GRANITE
QUARRY OPENS
Shipments Begin on Contract to
Supply Pearl Granite for
Cincinnati, Ohio.

A car was spotted on Tuesday morn
ing to be loaded with the first of twenty
cars or more of the Pearl granite
quarried at the mine of the Arrowhead
Granite Company on the Ely-Finland
road about Is miles south of the city.
The granite will be trucked to Ely
and loaded on cars to be transported
to st. Cloud where it will be finished
for building purposes and used on a
structure in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Work at the quarry has been going
on for the past two weeks in getting
out the blocks. The transportation of
the blocks is somewhat of a problem
as they weigh over a ton each. The
bridges along the route between the
quarry and Ely up to this year were
not capable of bearing as heavy loads
as the trucks were capable of hauling,
but with the construction of an en-
tirely new bridge over the Kawishiwi
at the Halfway and the strengthening
of the Birch Lake dam it is conceded
that larger loads can be hauled and
the quarrying facilitated.
The granite is what is known as the
Swedish pearl gray and is found In
only a few places in the United States.
Until discovered in America, Sweden
was the only producer of this grade of
stone, hence the name was tackled to

The local contingent of four Boy
Scouts will leave Saturday for Hibbing
where they join the range troops to
participate in the Boy Scout Jamboree
of the World at Washington, D. c., from
June 80 to July 9.
The Ely group is composed of Charles
Strachan and Robert Carlson of Troop
I'll, Clarence and Harold Robertson of
Troop 172. Mr.. Strachan is the son Of
Mr. and Mrs. B. 0. Strachan; Mr.. Carl
son is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Byron
Carlson and the MeSSrs Robertson are
the sons of Mr.. and Mrs. G. E. Robert
son.
At Hibbing they will join 119 boys of
the HeadwaterS Area for the Washing
ton trip In honor of the Headwaters
contingent a parade will take place at
Hibbing on Saturday morning followed
by luncheon sponsored by the Hibbing
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
The party will travel by special train
to the Twin Cities and leave Hibbing at
LOS P. NJ In the Twin Cities they will
be joined by other groups of northwest
troops. Special trains will convey all
to Washington where they expect to
arrive on Monday.
Jack Schirmer of Hibbing is the
Scoutmaster of troop to be known
as Jamboree Troop No. 8, of which
the Ely boys will be members. Charles
Strachan is the assistant ScoutmaSter
with Harold Robertson as the troop
scribe.
Troop is indeed fortunate in having
heads of the ability of Mr.. Schirmer
and Mr.. Strachan and there is not a
particle of doubt but what the work of
the scribe will be well taken care of.
With 119 virile young men in their
charge, the officers will have their work
cut out for them.
Arrangements are being completed in
Washington for over $4,000 Scouts from
all parts of the world. A tent city has
been erected on the banks of the
Potomac where they will be housed
during their stay. The tent city will be
modern in every respect with all the
latest facilities to make the stay most
pleasant one.
The Jamboree will in all probability
prove an event in the lives of the
Scouts not duplicated in their history
Arrangements had been made last year
for larger attendance for this city

WPA SPEEDS
ROAD JOB
City Workers Taken From
Projects and Placed on
Highway No. FL.

At the request of W. G. McDonnough,
area director of the WPA, and Com
missioner Joseph VeFanth, 81 men were
taken from the city water and sewer
and No. 35 Highway projects and placed
on the Moose Lake and Highway 81
project to speed up work and give Ely
one of the finest main highways from
the Mesaba range, Embarrass and Birch
Lake districts.
The project sought to be completed at
the earliest possible time is the $45 900
grading and blacktopping of the Moose
lake road and Highway 81, covering Is
miles in the Fourth Commissioner dis
| trict. The shortage of labor and the
necessity of getting WPA work on the
project threatened to delay the COM
pletion
The cooperation of the Ely city coun-
Gil was sought with the result that men
were taken from city projects which
will delay these and placed on the
grading and blacktopping in order to
have this completed as rapidly as pos
sible. The completion is also sought
to assist travel from the Mesaba range
to Ely and obviate the long detour on
169 now necessary.
Commissioner Veranth has promised
that he would assist the city at the
completion of the road work at the end
of the six weeks expected to complete
the project, by transferring his WPA
crew to,the uncompleted city work and
rush the same to completion.
City Engineer Somero informed the
Miner that with the augmented crew
later in the season the city will be able
to finish their work more expeditiouSly
Twenty men were taken from the sewer
and water project and II from the Sec
| ton Is road project.
