here since 1911. The original Cland-
Ter mine began operations in 1888
and was a very heavy producer for
20 years. The Chandler M ing
Company is working larger force
than usual, and ships it's product to
the Zenith Furnace Co. at Duluth.
1t has completely cleaned up its
stockpile, part of which was several
years old and will make nice ship
ment in 1926. The Chandler mine
hoists through old No. shaft and
while it is a small operator now, it
is making very creditable showing.
Indications are that this property
will have an active winter season.
Counting the shipments of 1926 the
total for the Chandler mine since
its beginning will be close to II, 200,-
900 tons. This tonnage includes
that of the original Chandler from
1888 up to and including 1908, and
of the North Chandler and South
Chandler from 1911 to date.
The Soudan mine at Soudan near
Tower, operated by the Oliver Iron
Mining Co., has had a normal year.
This mine, the oldest in the state,
was recently electrified, the shaft
concreted, new buildings erected,
and everything about the property
modernized. With its first shipment
recorded in 1884 it is now in it's AID
ylsar of operation, with shipment
recorded each year. It's normal
shipment in present years runs from
100000 to 10000 tons annually
and it is expected that the 1926 out
put will be within these figures.
Last year shipment of $500 tons
was recorded. The Soudan ore is a
high grade lump non-Bessemer, of
extreme hardness requiring crush
ing. 1t is very desirable furnace
ore. The ore is mined by the back
stopping and filling system. The
Soudan No. shaft is the deepest
in Minnesota, the depth to the goth
level being nearly 100 feet. The
1926 shipments from this property
will bring the grand total up well
over the 100000 ton mark.
The South Chandler mine at Ely,
located on the south forty of the
original Chandler mine, and cper-
ated by B. M. Pattison, lessee, has
not been active this year. In 1925
it shipped out small stockpile and
its last active mining was done in
1920.
The Section 80 mine, located east
of Ely has done nothing since 1928,
when some silicieous ore was shipped
out. The old Savoy mine at Ely,
formerly operate by the Oliver Iron
Mining Co., was exhausted in 1916.
Various explorations on the Vermil-
ion range which were in progress
during the past Is years, have ceased
with the advent of low prices end
the ever increasing tax burden.
From 1920 to 1925 prices paid for
Vermilion range Bessemer ores de-
clined practically $500 per ton, re-
naming at the same figure for 1926.
Notwithstanding this, the taxes per

is only by exercising the greatest
care and efficiency that they can OPP
crate. Even with the large outputs
obtained there is little or no profit
at the end of the year. 1t is to be
hoped that the tax cost will tighten
somewhat so that explorers may be
encouraged to look for more ore
bodies to replace those now active
when they become depleted.

.TO-CLEAR STAIN
ON REBEL VETS:
BY JAMES r. COMMON. Jr..
international News Service

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. Feb. H.
A strenuous effort will be made
in Congress this year to remove
the stigma OF desertion now hang
ing over 1856 Confederate navy vet
Grams. according to Admiral A. o.
Wright. who has been working Tor
years to have the faint removed.
The charges of desertion from
Union forces by the veterans came
from sIowness OF the Federal Gov
eminent in accepting their resigna-
tons although other designations
submitted at the same time in Civil
War days were accepted, Admiral
Wright declared.
More than 800 Union naval Of
ficers offered their designations to
join the Confederacy. and all but
1856 were accepted Records classify
these men as deserters, but they
were in the same class as the men
whose designations were accepted,
Admiral Wright claimed.
Descendants of the 1856 men are
being refused admittance into pa
triotic societies although some of
the dead soldiers grandchildren
foought in the World War for the
United States.
The matter was first brought be-
fore Congress in 1917, Admiral
Wright said, and five years ago the
Senate passed bill restoring honor
to the veterans, but it was defeated
by. the House.
In 1924, both Houses approved
Of the stigma against the
veterans in rider to an appropri-
alton bill, but in the last minute
legislative rush, 1t was dropped
when the two houses could not
agree on other amendments.
Admiral wright is now seeking
support from all Southern states
for q. united stand when a separate
bill to restore full. honors to the
veterans is introduced in Congress.

Morning Service at the Old South

At the Old South church Sunday
morning there was Lenten sermon
of interest and inspiration. Rev.
Mr.. Bradford. the pastor, spoke on
the general theme of Eternal Life"
Among his ILLUSTRATIONS was that of
the chief character in Hawthorne's
Great Stone Face" who from con-
slant association with the stone face
of the mountain grew to resemble
it. In just such a manner through
intercourse with Christ does the
Christian grow to resemble him.
Eternal life is not a matter of the
future alone, but of the present to
the believer.
The music was helpful. There were
two anthems. In one Mrs. Nettie NJ.
Johnson had a solo; in the other,
Miss Audrey Snare. There was a
full chorus choir.
There was an unusually good at
tendance at Sunday school. The
Sunday school attendance has been
growing from week to week in a
gratifying manner. In the evening
there was a Lincoln picture.
