Lake Lavlna as source of supply
in so far as the supply of water and
its fitness for domestic useis con-

Lake Lavina has never been con-
sidered as source of supply for
Hurley but it was strongly urged at
the meeting Monday evening that
the possibility of Hurley getting its
water there be investigated before
any action on buying the equipment
of the Hurley Water company is
taken. The lake is only a short
distance from the city and the cost
of piping would be nominal. 1t is
owned by the Chequamegon Ice
company. Samples of the water
will be sent to the state laboratory
for analysis, and should it be de-
termiued that the water would not
be suitable for domestic use it is
probable that steps will then be
taken to purchase the interests of

INFLUENZA BAN TO
BE LIFTED TOMORROW
Marked Improvement in Situation
Makes Flu" Ban No Longer Ne
cessary in Hurley.

The influenza ban which has
been in force since Feb. 7 in Hur
ley will be lifted tomorrow. The
usual performances will be given at
the local theatre tomorrow after.
noon and evening, churches will
hold services and Monday morning
schools will open.
The scourge of influeuza is on
the decline in the city and it is
probable that the apex has been
reached. Yesterday DR.. Urquhart
reported that there were but twenty
active cases, and unless new cases
develop today the situation will be
all to the good. At one time there
were fifty-three active cases in the
city Daily the reports of recover
les have been increasing and it is
expected that in couple of weeks
all evidence of the malady will have
disappeared.
Since our last issue conditions in
surroundings towns reached a stage
where it became necessary to enfore
a ban. Quite a number of cases
developed at Saxon and early in
the week the schools there closed
and all public gatherings were for
bidden. One death has been re
ported from Saxon as a result of
influenza-pneumonia. Mrs. Vel
leux, an old resident of the village,
passed away Wednesday.
A ban was also enforced in the
village of Hamilton, where the
malady affected considerable num-
Der of people, number of whom
became i'll with pneumonia. One
death resulted in the village of
Hamilton, that of J P. Diederichs,
who answered the final summons
Thursday afternoon.
In the village of Mercer influenza
was particularly virulent. At one
time there were sixty-three cases
but today many of the patients are
on the road TO recovery. Three
deaths resulted from influenza
pneumonia in Mercer. The plight
of the residents of Mercer, where
there is no resident physician ex.
Cept during the summer months.
was considerably ameliorated with
the appearance of Miss Marie Kier-
nan, who, Immediately following
her appointment as county nurse,
went to Mercer to render aid to the
stricken.
At the meeting of the board of
health in Ironwood Tuesday even
ing it was decided to lift the ban
following a weeks enforcement.
Ironwood schools opened Wednes-
day aud on the same day the
theatres in the city opened their
doors. While there has been an
increase in the number of new cases
reported i'll Ironwood during the
week the number of recoveries has
also been on the gain, with pros
poets that in short time the disease
will have run its course.

ESTIMATED LESS ORE WILL
BE SHIPPED THIS YEAR
Total Tonnage of Ore This Year Esti-
mated $500, 900 Tons Short of
Last Years Mark.

That shipments of iron ore from
the Lake Superior district during
the coming season will be approHi-
mately 10000, 900 tons is the eoti-
mate of Eastern trade authorities.
That tonnage would be $500, 900
tons less than the figures set two
years ago.
1t is estimated that less ore will
be on hand at furnaces and at Lake
Erie docks at the opening of the
shipping season than there was at
the opening of the season of 1919.
Trade authorities express the opin-
ion that the demand for ore will be
just as active this year as it was
in 1919, Judging from general con-
ditions in the iron and steel indus.
try. 1t is also predicted that labor
conditions OH the Minnesota and
Gogebic ranges will be more salts
factory than last year, especially in
view of the return to this country
of numbers of Italians and miners
of other natioaalities now that the
European war is over.
BIG CONTRACTS MADE.
Contracts are estimated to have
been made for at least 10, 900, 900
tons of Minnesota and Gogebic dis
trict iron ore by the leading indie,
pendent operators since the esta-
blishing of prices for the season at
an advance of 81 ton announced a
week ago.
Since the new prices were de
termined, considerable interest has
been aroused by the question as to
how the Lake Superior operators
may expect to compete in the Ilas-
tern Pennsylvania district, says
the Iron Trade Review. The
freight rate from Lake Erie ports
to the Lehigh and Schuylkill val
levs districts is 81 ton with an
additional ceuthandliug charge. aud
to Sparrows Point it is Sl.59 with a
6-cent handling charge addition
plus the dock or storage charge Of
- cents. These rates make the
unit cost of Messabe Bessemer 10
cents and Mesabe non Bessemer
1882 cents in the Lehigh and
Schuylkill valleys, and Mesabe
Bessemer 1907 cents and Mesabe
non Bessener 151z cents at Spar
row Point, as compared with IA l8
cents for Mesabe Bessemer aud 49,
So cents for Mesabe non Bessemer
at valley furnaces. Reports from
the East are to the effect that Swe-
dish ore is being offered at around
16Is cents, and on some of the high
er grades at 1871 cents. Last year

JEWELRY-Buyers Leare
For EurOpeon Markets

Representatives of several large jew
elry houses which are importers of dia-
monds and other precious stones have
left for Europe, while others are max
ing preparations to visit the jewelry
manufacturing and stone-cuttinp CEN
ters abroad with the object of buying
up all the merchandise they possibly
can. The departure of these BUYERS
has been fastened by the serious short
age of high-grade jewelry which has de-
veloped in this country.
Arrangements have been made by a
few jewelers. to 60 the leading cities of
Czacho-Slovakia with view to bring
ing out stocks of merchandise which
accumulated during the war. Large
quantities of scmi-precious stones were
formerly imported from that country,
and, although some consignments are
now being received, the departing buy
ers are of the opinion that through
their appearance in the Slovakian Jew
elry market considerable stocks will be
obtainable
Large jewelry. orders coming from
the South are ascribed by jewelers. to
the popularity Of that section as win
ter resort. The curtalment of Euro
pean tourist travel to a certain extent
has guided to the South many persons
who ordinarily would have gone over
seas. Another reason for this South
ern buying is attributed to the fact
that cotton planters have received high
prices for their product for many
months, which brought prosperity ali
around and stimulated the buying Of
jewelry.
