Royal Entertainers

In the hustle and hustle attend
ant on the Christmas rush last
week the Miner failed to announce
the meeting of the Ely Masons
on the Saturday previous in which
the Tower Masons participated.
The Tower News in speaking of
the affair said:
The members of Vermilion
Lodge No. 1877. A. F. & A. M.
were most royalty entertain ed
Saturday evening in Ely by the
Masonic fraternity of that city.
The local lodge went almost to
member and each speak in the
highest terms of the splendid re-
ception accorded them. The
evening train to Ely was almost a
Masonic one. From train crew to
passengers it was veritable
Masonic special. At least the
special which brought the Masons
home after the banquet and cere-
monies was entirely so. Two
candidates travelled the perilous
route and the Masonic goat"
never was more nicely ridden or
guided oyer its tortuous pathway
The Ely brethren are splendid
hosts and this Masonic gathering
will spread the cement of brotherly
love between the two lodges until
they are one body in mind and
purpose. The refreshments were
served in the 1. o. o. F. hall,
which adjoins the Masonic hall,
and the ladies of the M. E. Aid
society had charge of the affair.
About 100 plates were laid and

Christmas Services

The Finnish Lutheran church,
Rev. Hirvi, pastor, had an elabor-
ate Christmas tree with attendant
services and program in which a
large number of the congregation
participated. Rev. Hirvi made an
address touching on the work of
the Sunday School. Mrs. Hirvi
acted as accompanist for the solos
and choir and also coached the
musical numbers.
Christmas masses were said at
the Catholic church at 7, $50 and
1890 O'Clock. Special music had
been prepared and several solos
were given during the masses.
Rev. Father Buh officiated.
The M. E. church conducted a
special Christmas observance SER
vice with special music and sermon
Rev. B. E. Williams made a most
excellent and very much appreciat-
ed address.
The Presbyterian Sunday School
held a Christmas eve program with
songs and recitations. A Santa

TWO FIRES
Ely Dwellings Saved by Excellent
Work Of Department

A fire at the home of Mrs.
Johanna Hegfors on Third avenue
brought out the department at
about 2:15 on Christmas morning.
The back end of the structure was
found to be ablaze and the entire
house filled with a dense smoke.
Firemen, as soon as possible,
equipped with respirators explored
the several rooms for some of the
family that may have failed to
make their escape but all had
succeeded in getting out in their
night clothes and were safe at the
home of Frank Lindgren across
the avenue. During the search in
the dense smoke thrill was ex-
perienced when sounds similar to
the whimpering of child emanat-
ed from one of the rooms. The
family dog was discovered under a
bed in the stages of asphyxiation.
He was taken into the open where
he soon revived.
Mrs. Hegfors succeeded in max
ing her escape down the stairs but
several children were forced to
climb through window onto the
roof to the adjoining kitchen and
drop to the ground, a distance of
about eight feet. No injuries
were sustained outside of a few
cuts by broken glass. The build
ing was saved. one part being bad
ly damaged while the main struc-
ture was untouched by fire, water
and smoke damaging the furniture
and walls. The estimated damage
was about 5000.
Monday at noon the department
was again called upon to save a
residence, the home of Mrs. Kate
Rova on Harvey street having
caught fire from a stove which had
fired a wood box and from there
spread to the walls, the main part
of the fire being between the inside
and outside walls. No water was
used the fire being squelched by
the chemical company. The
damage here was estimated at
about 5000.
In connection with the first fire,
the services rendered by the new
pump must be commented on.
Five streams were working at one
time and the pressure was even
and uniform throughout the five.
Employees of the plant state that
the pump worked smoothly and
automatically and that absolutely
no trouble was experienced and
that the pump was barely moving
at times to maintain the pressure
on the FIVE streams.

Health Hints

Don't sleep on your left side, for
it causes too great a pressure on
the heart.
Don't sleep on your right side,
for it interferes with the respira-
ton of that lung.
Don't sleep on your stomach, for
that interferes with the respiration
of both lungs and makes breathing
difficult.
Don't sleep on your back, for
the method of getting rest is bad
for the nervous system.
Don't sleep sitting in a chair. for
your body falls into an unnatural
position and you cannot get the
necessary relaxation.
Don't sleep standing up. for you
may topple over and break your
neck.-Exchange.

Manganese that assays as high

ION the Vermilion, Minnesota s
oldest iron range. says the. Duluth
Evening Herald. Manganese ore
of this grade has present value Of
SIS ton.
The credit for the discovery be-
longs to E. T. Campbell of Chi
cago, general traffic manager of the
Erie railroad. Recently Mr.. Camp
bell visited the Consolidated mine
at Mud creek in section S. 62-14
and took away with him samples ot
ore from three iron ore stockpiles.
These he had analyzed by Robert

was amazed to find that one of the
samples contained manganese run.

Mr.. Campbell communicated his

high percentage of manganese con-
tanned only 32-100 of 1 per cent

Many more analyses of the ore
have been made by Hunt & Co.,

Many Grip Sufferers

Physicians report that somewhere
in the neighborhood of 200 cases of
grip are prevalent in this vicinity.
some of the cases are aggravated
while other are mild and the
posessors suffer only few days
while the aggravated cases last all
the way to two weeks.
From the larger cities advices
are that the same condition exists
and that one out of every ten or so
is victim of the malady. Several
cities report considerable fatality
among the old as we'll as the
extreme young. No fatal results
have so far been noticed in this

