LABORER TO MAGNATE

From boy laborer in steel mill to the head of the largest industrial concern in the world IS Dg mp put James A. Farrell of the United States Steel Corporation has made it.
 When his father was lost at with his ship, young Farrell was 15 years,od He had to leave school to earn
 living so his hopes for college education were shater ed At 16 he began aborer in steel mill In his home city of New Haven working 12 hours day as was the rule at that time But he somehow found opportunities for the study of books well as to gain thorough knowledge of his work.
 Before he was 21 he foreman of 300 men in Pittsburgh factory then in turn became salesman sales manager and general manager. When his company be- came part of the United States Steel Corporation he was placed in charge of the foreign end of it's business until he became president in 1811 His recent to chairman of the board gives him the most important place in American industry.
 Mr. Farrell believes that young man should begn at the bottom to learn business, as he did When hs son wanted to enter shipping career Mr. Farrell had him work alongside of ongshoremen and stevedores on the docks for year.
 Judging by his own outstanding success it seems that Mr. Farrell has the correct idea about getting start ed right.

FORTUNES IN FOXES

Judging from recent reports, silver fox raising in Canada is becoming equally important as in Alaska. shipment of 95 of these beautiful pets from ranch near Red Mountain Manitoba not long ago represented val ue of $47 OOO according to Winnipeg newspaper.
 The beginning of industry that particular ranch is paraed by Alaska fox ranches. Starting with five pairs 1925 the Manitoba ranch has 800 foxes but differs from the average Alaskan ranch in that there are 30 men employed during the busy season.
 Aside from the profits which accrue on well-man- aged fox ranch the industry has another commendabe feature The raising of fur animals in this manner where by they well cared for during their lifetime is much more humane process for securing frs than by ordinary trapping methods
 When the pets are needed, the foxes may be put to death instantly instead of being tortured for days in traps often happens to less fortunate wild animals

ALAMEDA PASSES THRU
 VARIED WEATHER ON
 PRESENT TRIP SEWARD

Beginning with departure from Seattle last Saturday in heavy fog, the good ship Alameda, Capt. Wester- lund. arrived in port here last night at 10 o'clock.
 Heavy mists yelled Puget Sound and the coastal waters of British Columbia but on reaching DiXons Entrance, at , mospheric conditions were clarified and a clear sky, with long visibility, was enjoyed.
 On leaving Wrangell, light rains were falling but these ceased when Juneau hove in sight From there to Cordova, very pleasant trip was had, with the steamer ploughing her way thru a dark greenish sea- The back ground of the snow-clad mountains bordering the Gulf of Alaska was ever an inspiring sight. The s. s. Yukon was passed on her way South, travell- ing quite close to the shore. The Ala meda arrived in Cordova Wednesday noon and left there D. m. that after noon, after taking on 100 tons of ore. On her way to Valdez, the weather be- came colder and the thermometer reg istered about 20 above.
 When within eight miles of Valdez, solid mass of ice was encountered, thickness ranging from six to 14 dn- ches. It was sufficiently thick to com- pletely stop the boat when travelling at full speed and only by the dint or going astern and again forging ahead, was the ice broken and the boat made port after three hours grinding. After leaving Valdez at II p. m. A neavy snow storm was encountered which necessitated the continued use of the siren. Latouche was reached about S a. m. the following morning. The storm being of such severity, the boat remained tied to the dock until 6.15 that evening.
 On her way to Resurrection Bay, a heavy running sea was astern, which literally picked the boat up and huri- cd her ahead at rate of about 20 knots sn hour, causing heavy rolling from side to side for about two hours. When the port lights of Seward hove Tn sight. the stars were shining and there was no motion of the boat other than steady forging ahead in calm sea
 The fact that an additional distance
 was logged on this voyage owing to
 the fact that the Wrangell NarroWs
 are temporarily closed and the layovel at Latouche, the good ship Alameda
 would have docked here probably
 Thursday morning.
 The local office announces the Ala meda will depart for the South at o'clock tonight instead of at the usua
 schedule hour of midnight.

TOWER FISH HATCHERY
DOES MUCH BUSINESS

Tower News-Paul S. Goodell, who
had charge of the State Game and
Fish departments spawn gathering
operations at Pike river this season.
finished up his work there last Fri
day when the last of the fry was TAX
en- from the hatchery and placed in
Lake Vermilion. Mr.. and Mrs. Goodell
left the same afternoon for Harding
to visit briefly before going to their
home at Herman, Mimi, where Mr.
Goodell is employed as a game warden
Twenty thousand fish were spawned
at the local hatchery this spring,
against twelve thousand last year, Mr.
Goodell says, but the percentage of
eggs Matched was not as great as a
year ago. This is attributed to the
dirty condition of the water in Pike
river and sediment which heretofore
has not been found in it.
Considerable more than half of the
fry Matched here, or to be exact, g.
633, $50 more than half, was put back
in Lake Vermilion, Mr.. Goodell says
Eyed eggs to the number of 10186, $40
were shipped to the French River
hatchery, and fry totaling 3,593,000 was
planted in lakes in the vicinity of Ely,
Virginia, Biwabik, Eveleth and Bah
bitt. The total amount Of fry put
back in Lake Vermilion was 20,413, $50,
according to Mr.. Goodell's figures.
Because Of opposition on the part of
resort and summer home owners on
Lake Vermilion it is rumored that this
is the last year pike spawn will be
taken here, but as to what basis there
is for this story the News cannot say.
Many local people are of the opinion
that it would be advisable to continue
the hatchery but all of the fry taken
should be returned to Lake Vermilion.

