Fred B. James Outlines Early
History of Ely on Jaysee
Assembly Program.

Splicing his talk with many interest
ing anecdotes concerning pioneer resi-
dents, Fred B. James, city assessor, gave
a sketch of the early history Of Ely at
the Junior College assembly, Friday
Himself member of the crew that
surveyed the original townsite of Ely in
April and May, 1887, Mr.. James at that
time had been resident of the Strug-
Cling settlement for about a year. He
is now one of the oldest living residents.
F. W. Kinney was the original pro-
moter of the city of Ely, the speaker
said In 1885 Mr.. Kinney laid out the
Spaulding townsite and advertised it
extensively throughout the East, selling
lots for hunting and fishing Shacks.
At that time the railroad ended at
Tower, and people coming here faced
20-mile trip that required six days to
complete. Rations for many of the
guides, which the traveller had to sup
ply, consisted of two loaves of bread
and a quart of whiskey, the speaker
said.
The first building erected was put ur
by Captain H. R. Harvey on what is
now the site of the Fenske Hardware
and Furniture company. 1t served as
a postoffice, and Fred Fifield was the
first postmaster, appointed in 1887.
At that time the postoffice and the
surrounding community went by tht
name of Florence, but Minnesota, anc
Wisconsin, too, already had villages b!
this name, so it proved confusing. Tht
name was then changed to Ely in honor

Gradually the old time railroad men,
who have been on the Duluth Missabe
and Iron Range Road, are being re-
tired with a pension and the ranks
of the old timers whose faces have been
familiar to the patrons of the roads, are
being replaced with men who have
worked their way up to the positions of
trust in which they have been placed.
On April 1st, Thomas Mclaughlin of
this city was retired from the position
of yard foreman which he held for the
past "a years. Mr. Mclaughlin went to
work with the Duluth & Iron Range
on June II, 1900, as sWitchman in the
yards here On March 20, 1905, he was
promoted to yardmaster.
Bebore going to the railroad Mr.. Nc
Laughlin was in the cigar manufactur-
ing business in Ely where he made the
"City Hall" cigar Upon entering the
service of the road the cigar business
was discontinued. He came to Ely from
Anoka, in 1898, and at once took a
prominent part in athletic and civic
events, being member of the Ely base
ball team and of the running team of
the fire department, in the latter being
the coupler for the events.
Mr. and Mrs. Mclaughlin were away
in California at the time the retirement
became effective. A banquet honoring
the event was being prospected at that
time but was postponed until tonight
at the Forest hotel at which several Of
the high officials of the road will be
present.
Robert Hastings of Two Harbors has
been named yardmaster here to the
place vacated by Mr.. Mclaughlin. Mr..
Hastings, now here on the job, expects
to move his family from Two Harbors
to this city about May 10.
The Oldest man in point of service
on the D. M. & I. r., Harry G. Skinner,
made his last run on Sunday and on
May 1st was retired on pension after
40 years of service with the road.

travelling public and while he will be
missed by large number of patrons,

able to go to high attitudes. He also

help of the young people.

DEATH CALLS
JAS. NANkERvIS
Ely Old Timer and Veteran
Mining Man Passed Away
With Heart Attack.

It was with considerable of shock
that the many friends of Captain James
Nankervis learned on Friday morning
that he had passed away the night be-
fore at the home of his son, Douglas
Nankervis, 81 East Harvey street, of a
heart attack.
Captain Jim" as he was familiarly
known by his acquaintance, had re-
tired early on Thursday evening. FRI
day morning when his son went to his
room to call him for breakfast, he found
his father had died during the night.
Indications showed that death had come
while he slept. DR.. McCarty, when
called, stated that heart failure was
the cause of death which had come to
Mr.. Nankervis about ten hours before.
william James Nankervis was born
in st. Ives, Cornwall, England, on jan
uary oath, 1870. He attended school in
his home town and was graduated as
a surveyor. He emigrated to this
country in 1889 and went to Ishpeming,
Michigan, where he remained one year,
coming to this city in 1890.
He was employed at the Chandler
mine for several years and later with
the Oliver Iron Mining company in
terests as mining captain in this city.
He was retired in 1882 after 40 years of
service with the company.
Surviving are one son and two
daughters. The son is Douglas, chief

