Forty-nine Years Ago
From The Ely Times
Friday, April 81, 1893.

A very disastrous accident happened
at the Minnesota mine at Soudan at
10 o'clock on the morning of the 18th
when three men were killed instantly
and nine others were seriously injured
two probably fatally, besides several
others slightly injured.
The dead are j. B. Nettle, who leaves
wife and four children; Charles
Nelson, with a wife and five children
and Jacob Koshaver, unmarried.
The injured are Philip Marshead
John Rosenstein, James Mahoney, G..
S. Warne, Frank Cundy, w. T. Nettle,
William Martin and Joe collar.
The accident occurred at the mine
blacksmith shop where about twenty
men were employed, nearly everyone
Of whom sustained injuries. Nettle,
Collar and Nelson were engaged in
breaking up a lot of iron pipe pre-
paratory to throwing it into the scrap
heap.
The pipe was placed under a 1900
pound steam hammer and an ex-
ploSion followed. The scene was a
horrible ore and the plant was almost
total wreck. Besides those instantly
killed the others were taken to the
hospital where Drs. Harwood and
Richardson worked for over four hours
dressing the wounds of the injured. It
is very improbable that Marshead and
Mahoney will recover, both having
suffered from the loss of blood.
The explosion was due to the pres
sure of quantity of dynamite in the
pipe which had failed to explode while
being used as a "gun" in opening
raises that had become clogged. A
similar accident is unknown in the
Lake Superior iron district.
DR.. Kelley is negotiating with a
syndicate to sell his plants for the
gold cure for drunkenness. It is
said the price to be paid is 10 mil
lion dollars and the sale includes the
formula and the Dwight Establish
lishmentS Under the terms of the
contract DR.. Keeley agrees not to
enter the same business again.
A joint committee of the house and
senate composed of Ignatius Donnelly,
R. A. Wash, H. P. Bjorge, VIM. Lock-
wood, P. B. winston, James A. Boggs,
Frank L. Morse and Hitler H. Horton
have prepared their report on the
investigation of the anthracite coal
combine in the state. The committee
finds that the price of $6.1O per ton
at the head of the lakes is too high
and that it never should exceed SIS
per ton F. o. B. Duluth or Superior.
The committee reported that there
was altogether too much leeway be-
tween the price in lower lake ports
and the upper lake ports and that
coal is being transported to Duluth
and Superior for 80 cents per ton by
boat.
VIM. Kevern has left for a five
months visit to his old home in |
England Monday. : Two new
business houses are locating in the
city. One is kaufman & Yezner in the |
Vail building and A. Horovi.z in the

arisen repeatedly for many years.
The controversy may ultimately be
decided by court action unless the
U. S. forest service grants a permit
for the construction of the road over
federal land, but in view of the
forest services established wild
erness policy it is unlikely that such
a permit would be forthcoming.
About 20 persons were present al
the hearing, aside from the represen-
tatives of the forest service, attorneys
and the township board. There was a
lengthy discussion for and against
granting the petition, and several
letters and kilograms were read op-
posing it.
One of the owners of private prop
erty over which the road will pass
opposed it, He was Franklin Warren
Minneapolis.
Clare Hendee, Duluth, forest sup
ervisor, said that as supervisor he
was charged with upholding the wild
erness policy of the forest service
and in communication said he would
not permit the use of forest lands for
the proposed road.
Attorney Harri commended that fed
eral law gave the settlers right to
a road, and that the area through
which it would pass was no longer a
wilderness
E. c. Hotchkiss, Milwaukee, was
legal representative for the forest
service. Emmett Jones, Lake county
attorney, acted as advisor to the town
board.
HotchkiSS said that the forest SER
vice commended the town board did
not have jurisdiction insofar as federal
lands were concerned.

was won by finesse of the jack.
West led the other low dia-
mond. Now North made bril-
liant and correct play by jump
ing up with the king of dia-
mondS.
1t is fairly certain that West
had three diamonds to the queen,
not four, else he would not risk
a diamond ruff. The play of the
diamond king forcing the ace,
will block the suit, and that
seems important because dunn
my has no side entries left.
Declarer can use this chance
to lead through the king of
trumps again, or to lead for a
club finesse, but cannot do both.
If dummy is allowed to win the
second diamond with the jack,
declarer can overtake his queen
with the ace later, in order to
lead clubs through South.
Declarer might finesse the
queen of clubs, then cash his
ace and hope to get an end play
on South, but all South has to
do is to unlock his king of
clubs on the ace.

There may have to be a law
like that, anyway, no matter
how the Baltimore experiment
works out. After election, when
Congress gets back on the job,
the lawmakers may cut loose on
the theory that nobody else is
better than a soldier and there
