NEW TOWN OF TROMMALD.

Edward r. Syverson, the land magi-
clan of Ironton, Mimi, was in Duluth
Wednesday Of this week. He reported
that developments are booming, both
in his new baby town Of Trommald
and in the mines that fairly encircle
it.
Cuyler Adams has drills in ore on
land that adjoins the Trommald
townsite on the South. Ore now is
coming out of the new Joan No. 4
shaft, belonging to Capt. Marcus L.
Fay. The Merritt mine recently made
a shipment Of ore to st. Paul for trans
portation by barge to furnaces in St.
Louis. Che Ferro and Algoma mines
are keeping in the front rank in activ-
ity and production
Mr.. Syverson also reported that ex-
cellent iron ore has been found close
to the north line of lots 1, and 8,
Sec. 8, 46-29,Sthereby satisfying him
that a fine body Of ore exists on those
lots, which belong in fee to the
Frasch-Syverson Iron Land Company.
A building for the Trommald State
Bank has been competed and the
Dover Lumber Company has COM
pleted its yards and put in a good
stock Of building materials.

THE SLUMP IN ZINC.

Producers of zinc ores wonder why
they are not receiving a greater per-
centage of benefit from the rise in
the price of spelter. They are even
Fostering the government to investi-
gate the matter.
One authority claims that the rea-
son can be found in the export statis-
tics. The United States exported
230,557,691 pounds in the ten months
preceding June 80, 1915; it exported
423,474,263 pounds for a correspond.
ing period ending June 80, 1917.
Imports are decreasing, from 163,-
526,191 to 157,286.336 pounds in the
ten-months periods of the fiscal years
1916 and 1917, respectively.
i. The imports have decreased because
the contracts for Australian concen-
trate have been carried out and no
more is likely to come because the
smelling now is being done in Aus
tralia. England now smelts Australian
concentrate, also, with the immedi-
ate effect Of decreasing the demand
for American spelter. American spell,
ter, being produced at a tremendous
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-09-01

rate, in the face Of a sagging Euro
pean demand, must decline in price.
The condition is based on that eternal
and .unyielding LAW. Of supply and de-
mand.
As a result of these conditions, If
they continue long, as seems not at all
unlikely, stocks in zinc mines or
mines producing heavy percentage of
zinc, must eventually decline in value,
if they have not done so already.
The man who was wise enough to
sell stock at SIS some time ago, even
tually stands good show to buy it
back at $40 or SIS or some other fig
ure materially below the peak price.
Zinc ores and spelter have a habit Of
advancing rapidly thereby making
money heavily and quickly. Anyone
who has watched and studied the zinc
and spelter market for q generation,
knows that declines and losses can
come just as quickly and even more
unexpectedly. ..s.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-09-01
WHAT is ORE?

In Technical Paper No. 143 of the
U. S. Bureau of Mines, Prof. Charles
G.. Fulton technically defines ore as
follows, viz:
"An ore is a metalliferous mineral,
or an aggregate of metalliferous min
erals, more or less mixed with gangue,
containing metal of commercial i'm
portance in such quantity that it
may be extracted at a profit by the
application of economic and skillful
methods of mining and treatment"
Prof. Fulton explains that this
definition restricts the term ore to
natural mineral products yielding
metal, and makes only such material
'Ore' from which the metal may be
extracted at profit"
One authority, in discussion of this
definition, commends it, although it's
length adds to the risk of possibility
for mental derailment, but considers
the definition both clear and compre-
hensive.
The idea is further expressed that
many may prefer Prof. Fulton's defin-
ition to that of Mr.. T. A. Richard, viz:
lore is a metal bearing rock that can
be exploited to economic advantage"

WOODLANDS CITIZENS
DEMAND MISS HOUSE
Chronic Critics Secure the Transfer of School Prin-
cipal to Duluth Heights Which Stirs
Leading Patrons to Action.

against Miss House because Of
her ban on booze and cigarettes
at community functions.
It is alleged that the names fin
ally remaining on that petition
represent only six children in at
tendance at the Woodland school
and three of those soon will move
out Of the district, if they have
not already done so.
Mr.. Foster, one member of the
teachers committee for last year,
is represented as saying that he
was not consulted as to the trans
fer and knew nothing about it,
but the Rip-saw has been unable
to see him to secure confirmation
or denial of the report.
The petition asking Miss
Houses retention at the Wood
land school was accompanied and
backed up by strong delegation
Of substantial taxpayers and pa
irons of the Woodland school,
Mr.. E. R. Cobb, recent member of
the board Of education, being
among them.
It looks as if Miss House stands
a good show to retain her old
position. She so desires, as her
established home is in Woodland
and the Duluth Heights assign
ment is highly inconvenient. She
also stands very high in Wood
land and great majority appar-
emily desires her retention.
Director Brewer reported that
an offer of $500 had been made
for the Smithville property and
recommended the sale. To get
the matter before the board, Mr..
Firoved moved that the offer be
accepted. The motion was amend
ed to the effect that bids for pur-
chase be solicited through adj
vertisements and the motion as
amended was adopted. The local
dailies were in error, therefore, in
their report that the offer of $500
was accepted.
The First National Bank of Du-
luth was allotted school bonds in
the sum Of $15o,oQQ, as result Of
a bid of par and accrued inter-
est.

the peninsula between the bay Of La
Paz on the east and Magdalena bay on
the Pacific side.
Old titles and concessions have ham,
pered prospecting and dealing in those
regions in the past. The new consti-
tuition of Mexico has mathematical"
oil land, thereby placing it under the
same rule as metalliferous minerals.
Rights to petroleum have been dis
connected from ordinary surface
rights. The new law is retroactive,
now making it possible to locate claims
wherever indications of oil are found.
These regulations were originally made
to facilitate the easy extraction of
money from the oil-producers on the
East Coast but, incidentally, they also
open the way for adventurous spirits
to explore Lower California, hereto
fore one of the remote regions of the
world.

CANNY SON OF AUSTRIA
DOMINATES M'KINLEY
Mayor Joe Airline Rents Saloon Building to Alien
Enemy BrOther-in-Law and Shows Americans
How to Win Village Election.

having a personal, financial inter-
est.
Mayor Joe is some politician,
too. At the last municipal cleo
ton, although not a judge of
election, he insisted on sticking
right at the polls and, whenever
an innocent Austrian appeared
who could "no spik an write En-
glis''' Mayor Joe marked his
ballot for him. In that respect,
he proved to be every bit as
clever and daring in breaking
the election laws as were Joseph
Sellwood, John Pengilly, and
others, in the pioneer days at
Tower and Ely, when the good old
Minnesota Iron Company bossed
the roost.
Mayor Joe is canny in other
ways. An Austrian is represented
as getting too drunk to register.
The next day, with a great pre-
tense at loyalty and doing his
duty, Mayor Joe complained
against the poor Austrian, with
the result that he now is in the
tolls as a Stacker. Many native
Austrians firmly believe that the
poor Austrian was made drunk
with malice afore-thought.
