Uses of FeIdspar.

The feldspar quaries in the United
States, with the exception of those In
California, are restricted to Of the
eastern seaboard states. Most of
feldspar mined in the eastern state
is of the potash or the soda variety or
a mixture of the two, and these varie-
ties are used in the pottery industry
because after being melted and cooled
they form glass. Feldspar of the
lower grade is used as binder in ma
king emery and corundum wheels, In
manufacturing opalescent glass, as
poultry grit, as a constituent for roof
ing material, and for surfacing con-
crete work. Small quantities of the
purest grades of potash feldspar are
used in the manufacture of artificial
teeth.

Reports from Pine creek indicate
much activity at the Little Pittsburg
which is being developed and equip
ped by the Colonial Mining company,
of which j. d. and Watson Beebe are
the controlling factors. In converse
ton with Watson Beebe II Is learned
that No / tunnel has now been eX-
tended about 80 feet on the big zinc
ore shoot and the only change noted
is an Improvement in the grade OF the
ore and increase in size of the shoot
Mr.. Beebe says there is now consider
able ore that runs SO per cent zinc and
several feet alongside that runs above
80 per cent. The first will be shipped
crude and the latter will be milled in
order to convert it into high grade
shipping product. There Is large
amount Of low grade which will not be
disturbed until permanent milling ia
cilities are provided. The mill that is
now being built will have a capacity
of 200 tons and is designed to handle
only the higher grade ore. The mill is
located about quarter of a mile be-
low No. l tunnel and a wagon road is
being constructed to connect 1t with
the Pine creek road. No tunnel has
been started which will cut the vein
200 feet below No. and will be reach
ed in about 500 feet. Mr.. Beebe states
that a parallel vein has been discov-
cred which shows good lead values or
the surface and which will be cut by
No. 2 tunnel 1t is expected that The
mill will be completed and everything
in readiness 10 begin ore shipments

were but 1918 voters at the last state

received a larger yearly income last

the governor and the justices of the

some of the more timorous members

with in the Tribune Herald of March
26, last:
by its action Wednesday the CHS
holm council put a crimp in the local
baseball team, many of the men that
had been given jobs all winter in an
effort to keep them here for the com
ing season being laid off. This is In
striking contrast to the action of thu
Hibbing council, which this year has

possible in order that the village Of

After a defeat by one of the Other

the error referred to by voting $1,000

DEMOCRATS CONCEDE
HOUSE TO REPUBLICANS
ADMIT INCOMPETENCE IN HAN
DING BIG QUESTIONS OF
GOVERNMENT.

Democratic members of congress in
private conversation with republican
house members, generally concede thai
the next house of representatives will
be republican. They are not making
this admission publicly or with any
expectation that they win be quoted,
But in these days preceding the con-
vening of congress, when members of
both parties meet at luncheon and in
dulge in free and frank discussion of
questions both public and political,
there is little attempt at concealment;
rather there is a general disposition to
be frank, one with another
Many Admit It.
One republican congressman from
the west, who has been in Washington
Just one week, has heard from not less
than 20 democratic members that they
have no expectation of retaining con-
troll of the house of representatives
after March 4, 1917, when the present
congress expires. What is more, dem
ocratic congressman who coneede the
next house to the republicans frankly
admit that their party has made
mess of handling the public business
and has demonstrated rank incompet-
ency in the appropriation and eXpend-
iture of public funds as well as in the
enactment of legislation designed to
provide ample revenue to run the
government.
Declare Wilson Is SAFE.
But while coneeding the house to
the republicans, democratic house
members express the belief that Pres
ident Wilson will be reelected, ano
they also assert that the next senate
will be democratic. They base theil
prediction as regards the president or
Mr.. wilson's popularity and the faci
that he is stronger than his party
They contend the senate will stay
democratic because the republicans u
get control of that branch of congress
must gain 9 seats and elect "a out O
so senators to be chosen next year
Standing of Senate.
OF the 80 senators whose terms eX
pire March 4, 1917, Is are republican,
and II are democrats. OF the II dem
ocrats. 6 some from states of the so
called solid SOUTH" not counting Ar
IONA, Maryland or West Virginia a
Of the solid south. These three state
normally are democratic and some
times are reckoned as a part OF TN
south but the recent election in Mary
land indicates a chance of republica
success there next year, and Yves
Virginia is a state vitality affected b
the tariff and counted on to go repub
lican in 1916.
1t therefore is within the bounds
possibility that the republicans,
they carry the presidential and cor
gressional elections next year, ma
also regain control of the senate, II
the democrats can only count sure
ON rejecting of the II senate
whose terms expire with the preset
congress, and of the 6 halls fro
Missouri, which has been known
the past to send republicans to Il
senate.

IN the average onlooker, who asso-
oiates the terms taxation and repre-
santation" somewhat vaguely with the
poston tea party and let's it go at that,
,hare was nothing about the Harrison
hin in the Minnesota legislature, to
oatch his attention or warrant the
aeht it raised, says the Survey, octo-
her is, 1915. 1t is proposed to restrict
tax levies for municipal purposes Eek
elusive of the support of schools) in
towns of the third and fourth class, to
s25 per capita. The average per cap
ira throughout the state is about one
fifth of that amount.
In the background is a story of abb
sentee ownership with new problem
an its hands, of charges and counter
charges of looting and oppression, in
which the United States Steel corpor-
alton and other mine owners appear as
ntaintiffs and five towns on the Me-
sabi Iron range in Minnesota play the
role of holdup men, of specialists in
town Improvement or of thrifty tax
pavers holding rich corporations to
proper account-all according to the
point of view.
How Do Your Taxes Grow?
In 1914 the average per capita tax
for local purposes in 140 Minnesota
cities and villages was $5.35. In Dull
nth. st. Paul and Minneapolis, cities
of the first class, the per capita taxes
were $1101, $11.20 and $12,52, re-
spectively. The per capita tax in Hib-
bing was $685. Nor is Hibbing a
millionaire colony. 1t is a mining viii
lage of some 10000 population, the
principal industry of which at present
seems to be tax gathering.
During the past decade the taxes
have Increased 81 times as fast as the
population. And the story Of Hibbing
is in essentials the story also of CHS
holm, Bull. Keewatin and Mountain
Iron.
The explanation is simple. The vot-
erS levy the taxes. Inc NOM NolllS
mining corporations own about SO per
cent of the taxable property Some
body who wanted a new sidewalk or
an extra town pump woke up to the
possibilities of the situation Soon
the town pockets were bullying with
gold, which seemed to burn the tradi-
tional holes in them. As the Mesaba
Ore, of Hibbing, remarked editorially
March 81:
1--WE should not overlook the oppor-
tunity presented to us, and you'll no.
tice we are not overlooking It,"
While Hibbing took leading part,
it did not play the game alone. For
some years the five towns carried on
rival village Improvement bees enliy-
ened bv an exhibit of how much open
handed communities can spend when
money comes easily.
Hibbinq InstaIIs Great White Way
Before long. Hibbing had more street
lights on it's "Great White Way" than
Cincinnati, a city of 100000. Eight
ornamental lamp posts, each carrying
five incandescent lights, now illumine
the principal street intersections. II
