Pioneer Starts Night Shift This
Week People More Confident
ESQ Extra Men Put ON for a
Starter Helps a Whole Lot

For the first time in three years
the midnight whistle at the Pioneer
mine Monday night proclaimed to
the citizens of Ely that the night
shift was again working. The
sound of the whistle was welcome
and helped out the assertion that
Ely, while being one of the most
prosperous cities in the northwest,
would be still better.
Two hundred and fifty men were
put at work extra at the mine and
there are indications that the forces
will be increased as the demand for
ore increases which is rapid. At
the present time the Steel people
are working their varied industries
to over 90 per cent of their capacity
and orders are constantly being in
creased as is also the capacity.
The Ely ores are needed and we
can rest assured that if there is any
demand for ore at all, we will not
be given the go-by.
The whistle sounds good.

VISITORS TO ELY
Prominent Officials Of Steel Cor
pOTdiOn Inspect Mines Here

A special train having on board
the Duluth officials of the Oliver
Iron Mining company, and D. G..
Kerr, vice president of the United
States Steel Corporation and Nc
Gilvray Shiras, ore agent of the
Steel corporation arrived in the
city Tuesday morning and remain
ed until noon.
Under the guidance of Supt.
Trezona and Asst. Supt. McCurdy
of the Oliver mines here. the par ty
inspected the works.
Several improvements were order
ed about the mines and the party left
the impression of an era of pros
perity not seen in the country for
years.
In speaking to a reporter Mr..
Kerr said:
We are shipping more ore than
last year," said Mr.. Kerr. The
total shipment for the present sea-
son will be greater than the gross
tonnage shipped from the Head of
the Lakes year ago. On an esti-
mate it might be stated that we
will ship possibly more than TO-
0O0,O0 tons.
Foreign and domestic demand
for iron ore have resulted in the
increased shipments. The foreign
demand for certain grades of steel
has also increased the output of the
mills"
When asked as to the output of
the United States Steel corpora
tion's mills at the present time,
Mr.. Kerr stated that the mills were
operating at about 90 per cent of
their capacity.
We are making every effort to
complete the Duluth steel plant
this fall. Coal is already being
shipped there. There is no doubt
whatever that the opening of the
plant will mean an increase in
business for the city of Duluth.
While refusing to state that he
felt there was an increase in the
general volume of the business of
the country, Mr.. Kerr did state
that there was distinctly better
feeling prevailing and that the
steel corporation had experienced
a greater demand for steel during
the last two months than in the

The Ely officers of the Union are
George L. Brozich, supreme sec
retary and John Gouze, supreme
treasurer. These gentlemen have
held their respective offices since
the organization was perfected in
this city in 1898. The bylaws of
the organization make it impera-
tive that the headquarters of the
South Slavonic Catholic Union re-
main in this city for all time.
The organization is in excellent
financial condition with assets of
over $16O,OOO and membership of
over 5000. The affairs of the
organization are in the hands of
subordinate officers in 116 lodges
located in almost all states of the
union. The business thus done by
the homa office is of some volume
and requires the services of two
assistants in connection with the
services of Secretary Brozich. Only

this city twenty-six years ago, has
paid out in sick, accident and death

The association is of vast benefit
to the Slovenian miners and

and coal industries of the nation
and also is of much benefit to this
city where the principal part of
the banking business of the as
sociation is conducted.

Why They 0Verturn

When any object running at
high speed, and mechanically driv-

in which it has been traversing,
there is danger of a wreck.
