We reserve the right tc positively refuse any notice of whatever nature after o'clbfik -p.m. oa ThuwdaV. AT THE PlOXEElI. A large pipe runs around the ^building near the ceiling and 'parses through each locker. There are holes in the pipe, something on the principle of a sprinkler, fend this-pipe ts c6c-: nected with a pump and in case of fix-e the water can be turned tfo and every thing in the lockers HviU be sprinkled. A new Cahall boiler is beins: ""put in at the Pioneer. This •boiler is a stranger in these parts so far as the writer is aware. It is sort of an upright toiler and is said to be a great steam generator. It stands 28 -feet 9 inches high. There are about 375 inen em ployed at the Pioneer mine at the present time and more are being added as fast as room can oe inade for them. About 1000 tons a day are being hoisted from the shaft aud this amount will "be increased steadily as the de velopment work underground progresses. The old shaft lias been fixed up as a timber shaft, and this leaves the main shaft free to hoist ,ore. A big Stockpile is already in evidence and by spring the property will toe in fine shape for shipping. A visit to the Pioneer mine on Tuesday found everything work ing along smoothly, but as rush ing as an American firearms manufactory before the late war. The reverberation of the carpen ter's hammer attracted the at tention to new buildings that are going up, and also several re cently finished and neatly paint •ed buildings. The carpenters 4re working on the building for ttie machine shop which will be fitted out with the latest im proved machinery—drill presses, but and bolt threaders, lathes, etc. A new dry is almost com pleted, only a few more lockers remaining to be put in. The dry is large and roomy and has a very unique system of fire pro tection.—Ely Times. I. A HE CO WEB MISES. The Marine Review under stands that full 11,000 men were working in and around the cop per mines of Lake Superior when navigation closed a few weeks ago. In 1893 not more than 5,000 men were engaged, and in 1897 not more than 9,000. The boom in the copper indus try, with prospecting operations going on in various new fields, says the Review, was the fiist tanse of a scarcity of labor and advanced wages in the iron mines. Although miners in the copper region were paid higher wages than prevail in any of the other mining fields, there has been great difficulty all through the year in securing men suffic ient for development work in duced by activity in Jthe copper industry. The value of lake copper product during 1898 ex ceeds $18,000,000, of which ow ing to the Ligh price obtained for the metal, not far from $8, 000,000 is profit to the mines. Copper mines of the lake coun try are valued at about $150,000, 000, which is more than 2£ times their worth in 1893, and more than tvrice their value in 1895. One mine alone, the famous Calumet & Hecla, to which more than to any others the note of this region in the public eye is due, has risen in market yalue from $100 to about $600. Even at $600 a share this stock, whose par value is $25, is a good in vestment, for it is paying 200 per cent a year on its capitaliza tion of $2,500,000. This year it has paid $4,000,000. AX OJMEJtl VAXIOH SOCIAL The Ladies' Aid Society of the M. E. Church will tender a dime social at the parsonage on Fri day evening, January 20th, to which a cordial invitation is ex tended. KOTEH AND COMMENTS. The Sharkey-McCoy fight Tuesday evening resulted in the defeat of the latter fcin the t&iith round Copper stocks continue to boom and some of our citizens who got in on the ground floor could already pocked a harfdsome .profit on tlioir investment if they so desired. Mr. Maapakaski.Jeditor of the Amerikan Uutiset, ah influental Finnish paper published at Cal umet:, Mich.,'is in the city to day, looking after business mat ters in fbe interest oi his journal. R. L. Polk & Co. are shortly to issue a directory of the ranges and range towns, including Vir ginia, Eveleth, Ribbing, McKin ley, Sparta, Biwabik, 0rand Rapids, Two Harbors, Mt, Irolb, Tower and Ely. P. G. Kraemer, of Imperial fame, looked after the needs of our merchants Tuesday, Supt. Redfern, of the Penob scot mine. Hibbing, was a Vir ginia visitor Friday. Attorney General Childs has been retained on special counsel to push the proceedings for the forfeiture of the Duluth & Iroti Range land grant. The decision rests with the commision named by the last legislature, including Cov. Lind, Auditor Dunn afriS Attorney General Dougfas at whose suggestion Mr. Childs was retained. The case is now pending before Judge Lcchren in the federal court and a vast deal of evidence has been taken before a special master. At the close of an able article upon Ely and her bright pros pects for future greatness, Bro. Schaefer, of the Ely Miner, says that tsrhen the matter of dividing the county is again brought up Ely will be at the front with a bid for the county seat. That makes no odds, Bro. Schaefer, we desire county division even if an unsurveyed forty on the shore !of Gabitogu naig lake be designated as the county seat. The gutteral notes of the Chippewas is far prefer able to the grunts of the Duluth hogs. Another Chapter is to be added to the famous Ceder Island or Ely lake land case, the long con test between Murphy & Dorr and the U. S. Surveyor General to come before the U. S. Court at Duluth shortly for a new trial. The case involves a large