PIONEER MINER
KILLED BY BLAST.
BLAST AT PIONEER MINE SAT.
URDAY KILLS GEORGE
ZUPANCIc AND IN
JURES JOHN ROM.

After going through several
months without a single accident,
the Pioneer mine on Saturday suf-
fered the loss of man and the
injury of another in a blast.
George Zupancic, miner aged "a
years and single, met instant death
and John Rom, also single, re-
ceived serious injuries to his eyes
and face.
1t seems that Zupancic and part
ner had "spit" three holes. Two
of them were heard to go. The
men, without waiting the accus-
toned time, went into the drift
and had no sooner entered when
the third hole let loose. The ex-
cuse given by the surviving one
of the party was that they thought
they had "spit" only two holes
Zupancic was killed outright, his
head being badly mangled. Rom
was also struck in the head and
sustained injuries to his eyes. He
was taken to Duluth to be placed
in the hands of specialist for
treatment.
The remains of Zupancic were
sent to Gilbert for burial after
being prepared at Laing's under
taking parlors. He was a member
of the. Gilbert branch of the
Jesus" society of the S. S. C.. u.

ROAD BIDS ASKED
ON WINTER WORK.
I'M ORE RK-B TIER
ROADS" MOVEMENT is
STARTED TO CUT
IDIlENESS AND
BUILD HIGH
WAYS,

A call for bids on trunk high
way improvements in nearly 25
widely distributed sections now be-
ing made by Charles M Babcock
state highway commissioner, marks
the start of the more work-bet-
ter roads" movement in Minnesota
Other lists are to be announced
soon, according to John H. Mullen
assistant commissioner and chief
highway engineer, and are being
selected to spread both employment
and road benefits as far as pos
sible.
Special team work is to be or.
dered to help settlers and farmers
in some districts, the highway of.
ficials said, and still other projects
will include grading and bridge
jobs. The first list is estimated
at $1,687 ,000 and is made up OF
26 gravel-surfacing jobs on 274
miles and a single job of % miles
of paving. The present plan is to
use about $4,500,000 on winter
road work.
Several regular 1921 projects
which were postponed because of
delayed federal aid are on the first
list. Others proposed were found
unadapted to winter work and put
over until next year, it was ex-
planned. Bids are to be opened
Nov. 20 and 30-the earliest dates
possible under the state law-and
successful bidders will be an.
noun &C ed promptly. Applications
should then be made to the con-
tractors as the highway department
has no jobs to fill.
Twenty-seven projects are on
the list and they total 299 miles
and the cost estimates aggregate
81 ,687, 900.

FOREIGN IRON
ORE Menace.
LAKE SUPERIOR IRON ORES
CANNOT COMPETE WITH
IMPORTED ORES AT
PRESENT.

For the first time in the history
of the industry pig iron may be
made on the Atlantic coast cheap
err than at Pittsburgh says Skill
hng's Mining Review. That is the
word that comes from reliable
sources in the East, where this
subject is one of the utmost in
terest. 1t is also of the utmost
interest in the Lake Superior re-
gion where are located the iron
mines which are the backbone of
the great iron and steel industry
of the United States.
The reason given for the ability
to make pig iron cheaper on the
Atlantic coast than at Pittsburgh
down on the coast at sufficiently
attractive prices. For example, the
rate to Atlantic ports for African
iron ores is cheaper than the rail
rate from Buffalo to the Eastern
furnaces.
This information should be of
interest to the Minnesota legis-
lature as well as to the mining
and transportation interests. The
competition of foreign iron ores
is a real menace. The Swedish
iron ores are being offered freely,
and Lake Superior iron ores, as
matters of price and freights now
stand, have no chance in the East
ern district. Foreign ores have the
best of Lake Superior iron ores
by from to cents per unit.
One authority reports that for
eign ores, under present condi-
tions, can be made attractive to
consumers as far west as Coates
vile, Pa. The Midvale has a plant
there, and Midvale is interested in
Lake Superior iron ores.
This, in brief, is the situation
at present as regards competition
from foreign iron ores. That the
situation will be met goes without
saying, but it should be met by
concession on the part of all di-
rectly interested. The mining in
terests of the Lake Superior re-
gion must make some profit, the
railroads and the ships must make
some profit and the states which
furnish the ore must derive taxes,
but the concessions should be
reasonable and the burden fairly
divided. 1t is preposterous to think
of foreign ores successfully COM
peting with Lake Superior ores,
which have such advantage as to
geographical location with refer
ence to the furnaces, and cheap
water transportation for most of
the distance

