Reports of Rabbit
Operations Too Rosy
Says Mine Manager
F. A. Emanuelson Declares
Construction Program
First in Line.
NO IMMEDIATE WORK
New Owners Say 100000
Needed to Rehabilitate
Present Plant.

According to F. A Emanuelson, resi-
dent manager of the property formerly
worked by the Mesabi Iron Company
at Rabbit and last week leased to the
Reserve Mining company, subsidiary of
the Oglebay-Norton company of Cleve-
land, there is no likelihood that opera
tons will be commenced in the very
near future.
This statement is made in order that
men seeking work may not be en-
couraged to go to Babbitt in a fruitless
search for job at the present time.
Eventually the Rabbit holdings viii

that quite program of construction
and rehabilitation of the present plant
facilities will first have to be made.
Mr.. Emanueison states that he would
like it made public quite emphaticaIIy
that at present no additions to the
seven men at the plant will be made
although the first statements of the
lease appearing in the papers of the
country were by implication too ROSY.
The seven at present employed have
been there since the plant closed in
1924. The rosy news of the lease carried
the presumption of quite immediate

was completed last week when officials
of the latter corporation exercised a
100-day option which would have ex-
pired on November 2. The official
papers closing the deal were at once
filed with the register of deeds.
Negotiations for the leasing of the
plants and holdings of the MeSabi Iron
company were made by R. c. Allen.

the Oglebay- Norton interests who is
president Of the Reserve company. It
was mostly on the suggestion Of Mr..
Allen that the property deal was made.
The actual transfer of the holdings
were made at Rabbit to which locality
officials of the interested firms motored
from Duluth. They included A. C.

company; R. B. Hindle.

Iron company, and william Harrison.

ing in the cafeteria of the Community
Center at which over fifty people were
present.
|. A turkey banquet was prepared by

mented the band on the excellent show
ings made on their trips to neighboring

firing work of Director Frank v. DiNino

best, if net the best, on the ranges.

had noticed in the band

leadership to attain a high standard in
the world of music by strict application
to the task set before them.

citing some early history of musical or
carnations and bands in Ely, deplored
the lack of a band shell at the city
park which would add greatly to the
enjoyment of the listeners at the weekly
band concerts.

the banquet were Aldermen Joseph
Spreitzer, Joseph MilkoVich. Archie
Hedloff and John Debeltz, Barney Ag-
new, City Clerk Knutson, Treasurer

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

When the agitation was on in the
Minnesota legislature, favoring the
Weber-Carley BILL range cities were in
an uproar and delegations from the
mining district hot-footed to st. Paul
to protest the passage of the measure
destined to restrict spending of tax
monies and place this section on per
capita basis along with other parts Of
the state.
The delegations promised faithfully
that if given another chance, the fl
ancial affairs would be put in order and
that an interim committee should be
named to study the matter thoroughly
before final recommendations were
presented to the legislature. Those
appearing before the legislature at the
time were prominent and influential
men of the several range communities
to be affected by the measure. Their
reasons were accepted and the pro-
uosed legislation was side-tracked for
the time being. The mining towns were
given a chance to put their houses in
order" as per the promises made.
Eight members of the eleven-man
interim committee were named before
the session closed and three were to be
named by Governor StasSen, later. The
eight originally chosen were Senator F
j. Miller of Little Falls, chairman OF
the senate tax committee; Senator j
v. Weber, Slayton; Senator William
Weitz, LeSueur, and Senator Carl j
Neumeir, saltwater, all influential ano
fair-m minded men, along with Represen-
tatives R. G. johnson, Forest Lake
Joseph j. Daun, st. Peter; A. J. Powers
Wahnomen, and John A. Hartle, Owa-
tonna, also considered men of excellent
judgement.
On october 10, Governor Stasser
named three to complete the com
mittee to study iron ore taxation anC
tax problems in conformity with Jht
resolution adopted by the 1899 session

Those who were fortunate

Secretary of Interior, Harold
Ickes, gave Miss Anderson a very
timely introduction. In it, he brief

the wrld's greatest c~ontralto. She
has risen from a poor Negro tenant
section of Philadelphia, Penn to
the worlds greatest conralto. She
has sung before kings and queens.
Arturo Toscanni told Miss Ander-
son that a voice like hers is heard
only once in a lifetime or one
hundred years.
Mr.. Ickes also pointed out how
significant that it was for Miss
Anderson to stand at the foot of
the Lincoln Memorial and sing,
because it was under Lincoln's adj
ministration that this possibility
was made that she may sing be-
fore such an audience as a free