GOODWILL BAGS ON HAND.
CALL AND GET ONE-USE 1T.

The Miner this week received q half
dozen bags from the Goodwill In
dustries in Duluth and is sending out
an appeal for the fairminded people
of the city to get one or more OF these
bags and fill them with cast-oh cloth
ing, shoes, kitchen utensils, furniture
and anything that can be used TO
furnish employment for the crew OF
physically handicapped working at the
Goodwill plant in Duluth. 1t is re-
markable what can be done with this
cast-of stuff which you pile up in the
attic or throw in the alley, by these
people who are given employment for
enough to keep them alive and con-
tented. After the goods are renovated
and repaired they are placed on sale
and sold to poor people at very
small price. James Dyer, a former
resident of this city and his wife,
are in charge of the Goodwill Indus
tries in Duluth and while here two
weeks ago informed the Miner that
the payroll for the previous week
amounted to over 500. The only
drawback to the work will be the ina
bility to get enough material to keep
the crew employed. The last batch
of bags were given out to Henry
Chinn, Sig Olson, Ernest Madden, CD,
Peter Schaefer, Ted Thompson, Judge
Schaefer and Douglas Nankervis who
have sent them in and are receiving
the thanks of those employed at the
plant. Get a bag and fill it. Notify
Maddern's Dray Line which has kindly
consented to take them to the station
free of charge. Don't throw away
anything.

KIT CARSON WAS A HAPPY
WARRIOR OF THE OLD WEST"

Of all the heroes of the American
frontier, few are better known than
Kit Carson and few had more ro-
mantle history than this Kentuckian,
who ran away from his boyhood
home in Missouri to seek adventure on
the trail to Santa Fe, N. NJ, and who.
from that day to the day Of his
death in Colorado, found adventure O.
plenty.
Kit Carson's epic story has often
been told but it has been retold re-
Gently by an Oklahoman who has dis
PEELED much of the legend which has
collested around Carson's name and
has added many new facts about his
life. In this issue of The Ely Miner
there is a feature article by Elmo
Scott Watson based upon this new
Carson biography which you will want
to read. Don't miss "a Happy War

IN FUR FARMING.
LICENSES TAKEN BY tit PERSONS
AND COMPANIES TO RAISE Is
DIFFERENT KINDS OF ANIMALS
NFOR FUR IN THE STATE.

With TIT persons or companies in
Minnesota licensed to raise fur bear
ing animals since the passage o. the
fur breeders act by the legislature
IN April, 1927, fur farming in the state
is rapidly assuming the proportions
of $1,000,O00 industry.
Where before the passage of the
law there were only few muskrat
and fox farms in the state, there
are now more raccoon and mink farm
ers than there are muskrat farmers,
although there are tar more muskratS
in the state than any other breed of
furbearing animal.
1.-The protection given to the fur
breeders by law and the publicity Civ
en- to its passage are largely respon-
sible for the tremendous growth in
the industry in the last year,. Albert
C. Klanske, assistant game and fish
commissioner, said Saturday.
1.-THE fur breeders law gives man
the right to use the muskrats on a
farm he has acquired for breeding
purposes by paying the state a fee
of so cents each. This has given
many farmers their initial breeding
stock"
Some interesting figures shown by
the fur farming licenses issued up to
May 10 were given by MIR. Klancke.
Farmers in the state are licensed to
keep Is different kinds Of animals.
The list includes muskrat, mink, fox,
raccoon, skunk, weasel, beaver, mar
ten, fisher, squirrel, rabbit, otter, por-
cupine, badger and wolves.
According to the figures up to May
TO-, there are 10000 muskratS in the
state, $500 mink, $500 fox, $500 rae
coon and 600 skunk, kept in captivity
by fur farmers. figuring the value of
the pelts of these animals alone, they
are worth approximately S25O,00O A
large share of the animals are sold
or kept as breeding stock and their
value is double or triple that of the
pelt, bringing the value up TO 81 ,O00,-
600.
I'm making fur survey of the state,
we found a number of wild opoSsum
in the southern part Mr.. Klancke
said. 1--WE were amazed until we
found fey farmers who were keep
ing the animals as pets. They had
brought them up from the south and
some had evidently escaped and, be-
coming acclimated to Minnesota,
were staying here"
"The muskrat fur is probably in the

greatest demand, chiefly because 1t
lends itself SO well to different colored
dyes"
In checking up on the species Of
animals kept when making out the
licenses, Mr.. Klancke found all kinds
of animals, from porcupines to wolves,
weasels, wildcats and frogs, were being
kept in captivity in the state. Most
of the unusual animals were kept
merely as pets or curiosities. One far
mer kept timber wolf and one a
Montana wildcat as miniature ZOOS
for his children.
