utes of dealings.
The selling was said to have been
touched off when the local market
learned that earlier prices in London
had failed to follow Mondays swift
rise here. A long upward move in
both centers was thought by some
experts to have brought the markets
into an "overbought' position.
After the initial break prices climbed

BAR GROUP
VOTE JUDGES
Judges Freeman, Grannis and
Kenny Endorsed by 18th
District Bar Assn. I

Overwhelming endorsement of the
three incumbent judges of the Eleventh
Judicial District for reelection at the
November election were voted by the
lawyers of the district bar association
in special referendum conducted last
week and announced by the aSsoci-
atoms special campaign committee.
The committee is composed of Edwin
A. Martini, o. J. Larson, E. L. Fogarty,
Philip M. Stone, j. E. McKenna, Helmer
Frankson and Rollo F. Hunt, chairman.
After all the nominations have been
made for district judges and filings
have been closed, the bar association
takes a vote from all the lawyers in the
district, whether members of the associ-
alton or not to determine their opinions
as to the best candidates and those de-
serving their support.
This ballot is taken in such a manner
that neither the present sitting judges
nor anyone else can know how any
particular lawyer voted. The result of
this ballot determines whom the bar
association will support for election.
The candidates selected are recon-
mended to the voters and committee
of the bar association formed to further
their candidates..
In the ballot taken last week, ITO
votes were cast. Judge Freeman re-
ceived 167; Judge Grannis, 1853, and
Judge Kenny, 157. The other candi-
dates in the race received % and Is

MORE PAVING
HIGHWAY 1863
Bids Called for October 9 for
So More Miles Paving on
Tower-Virginia Road.

Bids ON paving and grading on T. H.
No. 1859, between and 1512 miles north
east of Virginia, of length of SO miles
comprising Sill 900 cubic yards of ex-
cavation, 46, 40 square yards of con-
crete pavement and extension of three
monolithic culvertS have been called for
by Commissioner Elsberg of the State
Highway department.
The bids are called for October 9th
in addition to highway construction jobs
estimated to cost approximately 81 1885,
OOO The projects cover nine counties.
The paving job on 169 will complete
the paving between Tower and Viz
ginia with the exception of about 5
miles Laying of the concrete is not
expected to start until spring but other
work will begin this fall.
The contract to be let on Highway
1859 will be step in the right direction
and with the other five miles remaining
unpaved done later in the season, will
put this road in good condition.
With the general attitude prevailing
against the jerky paving contracts on
the road between here and Tower and
the desperate detour mileage necessary
to cover the twenty-five miles, the sug-
geStion has been made that the state
make yearly appropriations to remain
in the treasury until enough is at hand
to finish the unpaved portion at one
time
While Ely is thankful for the three
miles paved between here and the
junction of the Grant McMahan Boule-
ward which was opened to travel last
Saturday, the fact nevertheless remains
that tourist traffic has suffered during
the time this stretch was being laid as
the detours necessitated a distance Of
over Is miles to enter or leave the city.
Should it be the policy of the high
way department to pave three miles or
so yearly, it is plain to be seen that
much longer and more circuitous de-
tours will be required covering matter
of about ten years before the 10 miles
of unpaved portion is completed.
It is for this reason that the sug-
gestion has been offered to delay the
paving until the entire distance can be
dore in one year. Unfortunately paving
operations are in progress at the height
of the tourist season and the business of
the resorts and the cities suffer accord
ingly.
Those who have made the suggestion
have estimated that four or five at the
most, and possibly three years, would
be required to accumulate a fund to do
the work all at one time. Naturally,
this would necessitate some financial
strategy on the part of the department
unless it decided forget the money and
complete the job at one operation. !,
which also could be done, if the depart =
ment was so disposed. i

The Archimedes Principle

The loss of weight of body sub

ordered by Hero, king of Syracuse,
to find whether a goldsmith had
mixed silver with the gold used
In making a crown. To do this
without destroying the crown was

while Archimedes was at the public
bath, he noticed that his body was
ouoyed up by the water in which it
was submerged. Seeing in this the

Death CALLS
RANGE PIONEER
Edward Lynch, Well Known
Here, Died in a Duluth
Hospital, Sept. IA.

Pneumonia claimed Edward Lynch in
a Duluth hospital last week after very
short illness. The first intimation his
many friends in Duluth and ON the
ranges knew of his illness was coupled
with the news Of his death. His pass
ing removes another of the old guard
of intrepid explorers who travelled the
old Vermilion trail between Duluth and
the ranges before the construction of
the railroad He was 10 years of age.
He was well known in this city when
he was interested in the Section Thirty
mine and spent much time here during
the Development of the property. He
was unassuming but very friendly and
during his stay in Ely made many
friends. He was an ex-president of the
Vermilion Range Old Settlers associ-
alton.
Skillings' Mining Review, in its last
issue, gave an historic account of the
eventful life of deceased when it stated:
'The late Edward Lynch arrived in
Duluth from Saginaw, Mich, in the
late seventies. He was one of the units
"
and woodsworkers that swept into nor
thern Minnesota for period of years,
and he was one of the early corners.
He was young man then, perhaps not
more than 20. Mr.. Lynch was man of
fine physique, and the fighting instinct
of his race. 1T is tradition that he
subdued numerous woods or trail DULLES
during the earlier years of his career.
Mr.. Lynch made many trips over the
Vermilion trail, at first in the en-
ployment of timber seekers, and ex-
plorers, and in later years on his own
account, for he knew the work of look
ing over timber. 1t was in those days
that Mr.. Lynch became acquainted with
R. B. Whiteside, James Sheridan, Mar
tin Pattison and so many others who
were both timber1nen and explorers, for
the reports of the presence of iron ore
on the Vermilion were in circulation.
MIR. Lynch took a claim near Tower
under the presumption law of those days
He filed on it in June, 1880. The claim
carried good stand of timber and sur
face indications of iron ore. He Sold
the claim after acquiring title to George
C. Stone of Duluth for $685. This was
destined to be historic ground, for the
land contained what has long been
known as the Soudan iron mine. The
Soudan iron mine was the pioneer ship
per from Minnesota, and continues to
be an important underground mine.
after more than half a century of pro-
duction. 1t is recalled that upon the
10th anniversary of the Soudan that
its surface plant was modernized at
large expenditure of money. George C.
Stone was one of the ardent believers in
the future of the Vermilion range rs
producer of iron ore The land he
purchased from Mr.. Lynch and others
found its way in the course of events
into the Minnesota Iron Co., and now
one of the units of the Oliver Iron
Mining company.
''The late Mr.. Lynch became in
terested in many timber and mineral
land deals. 1t is recalled that he was
interested along with the late A. NJ
Chisholm, DR.. H. j. Conner and D. M
Philbin in development of the famous

solely from the standpoint of the good
of the state as whole.
The state is not static. Rev activities
are constantly being proposed, new pro-
posals present themselves and must
sometimes be adopted, but our spending
spree must be ended and from this
time forth we must judge every expendi-
ture by the standards of economy and
practicability. The state must pay it's
debt, and not out of the permanent
school fund, and get back to a sound
pay-as-you-go basis of finance.
