EARLY FRUIT HURT
IN CENTRAL WEST
North Pacific and Some Areas in
Appalachian Mountains
Also Are Affected.

BY the Associated Press
The Weather Bureau reports that
cold weather and frost last week dam
aged early fruits considerably in the
Central West, the North Pacific area
and some sections of the Appalachian
Mountains.
The bureau said yesterday it was too
early to fully appraise frost losses, but
that the greatest harm was done in the
Southern Ohio Valley, especially in
Kentucky and Southern Illinois, and
in Missouri and Kansas.
Elsewhere the colder weather served
to retard vegetation which had ad-
vanced far ahead of normal.
In a summary Of March weather.
the bureau said the month was marked
by uniformly high temperatures and
above normal precipitation rarely dup
heated in recent years. The month
was unusually wet in the Ohio Valley
and the lower great plains, where pre-
clpitation was from $50 to more than
300 per cent of normal.

NEW YORK, April 7.-One Of the
most promising buds in this springs
outcropping of hopeful industrial
signs, trade analysts say, is the stead
lily rising trend of machine tool orders.
Demand for machine tools on the
part of domestic companies in March
was reported to have improved mod
erately for the second consecutive
month.
This marks the first time since the
recovery peak was touched last April
that orders have been stepped up two
months running.
The volume of precision instruments
required by industry is closely fol-
lowed by economists as a sensitive
barometer of factory operations. In
1929, for example, machine tool or
ders hit their boom-time high in Feb
ruary-and by September had slumped
% per cent-some time before trade
or the stock market toppled.
The rising trend since January Is
conSldered favorable omen Tor IN
dustrial activity during the next few
months by some analysts. The highly
mechanical nature of manufacturing
processes today. they hold, means that
a resumption of more normal operat-
ing schedules requires heavy outlays
for so-called machine tools.
The main reason. of course, is that
the pace of industrial development is
so rapid obsolescence quickly outmodes
old equipment.
The huge volume of foreign orders
received by domestic machine tool
makers last fall as the world turned
seriously to the business of rearm;ng,
took up the slack created by sliding
consumption in this country. From
roundly one-quarter Of the total early
Evening star., 1938-04-07

in 1887, foreign demand jumped to be-
tween half and two.thirds in the clos
ing months OF the year.
In February, however, orders from
abroad dropped approximately two
thirds from the previous month to the
lowest level since June, 1886. Trade
sources indicate this probably does
not mean any cessation in the drive
to build up military machines in the
old world, but rather a normal decline
after five months in which orders
reached unusually high levels
Domestic business in the first quar-
ter was the smallest snice the third
period Of 1884, at substantially lower
level than industrial activity gen.
orally.
This is to be expected. Machine
tool orders drop more than business
during recession, and advance more
sharply in period Of recovery, being

at all, that would be pure velvet for
them.
In other words, the promoters win,
"dry or wet" but the speculator-in
vestor pays a high price for mineral
rights on a long-shot gamble. One
district in Pennsylvania on which
such warrants are now being peddled
to hopeful investors" is near one OF
the oldest oil fields in the United
/ States. As one experienced man told
the writer, II can't imagine one spot
in the county that hasn't been 'geolo-
gized' to death; and, If there is any
such spot, can't imagine some little,
unknown promoter getting it."
No One Can BE Sure.
But the reason the public continues
to bite on long chances is that no one
can be sure. There is the case Of the
man who drilled IA dry holes down
near Oil City, Pa, and went broke
on the last hole. Then along came
another man and drilled the one the
busted wild-catter had laid out for
his next and brought in a 5O-barrel
well, which is ''guSher" in PennSyl-
vania.
And the story is told Of couple
of former transatlantic card sharpers
who had little oil company they were
juggling along, with everything but
likely acreage. When the authorities
got too hot on their trail, they got
hold of mineral rights on some acreage
decided to an institution by the State
of Texas. They brought in gusher,
but they didn't give it to the suckers.
They set up another oil company for
themselves, and eventually stock in
that concern sold as high as $4,000 a
share. That's the lure that makes
people looney with their hard-earned
savings.

