BABBITT HEADWAY.

The Mesabi Iron Company, which,
is building large plant at Babbitt,
for the treatment of the low grade
magnetic iron ores of the Eastern
Mesabi range is making good progress
in the work of construction, and has
been favored for the past 40 days
with uncommonly pleasant weather
for this time of the year says Skill
lng's Mining Review.
The plant at Babbitt is now about
40 per cent completed, and will be
ready to 60 in commission late next
spring This estimate contemplates
no unexpected delays on account of
very severe weather, or lack of labor
supply.
Boilers are in place, stokers set,
superheaters in, condensers on the
foundations, structural steel erected
over the power plant, and coal bunk
ers pretty well alorg. The work Of
pouring concrete is nearly completed,
at least as far as foundations, walls
and out-of-door work is concerned. .

nights clear and glorious. Camping,

PAVLOWA AT DULUTH.

The announcement that Anna Paw

9th gives promise of delightful en-
tertainment and many from this city

BOB SLEIGH LAW.

There has been considerable dis
cussion regarding the new sleigh law
which goes into effect the first of the
year in the state. Some mistaken
ideas as regards the act have become
general, it having been the familiar
impression that all sleighs were to be
made standard width after the date
given. The matter was submitted to
the Attorney General and this is his
answer:
"The law referred to by you, which
goes into effect January 1st, 1921,
prohibits after january 1st, 1921, the
use upon the public highways of the
state all Newly Purchased or First
Hand Sleighs, the runners of which
measure less than four feet six inches
from center to center; after said first
day of January, 1921, the owner Of
sleigh which was purchased from a
dealer or manufacturer prior to that
date, or which has been used prior to
January 1st, 1921, so as to be sec
ond hand and not new or first hand
sleigh, may lawfully be used upon the
highways of the state, though the
runners thereof are less than four
feet six inches from center to center.
So too, one owning second hand
sleigh, the runners of which are less
than four feet six inches from center
to center may lawfully sell the same
to another, and such purchaser may
lawfully use the same upon the public
highways of the state after said first
day of January, 1921. The law does
not prohibit the use of old sleighs, but
merely prohibits the sale or use after
January 1st, 1921 of new sleighs, the
runners of which are less than four
feet six inches from center to center,
the purpose of the act being to grad
ually eliminate from use upon the
highways Of this state sleighs of a
width less than four feet six inches
from center to renter."

TOURIST TRAVEL
BIG THIS YEAR.
INTERESTING FIGURES SHOW.
ING EXTENT OF TOURIST
BUSINESS IN THE STATE.

Recently when Mr. Donovan of the
Ten Thousand Lakes of Minnesota
Association was in the city on bust
ness for the association, he left with
the Miner some statistics which mean
considerable to this section of the
state and go to show that the work
done by the Association for the state
has been fruitful in results. Mr..
Donovan also paid high compliment
to the Ely Commercial Club, the club
of this city being one Of the first to
interest itself in the work of the or.
ganizationin the belief that concerted
action of all the civic and commercial
bodies through common center and
for common cause would accomp-
lish much.
Figures gathered from hotel reg
listers show the tourist business for
the past four years. These figures
show only the tourists coming in
from other states and not the local
travellers. The increase in the busi-
ness is shown for the years from 1917
to 1920, both years inclusive. In
]917 it is shown that 14OO tourists
entered the state and that they spent
100000. In 1918 the travel had in
creased to 1000 tourists and they
spent $l,410,000. In 1919, 10,50O
tourists were in the state and spent
$5,140,000. In 1920, 218,OOO tour
lists from other states visited US and
brought in $10,30O,OOO. This was
all done by the comprehensive system
of advertising done by the Lakes
Association and the affiliating clubs
of the state.
Minnesota spent last year the sum
of $4,000 in advertising and in
creased it's tourist business 90 pei
cent. Florida spent $4,000 in
advertising and increased its tourist
travel l9 per cent. Colorado spent
$460,000 with an increase of 1O.40
per cent. Maine spent 1885, 900 and
increased z per cent. California
spent the banner advertising fund of
$1,750,000 and increased it's business
Is per cent. These figures go to
show that Minnesota got along very
famously on it's expenditure with
80 per cent increase.
The Association received 25O aves-
age daily inquiries from the United
States and foreign countries as the
result of the national advertising.
This was an increase of 80 per cent
