A message from Helsingfors,
Finland, of March 30, says: "The

prolonged negotiations have
agreed on the composition of a

Map Agent Indicted

The United States Geological
Survey Of the Department Of the
Interior feels a pride in the ex-
cellence and accuracy of the maps
it makes. 1t therefore objects to
"agents travelling through the
country representing themselves
as employees of the Geological
Survey and selling maps which
are in fact printed by private con-
Germs. This fact was recently dis
covered to his cost by a young
man in Illinois who canvassed a
number of towns with the state
ment that he was employed by
the Geological Survey Bureau,
Department Of Surveys, and that
he was selling official maps. Post
Office inspectors soon determined

nothing to do with the United
States government and that what

Health Notes City Of Ely

There are still quite a number of
measle cases, and an occasional
case of chicken pox. There have
been no cases of small pox dis
covered up to date.
A case of Epidemic Cerebro
Spinal meningitis appeared this
week amongst the school children.
This is not a case of infantile
paralysis, but an entirely different
disease. No case of infantile
paralysis has been brought to our
notice in Ely this year. Cerebro
Spinal meningitis is germ disease
and is mildly contagious. The
patients are always isolated. The
mortality rate was very high until
| the discovery of a serum by DR..
Flexner of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute of New York City. Since the
discovery of this serum and its
use the death rate has been reduc-
ed from about rs per cent to about
rs per cent, varying in different
epidemics. Flexner's serum OBJ
tanned from the State Board of
Health was used in this case. It
is injected into the Spinal men,
branes after the removal of some
spinal fluid by a method called
Lumbar puncture.
The City Water Supply seems
very satisfactory at present, and
another examination will soon be
made by the State Board of Health.
Certain improvements at the plant
have been recommended to the
Mayor and Council and it is prob
able they will be made in due
season.

The grand jury which sat in the
case brought in an indictment of

The public is warned that the

does not send it's employees
throughout the country selling
maps, although any citizen buy
ing these maps at wholesale and
selling them at retail may Of
course make house to house
canvass; but the authenticity of
the maps thus offered for sale can
always be decided by the distinct

FIRE news
Defective FIues More DANGEROUS
Than Gasoline.

Contrary to the general belief,
gasoline is not such a prolific
cause Of fires as some other re-
puted less dangerous articles.
During the past year in Min
nesota there were only 81 fires
directly traceable to gasoline ana
these include two fires from gaso-
line lamps, five from gasoline
torches, "a from gasoline
stoves and sc from gasoline ex-
plosions and the total property
loss from these amounted to $52,-
254, says Robert w. Hargadine,
state hire marshal.
Compare with this the num-
Der OF hres due to defective t1ues,
he says. This cause resulted III
l96 nres and the property loss
was $2U5, 1877, or about tour times
as great as the aggregate loss
from gasoline fires.
Tins is explained by the fact
that people are awake to the dan
gerous possibilities IN can OF gas
ollne but these same people hardly
ever THINK OF their chimney t1ues.
Therefore this department
urges ali people, III the interest OF
proper lire prevention to watch
Tor possible hre hazards, not in
the OBVIOUS, but in the apparently
innocent and perfectly safe
places.
Nearly half a million dollars
worth OF property was destroyed
IN Minnesota last year through
fires starting in adjoining struc-
lures.
That means according to Mr..
Hargadine, that the innocent
bystander" suffers because some
body has fire menace close to
him.
In other words there were 129
adjoining fires reported during the
year and the loss occasioned was
$496,194.
This is another application of
carelessness. Had the person who
owned the adjoining structure
taken proper precautions not only
would he undoubtedly have saved
his own property but that of his
neighbor as well.
The state fire marshal points the
moral which is not only take care
OF your own fire hazard but in
this instance mind your neighbours
business if he won t mind it him
self.
The loss mentioned does not re-
fer to damage done to the prop
erty where the fire started but to
adjoining property. incidentally
if the adjoining property was
properly protected it is probably
safe to assume that it would not
have been destroyed even though
the neighbours fire might have
threatened it.

INITIAL Dividend
Section 80 Mining Co. to Pay
First Dividend In May.

The Section 80 Mining company
will next month pay its initial
dividend, which amount will be
one dollar per share, or ten per
cent, the par value of the shares
being $40 each. The disburse-
ment will be made during the first
week in May to stock of record as
of April 20. There are $4,000
shares of Section 80 Mining out
standing.
During the year 1916 the Sec
ton 80 mine shipped 232,966 tons
Of iron ore, and during the present
year is scheduled to ship $4,000
tons. The 1917 figures include es-
timated shipments to the. Zenith
Furnace company in Duluth. On
March "a there were $4,000 tons
in stockpile at the mine and it is
estimated that there will be co.
600 tons in stockpile May 1, which
is estimated to be the opening of
navigation on the great lakes.
The Section 80 is now developed
to an extent when it may be relied
upon for heavy annual shipments
and is enjoying good prices for it's
product. The property is fine
example of what an independent
iron company may accomplish in
Minnesota iron districts. This
mine is situated on the Vermilion
range.
George A. st. Clair and Alfred
Merritt of Duluth were the mov-
ing spirits in the Section 80 Min
ing company, and they have been
very successful with a property
which was exploited previously
by several different individuals
and companies without success.

fine and PRISON
For Teachers Of Sabotage In
This State.