OIL STOCK SALES
CONTINUE PROFITS
Lease Plan Is Working Out
to the Advantage of
Promoters.
liy J. G.. DONLEY.

special D1SpatCn TO Inc StaT.
NEW YORK, April THE public
Is always willing to bite on a long
chance. and the oil business is that
kind of business. because, no matter
how much "geologizing' is done, no
one is able to say definitely that a
given piece of acreage won't pour forth
black gold some day.
That is why. despite the efforts of
the S. E. c. in its spectacular en-
counter some time ago with one of the
big sellers of Oil royalties, such royal
ties are today being sold in just as
large quantities as they ever were.
And some say that more royalties than
ever are being marketed.
Some variations are being pulled on
the royalty selling plan. Two men,
active in the Oil fields for a number of
years, are selling leases-acreage If
dry holes are the ultimate result. the
buyer of acreage has the land on long
term lease, at least.
Buys Only Mineral Rights.
A variation on the oil-lease plan is
now being worked by some promoters
who formerly sold oil royalties The
prospect may think that he is buying
acreage, unless he understands the
language of the prospectus; but he is
actually buying only the mineral rights
What the speculator-investor gets for
his money is mineral rights deed
rights to all the minerals or oil that
he or his agents can find under the
surface Of the land.
If the test wells drilled turn out to
be dry holes" the farmer goes On
farming his land and the Speculator-
investor goes on hoping that some
other venture will pan out better.
But for the promoters it is more
or less of a sure-thing proposition.
The acreage" to which mineral rights
have been obtained is divided up into
50-acre farms or blocks and, of
each such so acres, the promoters
reserve 10 acres, or 20 per cent, for
themselves, just in case oil should be
struck. Our position" they say, will
be exactly that of all other owners"
Much of 1t Is Velvet.
AS matter of fact there is quite
a difference in the position of the
promoters, because their mineral
rights deed to the 10 acres costs
them nothing. 1t is simple to work
that out They sell the mineral war;
rants at the rate of 81 400 an acre,
which is a pretty high price for PENN
sylvania farm land, even if the smell
of oil is nearby and the farmers can't
sleep for the squeaking of the pump
ing rods. They agree to spend 1915
out of what they get for each acre
to drill one well for every eight acres
sold. That leaves them Sl,025 per
acre to cover costs of selling and
whatnot.
For the 40 acres on which they
sell warrants out of 5O-acre farm"
they collect 4l.000, which is calcu-
lated to oil the troubled waters of any
disappointment they may feel if only
"dry holes" reward their drill crews.
Nobody knows what they may have
paid for the mineral rights to the
land, but that SAL COO should leave
them . pretty good profit in any
event and, If they should find any oil

Safer Winter Flying.

Those who travel on commercial
airplanes can thank rubber for re-
moving one of the serious hazards of
flight. Until the invention of the de-
icer for airplanes, flying under ice
forming conditions was extremely
hazardous and was avoided wherever
they were known to exist. However,
planes sometimes encountered ice with
out warning, and in severe cases have
been forced down within asfeW minutes
from the time it began to form on the
wings. BY covering the leading edges
of the wings, tail surfaces, radio
masts and other affected areas with
rubber and by expanding sections of
the de-icers with air at regular in
tervals. pilots are able to break the
ice off as rapidly as 1t forms and to
fly indefinitely through ice-forming
atmosphere.

Request for $50, 900

Improvements.
$4,000 HALF OF COST
School Board Decides to
Make Further Attempts
for the Grant.