BIG BONUSES
'$2,0O0,000 to be Distributed
Next Month by Corporation

Duluth employees of the United
States Steel corporation who come
in under the bonus plan of the
organization next month will
probably not feel poor. as many
declared themselves to be last
January because the bonuses dis
tributed were lean and meager saws
the Duluth Herald.
The expectation is, at this time.
that the corporation will have lust
about 100000 to distribute in
the form of bonuses, and the bene-
ficiaries will be officers, heads of
department, superintendent and
other minor officials. This is the
plan carried out universally by the
corporation-to give a percentage
OF its earnings to those whose
energy and efficiency helped make
the big returns possible.
Holders of common stock of
which there are many here, will
also reap rich rewards. Last year
no dividend was declared.
In view of the fact that Duluth
and the Iron ranges form one of
the chief centers of industry con-
trolled by the United States Steel
corporation, the distribution of
bonuses here and hereabouts will
reach in the aggregate very large
proportion of the So 900, 900 to be
given out; and Duluth alone will
fare generously in the output of
wealth. Some of the individuals
receiving the dividend, it is ex-
pected will feel as though some
body had left them a little legacy.
Last January, on account of the
poor business of 1914 and the lean
outlook for 1915, heads of the
Steel corporation Jared very badly
so far as bonuses were concerned.

FOREST FIRES

! In a report just submitted to the
District Forester at Denver, Colo
RADIO, the Supervisor of the Su-
perior National Forest reports that
21 fires were controlled by the
force of rangers and forest guards
under his supervision. during the
past summer. Although the sum-
mer was one of excessive moisture
there were, periods of very dry
weather when fire conditions be-
came very serious. The report
shows that 13 fires originated on
National Forest lands, 4 on pri-
vate lands within the forest
boundaries, 1 which originated
outside of the forest boundary and

Ore Production

The total production of ore in
the United States in 1914, as
shown by the report of the United
States geological survey, was A.
439, 761 tons; the tonnage being
divided as follows: Northeastern
states, 1,563,725; southeastern,
5,707 ,3S1; Lake Superior, 33, 3,629,-
613; Mississippi valley, 37,oO4;
Rocky Mountain, 499, $50; Pacific
slope, 1882.
1t is interesting to note that the
shipments from the Lake Superior
ranges in 1914 as compiled by The
Iron Trade Review were 81, ,72o, ,726
tons, or 800, 1887 tons less than the
tonnage mined, thus indicating
that the difference in the two ton
nages was placed in stock piles.
In 1913, the difference between
production and shipments was
even greater, the production being
81, ,518, ,158 tons, while the ship
ments were 4o. .947 ,116.

to be of the very highest grade.
Several of the biggest steel interests
in the United are said to have been
attracted by this find and to have
had their experts at the mine
securing samples of the ore, both
from the stockpile and the man
ganese veins in the shaft itself.
Mr.. Campbell is so enthusiastic
that he is urging the company not
to wait for the completion of rail-
road spur to the mine but to start
Shipping at once in sleds to the
railroad, six miles away. In a
letter to the company, urging this
course, he says he has consulted
Mr.. Maher, vice president of the
National Car Wheel company,
Cleveland, which uses manganese,
and that Mr.. Maher told him that
manganese ore running 57.72 per
cent has a present value in this
country of SIS, ton.
~Steel experts who have visited
the mine say that the Vermilion
manganese is identical in quality
and structure with Cuban man
ganese ore and is equal in value.
When the manganese ore was
mined it was stockpiled separately.
The mining company was under
the impression that Il was magnetic
iron ore, having little value.
There are ten to fifteen carloads in
this stockpile and several carloads
mixed with iron ore in another
stockpi1e.
The company had no difficulty in
tracing the manganese to the veins
in the mine from which it had
come. Manganese is found on
three levels, the lowest being on
the $40 foot level.
The Consolidated 5Vermilion &
Extension company has just let a
contract to c. w. Ferdenhoff. of
Minneapolis to build a railroad in
to the main shaft aof the Con-
solidated mine from the BURNSIDE
Lake branch of the Duluth & Iron
Range railraad, distance of about
six miles, at a total cost, including
rails and ties, of about SIS, 900.
Work on this road will begin from
both ends next Monday and about
400 men will be employed. The
contract calls for thescompletion of
the line in ninety days.
In the stockpile now there is
$4,000 to 10000 tons of iron ore.
Work at the mine will be resumed
as soon as the railroad spur is
finished, and the company expects
to ship, 100, 900 to $50, 900 tons of
iron, ore, inaddition manganese,
next season.
AS soon as operations are re-
sumed at the mine, efforts will be
made to learn the extent of the
manganese deposits. If the
Quantity is on a par with the quality
of that so far discovered, it is ex-
pected to prove one of the big
strikes of recent years on the Yer
million.

SUBMARINE IS MANS HOBBY
American Everywhere Recognized az
an Expert In That Arm Of
Naval Strength.

Lawrence Y. Spear, who has paid
more attention to the development
of the submarine than any other
man in this country, does not be-
lieve that the battleship is doomed,
but that perfect navy must be
composed of several units, the bat
tleship, battle cruiser, scout cruiser,
torpedo-boat destroyer, submarine,
and many other craft. He is a grad
uate of the Naval academy at An
napolis. In 1900 he was on duty as
experimenting constructor for the
United States navy at the shipyad
of Lewis Nixon at Elizabethport,
where the first small Holland sub
marine was building for the navy
department. Seeing great possibili-
ties in the submarine, he retired
from the navy and became vice-pres-
ident and naval architect of the
Electric Boat company, which owns
the Holland submarine patents. He
has seen the submarine grow from
60 feet to 300 feet, which is the
length of the boat that is to be built
for the United States government,
and the plans for which have largely
come from his work. A large num-
Der of boats from plans made by Mr..
Spear are in service in the navies of
England, Japan, Russia, Canada,
Holland, Austria and Denmark.
