BIG FIGHT CARD.

Eveleth is town on the Mime
sofa Iron Range with a population
Of about 10000. For years this
little town has been competing with
Americas largest for hockey and
baseball honors. Eveleth is known
for its hockey and baseball teams.
Now comes this little town to the
front in a new sport. 1t is box
ing. This little town is going to
put on show on August % that
is more fitting to Madison Square
Garden. The promoters are going
to stage a show that will cost
thousands, something unheard of in
this neck of the woods.
Midget Smith, the greatest of
great bantamweights, is going to
meet Minnesota's leading contend
err for the title, Stewart Mclean.
Smith, called by Gotham's sport
critics as the modern Terry Meow
ern, is going to try and stop Nc
Leans rush towards a champion
ship. Mclean has been going along
the last year at a rapid pace. He
has toppled over Earl Puryear,
Earl Macarthur and a host of les
ser lights. Whether or not he is
going to bump into a tartar in the
Smith battle remains to be seen.
Cne thing is certain-he will have
to fight as never before. He viii

COUPON TICKETS.

For the first time in the history
of the Minnesota State Fair, ad-
vance sale coupon tickets at re-
duced rates are to be offered for
this years fair, September to 9.
Each ticket will contain six adj
mission coupons and will sell for
$500, or at the rate of SO cents an
admission. The tickets will be
transferable, and may be used by
any adult or party of adults, for
admission at the outside gate, or to
the unreserved sections of the
grandstand or horse show.
All of the banks in the state will
be given an oportunity to handle
these tickets. The sale will close
August 10. A purchaser of a
ticket will save $3.50 on the six adj
missions, since the regular charge
of rs cents, which has been made
by the fair the past two years will
be made again this year. Without
this ticket, six admissions to the
fair at fair time will cost $3.50.
The biggest purchasers of coupon
tickets will be families and groups
intending to visit the fair as a
party.

tent that he don't care who is
brought against him. AS a matter
of fact Mclean is so sure of fight
ing for the title that he already has
put in a bid for Smiths place in
the October card against Champion
Lynch.
Promoters are now lining up the
preliminary bouts. Jimmy Delaney,
the st. Paul middleweight who de-
feated George Shade, win meet a
tough boy from Akron, Ohio. De-
laney's opponents name is Harry
Krohn.
Mel Allison, the Duluth welter-
weight, will meet Johnny Schauers,
st. Paul. Jimmy Valentine, Du-
luth bantamweight, will meet john
ny Ertle, st. Paul and former ban
tanweight champion of the world.
How this card can be staged in
town with, a population of less
than 10000 is something to be
doped out by Others. 1t is true
that the Twin Cities, Duluth, Hib-
bling, Superior, Virginia and CHS
holm give the drawing power from
better than a half million people
and that is one of the reasons a
show of this calibre is being staged
in Eveleth.

P|CR|C ACID At
REDUCED COST.
HAS So CARLOADS
AND CAN FILL ALL ORDERS
SAVING MADE ON THE
FREIGHT.

Farmers and organizations Of
citizens interested in land clearing
will be glad to learn that the uni-
versity now has good supply of
picric acid, which, BY reason Of
recent reductions in freight rates,
can be laid down at delivery points
for about cents a stick or about
$11.80 per 100 pounds. This means
an actual saving to land clearers
of about so cents per 100 pounds,
or about $120 a carload of 10000
pounds, over previous costs. Every
farmer can purchase picric acid to
the extent of 1000 pounds.
In view of the large supply, 81
carloads, at the disposal of the
university, no more specific allot-
ment will be made to counties.
Under the new order of things
counties can order picric acid in
any quantity from the university.
The land clearing specialists az
University Farm estimate that the
war salvage explosive now in sight
for Minnesota is sufficient to clear
$500 acres.
A stick of picric acid is equal to
a stick of dynamite in blasting
stumps, according to the university's
land clearing specialists. The con-
sumner really pays nothing for the
material; costs to him are repre-
scented only by the expense Of cart
ridging and the transportation char
ges. Orders should be sent to the
university through the county agri-
cultural agent or the local bank

TOO MANY TOWNS
To PUT ON MAP
SPACE LACKING TO NAME ALL,
ONLY LIST IN AMENDMENT
NO. IS LOCATED ON
TRUNK SYSTEM
GUIDE.