Independent school district No. Il,
has been turned down on its request
for $4,000 PWA grant, according to
a Letter received Monday by Ivan
Tauzel, president of the board, from
PWA headquarters in Washington
There was no explanation as to why the
request was rejected.
It was decided at the regular meet
ing of the board held Monday evening,
to continue to press for the allotment.
InaSmuch as the request for the grant
was made before the deadline which
fell on the last day of September and
the last day for starting projects does
not come until Jan. l, 1899, it is be-
leved that there is still a possibility Of
obtaining the appropriation.
The project included lighting the
football field for night playing, erection
of steel and concrete bleacherS, and
placing new seats in washington au-
ditOrium. The $4,000 represented
about As per cent of the cost, the rest
to be furnished by the school district.
Funds to match the government grant
are available according to Mr.. Tauzell
1t had been planned to build dress
ing rooms and showers in a part of the
bIeachers, facilities which will be need
ed if Junior College football is inau-
gurated here next year, project that
the board acted favorably at its Mon
day evening meeting.
What steps local school officials will
take to induce PWA authorities to make
the grant have not been decided upon.

Forest Service Destroys
Road to Bassuood Lake

The road to Eastwood portage from
the Fernberg road in use by the set
tiers on Eastwood Lake since the be-
ginning of the freezeup and since going
by boat over the lake has made travel
hazardous, is reported to have been put
out of commission entirely on Monday
when the U. S. Forest Service blocked
both ends of the makeshift road
Henry Chosa told reporter that he
was forced to walk the four miles to
the portage on Tuesday when he found
that a caterpillar tractor had been
used to push stumps, stones and earth
onto the road.
He stated that he was on his way
to town to get supplies to his home in
quantities to last until the lakes are
frozen sufficiently to allow travel over
the ice. He also stated that he would
make an effort to have the road open
ed or in the event this is not possible
to demand assistance from the govern
ment for himself and for the ten or
more families marooned at present on
Eastwood.
This trouble between the Forest Ser
vice and the settlers on Eastwood has
been brewing for several years. Re-
peated requests for a road to the por-
tage have been ignored according to
the settlers who also claim that in
order to get control of the right-of-
way, the forestry department has had
the country named as a primitive area
in which no roads are allowed.
The Superior National Forest Off
cialS claim that enough pressure has
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-11-17

been brought to bear on the department
in Washington to have the section iso-
lated by blocking the road in the in
terest of the primitive area sought. The
settlers on the other hand are of the
opinion that the resort properties and
the large number of residents on the
shores of the lake preclude the posi-
bility of its being primitive area.
The blocking of the old lumber days
tote road has brought the matter again
to the fore and Positions and letters
will lombard the forest officials as in
the past.
In the meantime those VINO make
their homes on Eastwood all the year
round are stuck until the lakes freeze
hard enough for travel. Mr. Chosa
lives at the Eastwood end of the port
age and can walk to the Fernberg road
and catch a ride to town, if possible,
he says.

CanUassing Board Totals
Official Vote for Count,

Official figures on Tuesdays election
returns were completed by the board of
canvaSsers for st. Louis County, Mon
day.
Returns a sannounced for the county
gave total vote of $500, an all-time
record for the county, according to
Walter Bergen, county auditor. The
previous high was announced as 96,261
in the 1885 presidential election.
ST. Louis County, while not carrying
Harold StasSen for governor, neverthe-
less contributed towards the triumphant
election of Mr.. StaSsen besides helping
the balance of the state in the election
of the entire Republican state ticket on
Tuesday Nov. 8.
The official count in st. Louis County
also showed william Pittenger leading
John T. Bernard by 1886 votes while in
1886 the totals for the county showed
Bernard with 81 879 and Pittenger with
SO. TAG Or 1898 in favor of Bernard.
The close races for county officers
were those of the county superintendent
of schools and commissioner of the
Fourth district. Arthur Lampe was re-
elected by a margin of 270 votes over
Roy A. Norsted of Eveleth.
Jacob l.. Pete, former commissioner
of the Fourth district, was returned to
the commiSsionership by the narrow
margin of 80 votes, according to the
official canvas.
Another close race was the senatorial
contest in the 61st district which re-
elected George H. Lommen of Eveleth
by majority of 500 or with a total of
1866 over Gust A. Koski of Tower
who polled 1914.
