understandings. II should be cheer

at the thought of impending war with
Germany, to know that war has its
bright side"
Bin Already Drawn Up.
Mrs. Pankhurst was interviewed at
her London home. She was enthusias-
tic over her conference Thursday with
Premier Lloyd-George. On that occa-
sion she said she asked England's
prime minister whether the govern
ment could grant suffrage. and how
soon. Lloyd-George, according to
Mrs. Pankhurst, said he had already
drawn up a partial suffrage bill to
take effect at the earliest possible
minute.
'''I told him." Mrs. Pankhurst said.

WALL ST. MARKET
ScANT INTEREST TAKEN IN
TODAY'S SHORT SESSION
Price Changes Narrow, With
Easier Tendency Evident
Operators Hold OFF for Open
ing of Congress Monday
Trade Journals Report Busi-
ness Throughout Country
Healthy.

NEW YORK, March 3l.-There was
little in today's short session of the
stock market that was fundamentally
different from what had gone before
this week. Interest was only nominal
and business was light. Price changes
were narrow with an easier tendency.
1t is natural that hesitation should
mark the last session previous to the
meeting OF the new Congress. All the
week has Wall Street speculated on
what the President will do. 1t is now
pretty generally understood that the
Executive will urge vigorous action.
Meanwhile ominous rumbles Of dis
contentment continue to come out of
Germany and 1t would cause no great
surprise IL the unrest over there
should do more than rumble in the
near future.
The business outlook in this coun-
try is excellent, according to the
trade journals, with exceptional ac-
tivity in every line. 'The strong po-
sition of finance. commerce, and in
dustry is demonstrated" says Dun's,
''by the stability of the leading mar
kets, and it is noteworthy that i'm
pending foreign events have not les
sened confidence in any quarter"
Bank clearings this week totaled
$5.24S, ,655 .665, an increase of 24-2 per
cent over the same week last year.
New York clearings increased 22.1
per cent.
Railroad earnings for February at
hand include Reading, with loss In
gross for the month OF $500, 1927, and
IN net of S492, 1872, and Norfolk and
Western, loss of S61 ,070 in gross
and of 1921 .O05 in net
The market did little more than
drift, with a tendency to ease OF. A
few of the specialties showed strength
or weakness, as the case may be.
Ohio Cities Gas again was in active
demand at an advance of 3 or 8
points or so. Texas Oil and Amer.
lean Hide and Leather were weak
Steel and copper issues were narrow
ly irregular and quiet The railroad
list was neglected and under some
pressure. Shipping shares were de
pressed by reports of more sinkings
Bonds were more active and firm
Commodities markets and cotton were
strong.
London markets were quiet and
steady. Consols were firmer, selling
above So. The successful sale OF Brit
ish treasury bills impaired strength
TO the new war loan. Gold move
ments today consisted of a shipment
of 5000, 900 to Cuba and $500, 900 tC
Spain. The foreign exchange market
was quiet and with little change save
for a better tone in rates on Rome.

ANTHRAX ACTION NEEDED
Department Of Labor Urges Ener-
aetie Measures.

Much more energetic action than
has ever been taken in this country
will be needed II anthrax. an occu-
pational disease. is to be stamped out,
according to a bulletin issued today
by the Department OF Labor.
Anthrax is primarily a disease of
animals such as cattle and sheep. but
it is transmitted to men in a num-
Der OF industrial pursuits, including
those who handle wool. hides. and
skins. Ii is estimated that one in
Ave cases. and there were 1872 cases
in the registration area last year. is
fatal.
Though foreign countries have
taken precautions for the protection
Of human life, and laws and regula-
tions for suppression OF animal an
thrax have been enacted in all the
large stock raising sections, the pre-
vention OF anthrax among the human
populace has received little attention.

To Begin Work

All indications point to an early
resumption of operations at the
Lucky Boy mine south of the city.
It is understood that Chicago
capital has secured control of the
lease and will begin work as soon
as the weather permits. This
sounds encouraging and will be
welcome news to many in this
vicinity who are of the opinion
that the mine will become paying
proposition. Lack of money to
carry on development work has
been the principal drawback at the
Lucky Boy as it is a foregone fact
that ore exists in that vicinity and
on adjoining properties. Consider
able ore was raised to the surface
in the course of development but
the main body has as yet not been
shown up.
Work will also be resumed on
the Mcdonald forty at Section 80
as soon as the frost leaves the
ground and the water gets away.
The operators have secured a sup
ply of timber for beginning work.
It was the intention last fall to
both strip and mine by shaft.

BURIED SUNDAY
Funeral Of VIM. Walsh Attended
by Many Friends.

