ORE TONNAGE
FIGURES GIVEN

Mines on the Vermilion range
shipped 1,768,721 gross tons Of iron ore
during the month of June, according to
figures published by Skillings' Mining
Review. During the season to July 1,
they have sent out 5000, 1863 tons.
All of the ore from the Vermilion
range is handled by the Two Harbors
docks and is hauled by the D. M. &
I. R.
By comparison only two other lines
handled a greater tonnage during June
and for the season than the one SER
vicing the Vermilion range. One was
the Great Northern with docks at
Superior which handled 3,121,813 tons
during June and 5,5O26 for the
season, and the other was the D. M &
I. R. with docks at Duluth, which had
2,138,566 tons for June and 3,813,30
for the season.
For the entire Lake Superior dis
trict for June shipments totaled $685.,
594 tons as compared with 7,274,024 in
May and 5,572, 998 for June, 1889. The
largest amount ever moved in a single
month from the district was 1871 $3.50
tons in August, 1887.
1t is estimated that with the season
about one-quarter gone, 17,268,690 tons
have been shipped from the district,
which is very good start for a Co
million ton year.

Ely's chance of taking the Range

cided this weekend when the city
baseball team tackles Chisholm and
Nashwauk. One of the games will be
played here.

Dick Lefty" johnson will start against
the Sox and Frank Vertnik against the
Queen City, Jimmy" Buckley will be
back in the lineup at first base, after
recovering from an injured ankle.
Ely will be playing its first game
with Chisholm but earlier in the
season it was defeated by Nashwauk
TO, in a 13-inning struggle.
Last Sunday the Elyites ran their
winning streak to three by taking Kee-
watin into camp, to 4, on the latter's
diamond. 1t was a blood battle that
Keewatin had won until the last frame
Behind 4 to in the ninth, Ely
turned defeat into victory as two yearl-
ing players, Joe Novak and Eddie
Grahek, came through with runs. 1t
took Lefty johnson, however, to win
his own ball game as he smacked out
a single to score both men. Novak
first up to start the inning, went to
first on single and sprinted to third
as Grahek followed him with another
one-bagger Johnson then came
through with his safe blow. In Kee-
watin's half of the inning, Johnson put
on steam to protect Ely's one-run
margin and only three men faced him
Both pitchers allowed hits. Ely
failed to garner a single two-bagger
the first time in II games. Every one
was a single.
After this coming weekend, the
schedule calls for Chisholm, Virginia
Calumet and Bull here in the order
named.
-Four Ely players have been named
to appear with the league an-stars
against Virginia, Friday, at the Queen

PhiLcO Features Photo
Electric PhOnOgraph,

A beam of light that talks, sings, and
plays music was described this week
by Louis Champa of the Ely Hardware
and Furniture company, who has at
tended showing of the 1941 Philco
radios in Duluth. The new model
Philcos are now on display here.
This new engineering achievement
is the product of Philco's research
laboratories.
Modern science and inventive
genius" said Mr. Champa, "have swept
aside the imperfections of radio phon-
ograph reproduction with an amazing
adaptation of the photo-electric cell
Instead of the rigid steel needle of the
ordinary, old-fashioned monograph
that grinds in the grooves of record
and transfers its vibrations through the
laborious twisting of a stiff crystal, the
Philco photo-electric monograph has
jewel which actually floats in the
grooves of the record and reproduces
sound with unparalleled fidelity be-
cause it is free and flexible Mounted
above the jewel on revolving axis is
a feather-weight mirror which swings
from side to side as the jewel follows
the curve of the record groove. This
tiny mirror, as it swings from side to
side, flashes on to the photo-electric
cell reflections from light beam which
comes from small bulb also housed in
the end of the tone arm"
"The new invention" Mr.. Champa
explained" means that the jewel which
replaces the old-fashioned needle will
now last for eight to ten years and will
increase the disable life of a photograph
record from rs playings to 1000 play
ings"

The old bromide, you can't convict
a million dollars" was knocked cuckoo
again in the conviction of Moses l..
Annenberg. Tom Dewey, the able
prosecutor in New York, gave the mis-
taken opinion an awful wallop when
he put several millionaires behind the
bars Annenberg made barrels of
money on horse racing and racket
publishing and forgot the formaity
of turning over some five million dollars
in income taxes. He is now in the
"klink" for term of years and his
fortune will have to be paid in fines.
Major Nelson of the Fairmont Sen
tinel in commenting on the case said:
HE didn't want to play square with
the country that took him in when a
European country welcomed his de-
parture."
