NEW YORK, Feb. Unsuccessful
contamination of the $150,OOO, 900 re-
construction loan of the Japanese
government was the dominant fea-
ture of the bond market during the
past week. Applications for big
sized blocks poured in both from
corporations and individuals, and,
consequently, the books on the issue
were closed shortly after the open
ing. 1t was the largest long-term
foreign loan ever negotiated in this
country. There have been larger
loans, the $500 1000, 900 Anglo-French,
for instance, but these bonds ma.
tured in few years. The new
bonds were traded in on a when

premium over the subscription price

prices of the outstanding Nippon
bonds were stimulated by the favor
able reception Of the newcomer. The
first and second issues of 1925 were
particularly strong on the announce
ment that these bonds would be
called for payment on October 1,
five months ahead of their maturity
date.
The balance Of the foreign list was
notably firm throughout the week.
High-grade bonds, in general, al
though not registering further ad-
vances. enjoyed fair demand.
With money in abundant supply, the
outlook for a continuance of favor

bright. '-'' .'.

Municipal securities, whose recent
rise was attributed to the prospect
of a restriction of their supply, in
case the amendment to the Constitu-
ton eliminating the future issuance
of tax-exempt bonds should be
passed, continued steady in spite of
the failure of Congress to ratify
such a proposal.
The speculative bonds had to con-
tend with severe break in stock
values. Copper bonds, however,
were well bought in connection with

REVIEWS
Dun and Bradstreet's Report
improved Business
Conditions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Dun's
weekly review of business said to.
I day:
Recent gains in business have
been held, and in some cases ex-
tended. The movement still lacks
uniformity, but there has been a
distinct advance in certain of the
| major lines, and the general price
situation is firmer. Most of the
important statistical measures re.
fleet the larger operations, notably
bank clearings. building permits and
untitled steel tonnage, and the
record carloadings for the season
disclose the continued heavy distri.
button Of merchandise. Without any
change from the conservative policy
that has ruled for many months,
various buyers have come into the
markets for additional supplies, the
more frequent ordering indicating
that some stocks are down to the
point where replenishment is neces-
sary. The great iron and steel
trade has developed a degree of
activity exceeding expectations with
prospects strengthened by the float
ing of the Japanese loan in this
country whose proceeds will be used
| for purchase of material here.
| Despite recent Improvement, un-
settlement continues in some tex
tile branches, and the revival in
leather and footwear has not yet
| reached the stage where the condi-
tons are wholly satisfactory. Thus
the situation, though showing bet
| terment, is still marked by irregu-
larities and 1t is significant that
there is little disposition, even in
| lines where the best results appear,
to extend commitments very far
into the future"

business said:

vading small-but- often buying. make

NEW YORK, Feb: 16.-Wall

from the nervous hysteria" that
swept the stock market yesterday.
Sentiment, Of course, was exceed.
1ngly nervous, but sound reasoning
appeared to get the upper hand. IT
was generally felt that although the
trend Of developments in the Wash
1ngton oil investigation was such as
to justify temporary caution in max
ing constructive commitments, there
was nothing in the underlying bust
ness situation that would warrant
such disorganized market conditions
as were witnessed yesterday.
In fact, fundamental conditions in
the business situation appeared not
to have changed at all; they pointed
to further improvement in trade and
industry. The Republic Iron and
Steel Company, for instance, an
nounced its withdrawal as seller of
semi-finished steel for the balance
Of the year owing to it's sold up
condition. Operations in all steel
districts are increasing with the

trade reports were also optimistic.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.--No gen.

and gasoline, such as have char
acterized almost every week since

announced in the oil industry this
week. In some sections of Penn

Production. figures again showed
a slight decline, particularly in the
Western and Mid Western fields. A
new well, brought in seven miles
northwest of the Tonkawa field, was
regarded as an evidence of the
possible extension of that famous
producing field. .,-.
Domestic consumption of gasoline
continues high, but some falling off
in the export demand for this and
other petroleum products is noted.
1t is said that many big European
buyers are disposed to hold off in
expectation of lower prices, believ-
ing reaction to be due in the
near future. Refiners are optimistic
and find no difficulty in disposing
of all the gasoline they can pro-
.duce, despite prevailing poor wealth.

SHOW GOOD =
TONE
Stocks Display Stronger
Trend After Weak
Opening.

NEW YORK, Feb 16.-Following
weak opening, stocks on the curb
exchange displayed better tone
today. Following yesterdays ava
lanche of selling, further pressure
in the early dealings was expected,
but strong interests stood ready to
absorb all offerings which came
out as a result of the closing out
of impaired margin accounts.
A decline of four points in Prairie
Oil and Gas was an early feature,
but the stock made a quick turn
about along with the improvement
in other standard Oil shares.
Chescbrough became very strong
advancing eleven points, while
Swan and Finch rose rapidly on
light offerings.
Independent oils were also firmer,
but fluctuations were restricted.
Good support was evidenced in
the industrial list. Good sized re.
coveries were scored in the tobac-
cos and a number of miscellaneous
stocks, including Gillette Safety
Razor, Midvale company and Uni
versal Pipe and Radiator.
Steadiness was shown in the min.
ing section.
Bonds were steady.

