
the supervision Of Premier Salandra.
Soldiers have been rushed to the scene
to aid in the work Of establishing COL:
onies for the homeless.
