SAID SOMETHING
SAYS FERGUSON.
DULUTH ROTARY PUBLICITY
MAN ADMITS RANGE HAS
BEEN MISUSED.

Under the caption, "He Said Some
thing" Publicity Man Ferguson of
the Duluth Rotary Club printed the
following in 1.-THE Gimlet," the offic-
ial organ of the Duluth Rotary Club,
in commenting on the protest of Ed.
Hatch of Eveleth against Duluth
newspapers playing down" or ignor-
ing range news:
when this here Eddie Hatch rose
on his hind legs Thursday night and
let his chest debate, he spilled a
whole bookful of we'll chosen and
highly charged words, Wen tell the
world.
Eddie knew exactly what he was
talking about and he said it just that
way. For long time it has been
the custom of the people of Duluth to
regard the Range in about the same
light as people think of their back
yards and the alleys that lead to
them. And that particular kind of
a person has forgotten modern prog
ress, puts up a sign on the front of
the house advising those who may be
concerned to Deliver All Goods in
the Rear"
"The Range has not only been on
the receiving end for a lot of good
things but it has also run little de-
livery service of its own. Nesting
down here at the foot of the Big Hill
a whole lot of us haven't really re-
membered that a big part of the ex-
cuse for US existing at all as an en-
lightened community lays way up
there back of the hill-just like Eddie
said.
'The Ranges have been producing
something besides iron ore, though.
1t has been producing a lot of men.
Anybody who wants convincing on
this point need only look at the two
Rotary Clubs that were here Thurs
day and read the record of their ach-
ievement. Or read the newspapers
of the things that Hibbing has been
doing the last week.
IF Duluth wants to function as a
center of Head of the Lakes activity,
it must keep up with the procession.
We haven't pulled off single event
here during the past two years that
compares with Virginia's convention
of the Elks last summer or with the
regular stunts they do at the Audit
orium at Eveleth or Hibbing's Car
.nival last week.
'sThe Range people have the sort
of spirit that gets things for the
people. We want to know and cult
.vate those fellows more. Their in
terests and ours are identical. And
they can teach US a lot Let's get
closer together. Let's see that the
Eveleth hockey team has a place in
the sun--or whatever it wants to
have. And let's boost for it and for
Eveleth and Virginia and all those
places.
That's not only Rotary, but it's
plain horse sense"

BURNSIDE LODGE SOLD.

The Ely-Burntside Outing Com
pany has disposed of its holdings to
w. A. Alden of Minneapolis who has
assumed charge and viii conduct
Burnside Lodge the coming season.
The new owner is very confident of
the possibilities of this popular resort
and is already arranging for modern-
izing the Lodge with the installation
of electric lights, water, etc. We un-
derstand that plans have also been
made for building a lage addition to
the hotel with dancing facilities and
more dining and lounging room. It
is also the intention to construct a
number of new cottages this season
and in every way improve the prop
erty. Mr.. Alden is a progressive
man who sees in this country the
future Playground of a Nation.

STATE LANDS MAY
BE ExPL ORED.
STATE MINERAL LANDS MAY
BE REOPENED FOR
EXPLORATION.

Minnesota mining men are of the
opinion that the bill which is now
before the legislature providing for
the state to again issue permits to
explore state lands for mineral, and
to lease same, will become law, says
Skilling's Mining Review.
This bill provides for a sliding scale
royalty. Crude ore assayiug 25 per
cent metallic iron commands II cents
per ton. Ore assaying 55 per cent
commands a fraction under 50 cents
per ton. Ore assaying 50 per cent
commands S41a cents. The meas
ure apparently is designed to encour-
age the development of low grade
material, which is to be approved.
The theory that all OF the high grade
ore in Minnesota has been discov-
cred seems to be quite generally ac-
cepted at the state capitol.
Exploration of Vermilion range
state lands will hardly be encouraged
by a royalty of S41a cents for G5
per cent crude, at least not by prof
essional explorers, who seek to turn it
over to operating companies. The
sliding scale is expected to encourage
the development of low grade ores.
but if there is to be tonnage tax
law enacted it is quite possible that
the bill re-opening state lands for
exploration and lease will not interest
many. There are number of state
tracts which people have had their
eyes on which will Certainly be ap-
piled for, but what is needed is a con-
dition in the state that will start drills
going on all of the state lands where
iron ore is believed to exist. The pro-
posed law will undoubtedly create
some stir in certain localities and on
certain tracts, but will hardly encour-
age any campaign of exploration of
virgin territory, especially if the ton
mage tax prevails.
The short sighted policy of the
state is the surprise of people famil-
lar with exploration and mining. This
measure to resume exploration and
leasing of state mineral lands is all
right in itself if the state is doing
business direct with the operating
company, but there is not much room
for the explorer, and the operating
company depends, or has depended,
much in the past on the explorer
The big operating companies have
never been conspicuous as pioneers
in developing new territory. 1t is
the explorers who precede them that
take the big chances. The state
should encourage the explorer. 1t
was the explorers who discovered the
ore in every important district. They
discovered the Soudan on the Yer.
milon, the Mountain Iron on the
Mesaba, and the Kennedy on the
Guyana, the first operating mines in
those districts. The Mesaba range
may yet be extended farther to the
West than has been expected. There
is much virgin ground on the Vermil-

