Forty-nine Years Ago
From the ELY Times
Friday. Nav IL. 1894.

The strike in the coal mines is prov
ing a good thing for Duluth and Su-
perior. At the opening of navigation
there We're 100000 tons of coal on the
docks there. The coal famine at
Eastern points has caused a demand
for the coal stored at the Head of the
Lakes and it is being shipped East. 1t
will be shipped away in few weeks
and after the mines resume work, the
shipments to Duluth and Superior will
be as large as in previous years to
supply next winters demand.
Gold has been found at Fond du Lac,
according to people of West Duluth,
who have investigated. The discovery
was made on the property of william
Hollenbeck, who has 20-year lease
on the prospective mine. 1t is said the
gold was discovered by Indians on a
small island three miles from Fond du
Lac and who built log cabin over
the excavations to conceal their work.
Hollenbeck was told about it by an
Indian and at once leased the prop
erty. An aSsayer has valued the find
at $125 a ton and on surrounding
property. If Hollebeck cannot get peo-
pie interested in the discovery, he will
go East and get the money to develop
it, according to the Duluth News
Tribune.

standing new in our history of Of
flee boys.
People said, maybe it was because
he was so young, or had never had
a chance to go to high school, or
was so small that he measured no
more than five feet five and weigh
ed perhaps a hundred and twenty.
All these things helped, no doubt.
But the big thing was you felt that
Johnny believed everything good
and great that he had ever heard
or read about people and about life.
And you felt that Johnny had be-
come what he believed.
"a "a n
SOON JOHNNY was in the home
office, still studying and still climb
ing. Everybody watched his pro-
gress with relish and enjoyment as
if it were his own. Johnny was
ambitious, but not ambitious at the
other fellows expense. He wanted
to do a job, but not to take some
body else's job.
This Is wonderful kind of
business" Johnny used to say. "You
can dig into all sides of everything
marketing, manufacturing, re-
search, writing, and art. It's an
education for a fellow who never
had any, and I'm going to learn all
can about it."
Then one day, long before Pearl
Harbor, Johnny came to me and
said, "I'm going to have to inter-
rupt my study of advertising until
after the war. I'm going to study
for the Air Force. I want to be q
fighter pilot"
What are you going to have to
take, Johnny2" I asked.
History, English, algebra, and
trigonometry-at night" said John
ny.
Pretty tough going that schedule
was for boy who had never been
to high school. Johnny discovered
that fact in the next months, but
he never got discouraged, never lost
his smile, and plugged ahead.
After many months, he stopped
