TO APPRAISE
FOREST area
Ely Men Get Land Inspection
Employment in Kabetogama
Purchase Unit.

Approximately Is men, nearly all of
them from Ely, will be given three
months employment this winter on the
examination work within the Kabe-
togama purchase unit, according to
Ranger Jack Valentine of the La Croix
district.
The inspection is being made for &C
QUESTION purposes, and will cover about
$4,000 acres in the Kabetogama, Nam
akan and Rainy lakes areas. Bob st.
Amant, recently appointed ranger for
this proposed Kabetogama district, will
be in charge of the work. st. Amant
is making his headquarters at Cook.
All of this property is privately owned,
and, after an appraisal has been made,
negotiations for the purchase of the
area will start, Valentine says.
A portion of the Kabetogama pur-
chase unit adjacent to the La Croix dis
trict may be taken over this spring by
the U. S. forest service for fire pro-
lection purposes, Valentine believes.
When the entire unit comes into
possession of the government, it is
planned to make it into three ranger
districts. The Izaak Walton League Of
America, the American Federation Of
Women's clubs, and other organizations
have been active in urging the govern.
ment to purchase this territory and ado
it to the Superior National Forest.

Ore SHIPPING
In full SWING
Pittsburgh Boats of u. S. Steel
Corporation All Set for
Two More Weeks.

The shipping season, supposed to have
ended Saturday, has been extended by
the U. S. Steel corporation for TWO
weeks, the extra weeks beginning
Monday.
At the beginning of the present season
of navigation on the Great Lakes, the
schedule called for the discontinuance
of iron ore transportation at the end
of the month. However, as result
of the constantly growing demand of the
Eastern steel mills, officials announced
extended operations to continue to
November 10.
The open pit mines will continue OPP
erations as will the docks in tine Lake
Superior ports and Pittsburgh fleet
of ore carriers during this period. The
late season operations will continue on
the present scale providing weather
will permit the officials announced and
if favorable weather continues the two
weeks period may be further extended.
The eastern demand for steel has
continued to grow and present indica-
tons are that all mining and trans
portation of ore will continue until
storms and the lakes freeze-up pre-
vent further shipping.
The GA boats of the Pittsburgh COM
pany now in commission are all sched-
uled to continue through the two-week
extension period. All but Is of the
corporations boats have joined the in
dependent fleets in an almost caDacity
movement of iron ore from the Great
Lakes during recent weeks
Other mining companies and boat
lines increased operations Immediately
after hostilities broke out in Europe
two months ago, at which time the
Steel Corporation announced the or
iginal date would be extended.

State Hatchery at TolUer
to Double Plants Output
Construction of Road to Site
Will Allow Hatchery to
Add to Facilities.

Building of a 900-foot spur from
county highway No. 476 into the state
fish hatchery on Pike river west of
Tower will mean that the hatchery will
double its capacity because of the added
transportation facilities, the Miner has
been informed
Two additional batteries will be in
stalled for the Matching of pike spawn,
with the Ely territory's allotment of fry
planned to obtain additional spawn for
the hatchery from Eastwood lake and
perhaps from other lakes in this area.
The hatchery now uses Pike river or
Lake Vermilion for transportation of
fry to point where they can be loaded
on to trucks, but with the completion
of the spur to the new county road,
quick access will be had to points in
this territory.
No. 476 leaves the junction of state
highways No. / and 1859 west of Tower
and circles the west tip of Pike bay to
join No. II, another county road, about
three miles north of the state road
junction. About 900 feet on the nor
thern end remain to be filled and
graveled before it is completed. A
WPA project, the road is expected to
be opened to travel over its entire dis
lance within month.
Work on the spur has started with
WPA workers clearing the right-of-way
The county's power shovel will be used
to provide material for right-of-
with state-owned trucks doing the
hauling.

Yedr-'ROund Recreation to
Be Fateured at ShOlUS.

