WANTS Gees TO
LOOK FOR GOLD
J. j. Opsahl, an Old Timer,
Suggests Mineral Training
for Boys In Camps.

| A suggestion has been made by j. j
OpSahl, well known in this section and
now employed as executors agent fol
the Chas. F. Ruggles estate, which
viii bear looking into. The suggestion
IS fathered by the activity now being
shown in the exploration for gold along
the Vermilion River and the northern
border area. On the subject he has
the following to say:
Since in the latter 70's gold has been
hunted for in southern Ontario and
the northern border area of Minnesota
and in the gold bearing quartz rocks
there are other valuable mineral re-
sources that can be developed along
with gold, the following suggestions are
made:
Tributary 10 the Orr district there
are several &C camps where hundreds
of young men ae being given health, as
well as outdoor and forestry training
Among these hundreds of young men
there are fair percentage that would
like to take up the actual studies of
mining and mineralology as their LIES
work if given chance by Uncle Sam
AN appeal has been made to President
Roosevelt asking that he have General
Fechner and others, set aside from
the nearest CCC camps crews Is per
cant r31rriy,r tr,o S1ry,,y,oor IF 1Q2A ,,ro,-
volunteer enlistment for training in
Minnesota mineralology, exploration
and test-pitting for gold quartz in
northern ST. Louis county, the same to
be backed up by some spirit of in
tereSted volunteer technical students
from West Point and the Minnesota
University of Mines, as technical
teachers and leaders"
The scheme Of Mr.. Opsahl and those
interested does not look at all visionary
Private interests have been at work on
gold exploration projects in that
country for years and in 1894 a gold
rush was staged. At that time trans
portation to the Vermilion River
Rainy Lake and Seine River Country
was led by way of Tower over Lake
Vermilion TO the dam and then over
the Crane Lake portage to Harding and
from there north.
Gold was found in several places but
the Seine River district is the only one
that survived and today mines are
working in that section and sections
farther north. Some gold was taken
from the Little American mine located
on an island in Rainy Lake. Some
prospecting was also done on the Yer
million River outcrops at that time
Since then a company has been pros
pecting on the Vermilion River with
satisfactory results, it IS claimed
Charles Eden, well known in this city
is the manager of the company re-
ferred to which was recently granted a
permit to sell stock for development
purposes by the State Securities Com
mission.

MINING COMPANIES file
ANSWER In TAX SUIT
Charge Partially and Hostile Discrimination Against Mine
Owners and That Taxes Are Unequal and Excessive
Neutral Judge Preside.

Declaring that the present assessed
value OF mining lands is "a hostile dis.
elimination" against the owners and
that the taxes are partial, unequal ana
excessive" the Oliver Iron Mining com.
pany and other subsidiaries of ths
United States Steel corporation anc
five independent mining companie:
have filed answers in district court
against delinquent tax proceedings.
Filing of the answers opened the way
for the actual trial of the cases. In
dications are the trial viii continue fol
several months and that judge from
another district will be asked to pre-
side.
Taxes totaling 81, 729, 407.17 are in
volved in the proceedings against the
Oliver Iron Mining company and four
teen other subsidiary companies of the
United States Steel corporation. That
amount represented the last half of the
1892 taxes on property in nineteen iron
range communities, not including Hib-
bing, Ely and the township of Stuntz
The answers assert that the tax
levies and assessments violate provisions
Of the Fourteenth amendment Of the
United States Constitution which for
bids any state to deprive any person
of property without due process Of law,
or TO deny to any person the equal
protection of the laws"
Independent mining companies which
also filed answers are: Republic Steel
Corporation, Hanna Ore Mining COM
pany, Corrigan-McKinney Steel COM
pany, Snyder Mining company and the
st. James Mining company.
This action is the only way to bring
about a contest wherein appropriate
defenSes may be interpoSed in delin-
quent tax proceedings, according to
President SalSich of the Oliver Iron
Mining company.
In addition to the taxes, penalties
totaling thousands of dollars are in
volved. The mining companies by their
suit ask that the tax judgments be set
aside, the assessments be lowered and
the penalties. interest and costs of the
suit be Cancelled.
In other words the companies ask
that taxes be reduced and that lower
amount be assessed, less the amount
paid for the first half and less penal
ties, interest and court costs.
The United States Steel corporation
will be represented by its legal staff,
headed by Elmer F. Blu and Clarence
j. Hartley. Mr.. Blu also will represent
the Republic Steel and the Hanna Ore
Mining companies. The law firm of
Mitchell, Gillette, Nye & Harries viii
represent the other independent firms.
Defendants attorneys also included
the st. Paul legal firm of KeHog, Nor
gan, Chase, Garter & Headley.
Representing the governing bodies
viii be Thomas j. Naylor, county at
torney, and C. E. Adams, special county
board counsel, for st. Louis county, and
members of the state attorneys staff
for the state of Minnesota. Special
counsel representing the interest of
iron range communities viii assist the
county attorney.

Now comes the r. F. C. with
a plan to make loans direct to
industrial and commercial
firms on notes, rediscounts, or

to limit the loans direct to COM

Among the names being
banded about the state for
Governor on the Republican
ticket are those of Charles E.
Elmquist of St. Paul; Martin
Nelson of Austin; Representa-
tive r. w. Hitchcock of Hib-
bling; Senator A. J. Rockne of
Zumbrota, and Samuel B. Will
son, former chief justice of the
supreme court. Any one of
those mentioned would make a
fine governor. One of these
on a ticket with Mike Holm,
secretary of state, Stafford
King, state auditor, and Julius
Schmahl, state treasurer, would
create a set of officers anyone
could tie to without being
ashamed of themselves.

The Senate on Tuesday
passed with a unanimous vote,
the S10,OO0,0OO fire sufferers
bill introduced by Senator Ship
stead. The House will vote on
the measure tomorrow and it is
expected to pass overwhelming
ly. 1t is also the opinion that
President Roosevelt will sign
the bill when put before him.
This bill has been before Con-
gress for the past eight years
and has been persistently
worked for by Senator Ship
stead. Congressman Pittenger
during his term in office was
also a persistent worker in the
interests of the fire sufferers.
The 100000 will come to
the fire sufferers of 1913 at a
time when it is most needed.
The Miner hopes that those
who lost their all in the devast-
ating conflagration of 1913 will
get every cent due them in
case the measure is passed.
This was not the case when
settlement was made with the
government shortly after the
fire.

On This
Occasion

Just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-03-23

The St. Lawrence Seaway
Treaty was hit a most disloyal
slap by the senate but like
Banco's ghost, will not down.
The proponents, assisted by
President Roosevelt, have or
ganized for another fight. 1t
is expected that the eastern
states dominated by powerful
financial interests having large
investments in power and rail-
road properties, coupled with
a few of the midwest senators,
will continue the fight against
the treaty. That the St. Law
renee will be built is almost a
settled fact. Canada, always
wide-awake to Canadian in
terests, will build the waterway
in time. After that all the U.
S. can do is pay toll and look
over blasted hopes.
The St. Lawrence Seaway
would have been built were it
not for the powerful interests
that opposed it. The waterway
is a logical development that
has met the test of exhaustive
engineering and economic in
vestigation by both Canada and
the United States for over thirty
years, says Russell Henry in the
Duluth Herald. In addition,
five American presidents, Re-
publicans and Democrats, ap-
proved it and it was further
Endorsed by the national con-
ventions of both parties.
