Review of Mining Operations and Developments of Lake .• Superior District. INTERESTED IN NEW ORE FIELDS* A Winona dispatch of Monday is authority, for the statement that Kx Mayor Truelsen, of Duluth, is at the head of a company which is getting options on a large area of ore lands in LaCro'sse county, Wisconsin. 4.\ -iV... 'V 'i tThe dispatch says: "A large company with ex-Mayor Truelsen, of Duluth, at its head, has been formed to secure Options upon fahds supposed to contain iron ore in Western Wisconsin, across the river from Winona. Options have been secured on all the farms in the vicinity of the Kowalewski farm. Iron ore was discovered on this lat ter property by men engaged at digging a well a short time ago. The men who struck the deposit were ignorant of its character, but since then the stuff has been declar ed by men who profess to know aS a very desirable quality of iron ore. Mr. Truelsen, who has been through this region in the interest of the Boston & Duluth Land company, investigated the ore proposition and with the result that if it turns out well he and his associates will make large fortunes. The options obtained by Mr. Truelsen for his company permit of prospecting be ing carried on for six months, and if satisfactory results follow pro vide for the sale of the farms at a fixed price. In every case the price named has been about what the owners have asked. The promoters will begin working with diamond drills soon and are confident that they will strike desirable and exten sive deposits of ore." thevatioui ore catrying roads of the state, de manding that the ore tariffs in ef fect over the lines be filed with the commission, was served on the roads Saturday.. The fact that the commission had agreed with the interested companies to test the question of jurisdiction, has been given publication in these columns. The order refers to the roads as common carriers, and proceeds: "That said railroad company has neglected to comply with the pro visions of section 8 of chapter 10 of the general laws of this state for the year 1887 by neglecting to print and keep for public inspection sched ules showing its rates and charges for the transportation of iron ore from and between any and all points on its lines of railroad." The companies are to file in the office of the railroad and warehouse commission a schedule of its rates, etc., or show cause before the rail road and warehouse commission, at its office, on Tuesday, July 9, at ten o'clock in the forenoon. DECREASED SHIPMENTS. Ore shipments for the month of May from the docks at the head of the lakes show an, enormous de crease over the same month last year, due to an extent to the later start made by the ore carrying ves sels. The statement of the three railroads is as follows: June 1, D. M. & N... 660,684 D. & I. R. ... 883,426 Eastern Minnesota .235,889 DEFE Jun^ 1, 1901. 264,179 960,143 164.227 Totals. .1,790,999 788,549 Decrease for 1901,1,002,450 tons. CHANGES IS BASE BALL RULES. The Enterprise hasn't looked over the revised rules of the national game for 1901, but the following is going the rounds of the press and we take it to be the correct thing so far as the changes go in the last revision: Every foul ball is called a strike unless the batter has two two strikers. The catcher can not stand more than ten feet back of the plate at any time. The pitcher must deliver the ball within twen ty seconds after the batter is in po sition, and when a batter is hit by* pitched ball instead of taking? a base, a ball is called on the pitcher. These changes will be noted with interest by our local base ball en thusiasts. CLAM BAKU. The. Brothers of Virginia Airie N o. 107, Fraternal Order of Eagles, prepare for a notable and enjoyable event on the 23rd inst., in the shape of a Clam Bake at St. Mary's lake. At a special meeting of tKe Artie at Itawkinson Hall on Sunday fore nooi^'last a committee of eleven comprising Brothers Patterson, Wilson, Baker, Bickford and O'Con nor of this city, Howard and Chase of Spqijrta, Crockett of Biwabik, Car-' lile of McKinley and Oakman of Mountain Iron, was appointed to make necessary, arrangements for the^.occasion, and the personnel of thexQjfcibittee is sufficient guaran tee that no point for the comfort ancl entertainment of the boys will be Omitted.