A 16-foot wide display, depicting in
miniature the year round recreational
appeal of the Minnesota Arrowhead
Country will be the feature exhibit of
this region at four outdoor shows in
1910 expected to attract the attention
of 100000 people.
Typifying the deep, cool lakes of the
Superior National Forest with it's mil
lions of acres of evergreens, birches,
maple and oak, the panamoric display
includes colored photos which are il
Illuminated to give the prospective visi-
tors true picture of the Arrowhead
region
Amidst several cedars, and with a
rustic background, one sees the setting
of cosy summer home sites, timber stand
improvement sites of the United States
Forest service, camp grounds, island
canoe resting points, fire lookout
towers. In contrast to the expansive
groves of trees is a burnt-over area re-
sulting from a carelessly dropped match
or campfire that was not extinguished
Then is pictured plantation area
where seedlings are being grown to re-
place the towering pines destroyed by
fire.
Again, one sees the attractiveness of
the area for winter sports, skiing, hik-
ing, tobogganing and camping.
Bringing the lure of the 100000 acres
of the Superior National Forest and the
adjacent areas of lakes and scenic
trails to the outdoor expositions is the
major project Of a committee OF
Minnesota Arrowhead association,
headed by G.. c. Carlson, Duluth, and
Robert Watts, Ely, vice chairman.
outdoor shows at which the Arrow
head Country will be represented are
planned in Chicago, St. Louis and Min
neapolis, beginning in January and
continuing until spring.

If Coach Barney Banks had had a
couple of good mudders over at Eve
Ieth, Saturday afternoon, there might
have been a different outcome to the
1876 game that the Tigers took. That,
along with a couple of breaks that the
alert Eveleth crew turned into touch
downs, is the reason why Ely sub
mitted to stunning setback.
The defeat knocked Ely's hopes of
sharing the title with Virginia into a
cooked hat, and slid the club down to
third place. The Queen City now has
sole claim on the title with Eveleth
and Itasca tied for second.
Both Eveleth and Itasca have one
less win than Ely, but they both have
two tie games which count as no con-
test in the percentage column.
The Eveleth encounter was bruising
highly contested battle until the final
gun. Six 15-yard penalties for either
slugging, holding, or unnecessary rough
ness were called, two on Ely and -four
on the Tigers.
An inch of greasy, slippery mud
topping solidly frozen ground, made the
field as hard to gain footing on as a
dance floor. Halfback Joe Novak, who
ran wild against Duluth here for nearly
275 yards gain by rushing, was able to
turn in only 81 against Eveleth. The
Shiny field made it impossible for the
club to shake him loose, and his longest
sprint was for only 7 yards.
Tiger ball carriers, however, had much
better luck, turning in five long gains
totaling lat yards. Aside from these
runs they Jared no better than Ely, ex-
cept that one of them was good for a
touchdown.
Ely, with the score 1876 against them,
was still very much in the running as
the final quarter got under way. Even
the fact that Eveleth had received
another break as the third quarter
ended didn't seem particularly serious,
because Coach Banks crew had dom
mated the playing during the second
half
This break came as Novak, hit hard
on the return of Tiger punt, fumbled
on the Eveleth 23-yard line, the host

hopeful season when most treasure hunts launched
chiefly from armchairsl But armchair explorers
must sometimes calculate their chances of retrieving
a few easy millions.
The record unfortunately indicates that the
chances are pretty slim. More millions have been
sunk in treasure expeditions than have ever been
fished up But OF course hunting is a pas
time as well as a profession. Some romantic souls
merely collect pirate maps. Others, who afford
it, conduct trips to Cocos the Coves of He'll the

The professionals now and then do score success.

eHoroscobe
The stars incline
but do not compel"
THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1889

According to astrology this is not
a lucky day in planetary direction.
Adverse aspects dominate the busy
hours of the day.
Initiative in important matters
should be postponed, for obstacles
and delays are indicated. The stars
warn of futile effort.
1t has been prognosticated often
that 1899 would bring broad pros
perity in the United States, but this
happy prophecy is attended by the
forecast of recession in 1910.
This is a year in which to eat.
drink and be merry, since the future
holds portents of anxiety. Travel
abroad as well as at home will be
fortunate for great numbers Of AM
orleans.
On this thirteenth of the month
the mind may be hospitable to err
roneous ideas. Stern self discipline
which ignores what is in the least
discouraging should be practiced
Women have a fairly fortunate
sign for constructive work, but they
must not compete with men under
this sway, if they hope to profit in
financial matters.
The stars today favor mild love
affairs. Flirtations may be mere
evanescent springtime fancies. Girls
should let their heads rule their
hearts.
This is an encouraging shopping
day promising rare finds" in rugs
and household furniture. a.
Musicians may expect a profitable
summer. Their services in bands and
crchestras will be in constant de-
mand, it is prophesied.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of varying ex-
periences. Disappointments may be
followed by pleasant surprises. Ro-
nance comes to the young.
Children born on this day may be
dynamic in nature and active men
tally. These subjects of Aries may
apply naturally artistic talents to
practically vacations.
