Taken from The Ely Miner Of
the same date in 1903.

George A. st. Clair, of Duluth
has resigned as manager of the
| Sparta and Malta mines at Sparta
and Pickands, Mather & Co., OF
Cleveland, who have taken the pro.
duct of the mines, will operate
them. C. H. Munger, of Duluth
who is the representative Of the
Cleveland firm, will be manager
this year, and Robert Murray, Jr.,
of Negaunee, will be superintendent
of the properties. 1t is understood
that Mr.. St. Clair was anxious to
be relieved of the detail work of
the properties, in both of which he
is heavily interested. He controls
the lease of the Sparta mine and
owns half interest in the Malta
lease. Pickands, Mather & Co.
own the other half. The two pro-
perties produced about 100000 tons
last year, and put out about the
same this year.
One of the largest and most in
teresting deals in undeveloped lands
that has been made for some time
is the securing of an option on
5000 acres of the Mesaha COM
pany's land in sections 60-12 and
60-13, by R. B. Whiteside. $780,
900 was paid for the option and
explorations will be begun in
short time.
Jones & Laughlins of Pittsburg
have mined this year on the Mesaba
range about 100000 tons, and are
preparing to- make this 100000
A.1x
100000 tons of this from a state
school section they have leased and
the rest from free lands.

The tax rate of the city of Vir-
ginia for the year, according to
figures given out by the county
auditor, is the highest of any
municipality on the iron ranges, be-
ing AZ mills. The tax rate of Ely
is 1872 mills. Eveleth % mills,
Tower 1916, Biwabik Is mills, Bull
22.2 mills, Chisholm TIA mills, Hib-
bing % mills, Iron Junction 1876
mills, Mckinley 1879 mills, Mesaba
1914 mills, Mt Iron 800 mills and
Sparta 28.9 mills. If, as contended
by some, open gambling helps a
town in every way, what would be
our tax rate if this licensed evil
were suppressed?-Virginia Enter

PICRIC ACID FOR
SPRING CLEARING.

The county agents are now ar
ranging to take orders for picric
acid for spring clearing and we
aim to have it here by April first,
providing enough orders are in to
make carload. :. This gives the
farmers plenty of time to figure on
their needs for the year Orders
must be in by March 18th.
As stated many times before, pic
rio acid comes from the Govern
ment and the supply is almost ex-
hausted.. That is another reason

BOAT
DISCONTINUED
Protests Follow CurtaiIment
of Service on Ferry Line to
TottenviIIe

With the slowing down of the
traffic over the sound the Staten Is
land Rapid Transit Railroad this
morning took off the second boat
that has been used on the route fuom
this city TO Tottenville during the
summer. Protests are being heard
on all sides already by passengers
using the ferry because of the dis
continuance of the two-boat service
over the sound which the railroad
company placed on the route with
the idea of giving the public the
best service possible. The first that
was known of the lay off of the
second boat was yesterday afternoon
when orders were given to take the
ferryboat Tottenville off the route
and lay the craft in the old slip on
the Tottenville side.
The ferryboat Charles w. GalloL
way is the only boat now on the
route and is making twenty-five min
ute trips from each side of the sound
instead of the fifteen minute head
way that has been maintained
throughout the past several months
when the two boats were in service.
When the new slip was completed
at Tottenville 1t was thought that
the two boat service would be con-
tinued throughout the winter.
So many protests have been re-
ceived already that Stuart L. Ritz. a
member of the Staten Island Cham
Der of Commerce and the South
Shore Protective Association, will
bring the matter = the attention of
these organizations at their earliest
meetings. The latter association will
meet in Tottenville Monday night
and the matter will be discussed at
that time with some strong action
to have two boats plying over the
sound.
The Totttnville will be used only
on Saturdays and Sundays, it has
been learned, until the Perth Amboy.

the company's shops at st. George.

FRANCES POSITION


PARIS, Nov. 1.-(By The Asso.
ciated Press)-Premier Poincare
made a speech at Nevers today in
which, as interpreted by the French
foreign Office, he recognized four
points as within the jurisdiction
of the committee of experts which
is to make a reparation inquiry as a
result of the recent negotiations OF
the European chancelleries and the
Washington government. The pre-
mier by this recognition, It is held
excluded consideration of any other
point. The four points indicated
are:
First: Germany's present capacity
for payment.
Second: New methods of payment,
Third: The renovation of German
finances.
Fourth: A new monetary system,
This program, the foreign Office
points out, is in line with that indi-
Gated in the American note to Lon-
don. Premier Poincare, it is des
clared, considered that Germany'6
debt to the allies was fixed once fol
all and cannot be changed, any more
than the total amounts advanced by
the United States to the allies dur
ing the war can be changed.