SOME GAME IN SIGHT
Ely Team to Take on Fast Two Harbors
Basketball Shooters Next Thursday.

Ely will have a crack at the
Northwestern Basketball title next
Thursday night when our bows play
Two Harbors at the Washington
Auditorium.
Two Harbors is the only team that
has beaten Battery A, Northwest
Champions. The Harbors boys fig
ure they have everything to win and
nothing to lose in playing Ely and
consequently are asking an enormous
guarantee.
To meet this increased guarantee,
we will have to raise the price of adj
mission from soc to 75c for adults
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1921-02-25

ion, and the limits of the Guyana are
as yet unknown,
The bill providing for the reopen
ing state mineral lands for explora-
ton and lease provides also that the
minimum shall be $4,000 per year
when the tract is within two miles of
a railroad. Otherwise the minimum
is $500 per year for period of five
years, or until railroad is built to
within two miles and then $4,000
per year.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1921-02-25

and from 25c to soc for children.
It will also be necessary to. have. ev-
cry seat filed to break even with
these prices and the team asks the
people who have been backing them
so well this year to help by coming
to this game and pulling for a. vic
tory. A victory for Ely in this game
will mean more to the team and the
city than most people realize. It
will be advertising that would go a
long ways.
Let the boys know that you are
behind them so that they will have
an incentive to play the best game
they possibly can.

1t has been learned recently that
the Weyerhauser Lumber Company
of Cloquet, Minn.,, has bought the
holdings of the Swallow & Hopkins
Company at Winton. The Weyer-
hauser Company at present has sew
eral crews of estimators examining
timber at various places within the
Forest.
Ranger Valentine and Scaler Sod
erback are scaling government timber
on the v. & R. L. operations north Of
Cusson, Mimi. Due to the inactive
lumber market the company is con-
templating closing their operations
for this season, stating that the logs
on hand at present win by far exceed
their prospective sales of the finished
product. Ranger Carney is at the
Porthan & Vuoti camps on the South
Kawishiwi river supervising sale of
government timber.

Troy Fox, technically trained
Forester from Purdue University,
has recently been appointed as For
est Assistant on the Superior National

Ranger Everett returned last week
from the Swallow & Hopkins camps
north of Winton, where he had been
in charge of Government sales DUR
ing the greater portion of the winter.

Trappers operating in the reserve
within the Superior National Forest
are reporting very few catches of
fur. Wolves seem to be very scarce
this winter, also the quality Of the
fur caught is far inferior to the peIts
caught last year, due to the very
mild winter.

THE PLAYGROUND OF A NAT
ION" TEAM TO MAKE PLAY
ING TOUR TO ADVERTISE THE
ELY DISTRICT IN MINNESOTA
AND IOWA.

Final arrangements are being
made for the tour the Basketball
team is going to make starting on
March 9Th. Although this may look
like a pleasure jaunt for the boys
to many of the people in the city,
anyone who has ever been on such a
trip will know that it is the hardest
kind of work and most of the boys
are making a sacrifice to advertise
our wonderful country. Get behind
this trip and help make it a success.

ATHLETIC Meeting

Don't miss the meeting for. the
purpose of forming an Athletic
Association for Ely on Monday even
ing at 8 o'clock at the Community
Center. If you are interested in

During 1920, less fires resulted on
the Superior National Forest than for
any previous year since the Forest
was established. This was remark
able, due to the long periods of dry
ness that was experienced and the
great number of tourists that visited
the Forest throughout the season.
These very pleasing results were OBJ
tanned through the splendid coopera-
ton received from the citizens Of
Ely, and the tourists themselves, and
it is, hoped that the same hearty CO.
operation viii ne received this year
to assist US in preserving the beauti-
full recreational resources of this
Forest nationally knowo as The
Playground of Nation"