Ely is only one of 1,400 cities,
large and small, in Minnesota, all
of which want to be always on the
map both figuratively and literally,
but many of which were unavoid-
ably omitted from the trunk high
way map published by the state
highway department.
There was no room for all the
cities and villages on the map, ac-
cording to the explanation in the
highway bulletin, and forced to
limit the list, the department put
on only the towns name in good
roads Amendment No. 1. 1t is
planned in a few months, however,
to issue another Minnesota Highway
map on which all towns will APP
pear, also many important roads in
addition to those in the trunk sys-
tenn.
Not only does every town want
to be listed, the bulletin states, but
many want stars to indicate free
camping grounds, circles for parks,
and so : forth-and lack of room
for all, forced the limit to avoid
unfair discrimination.

ators of the North Chandler Min
ing property at Ely, are working
two shifts and employ 10 meh.
Shipments are going forward to
the Zenith Furnace Co., at Duluth.
Contractors have started excava-
ton work for the new hydro-elec-
tric plant of the Minnesota Util-
tiles Co., one half mile southeast
river are to be utilized, which will
afford total head of 72 #. and
develop about 5000 h. p. The falls
are within 500 #. of Fall lake, and
the river discharges into the lake
from the high ground overlooking
it.
About 10 men are now en-
ployed erecting concrete plant,
gravel dock, establishing Golfer
dams and preparing to fiume the
river water. A Marion steam shovel
is doing the excavation work. The
force of men will be increased next
week, and every effort will be made
to complete the work as early as
possible. The Utilities Co. is owned
largely by range people, and the
power distributed there. Cheap
power may go a long way toward
stimulating the search and develop
ment of new ore bodies.
Development work at the Arm
strong Bay mine of the Chippewa
Iron Mining Co., continues with a
force of about 80 men. All de-
veiopment work to date has been
done above the water level and
10000 tons of ore have been
placed in stock as result.
The property has 1900 feet of
workings, which include a 66-fr.
shaft, two adits and development
work on two levels. A small open
cut has been developed from which
ore has been milled into a raise
trammed to the shaft and hoisted.
The property has shown up very
well considering that it is opened
up above the water level only in
both directions along the strike of
the outcrop. The future of the
property, however, no doubt rests
with much deeper openings. The
Armstrong Bay is served by a new
and well graded standard gauge
spur track connecting with the D.
& l. r. r. R. at McComber.
The National Mines Corporation,
which control the lease on the Nc
Comber mine, at McComber, Mimi,
have ceased pumping, following
several years of development work
on a small scale. It is a shaft
property located on the shore of
Armstrong lake. The ore is hema-
tite with undeveloped bodies of
magnetic. The Section 80 Mining
Co., with property near Winton, are
shipping out stockpile.- Skillings'

MORE BARGAINS ON
NEW HIGHWAY JOBS.
STATE LOW PROPOSALS WITH
OUT INCREASE-NO BID
DING AGAINST HARVEST
LABOR DEMAND.

