MINERAL PROSPECTS
IN COOK COUNTY

AS long ago as fifty years a number
of small shafts were sunk in Cook and
Lake counties, says Skillings Mining
Review. This area forms the very
northeastern part of Minnesota and
forms portion of the north shore OF
Lake Superior.
The most profitable mining venture
on the north shore of Lake Superior
was that of Silver Islet, a small but
rich silver mine located on a small
island in the lake just off of Port
Arthur, Ontario. The mine paid it's
owners over two million dollars in net
profits. The original discovery was
made by noting the PRESENCE CT wire
silver visible through the clear lake
water. Years have now passed and
the only trace of the now idle mine Is
a small island most of which was built
by the waste rock from the shaft as
underground work advanced. This is
the only paying deposit ever found in
the Knife states OF the north shore Of
Lake Superior.
Compared TO the great area that
Cook and Lake counties occupy, little
actual work has been done in search
for minerals by test shafts or trench
ing.
About 1880 work was underway al
the Paulson mine at the west end OF
Gunf1int lake in Cook county. Con-
siderable mileage of railroad was built
to connect the mine with blast fur
mace at Port Arthur, Ontario, where
it was proposed to make pig iron anc
coke and sell gas and by-products
The venture never reached a profitable
stage. The Paulson mine, furnace, anc
railroad have long been abandoned
Limited sshaft work and trenchine
has been done in Cook county at Nc
Farland lake, and in some other 10,
cations in northeast Cook county.
small shaft is reported found on one
of the islands in Saganaga lake
Magnetic iron ore is known to exist
over a wide spread area in Cook
county. Most of this ore carries some
titanium

HIGHWAY MARKERS
ARE APPRECIATED.

Highway markers and signs may
seem a small item, but on 1000 mile
system of heavily travelled trunk high
ways, keeping up signs necessary to
guide travellers and warn them of var
iouS hazards, runs into large sum.
Last year the Minnesota Highway de-
partment spent ,917 for this SER
vice. This includes both erection of
new signs where needed and main
tenance Of signs on the entire system,
says a Highway bulletin.
Damage done by vandals and
thoughtless persons runs into thous-
ands of dollars every year. But the
damage is not as great as one might
think, when you consider the many
thousands of signs throughout the
state. A quarter century ago the
guide post" was favorite target for
boys with stones and men with guns.
Today the youth who can hit them is
not looked up to by his associates.
People appreciate the value and the
Importance of the road signs and
frown on anyone who damages them.
Reckless drivers, snow plows and
other accidents also cause occasional
damage to signs, necessitating repair
or replacement. New signs must be
put up when new road is opened to
traffic. Detours must be marked.
Additional direction and warning signs
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1930-06-20

for improper parking, 978 for speed in
congested area, 957 for not driving in
right lane, 525 going through stop sign,
$50 for improper passing, 353 for faulty
lights, 1872 for cutting in on traffic,
40 for livestock on highway, Al for
overloads, 81 for passing on curves, 1872
miscellaneous.
Improper licenses brought arrests to
102, in most cases for using licenses
on car other than the car for which
they were issued The patrolmen took
134 cars in custody for improper Ii
censes issued tags to 245 who had only
one plate, 681 who had no plates, 205
with wrong class of plates, 80 out of
state cars requiring Minnesota plates
81 requiring visitors permit, and 562
drivers who required chauffeur's Ii
cense.
The patrolmen attended 81 accidents,
gave first aid to IA, gave road infor-
nation or directions to 6,276 and aid
in various ways to 500 others. Three
stolen cars were recovered and Is
abandoned on highway were taken
into custody.

HIGHWAY PATROL
HAD BUSY MONTH
FIGURES IN REPORT SHOW
ERRORS MOTORISTS SHOULD
AVOID, CHIEF SAYS-SEVERAL
ARRESTS MADE.

With more cars on the highways,
activities of the Minnesota Highway
patrol increased during the month of
May as compared with April. The
monthly report made by Earle Brown,
chief patrol officer, to c. M. Babcock,
commissioner of highways, shows that
in May the 35 state traffic officers
made 262 arrests, took 251 cars into
custody, issued 1,763 tags for improper
licenses, 1852 tags for faulty equip
ment, gave warnings to 7,049 vio-
lators of the traffic rules, and gave
aid to $3.50 motorists. Fines imposed
totaled $7,535 and license corrections
brought in $2,283.
The Miner publishes below some of
the figures on arrests, tags and warn
tngs because they indicate some of
the more common errors which motor
lists should avoid if they do not want
to be stopped by the patrolmen. A
warning or even an arrest, however,
is not half as serious as if drivers
continSe these violations of the traffic
rules, Mr.. Brown points out, as break
ing traffic rules is sure to lead to ac-
cidentS, sooner or later.
There were log arrests for drunken
driving. A total of s5,481 in fines was
imposed on these drivers and 81 of
their cars were taken into custody
There were 26 arrests for careless
driving, 8 for passing on curves, Is for
failure to stop at STOP" signs, for
passing on crest of hill, for improper
lights and for overweight
Tags for illegal equipment included:
1850 no rear light, 1902 with one head
light, 430 license obScured, $50 made
quate improperly adjusted or glaring
lights, 1853 no clearance lights, 1876 with
no muffler, 225 without rear vision
mirror, so faulty brakes, Sc no wind
shield wiper 10 miscellaneous. The
tags require the driver to mail card
within 48 hours certifying that the
correction has been made
Warnings were given to 1850 drivers

ORDER TO EXAMINE SUPPLE
MENTAL FINAL ACCOUNT.

State of Minnesota, County Of st.
Louis, SIS.
IN PROBATE COURT.
In the Matter of the Estate of George
PiSkur, Decedent.
The Petition of Paul Buccowich Sr. as
representative of the above named de-
cedent, together with his supplemental
final account of the administration
of said estate having been duly filed
in this Court, representing, among
other things that he has fully ad-
ministered said estate, and praying
that said supplemental final account
of said administration be examined,
adjusted and allowed by the Court,
and that the Court make and enter
its final decree of distribution of the
residue of the estate of said decedent
to the persons entitled thereto, and for
the discharge of the said representa-
tive and the sureties on his bond.
It Is Ordered, That said petition be
heard, and said supplemental final
account examined, adjusted, and if
correct, allowed by the Court, at the
Probate Court Rooms in the Court
House, in the City of Duluth in said
County, on Monday, the 30th day of
June, 1880, at ten o'clock A. M, and
all persons interested in said hearing
and in said matter are hereby cited
and required at said time and place
to show cause, if any there be, why
said petition should not be granted.

served by publication in The Ely Miner

are put up at any place where traffic
conditions require. The increase in
sight travel has made it necessary
to use the more expensive reflector
and blinker signs on some of the more
heavily travelled routes and at impor-
tant junction points. Old signs must
be reprinted
Putting up, repairing and repaint-
ing signs gives one man full-time
job in each of the sixteen maintenance
districts. From 1921 to 1929, inclusive,
the department spent $640,410 for signs
and their upkeep. But if you stop to
think that by following the highway
numbers it is possible to drive from
Ely to any point in the state without
stopping to ask directions, it is evident
that the sign system saves its cost
many times over. Many car owners
who have used the highways both be-
fore and after the trunk highway plan
was put into effect say that the mark
ing system alone is worth all their
auto license costs them.
