Tests were made on sample of
about two tons Of magnetic ore,
at the University Of Minnesota
experiment station in Minneapo-
lis. Ore was taken from the
dump pile at No. l shaft of White
Iron Mining company property,
located in section 2, 62-12, about
two miles south of this city, on
the Vermilion iron range. Mag
netic logwasher test of crude ore
running 21.59 percent iron pro-
duced a concentrate running
GAS percent in iron. Crude ore
assayed from 21.59 per cent iron
to higher contents. Tests were
made during the month of Au-
gust, and the test showed that it
was possible to treat the low
grade ores most advantageously
These samples were picked from
the most lean appearing speci
mems on the rock dump and not
from the picked ore on another
Ipile. There are strong prospects
of the installation of concentra.
tor on the White Iron property.

Peter Norm, chef at the LaRue
exploration camps on Armstrong
Bay, was in the city Saturday for
IA visit with Mrs. NORM. He re-
ports that twelve men are now
employed at this property and
that the miners are still in the
ore body. 1t was expected that
at any time now the miners would
have the air shaft through to the
surface. This will help to hurry
the work along as is will ventilate
the workings after blasting. The
stockpile is growing daily and the
prospects Of a railroad are look
ing brighter every day. A large
body Of ore has been opened up
and is in sight and is of the finest
quality. But little doubt now re-
mains but that the LaRue mine
will be shipper in 1917.-Tower
News.
1t is also understood that a
crew of D. & I. r. surveyors and
engineers have been at the mine
the past week laying out route
for the building of the railroad to
the property. The road will be a
branch from the Consolidated
Vermilion line running from the
Robinson lake spur.

Some Game

The scorekeeper In the football
contest between the Tower In
dians and the local High School
team Saturday suffered with the
writer's cramp after his work was
completed and the whistle blew
for the wind-up. The score stood
131 to 0. At no time was there
any chance for the Indians.
Next Saturday the local High
School boys will try conclusions
with the Eveleth High School
team and good and snappy game
will in all probability result as the
Eveleth contingent are reputed as
exceptionally strong and know
our boys are not so slow.
The City team which was sched-
uled for game with Gilbert Sum
day was forced to cancel the date,
fact to be regretted.

Be Sure and Vote

Failure to vote for an amend
ment to the State Constitution is
the same as voting against it.
That is why the voters Of Min
nesota should inform themselves
on the amendments to be voted on
at the election November 7th. The
man who passes the amendments
by because he does not under
stand them is blindly voting
against them and he may be DO

Importance to every citizen Of the

of roads and bitches and the

tuberculosis Workers Unite

tuberculosis workers from all
parts of the state gathered at the
Radisson Hotel, Minneapolis, last
week after the public health meet
ings were over and founded a new
organization. The object Of the
new organization is ''to promote
the efficiency of the Minnesota
Sanatoria.
Over 100 tuberculosis workers
attended the organization and the
banquet meeting. This number
was about equally divided be-
tween the members of the local
boards, visiting nurses and SAM
forum superintendent and their
assistants. Thirty-two counties of
the state are represented in this
organization and they comprise
over 60 per cent of the popula-
ton of the state. Anyone inter
ested in tuberculosis is eligible to
membership; either active or as
sociate, in this organization.
DR.. A. T. Laird of Nopeming,
the ST. Louis County Sanitorium,
was chosen chairman of the or
ganization; DR.. Geo. w. Beach,
superintendent of the State SAM
torium, was chosen vice chair
man; DR.. I. j. Murphy, executive
secretary of the Minnesota Public
Health Association, was chosen
secretary-treasurer Of the organi-
cation. The organization will be
known as the Sanitorium Section
|of the Minnesota Public Health
Association.

The CHARTER
Document Being Published In
the Miner.

