TO PROPOSE CHANGE IN LAW
Senator Burke of Green Bay Will In
troduce Measure to Modify
Widows Pension Law.

Green Bay Modification of the wild
ows' pension law will be proposed in
bill which Senator Timothy Burke of
Green Bay will introduce. The senator
outlined his views on the changes he
believes should be made in the, law.
"a residence of one year in a local
ity should be required of all applicants
for widows pension" said Senator
Burke. "The applicant should prove
she is not the owner of property ana
has no other source of income before
court should grant the petition. I
think. The law is being abused in
some counties now, and if the abuse
continues there will be. a concerted eff
fort to repeal the law, and thus deprive
deserving women of pension"

SEE PROSPECT OF
| NEW ORE REGION
DISTRICT AROUND BLACK RIVER
FALLS MAY BE DEVELOPED
ON LARGE SCALE.
MUCH LAND BEING BOUGHT
Whiteside Mining Company Has Pur
chased Nearly $4,000 Acres
In the Past Five Years-Ore
Found Near Surface.

Black River Fails-According to a
survey recently completed by the State
Geological society and in view of the
activities of mining companies, this
region, it is thought, may develop into
one of the richest iron mining dis
trict in the state.
Five years ago the Whiteside Mining
company of Duluth set diamond drill
to work seven miles east of Black
River Falls. Considerable work was
done, but no one except the owners
and operators ever heard what the re-
suit of the prospecting was. But after
two years this company began buying
land in that section where it had been
drilling, until at the present time it
owns upwards of 10000 acres. When
the Geological society reported indica-
ton of rich iron deposits, the White
side company was forced to come out
in the open, since no one who owned
land in the section would sell it. The
company has paid as high as 500 an
acre for some of it's holdings
Another concern, the Crosby Mining
company, has been purchasing land in
this locality, and still is buying all it
can get AS a consequence of these
two companies buying against each
other the price of mining ground has
in some cases been multiplied ten
times.
Now the Whiteside company is in
stalling machinery to open up mine.
Three car loads of equipment were re
ceived few days ago.
The ore in this region is not of a
high grade. it is said, but it is near
the surface and can be mined at a
cost which is said to make it more
valuable than high grade ore deeply
buried