cabin near the No. l was occupied
by Frank Kent, then shift boss at
the Chandler. The mine Office was
not in the scope of the camera when
the photograph of the Chandler was
taken, but it was occupied in 1888
by A. M. Chisholm, now of Duluth,
and one of the best known mining
men in the country. His title was
bookkeeper in those days, and he was
in general charge of all clerical
work. John Pengilly was superin-
tendent. The late Harry Roberts
was head mining captain and Thomas
Ross was night mining captain. AS
already mentioned, Frank A. Kent
was shift boss.
There is no definite record as to
how much iron ore was mined in the
Chandler open pit. There was a
considerable tonnage near the sur.
face, but the drill exploration haG
disclosed that the ore dipped rather
sharply and the overburden increases
in corresponding degree, This &C
counts for the shafts which were
sunk not far from the open pit at thu
outcrop. 1t is perhaps needless t.
add that the open pit operation
would have been vastly increase,

provided with the equipment whicl

CHANDLER NINE WAS ONCE
WORKED AS OPEN PIT.
Many in Ely Recall the Opening of the Chand-
Ter Open Pit Mine---Rare Photograph of
the Chandler at That Time.

The accompanying picture is OF
the Chandler iron mine as it appear
ed in 1888, and is reproduction
from highly priced photograph,
the property of S. S. Rumsey, chief
mechanical engineer of the Oliver
Iron Mining Company, says Shilling
Mining Review. 1t is not generally
known that in those far off days,
when the Chandler, which was des-
tined to become a famous iron mine,
was in the initial stages of develop
ment that it was operated as an open
pit property. But such was the case,
and the picture on this page repre-
sents it at that stage.
The wonderful trough Of iron ore
at Ely outcropped at a point just
North of the station of the Duluth &
Iron Range Rail Road, on the present
site of the city of Ely, and it was
there that the open pit cut disclosed
in the picture was made, and from
which the first iron ore was produced
i the Ely district of the Vermilion
range.
People familiar with the modernly
equipped open pit iron mines of to-
day will be quick to observe that
there are no steam shovels, no loco
motive cranes, no trains of ore car:
in the pit. They will notice that the

ELY TRUMP HIS
OVER MARBLE.
ELY WINS 81 BUT GAME is PRO
TESTED TO LEAGUE
PRESIDENT.

Ely evaded a disagreeable jinx
when they humbled Marble 81 here
Sunday in a game marked by thrills
and wrangling much of the
latter, so much that even after the
nine innings were played Marble was
not satisfied and sent protest to
President Carey of Virginia. Ely
also protested a certain point but it
is highly improbable that either pro-
test will go through.
Ely will have an excellent oppor-
tunity to~tie Virginia for the league
leadership when the locals journey
to the Queen City Sunda In last
weeks game Virginia shut out Eve

close win over Chisholm 7-6.
Although Gianotti was inclined to
be wild on numerous occasions he
managed to get out of serious trou-
BILE and when Ely jumped into one
run lead in the seventh he steadied
down long enough to hold Marble

rounds. He was opposed by For

an every day stunt for the locals.
Marble ,overcame an early lead
set by Ely and at the beginning of
the last half of the seventh inning
they were perched comfortably on a

One of the finest and best attend
ed meetings of the Vermilion Range
Old Settlers Association was the one
closed Friday evening at Tower
after two days of reunion, feasting
and merrymaking. States from the
far south, the east and the extreme
west were represented at the meet
ing. People were there from Cali
fornia, Arizona, Illinois, Nebraska,
Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. From
Alabama, came several old time res
ldents of the range accompanied by
their families, notably among which
were Mr.. and Mrs. John Baird and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Faul
and daughter, D. w. Owen, w. H.
SlOggett and sister, Eliza, Capt.
Thos. Hunter and several others
whose names are not at present re-
called. w. o. Jeffrey and family of
Chicago were there as were also G..
w. Richards of Wayne, Pennsyl-
vania, Don G. Taylor of Youngs-
town, Ohio, took advantage of the
opportunity to meet with the old
timers and visit his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. T. E. Taylor, in Tower Mrs.
George Holmes was present from
California and almost every state in
the Union was represented by one
or more. Out of the 500 active
members on the roster, it is estima.-
ed that the larger part were present
and many with their families and
friends.
Absentees who surely were mis-
sed from the gathering was Lon Mer-
rift and family of Duluth. Through
some unaccountable occurance, Mr.
Merritt and his party were missing
this year-the first time since the
organization ten years ago. Others
who We're missed was John Ander-
son, the first president of the organ
ization and Mrs. Eliza Polkinghorn.
Mr.. Anderson was too busy on his
farm at Dodge Center and Mrs.
Polkinghorn was in California. Both
sent regrets.
At 1890 the parade was formed
at the City Hall and about two humid
ed old timers lined up for the march
to the Mckinley monument. Headed
by the Soudan band the procession
was one of the best ever had by the
association. Besides the large num-
Der of members on foot, there were
a hundred or more automobiles in
the line.
At the monument, ranks were
broken and autos took all to McKin-
ley Park where the basket lunches
and the picnic dinner was feature