university and farm bureau. The
allotment has been divided among
3,511 farmers in northern cutover
counties, or an average of 222
pounds to the farmer. Approx
mately $4,000 acres will have been
cleared when the allotment to this
state has been used. A large part
of this acreage will be cleared the
present season. The cost of the

Bowling Memorial Fund.

lowing Memorial Fund.
No contributions to the M. j.
Bowling Memorial Building for
Crippled Children Fund were re-
ceived at the Miner office this
week. We will again state that
this is one of the most worthy
objects ever attempted in the state
and will live as lasting memorial
to this man who had the courage
to go through life from childhood
making his own way in the face
of conditions that would have
taken the heart out of the ordinary
mortal. Bowling was caught in a
blizzard when small boy and
lost both hands and foot. Thus
sorely handicapped he made his
way through life, gaining the re-
spect of the people by his in
domitable will power and his de-
termination to be of use in the
world. During the war he was
called to foreign countries to give
the crippled soldiers talks on his
life and give them courage to
carry on in the face of adver-
sites.
The memorial is to be in the
shape of an addition to the State
Hospital for Crippled Children at
Phalen Park, st. Paul, and which
building will be maintained by the
state. At present there are $50
cases being treated there and there
are $50 more in the state needing
treatment. Strange as it may seem.
there are 10 cases right here in
Ely awaiting a chance to get in.
The treatment is free.
Fhe contributions left at this Of
nee Will be sent in to the state
treasurer of the fund and any
amount is welcome. To date the
receipts are as follows:

HER REALLY BRIGHT THOUGHT
Mary Ellen Had Shrewd Scheme for
Making Sick Children Satisfied
With Their Lot.

Little Mary Ellen Mckee is, as she
terms it, ''just half past four" and
lives around the corner from the
Union hospital in Terre Haute, says
the indianapolis News Recently she
received a tricycle., which she riGes
morning, noon and night. At first her
rides were confined to her own street,
but the other day she wished to ride
around the corner.
"But the little sick children at the
hospital will see you, and then they'll
be unhappy because they can't ride,
too," her mother told her.
Mary Ellen was silent a minute.
Then she said earnestly: swell, then,
mother won't ride past the hos
pital When / get in front of it I'll
get off and push it like it was hard
work, and then they won't be unhappy.
They'll be glad they can lie in bed
and not have to push things like tri-
cycles"

Once on a time an automobile con-
Germ asked the post office department
TO try out a certain truck trailer The
car was put in service at post
office and shortly the traffic superin-
tendent asked for a written report
from one of the automobile drivers.
This is the report:
Il has respty used in this run "a
Taller for days in this low down
driveway and is to be in my way and
to have to push and shove it and lift
it around myself in the lie and get
under the end to uncupple it luse and
can't hack it up at all and go ahead
2 doors in backing and getting the
pin thing loss again and the gas
shooting in your face and everybody
holering at you and in my way to get
out"
The report finally reached Washing
ION, was read and fled The trailer
was not accepted.

Contempt, but Not of Court.

When 'Aunty" Dorcas, a typical old
negro nanny, was placed in the wit
ness chair in the Austin (Tex.) police
court the other day she observed
Judge A. L. Love presiding over the
august body. She had been in the
family of Judge Love when he was
a boy. She was peeved at being sum-
moned as a witness and, glancing up,
she recognized the judge.
rs dat your" she shifted contemptu-
ously.
Correct you are, 'aunty," was the
reply.
what you all doin' up there? rs a
good mind to knock you out Of that
chair with stick"
Judge Love took the remark good
naturally, and there was no hint that
the witness was in contempt of court.