On the inside pages of this issue
and also for several other issues
will be found the Proposed Char
ter of the City of Ely" as prepared
by the charter commission appoint
ed some time ago by the judges of
the District Court.
The commission worked hard
and faithfully and we must say
have prepared a code of which they
can feel justly proud. The docu-
ment is in such shape as to allow
the conducting of city affairs to the
benefit of the taxpayers and the
citizens generally in manner
beneftting the best city of its size
in the northwest. The new docu-
ment is a radical departure from
the provisions of the old charter
and is calculated to furnish a basis
upon which legislation can be en-
acted from year to year and thus
keep in step with the rapid growth
of the city.
The new charter will make it
possible for the city council to con-
duct the affairs of the city in a
modern, business-like manner, a
thing impossible under the city
code now in operation. The old
charter was a good one in its time
but outlived its usefulness several
years ago. Today, the council is
handicapped under the old docu-
ment in such a manner as to
seriously conflict with the state
laws and also seriously curtail the
efficiency of the governing body in
the conduct of city affairs.
The commission is in hopes that
the citizens will carefully read over
the new charter and note the bene-
fetal provisions. There probably
are spots that will bear talking over
and it is to be hoped that points
will be brought up and discussed
The commission and each member
thereof is prepared to discuss GER
tain points with anyone wishing
information. A talking over may
set things right.
There is one thing certain. The
city will have no workable charter
unless a beginning is made and
under the new document changes
can be yearly made in case spots
are discovered that need fixing
Amendments are provided for and
with basis established something
can be done.
Vote, YES, on the proposition.

BIRTH OF A NATION
Educational Features Commend.
cd by Prominent People

AS an educational medium, Mr..
Gritfith's wonderful pictorial
dramatic work, 1.-The Birth of a
Nation" can hardly be rated
high enough. The celebrated DR..
Parkhurst, Of New York, says of
1t that boy can learn more real,
vital United States history in a
single evening from it than dur
ing three months IN the class
room.
Dr.F.E. Spaulding, superintend-
ent of the Minneapolis city
schools, said, 81 most heartily ap-
prove of The Birth of a Ma
tion' and its wonderful educa-
tlonal value cannot be over esti-
mated. 1t is the most wonderful
and instructive pictorial lesson in
the history of the nation I have
ever seen. To the youthful and
the student mind The Birth of
a Nation is singularly intense
and impressive; to the adult mind
the spectacle is both entertaining
and enjoyable. l appreciated ev-
cry moment of the picture. 1t
should be seen by all.
Perhaps the most forcible ar
gument in favor of it's educational
value was demonstrated lately by
the school board of the city of
Chicago. AS the film was COM
PEELED to show in that city under
protest, the censor board ruled
that no person under 81 years of
age should be allowed to witness
it. After seeing it the Public
School authorities insisted that
the ban be removed, so that every
child in the city be afforded the
privilege of seeing it and profit
ing by its wondrous lesson.

AMENDME
Note the Constitutional Amend.
ments and Vote on Them.

On page two of this issue will be
found the text of the proposed
amendments to the Constitution of
the State and notes of their effect
as prepared by Attorney General
Lyndon E. Smith.
It is to be hoped that the amend
ments will be carefully considered
and voted upon. A vote is neces-
sary to carry each and every one of
the measures. A failure to vote
will act as vote against by reason
of a percentage of the total vote
cast being necessary to carry.
A particular effort is being put
forth in the northern part of the
state to carry Amendment No. 1,
this being one of the most benefc-
ialmeasures ever brought out for the
development of the large areas of
unsettled lands in this section of
the state. All the other amend
ments are worthy of your consider
alton.

The amendment does not con-
template any ultimate expendi-

for the revolving fund exists no

Only $25O,OOO can be used; it will
be returned by the purchasers of

until the state land is sold.

EXPLAINS WHY men
ARE GROWING BALD

Thousands of men are growing bald
every day and don't know the reason
why. Many of them never expect to
save even what hair is left.
This is indeed pity, says specialist
because badness usually comes from
carelessness and anyone who gives the
scalp little attention should always
have an abundance of good healthy
hair. Dust and dirt help to cause bald
ness by clogging the pores in the scalp
and giving the dandruff germs fertile
ground for breeding.
The treat ment is very simple. Sham
poo at least once in ten days and deg
troy the dandruff germs by applying
frequently Partisan Sage, q delightful
ly efficient preparation that Fisher
Bros, is now recommending as the
surest treatment to stop falling hair, tc
remove dahdruff and to refresh and in
vigorate the hair roots.
The cost of generous bottle of
Partisan Sage is very little and drug
gists everywhere have been authorized
to offer it with guarantee of perfect
satisfaction or money returned. ADV.
