COL Hartley's personal organ, then
went to Kansas City where the Daily
Times employed him as police reporter,
in which position he more than made
good. Missing Lake Superior, the re-
porter decided to return to Duluth,
despite offers to increase his wages.
After coming back to Duluth, he
founded weekly paper, first called
the Citizen and then the Hustler. That
paper was sold to Mrs. Akin in March,
1897, and was merged with the Labor
World, giving it legality, in fact.
From the spring of 1897 to about
1916, this candidate Of the commoners
was engaged most of the time in some
branch of the mining business. Min
ing publicity was followed BY brok-
erage of actual properties. Prospect
ing, exploring and actual mining came
next. Practical experience finally
brought employment as an engineer in
field work and in exploration work.
Practical experience covered On
tario from Lake Of the Woods to Sud-
bury, Northern Minnesota and Wis
eonsin. Georgia Joplin, Mo-; Arizona,
} California, Nevada and Colorado. The
| first serious publicity for the Guyana
range was written by Mr.. Morrison in
June, .9O5, and printed in the Duluth
Herald. He was partner in some of
|, the earlier drilling contracts on that
range. Instead Of sticking there for
a million, placer mining in California
was undertaken.
Ill health, a tie-up of capital and
then blighting effects of the European
war almost put the subject of. this
, sketch out Of the running in 1916. In
the spring of 1917, he started the Du-
luth Rip-saw as means of recreation
ana diversion, but finally made it a
permanent undertaking, after seeing
how it struck a popular chord.