of Samuel B. Ely of Michigan, per-
sonal friend of Captain Harvey.
Captain Harvey played an important
part in the early history of the new
mining town in the days when tall white
pine lowered majestically over the en-
tire area He is credited by the U. S.
geological survey as having found out
groupings of ore near here in 1883.
When ore was discovered in Elys
first mine, the Chandler, it was only a
few feet below the surface, Mr.. James
said, and open-pit methods were en-
ployed in taking it out. Later it was
found necessary to sink shafts.
Shafts No. l and No. 2, which 10
Gated the ore in the Chandler, were put
down in 1887, and the first ore was
shipped out year later when the rail-
road was completed to the city.
With the coming of the railroad to
Ely, the East took a keen interest in
the mining town, Mr.. James stated. A
photographer for the New York Graphic
made a trip here and took many pic
lures. The speaker displayed a number
of them, including a view of the
Chambers open pit operations and one
of the old James Drug Store building
Included in the group of persons stand
ing in front of the building was At
torney A. j. Thomas, another pioneer
resident.
The Lucky Boy mine at the west END
of the Chandler property was just q

listeners. Other smaller pockets were
discovered when the sewer was laic
along Third avenue west, he said.

ELY'S
WPA QUOTA TO
BE UNALTERED
Two City Projects and One for
Fourth District Providing
40 Men Work.

Ely's WPA quota will be effected very
little if at all by the cut in WPA rolls
ordered by federal authorities, persons
familiar with the situation, report to
the Miner.
The fact that most of the single men
on the rolls have been transferred to
the forestry project on the Fernberg
road, is cited as one reason for this
contention. Another is that several
married men were added only last week.
Nearly all of the men working on the
two city and one county projects are
married, it is pointed out If any size
able cut is made in Ely's quota, it
would have to include married men.
WPA officials for the Duluth district
have received orders to slash LOO jobs
off the payroll by Monday. Most Of
these cuts will be made in St. Louis
county, it is believed.
Persons eliminated from WPA would
face direct relief, it is believed, be-
cause there would be slight chance of
private employment here absorbing
them.
Here is the present situation insofar
as Ely is concerned:
Fifty-one men are employed on the
city's sewer project on Seventh avenue
east and SO on the sidewalk project, a
total of 81.
Fifty-three are working on the Van
Vac road job, a county project. Both
total 140 men. (There are total of
$50 men employed on county WPA road
work in the Fourth commissioner dis
trict).
Orders for 81 Ely men, most of them
single, to report to work Friday on the
forest services ERA crew building the
road into Moose Lake were received by
the local office Wednesday morning.
WPA labor is being used. This will
make total of 35 local men working
on the job.
The forest service had requisitioned
% men and received 81. Since the pro-
ject is in Lake county, they will be in
cluded in Lake County's WPA quota.
A total of ITS Ely men are employed
on WPA projects including those in this
vicinity and on the Moose Lake job.
L. j. Heasley, Virginia, area replace
ment officer, has informed school dis
trict No. II that there are no men avail
able for reopening the WPA fence build
ing project on, the east edge of the
Memorial school grounds, school off,
cials state. The project was closed down
last fall with the intention of reopening
it this spring.

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

The Supreme Court has
struck down in a few care
fully chosen words, the legal
fiction which has resulted in
the setting up of a privileged
class among American tax
payers. For nearly three quar-
ters of a century the court has
clung to the doctrine that there
was an implied constitutional
immunity which prevented the
federal government from tax
ing salaries of state employees
and the states from taxing the
incomes of federal workers.
The result was that state,
county and municipal employees
were exempt from state income
taxes. In overruling the cases
which had established this i'm
munity, the court made it clear
that it was not opening the door
to taxation of a state or its
agencies by the federal govern
ment, or vice versa, which
would in fact cripple its legiti-
mate operations. Including as
it does that reservation, the
opinion is eminently sound and
demonstrates once again that it
has judicial interpretations and
not the Constitution itself
which, from time to time, have
lent color to the claim that the
document is not sufficiently