The funeral of William Walsh,
who accidentally met his death at
Fort Francis last week, was held
SUNDAY from the Catholic church,
Rev. Father Buh officiating. The
remains arrived here Saturday at
noon and were taken to the Laing
undertaking rooms and prepared
for burial.
The coroner's jury at Fort
Francis which investigated the case
brought in verdict of accidental
death by falling from the bridge to
the ice of the river, a distance of
about SO feet. Money found on
his person besides his watch and
other valuables clearly disproved
the robbery motive at first attri-
buted to the cause of death. It
seems that the unfortunate man had
taken the railroad bridge instead of
the foot bridge between Inter
national Fall and Fort Francis and
had in the darkness made a misstep
and slipped through to his death.
His watch had stopped at 1880
and this is presumed to be the hour
at which the accident happened.
The funeral was large one and
many gathered to pay their last
tribute to a departed friend. Mr..
Walsh was 46 years of age and is
survived by a widow and three
children. Among those who at
tended the funeral from outside
points were Sheriff Hawley of Pine
City, John Hawley of Sandstone
and Miss Nellie Hawley of Mime
apolis all brothers and sister of
Mrs. Walsh. Another sister, Mrs.
S. c. Scott of Hibbing, with Mr..
Scott also attended. The floral
tributes were many and beautiful.
The Modern Woodmen of
Winton attended the funeral in a
body.

Sneak UnderstandinqIy

An instructor in one of our
neighboring schools recently in
lecturing the pupils on plain speech
and writing so 4 to be understood,
spoke as follows:
In promulgating your esoteric
cogitations or articulating your
superficial sentimentalities and
amicable or philosophic observa,
tons, beware of platitudinous
ponderosity.
Let your conversational com
munications possess a clarified
conciseness and a compacted com.
prehensiveness and cogency.
Eschew all conglomerations of
fatulent garrulity and Alterations
Let your extemporaneous decant-
ings and unprecedented ex-
patiations have intelligibility and
veracious vivacity without bombast;
sedulously avoid polysyllabic pro-
fundity, pompous prolixity, YER
bosity, and vapidity.
Yes George. Bring the axe.

Fined $40 and Costs

George Chop who claimed be
was a resident of Biwabik was
picked up by the Oliver police Sun
day on a charge of drunkenness
and tresspass. Monday before
Judge Schaefer he admitted the
charge and was fined $40 and costs
amounting in all to $3.50. Chop
when arrested was handsomely
decorated with I. w. w. buttons
and badges besides carrying all
sorts of red flag literature in his
pockets. He showed his red book
from which it was sem he had paid
his dues up to date. 1t is supposed
he had been in the locations on an
agitation trip and had agitated too
long among the congenial spirits,
both in the flesh and the bottle.

Through the recommendation OF
Congressman c. B. Miller of this
district, Wilton Gianotti of this
city has been appointed to posi-
ton on the Boundary Survey
Work on the boundary between the
U. S. and Canada will be resumed
about June 1.
The survey party under Mr..
Fairchild has been at work fo1
several seasons in establishing true
lines between this country and
Canada and it is estimated the work
will take several further years to
complete. Mr.. Gianotti is to be
congratulated on his appointment.
In recommending the appoint
ment of the young man, Congress
man Miller said: "The fact that
he is graduate from the High
School speaks we'll for his industry,
capacity and ambition. He is the
kind of young man we should
help"

OLIVER CHANGE
Prominent Mining Men Receive
Promotions.

According to reports a change in
the organization plans of the Oliver
Mining company goes into effect
on April 1st. The ranges have
been divided into two districts and
two managers have been named for
the districts. Two of the most
prominent mining men of the state
have been made managers. The
men are Superintendent w. ].
West and M. H. Godfrey.
The western district under M.
H. Godfrey will include the prop
critics from Bull west while the
eastern district under w. J. West
will include everything from Bull
east and including the Vermilion
range mines of the corporation.
Both men will hold the Office of
district managers and will be in
general charge of the work of the
properties. The organization of
the company Will not De anected IN
any other way so far as can be
learned at the present time. This
will be welcome news to the many
friends of Superintendent Trezona
and McCurdy of this city as it is
understood that these men will con-
tinue in their present capacities
only being relieved of a part of
their greater responsibilities by the
district manager.
These two districts include the
largest mining operations in the
industry and neither overshadows
the other in importance. The
western district includes the great
Hull Rust mine, the largest open
pit in the world, many other enor-
nous open pit operations besides
the concentrating plant at Cole
raine, the first of its kind ever
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1917-03-30

at the present time in this regards.
The receipts of the Ely postoffice
are as yet below the $4,000 year
limit but it was thought that per-
haps joint postoffice and forestry
building could be secured.
A committee on membership and
dues will be named by the Presi-
dent to get new members and
collect dues. Considering that the
dues are only 81 per year it is
strange that members should be
backward in the payment of this
small amount. Commercial Clubs
dues in the larger part of neighbor-
ing cities have been placed at $40
per year. Every citizen of Ely
should be member.
President Murphy being absent,
