ASSETS OF VERMILION
RANGE MINE TO BE SOLD

An order for hearing on sale of
assets of the Scott Bevier Iron Min
il Co., a Minnesota corporation,
has been ordered by Judge C. r.
Magney of district court, in Duluth,
Jan. 80, at $3.50 a. m. The officers,
stockholders and creditors and
others who may be interested are
ordered to attend and show cause,
if any, why the petition of the
Ebert-Hicken Company, praying for
the sale of assets, should not be
granted. w. p. Hicken of Duluth
is temporary receiver. The assets
of the company consist of mineral
lease to 100 acres from the state of
Minnesota, on the VermiIion iron
range, described as s. E. n of SO,
63-15, together with some drilling
equipment and Office furniture. The
Scott Bevier Iron Mining Company
has been conducting exploration for
many years, and while it has met
with some encouraging develop
ments in drilling these have not
been sufficient to sustain the inter-
est of stockholders and others who
have been provided the necessary
funds. The exploration has been
conducted by shot drills. The tenn
porary receiver reports that the
company owes about $4,000.

HoW's YOUR RADIO WORKING,
WANT DOPE ON 1T?

This indeed is an important ques-
ton. 1t determines whether or not
you are getting all the value from
your set. And if it's falling down
on the job, if you know it is cap
able of greater range, you are the
loser if you don't set out to adjust
the matter.
Slight adjustments, change in
hookups, or installation of an addi-
tional unit, often turn a poor out
fit into a surprisingly good one,
But how to make these changes is
the problem.
Many radio fans are finding The
Miners Radio Department just the
place to look for valuable informa-
ton concerning a multitude OF
radio topic. There's something in
it for everybody. Turn to it today
and see what it has to offer.

MORE u. S. HIGHWAYS
NAMED IN MINNESOTA

Minnesota's mileage of u. S.
Highways to be marked by the gov
eminent for the convenience of in
terstate, long-idstance travellers now
totals more than $500 miles, with
additions of three new routes added
this week by the Bureau of Public
Roads at Washington and announc-
ed by Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner.
In addition to u. S. Highway
designations already made public,
three new routes just designated
are as follows:
On state trunk highway No. IL
east from Black Hills through Mari
eta, Madison, Dawson and Monte
video and continuing on T. H. No.
AZ through Clara City and Ray
mond to Willmar; eastern extension
on through Hutchinson being barred

but federal aid highways.
On T. H. No. 20 north from Iowa
through Canton, Harmony, Houston,
Preston, Chatfeld, Rochester, Pine
Harrington, and on t. H. No. SO

Government markings of the
transcOntinental and other main in
terstate road routes are mainly to

on financing or other highway mat
tiers. The u. S. markers are to be
posted early this spring on all
routes over the country if present
plans are carried out. Minnesota
markings will cover nearly half of
the trunk highways in the state, and
that is held extremely liberal re-
cognition. Designations were fought
for by thousands of communities in
the belief that the markings will in