Tentative awards of contracts on
80 state trunk highway improve
ment projects in many parts of
Minnesota at figures averaging as
low as those at past lettings were
announced this week by Charles M.
Babcock, state highway commission
er.
The list as already made public
includes nearly $50 miles of gravel
surfacing 100 miles of grading, 2
miles of paving, several bridges
and other work, and bids are more
than $250,000 below engineers es-
Inmates, says the highway Depart
ment bulletin. Final awards will
be made on rechecks to make sure
the bids accepted as the best in
each case.
Work not interfering with har-
vesting on the farms will be pushed,
according to John H. Mullen. assist
ant commissioner and chief high
way engineer. Grading operations
are to be well advanced this fall
and the gravel-surfacing, guard rail
and other improvements completed
before heavy highway travel opens
next season. This will put the bet
terments to public use as early as
possibly, it was said and keep Min
nesota in first place among the
states for completed mileage of
federal aid roads,.
Newspaper announcements of the
program, Commissioner Babcock as
serted, were a factor in securing
bids from local contractors through
out the state and protecting against
higher prices.
Low bids on new work were:
grading at 18 to % cents a yard,
crawling at 16 to 26 cents, small
paving yardages at SCOT and guard
rail at az cents a foot average.
The state is making first contracts
for building guard rail and the AZ
cent price is compared with the So
cent average paid by counties, it
was reported.

vERM|L|ON RANCE
MINES ACTIVE.
ELY AND SOUDAN MINES EN-.
JOY ACTIVE OPERATION.

The iron mines of the Vermilion
range are producing freely, which
is Characteristic of the district. II
has become a well known fact that,
regardless of conditions which may
affect the mining industry as Q
whole, the iron mines at Ely and
Tower, Mimi, continue active. 1t
will be recalled that this was true
during the recent long depression.
Even though there are only q
few mines that can claim import
ant known tonnages of iron ore,
the possibilities are believed to be
great over the Vermilion forma-
ton, though difficult to translate,
from Tower to Ely, a distance of
about 20 miles.
The Oliver Iron Mining Co., at
Ely, are re-timbering Pioneer "a"
and for the present are farming
production to "B" shaft, which
shaft will be equipped with steel
stockpile trestle. Mining in the
Pioneer is concentrated on the 18th
level and $40 men employed.
Stock ore at "a" shaft is being
loaded out.
The Sibley mine, which adjoins
employs a normal crew under
ground. When the Oliver exhaust
ed the Savoy mine, some years ago,
it removed distinguished mine
member, operating the famous Yer
million ore trough. The trough is
two miles in length and the Savoy
steel headframe stood on the ex-
IRENE eastern end of the deposit.
ntah
derives its name from the iron
formation in which it has developed
the Minnesota and Montana hard
opened in Minnesota. The mine
was opened in 1884, and has ship
ped continuously ever since, with
out missing a single ore season.
The property produces Vermilion
lump, hard non-bessemer hema-
tite, of blue luster, running about
64.30 iron, .95 moisture, .121 phos.
and sos silica. The ore is appor-
toned among the furnaces of the
Steel Corporation, primarily for
emergency cases as furnace
physic Every furnace superintend-
ent of the corporation feels rein
forced with Soudan lump in the
yards. This special ore is very
dense and the Jumps sink quite
freely thru the Stag in open hearth
practice.
The mine is now developed to a
vertical depth of 1400 #. Rock
drills averag" about 4 #. of drilling
per shift compared with 40 and SO
It. in other mines of the iron ore
field. The amount of mine timber
used is negligible.
At the present time a so X. w.
Unifiow engine driven generator is
being installed in the compressor
plant on Vermilion Lake to fur
nish electric light underground, re-
placing old equipment. The. unit
was transferred from the Shiras
mine, an idle property of the cor
poration at Virginia, MINI.
The Vermilion Mining Co., Pick
snds, Mather & Co., operators of
the Zenith mine at Ely. are plan
ming to erect a structure this fall
to serve as carpenter and black
smith shop, and to be fully equip
ped.
The 18th level is under develop
ment, which corresponds to 100
feet vertical depth. A Hoar Load
er is mucking out. Scrapers are
used with double drum hoist and
with satisfactory results. Stock
pile shipments are going out regu-
larly and 100 men are employed
underground at this time.

Minnesota has more lakes than
any other state, and she is due to
have better roads than any other
state within a few years. The
combination of lakes and roads will
make the state a playground for
the nation, and the people of Min

millions of dollars every summer.