tract of valuable land which was or iginally surveyed as a portion "of Cedar Island lake, but on which stands many thousands of dollars worth of timber These lands have since been homesteaded, and the suit is to compel them to be opened for entry. Dncle Sam continues to line up new companies of infantry at Walker, in anticipation of trouble with a score of redskins. Be tween the squaws of Minnesota, the belligerants of Cuba and the negroes of the Phillipines who believe that governments derive their just powers only from the consent.of the governed, Unc.e Sam has a bright prospect for active employment for a long time to come. The world is made up of in dividuals each having peculiar views upon all subjects which engage the thought. No man may attain perfection or always be exactly right. Indeed, there is a diversity of opinions as to what is right in many things. Because of this diversity, there are many religious societies, differing in many minor points, but really not Very far apart in the more important things. There are opposing political parties each having a large fol lowing of honest, conscientious men. Men with "hobbies" are most often wise in their own conceits. Men, who accord to others the right to opposing views and believe them honest in views they themselves do not endorse, are counted noblest and best. Man has sought many in ventions, The progress of the age is marrelous, yet humanity is wrapped up in ignorance. The Anoka Herald says that so long as there are Indians, pine trees and lumbermen* there will be trouole. The Ortonville Herald Star goes it one better and adds whiskey to the list. That certainly makes a hard combination to go against. Geo. Westcott, formerly editor ot the Ely Times, has been ap pointed U. S. Court Commission er, and as such is entitled to tatre testimony in final proofs on public lands. C. Schoenleber is among the new victims of la grippe thiis week. The old sawmill at McKinley is being torn down and removed. Capt. A. H» Stevens, who has a timber contract for the Adams mine, has* his camps complete and is already delivering timber. He has^about 25 men employed at present. A. H. Cornstock, in a lengthy letter to the News Tribune, ad vocates a bounty on pig iron manufactured in Minnesota from Minnpsola ores Mr. Cornstock's idea is all right. Bounties are proper in certain cases, but only until such time as the new in dustry is enabled to fcothpete with older establishments. Boun ties have worked wonders for the salt and beat sugar indus tries of Michigan, and the natur til result of the induction of iron manufacture in our state is in evitable. We note that Senator Hawkins has been appointed chairman of rthe senate committee on Mines and Mining, and is also a mem ber of the committees on Logs and Lumber and Towns and Counties. His position On this latter committee shbiild lend him considerable strength in any measure which might be pro mulgated for the establishment of a new county by a vote of the people of St. Louis county prior to the general election of 1900. The publishers of Garlton county have patterned after their fraternal brethren of the iron ranges, and organized a Press Association, for the advance ment of mutual interests. We trust, however, that there may be found among their number no Judas lscariot, who may attempt to "do the gang" under the cloak Of friendship and thus cause a disruption. Such is practically the present status of the Editorial Association of the Iron Ranges. A western editor who doubt less has had a serious time with wind storms, drouths and delin quents, thus writes: We look into a cradle and trehold a crying male babe. At the age of ten he is a noisy kid, with half the but tons off his pants and an eye for meanness at fifteen he is a devil in a print shop at twenty he is the publisher of a country news paper, at the head of every en terprise calculated to improve the town or enrich the business men thereof at 35 he's au ema ciated worn out man with a bald head and holes in his pockets, and at fifty he's a corpse in a cheap coffin and his only re sources left behind is two cases long primer, a Washington hand press and a subscription book with 678 delinquent subscribers, who line up and march past his office saying 4-He was a public spirited fellow, but he never could save anything." The Head of the Lakes, a new business journal, has been launched at Duluth by E. L. Millar, with C. D. ^killings as editor. Vol. 1 No. 1 is a 32 page pamphlet, replete with interest ing statistical news of the in dustries of Duluth, the Super iors and vicinity, and is deserv ing of the rich patronage ap parently extended it. The investigations into the management of the various de partments bids fair to cost more than did the war. The new Weyerhaeuser log. gingroadfromthe Weyerhaeuser camps to Island Lake on the Cloquet river is now in full operation. The first load of logs for the mills at Cloquet, was hauled over the new line Friday of last week. This road will be an important factor iu logging in the Cloquet district, as it touches some of the best pine lands.in that section. W. S. Brahn, for the past five years superintendent of the Du luth, Missabe & Northern ore docks at Duluth, has resigned his position with the company to assume a more responsible po sition with an eastern concern During the period of Mr. Brann's incumbency the ore trade of Du luth has progressed from its in fancy to its present magnificient