FAIRGROUNDS ARE
NOW OPERA INC,
PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS AT THE
SEVERAL SCHOOL BUILD
INGS DOING FINE.

The summer playground program
was fully inaugurated Monday
morning when attendants were
placed at the Lincoln, Pioneer and
Washington school grounds and the
activities for the season were in
augurated with vim. All children
of the city are invited to take ad-
vantage of the Fairgrounds at which
will be found swings, rings, trapeze,
teeters, sand boxes, slides, etc. for
the younger ones and games of all
kinds for those a little older.
The playground ball league will
open next week and those wanting
to get into the league are asked to
turn in their names to either Mr..
Farley or Mr.. Hoefler who are in
charge of this branch of activities.
Besides the base ball league there
will be volley ball, basket ball,
croquet and horseshoe pitching.
The playground hours are from
10 to IL in the morning; from 80
to 5 in the afternoon and from z

natural iron and OTTO phos.
The Non Bessemer ores with
phosphorus over $50 form small
group which in 1922 made up 1870
Of the total and averaged 5O.94%
natural iron and 1880 phos.
They occur largely on the Menom-
inee range, which contains the
highest phosphorus ores in the
Lake Superior district. 1t will be
noted that the Mesabi contains no
ore of this class, and has in fact
scarcely a single grade running as
high as 1000 in phos.
The manganiferous ores form
3.7%o of the total and in 1922 av-
eraged 44.96% iron and $500
manganese. The Guyana range
ores belonged 44.3% in this class.
1t is of interest to note that in
1913 the Guyana contributed L.
120,214 tons of manganiferous ore
running 10.56% manganese. The
1928 shipments of this grade are
expected to be heavy.
The siliceous ores containing
over 18.008o silica, form a very
small percentage of the total and
come largely from the Marquette
and Menominee ranges. The Ver-
million range was represented in
this class for the first time in 1922,
the Section 80 Mine sending out
Siliceous ore. The average grade
of this ore in the past ten years
has been remarkably uniform.
The average analyses of all
doc ShnHuc xrysIo IL
tween the ores of the different
ranges. The Vermilion range has
the highest grade ore in every
way, high iron, low phos., and low
moisture. The 1922 average is
about two points lower in iron than
the previous years, due to the inclu-
sion of the siliceous ore last year.
The Gogebic range ores are high
iron, low phos. and high moisture.
The Marquette range ores average
high in silica, the Menominee high
in phosphorus and low in iron, the
Guyana ores low iron, and high
manganese, and the Mesabi, low
phosphorus and high moisture.
The average analyses figures
given are interesting and instruct.
i've. The grading and mixing of
the ores of the Lake Superior dis
trict is science in itself and the
consistency of the average figures
year after year shows that the work
is well done. Whether the grade
will hold up as we'll during the next
ten years is question. Very like
ly there will be as little variation
in the different ranges as in the
last decade.

VIC. POWERS WINS
IN ELY VOTE.
GENERAL APATHY HELD THE
BOARDS IN SENATORIAL
PRIMARIES.

The primaries Monday for placing
in nomination candidates to fill the
senatorial chair vacated by the
death of Hon. Knute Nelson, was a
very weak event considering the i'm
portance of the affair. The vote in
every precinct of the state fell far
short of normal.
Ely, which normally casts about
ZOO votes came to the front Mon
day with a total of 340-a little
over fifth of the normal vote
cast at city and school elections.
Vic Power of Hibbing carried Ely
as well as the county, and in fact
the entire northern end of the
state. This is as it should have
been only it did not go far enough.
The light vote was serious blow
to the aspirations of the northwest
to get a senator.

NEW BAND GIVES FIRST OPEN
AIR CONCERT SUNDAY
EVENING.

The first concert by the newly
organized Community Band under
the direction of Prof.. Reinshagen,
took place Sunday evening on the
porch of the Community Center and
Tar exceeded the expectations of
the listeners, considering that the
band had only been practicing
about two weeks. Several marches
and selections were rendered and
all were received with applause by
the large number of people who
had congregated to listen to the
first efforts of what promises to be
a musical organization of which
the city can feel proud. Twenty
four members were out Sunday
evening and it is expected that by
fall the band will number nearly
SO instruments. The Instruments
ton is well balanced and with the
addition of other players who will
be added the several sections will
be efficiently strengthened.

THREE CELL JIG FOR
THE PLANT AT BA8BITT

The Mesabi Iron Co. has added a
Wisconsin three cell jig to its list
of concentrating machines at Bah
bit, says the Mining Review. The
Jig is very familiar to the zinc mine
operators of Missouri and South
western Wisconsin, and has always
been the common and most import
ant device in the dressing of the
zinc ores since the early French in
vaded the zinc and lead districts of
the upper Mississippi valley.
The jig has been placed ahead of
the fine grinding plant at Rabbit
to take care of concentrates, go it
will not have to be admitted to the
fine grinding department.
The jig, which has come from the
Wisconsin zinc district, has been
experimental with by the Mesabi
Iron Co. lately and with very salts
factory results; hence its installa-
ton in the company's plant.

SECRETARY HOLM WARNS
OF NEW REGISTRATION LAW

Secretary of State Mike Holm
announces that the new law for
registration of motor vehicles goes
into effect July LIST, and that he is
given no discretion in the matter
of penalties.
Transfers must be made within 8
days. Registrations also must be
made within three days after the
car becomes subject to the tax.
The penalty for delay in either case
is 25 cents per day for twenty
days and $500 per month there
after for not to exceed five months.
This means a possible fine of $500
for delayed transfer and $500 for
delayed registration with no power
to waive either under any ,ircum-
stances.

NEGRO UNDERSTANDS
ARE STILL AT LIBERTY

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. -
County officers continued their
search Friday for two negroes who
murdered and robbed Andrew j.
Jones, 50-year-old storekeeper at
Wrightsville, a village II miles
south of this city, last night. Sher-
iff Homer Atkins, who led posse
of seven deputies to the scene, re-
ported early today that he had no
clue to the whereabouts of the ban
dts.
The story of the robbery and
murder was told by the 10-year-old
son of Jones, who was in the store
with his father when the negroes
entered and commanded the store
keeper to put up his hands. AS his
father, who was sitting in chair
by the stove, complied in the com
mand, the lad said, the negroes
fired twice. One bullet struck
Jones in the neck.
The bandits grabbed the cash
drawer with its contents and fled.