The 1. w. w. activities in this
part of the state will probably be
curbed by the enactment of the
law passed by the Minnesota senate
Tuesday. The bill makes it a
felony to advocate or teach criminal
syndicalism or sabotage and pro-
vides a punishment of ten years in
prison and a fue of $4,000 for
members or organizations which
advocate or teach these doctrines
and for the participants in any
meeting at which these doctrines
are advocated.
The bill has yet to go to the
house and be signed by Governor
Burnquist.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1917-04-13

The property is a striking ex-
ample of the fact that because one
interest has failed to find mine
that it should not necessarily be
considered worthless for mineral.
The history of the Section 30
property is a romance of absorb
ing interest, beginning many
years ago with the litigation that
ran through all the courts and the
government land departments,
and occupied II years to establish
ownership.
The Section 80 Mining company
will this year ship over 100000
tons more than last year, and with
better prices may be expected to
show much larger earnings, and
much larger dividend to be de-
clared next January. The Mining
Review has long commended that
Section 30 Mining stock has pos
sible value Of $50 share and it
may be expected to command $25
by the end of the present year.
There are numerous independ-
ent iron mining propositions in
Minnesota, representing all three
of the iron districts in this state,
which have much promise of
profit for this year and for years
to come. The consuming interests
are recognizing more clearly than
heretofore that in past years the
mining companies have not been
getting a fair share Of the profits
arising from the iron industry
and are disposed to be more lib
eral. It will tend to encourage
exploration, and investment in
iron propositions and lands.

An Essential of Preparedness

Further proof of the sound economy
involved in raising the salaries of Gov
eminent employees to keep pace with
the action of private concerns is given
by Senator William E. Borah of Idaho.
He attributes the great fighting quail
tiles Of the Germans to the fact that
for the last 40 years their government
has seen to it that there were no pau
pers in the country and that every
man received proper nourishment.
When the call TO arms came it was
by vigorous men eager to
meet the enemy. England, on the
other hand, found that the stamina Of
her fighting men had been so under
mined by long years of poverty, that
the standards for enlistment had TO be
reduced. "You can rot fit man." de-
,lares Senator Borah, "for the duties
and responsibilities Of citizenship in a
great Republic like this upon an in
,ome Of six or seven hundred dollars
, year when he has family 10 rear"

Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio,
is an earnest advocate of the bill pro-
posing the establishment of national
leprosarium. The utter inability Of
local communities to care for lcpers
has been brought forcibly TO the Sen
ator's attention by a case in his own
State. A soldier was sent home who
had contracted the disease in the SER
vice Of the Government, No place
could be found in the State where he
could receive proper attention, and il
was only after Senator Harding's per
sistent application at the Public
Health Service that consent was given
for the man TO enter hospital in the
Canal Zone at Panama. "The Senate
could well Afford" said Senator Hard
ing, "to take up this matter and with
out discussion provide for national
leprosarium." Due largely to Senator
Hardings' plea, the bill received the
unanimous approval Of the Senate.

this bill as covert limitation Of the
food supply of the State. 1t is argued
that many a poor family has been
compelled to resort TO the ponds after
a hard winter for a supply of catfish
to restore their vigor after an cnfcebl-
ing and prolonged diet of salt pork.
II the price of catfish, prior to the
18th of June, is raised TO S. per bull
head, it is not likely that any but the
rich city fisherman will be able to take
advantage of the opportunity to get
hornpout out Of season. The city man
who has tasted catfish as it is grown
in New Hampshire ponds will insist
upon his favorite delicacy as soon as
he comes into the State, and many are
now coming TO New Hampshire in
May to remain even after the first OF
November.
II is, therefore, with sense of deep
responsibility that the fish and game
committee of the House will take up
this measure, and in spite Of the large
number of bills before that committee,
il is certain to receive serious consid-
Grafton. The hornpout has his friends,
and they are legion.
But far different is the attitude tow
ards the red squirrel. Except as an
ornament to stone walls in the sum
mer, no use has been found for the red
squirrel. His gray namesake, thanks
to Levin Chase, was protected by the
last session of the Legislature. Now
comes along Mr.. Kimball of Marlboro
with bill to provide bounty Of five
cents each on red squirrels, claiming
that the animal is a blot in the land
scape, a granary thief and a poodfor-
nothing.

been performed by Republican Repre-

Many claims Of widows are held up at
the Pension Bureau because Of their
inability to furnish record evidence OF
marriage to their soldier husbands
and much injustice has resulted. Mr..
Fuller provides in his bill that when a
woman has been recognized as a mans
wife for a period of twenty years she
shall be considered his lawful widow
when he dies. The prompt and unani-
nous endorsement of the Committee
on Invalid Pensions, is fattering tes-

TO PROTECT BULL-HEADS
Action Sought in New Hampshire
Legislature. Closed Season for
Horn POuts Advocated. Legislation
Affects Cost of Living.

Concord, N. H., Feb. Sin the New
Hampshire Legislature Arthur E.
Davis of Sutton has introduced House
Bill 200, AN Act Protecting a Certain
Variety Of Fish," to wit: the Pimelo-
dus, common catfish, bullhead, horn
pout, bullpout or minister. The bill
which Mr.. Davis has introduced pro-
vides that:
"lf any person shall take from the
waters Of New Hampshire any catfish,
commonly called hornpout or bullhead,
except between the fifteenth day of
June and the first day of November Of
any year, he shall be punished by a
fine Of five dollars 1851 for each fish
so taken"
The adherents Of the Davis bill ar
que that the supply Of hornpout in
New Hampshire is rapidly diminish
ing Formerly it was believed that
the supply was inexhaustible. Time
was when two boys would go off Of an
evening and come home with hun
dred hornpout in couple Of hours.
So Mr.. Davis has come to the rescue.
Lest he should be accused Of a person
al animus let il be said that there is
still good pouting in his own town of
Sutton. But with the other towns it
Is different.
Yet there are dissenting voices. In