volume. AU the ore shipped over the Missabe road has pass ed over the Oneota docks, which have gained an enviable reputa tion among vessel owners and captains second to none upon the chain of the great lakes. This has been largely due to the un remitting attention to business and the untiriug energy of Mr. Brann and in losing his services the company parts with one who has been a valuable servant to them and a credit to the port of Duluth. The Enterprise has obtained no definite information relative to the prospective sale of the Franklin group. Agent3 of the Pittsburg & Lake Angelinecom pany were in the sity the first of the week, looking over the bot torn level which is now free from water, and it is expected the proposition will take definite form within the week. In case of a sale we anticipate the work* ing of the property to its full capacity within thirty days. Capt. Wade is in charge of ex plorations on the McEwen prop erty, adjoining the Victoria on the east, and has four pits down, the respective depths being 9-16 29 and 50 feet. In two of the pits ore has been encountered, and it is the intention of tne owners to put a diamond drill the property about Feburary to {thoroughly test the and quality of the ore bo#j\ The Enterprise is weekly an noyed by complaints from local subscribers at not receiving their paper until Batiifday or at airy time the following week. $bis should not be, and is a matter in which we lire In no wise to blan$e In nearly six years, or since ep tablishing The Enterprise, there has been but twice that the local list was not ia the postoffice -in time for distribution before the arrival of the mail Friday even ings, and our subscribers are Ssked to place the blame where it justly belongs. Further, we ask that when hereafter any subscriber fails to obtain his paper at the postoffice on Satur day a report be made to this office iu writing, W use in bring ing the matter before the postal authorities. TO MAMAGE THE SPAHTA. R. H. Charming, Jr., who ar rived here from New York a few days ago, is to have charge of the Sparta mine tho coming season in the interest "Of Piclr ands. Mather & Co. Mr. Chan ging was in charge of the Genoa mine before he left last spring to join Roosevelt's Rough Riders. School Notes. FRANK DONNELLY, Editor. ALEX KING, Assistant Editor. STARR—RHETORIC CLASS. "The most profitable and praiseworthy genius in the world is industry."—E. L. Magoon. Once more the wheel of time has spun round and the New Year continues to grind out knowledge at the old stand. On Saturday last the teachers who had been visiting out of the city returned and on Monday school re-opened. A chancre has been made in the music and drawing. The girls have music one day while the boys have drawing, and vice versa. The Christmas program pass ed off nicely. It was a good program, splendidly carried out even be the visitors, of whom there were twenty. Miss Rose Ryan entered school Monday, .7 Mr. Kathan is taking the place of Mr. Eaton as janitor, during the illness of the latter. Two volumes of Emerson's works are to be found on Miss Sweeney*s desk. Some new material for the kindergarten has been received. It would be well for a certain bright girl in the English class to "practice what she preaches." Spelling lessons are in order now. Among the new pupils Miss Larson's room are Ettie Trethe wa.y, Peter Machevitz and Ger trude Clifford. Among those on the sick list this week are Herbert Steinberg and Ross Harbau0rh. Joe Doyle and Rose Martin re: entered school Monday. School re-opeued Monday after a two week's vacation which was greatly enjoyed by both teachers and pupils. Quite a change has tak-h place in the looks of the school rooms during the Xmas vacation. Elec tric lights have been put in, which will enable the teachers to work longer at night, In the High School room new pictures adorn the walls. New black boards have aiso been added which makes it very convenient to teachers and pupils. In the halis two new tanks have been placed, which keep the water more healthful than when in open pails. The 9th grade reading class have been dropped gin order to give the pupils a review of arithmetic preparatory to the state examination next month. Hereafter the girls will do the buzzing, and the boys the sing ing. We now have twenty two in attendance in the High School room. The 9th grade Latih class is getting so bright that the -teach er is thinking about putting a shade over it to protect his eyes. Miss Rose Mahoney is teach ing school at the Franklin cor ing the illness of her sister. The High school pupils are very proud of the reCoM made in attendance last month #nd will endeavor to leal thd dis trict neict month as well as the last two. Their rate of attend ance was 97 per cent, with no tardiness. For opening exercises Monday morning Miss Wooley had arith metical conundrum's, among which was the following qu&s tion and answer: Why is it that a Statue's nose is never more than eleven inches long? Because if it was more it would be a foot. As it will not be long until spring, it wou'd be well for the boys to agitate the question of a larger school yard, for the size of the yard at present is such that we cannot play base ball or foot ball. If the question were properly brought before the school board, they might con sent to enlarge it sufficiently for base ball, at least. OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS. Council Proceedings.