Tlie ser vice^ a professional clam baker and caterers from Duluth have been engaged, and none who attend will be found on the disappointed list. ROBERT COBBAN INJURED. Out townspeople were pained to learn of the serious in jury sustained by Robert Cobean yesterday -fore noon at about ten o'clock, while en gaged at work as brakeman on an ore train running from the Great Nojrtl^rn yards to the Sauntry mitie. It is the custom of the Sauntry train cfrews to take empty cars from the Great Northern yards to the miQ^ pod when the cars are loaded tak& them back and procure more was while Mr Cobean wai*tittaftBPlii»g the cars that he ip mmm* the jy "©'C- tli'e? last car. Just how it- happened can best be learned from the injured man when he is strong enough to give the in formation, but as yet he lays in a very weak state. Dr. Bates, the Sauntry physician, being out of town at the time, Dr. Lenont -was called upon and pro ceeded to the scene of the accident, finding Mr. Cobean conscious but in much pain sustained from the shock, one truck having passed over'his body. The injured man was conveyed in a bus to the Vir ginia hospital and his wounds ex amined and dressed, and it was found that a contusion of the left upper leg, a bone broken in the right upper leg and a compound fracture of the arm near the shoulder was sustained. The bone of the lower left leg was also brok en. The patient was in a critical con dition all day yesterday, and Dr. Bates states, at the time of going to press, that he is* very hopeful of bringing Mr. Cobean out of danger of loss of limbs or life, but that he has a very weak man under his care as can be judged by the serious ness of the injury. It is the earnest wish of Mr. Co bean's many friends here that Dr. Bates statement will prove true and .that he will again be among us although it may be many weeks. IWILL OMIT FUTURE MENTION. The Enterprise scribe received a pleasant call' from Chief of Police Wiggen Monday afternoon* the ob ject of which was to inform us that in any future mention we might feel Called upon to make relative to the. running of open gambling in Virginia he did not want us to make further mention of the police force in connection. li is not the desire ot The Enter prise to unnecessarily raffle the feelings of any public official or other citizen and therefore, def erence to the expressed desire of Mr. Wiggen, we will in future omit ^mention of the two variant subjects in conjunction, unless circumstanc es 'should not only warrant jbut positively demand :.a different 1 .m,.. 4 Mrsfc Cobean had written a letter to her husband a few days. ago,, and ft was by calling for his mail that her address was secured and she was telegraphed- for, it being ex' pected that she will arrive here early next week, she being how Canada. ^n.« V?" i'lt,- ^Vs* tlx Plwitix City. Virginia of Today, Where One Year Ago We Smoul dering Ruins. MANY REMARKABLE CHANGES. As one looks out upon the beauti ful city of Virginia today, just one year from the date of its last de struction by fire, the thrift, the in* dustry, the progressive spirit and indomitable faith of our people in Virginia is so exemplified that one is struck with admiration and won derment—admiration at the evident faith of jemrpeople and wonderment at the accomplishments of the pag| twelve monttf: I Where but oioae^i&ar ago- were the smouldering rui^fof the second Virginia, today stands the only •brick city of Northern Minnesota, 'practically all the burned buildings having been replaced with hand some brick structures, filled with finer stocks and happier homes, as a result of' the well ..placed confi dence in our future.* And no town in Northern Minne sota has a greater future than. Vir ginia. It has always been recog nized ^as the metropolis of the range, and it justly deserxes the ti tle: Surrounded by the greatest ore body of the Mesa bar and border4 ed by a wealth of timber the indus try of the, city is destined 1 I* •1"I. 'I1-I1 .1<p></p>P. 1 vto crease for many years, and the sta bility of Our institutions is assured. But nine years* of age, Virginia has passed tnfo disastrous fires, the first, on June 18,1893, wiping out the entire business and residents, por tions and the last, on June 7, 1900, devastating the business blocks and many adjacent homes, the loss by the two fires aggregating fully One and one-half millions. In the face of these reverses it is a matter of pfide tp jtny Virginian to look jjfii in aiM pre- which presage our continued cedence of all range cities In the work of rebuilding and in the faith exemplified, no one ^Vir ginian is deserving of more credit than the other. Each and every one, as their means would permit, have put their shoulder to the wheel, and in united effort has been accomplished the grand result. And the same indomitable spirit which surmounts the greater diffi culties, will easily surmount thp lesser word, works and unity for aught for the public welfare will continue to be the plan of action, a plan in which every Virginian has and takes an active part. MODERN WOODMEN BAND. The members of Virginia Cornet Band on Wednesday evening next will, as a body, join Virginia Camp No. 2955, M. W. A., as social ^mem bers, and the organization thence forth will be known as the Modern Woodmen Band. The Band numbers 20 members which will make a notable addition to the local Camp, giving them a membership of about 115, the larg est membership of any local secret organization unless it is the Frater nal Order of Eagles, which has a membership of about equal num ber. DR. FORBES' VISIT. The Rev. Robert Forbes, D. D., of Duluth, preached to a large and- ap preciative audience in the M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon. The Doctor has recently returned from a trip to California, and appears much improved, in health.
