FORMER VERMILION LAND
COMPANY SELLING PROPERTY

Four hundred acres of lands
probably valuable for mineral and
probably not, are being offered for
sale by the Buffalo Land & Explora-
ton Company which had an official
representative here and at Tower
in the early days of the Vermilion
Range. The holdings of the COM
pany are located near this city,
near Rabbit and east of Gunfiint
Lake. All are in excellent locations
as tar as prospects are concerned.
The lands now advertised for
sale thirty-five years ago were op-
toned and contracted to be sold to
a British syndicate for an extreme
ly large sum. This syndicate sent
an expert British engineer to in
vestigate. According to the MEM
DRY of those who were here at the
time, the engineer was typically
English and an extremely pic
turesque figure.
The report which the engineer
turned in was favorable to the prop
erty. Unfortunately, however, the
prospective purchasers ran against
the non-alien laws and were forced
to give up the deal. A famous BAN
quet at Boyle's in Duluth in honor
of the British engineer seems to
stand out in memory.
Following the refusal of the Brit
ish company to purchase the lands
a mortgage against them was fore
closed and the property was bought
by the Buffalo Land & Exploration
company, which has held them
through the years in which other
ranges in this district have been dis
covered and developed.

was called. Those in the territory
to be annexed felt that they would
receive better service from the city
than from Morse. 1t was also the
opinion that the territory being at
the time better adapted to city gov
eminent being part of the city
while not part of the city would
be better served. Police, fire and
lighting service was being supplied
by the city and it was the concensus
of opinion that the taxes of the par
eel should go for the support of the
city. The valuation of the city was
increased by the annexation a mat
ter of a million and a half dollars.
In attacking the. annexation, the
state charged that Ely's home rule
charter fixed the corporate limits IF
the city and that additional territory
could not be acquired without
amending the charter. as provided
under the state constitution. This
action was not taken by Ely, the
state further commended.
The controversy has been hang
ing fire since the case was tried be-
fore Judge Kenny in District Court
in this city on April 1, 1924. The
case attracted considerable atten-
ton in other range towns where an
of valuable territorv had
been fought by the mining COM
panies. 1t is hoped that deci-
sion will end the affair. A stay of
40 days from notice to the Attorney
General of the filings was granted
by the court and. it may be the case
will be carried to the supreme court.

AT noon a luncheon was served
the officers and delegates at which
Bentley P. Neff presided. Address
ses were made by Mr.. L. P. john
son of Ormonde Beach, Florida on
the summer hotel proposition. One
of the finest talks ever made on
the subject of Canadian co-opera-
ton was that of P. H. Dawson of
Fort William, Canada, Mr.. Dawson
opened by stating he was no speak
er and then proceeded to make an
address in which he said much in
an understanding manner and left
much food for reflection.
A board Of directors was elected
of which Jas. Moonan of this city
is a member. In his address Pc
dent Harper stressed the summer
hotel proposition when he said:
"The subjects of adequate sum-
mer hotel facilities to meet the re-
quirements of the increasing tourist
trade is one that must have care

suggesting engagements and i'm
rrovements that will bring assur-
ance of good treatment at reason

A portion of the fund should be
used for the promotion of large
summer hotels, that will bring
people of wealth here, who will
build their summer homes and be-,
come interested in the development
of the Arrowhead country. We
now have project under considera-
ton of "a 300-room hotel, golf
course and other equipment, cost

''In my humble opinion, this pro-
ject holds as great benefits for the
Arrowhead country as the st. Law
renee deep waterway to the sea.
It's benefits will be immediate and
can be developed, while 4h~ 1nepI
waterway must necessarily suffer a
delay through international treaty
and willful opposition, perhaps post
poning it's actual benefits for ten
years. In the meantime other pro-
jects can and must be developed
and pushed.
"This is the psychological time
for action. The Arrowhead Country
is becoming known to the nation
The crop of tourists is on the in
crease. The public spirit of our
people is splendid. The willingness
to unite in joint effort to advance
our common interest is more appar-
ent. If we, therefore, will only
study and analyse the resources at
our door, we invest our money in the
projects, the Arrowhead country
must advance and become known as
one of the most attractive sections
of the country"
