BASKETBALL.
VIRGINIA K. C. TEAM EASY FOR
ELY CITY TEAM
FOR TWO GAMES NEXT.

Due to the failure of the Virginia
h. c. to bring up the fast team they
were reported to have, the basketball
game between their team and Ely
was slow affair last Saturday night.
Ely won by score of So to 5. At
no time during the game were the
locals forced to extend themselves
to score. Virginia was very weak
on offense and not much better on
defense. They repeatedly tried long
shots but had very poor success in
connecting with the basket. Ely was
given an opportunity to improve their
passing game and did so to a certain
extent. The game, although slow,
showed some weaknesses on the part
of the Ely players. One of these
was their failure to follow in their
shots when unsuccessful.
This week, the fast Superior team
which defeated Ely by one point last
year, will come to Ely for two games
on FRIDAY and saturday nights.
Ely is working hard for these games
and they ought to bring out the best
basketball seen on the local floor
this year. The team wants your
support. Come out and help them
win. The lineup for Saturdays
game was:
Ely:-Simonson, rf; Hegman, If;
Rogers, c; Murn, IF; Chinn, lg.
Virginia :-O'Rourke, IF; Coughlin,
If; Kelly, C; Byrne, rg; Murphy, lg.
Summary Field goals, Simonson

Fouls, fHegman l out of 4, O'Rourke
l out of 3. Substitutes, Pluth for

EUROPEAN Relief,
FUND TOOK A DECIDED BOOST
THE PAST WEEK-MoRE
SHOULD CONTRIBUTE.

Ely's contributions to the Europ-
can Relief Council fund are coming in
better and the fund has been more
than doubled the past week. The
fund now totals $552.60, this amount
representing donations by ia resi-
dents and societies of Ely. The total
is still far short of the amount that
is expected of Ely, however, and there
are many citizens yet to be heard
from. The committee in charge
hopes to complete the fund by the
end of the month Most of the
Mesaba range towns have already
subscribed their quota and residents
there have been very generous-Hib-
bling alone has given over $1,000, this
representing $500 subscriptions.
A feature of the weeks collections
here have been subscriptions by sew
eral prominent societies of Ely. The
Mothers Club, always foremost in
any charitable work, has given the
largest single donation, $50. Other
societies who expect to help are
urged to turn in their subscriptions
before the lists are closed. The com
mittee has been somewhat disappoint-
ed by the lack of interest shown by
the former residents of Central Eur
ope. 1t is IN Austria Hungary, Jugo-
Slavia and Czeeho- Slovakia that there
is the greatest distress and money
given by people of these nationalities
will help save relative or friend.
Remember this fund is to keep the
children alive-those totally incap-
able of helping themselves. It is
solely an act of humanity, and we can
afford to be generous.
Send in subscriptions to the Ely
Miner Office, or get your name on the

production for the entire district of
so, 227 ,226 tons.
| OF this amount 39,570,196 tons
were shipped from mines in the state
of Minnesota.
The Minnesota state owned mines,
from which royalties are collected
for the state, produced 5,907,88
tons from % of the 80 state mining
properties. This is the largest amount
of ore that has been produced from
the state owned mines since the be-
ginning of their operation. There
yet remains in the properties owned
by the state approximately 100000
900 tons of ore which, when mined,
will pay the state $25, 10000 in roy
alties. The production this year
netted the state in the neighborhood
of $1,500,000. Eighty-seven per
cent of this goes to the permanent
school fund and the remainder to the
University and Swamp Land fund.
In addition to this the state col
lected from the railroads, in gross
earnings tax, five per cent on the
rate for each ton of ore transported
The rate from the Mesaba range was
one dollar per ton, and as more than
36,OOO,O00 tons were transported,
this range alone paid into the state
treasury through the gross earnings
tax more than $1,800,000.
Of the total shipments from the
Lake Superior district 35,912,793
tons or about 65 per cent were mined
and shipped to be used in the manu-
facture of iron and steel by independ-
ent companies.

FEDERAL BOARD OF VOCATION.
AL EDUCATION WILL BE IN
DULUTH NEXT WEEK.

Good news for disabled ex-service
men who are hindered by their disa-
bility from returning to their pre-
war occupation was received by
the American Legion Post, the
Red Cross and other cooperating
agencies in the work of aiding the
former service men. This news was
sent out by the District Office of the
Federal Board of Vocational Educa-
ton, located at Minneapolis. The
duty of this board is to refrain dis
abled ex-service men, who according
to the law, are entitled to such train
ing at the hands of the United States
Government.
Announcement was made that on
Jan. 18th state wide campaign was
opened which will continue for ap-
proximately seven weeks or until the
entire state is covered. A group of
experienced men will tour the state,
stopping at some of the important
centers throughout the state to con-
suit with all those who desire to
push rapidly forward any claim they
may have for attention from the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education
This announcement states that this
squad of men will be in Duluth on
January 25, &c, 81 and %, and that
any man who believes himself to be
entitled to restraining at the hands of
this Board may have his case decided
upon,and if he is eligible, be placed
in training at once, if he so desires.
The coming of these representa-
tives of the Federal Board to Duluth
on the day mentioned will, it is hoped
by those concerned, reach the atten-
ton of every man who might have
a claim against this Department of
the Government and that the visit of
these representatives will mean for
each man the following things:
i. If any man has not yet made
application for Vocational Education,
such application will be made for him
on the spot. He will be Immediately
examined by physician of the Board
and his case rated. The case win
then be passed upon by a man who
is with the squad and who is a rep
resentative of the Central Office Of
the Board at Washington, D. c., and
if he is found by this representative
to be eligible, he will be placed in
training Immediately if he so desires.
2. Any man who has made appli-
cation for training but whose case
has not been completed because of
lack of certain papers, may have
these papers completed on the spot
and his case acted upon and decided
IF he is found eligible for training he
will be placed in training Immediately
if he so desires.
SIT is our purpose" the announce
.ment says, ito decide all cases pos
ssibie while the representatives of the
Board are in Duluth" This will save
ithe time required previously in send
ing eases to the Minneapolis Office
for rating, completion of papers,
medical examination and decision.
