INTERESTING NEWS of MINES and VILLAGES
SHIPPING SEASON
IS MUCH DELAYED
Ice in Great Lakes Hinders
Navigation—Mines Loading
Cars at Shafts.
Because of ice conditions in Lake
Superior, and in the harbor at Du
luth, shipping of iron ore will be
much later this year than was an
ticipated even three or four weeks
ago. The ice in the bay at; Duluth
is still heavy, and the ships along the
loading docks are almost as heavily
icebound as they were a month ago.
Ice in the lake itself is holding firm
out from the canal entrance, and is
reported to be from nine to fifteen
inches thick. At the eastern end of
the lake, near Whitefish bay and the
Sault, the ice is still very heavy, and
does not show signs of a breakup.
It is not expected Jlhat boats can
come up from the lower lakes much
before May 10 to 20, and there may
be some delay to boats after that
time.
At most of the underground mines
on the Mesaba range, ore is being
loaded into cars at the shaft, instead
of being stockpiled. For the second
time since it was opened, the Sar
gent at Keewatin was the first, under
ground mine in Itasca county to load
cars in the spring. Cars were set in
at the shaft of the Sargent on Tues
day of last week, and stockpiling was
discontinued.
Mines at Hibbing have been load
ing into cars for several days. Load
ing from stockpiles will not be started
much before boats can run, which will
result in large accumulations of stock
piles being subject to taxation on May
1, when in an early year, they would
have been moved out into transit con
ditions, and reduce taxes.
KEEWATIN WILL BE
BUSY THIS SEASON
Mines in Eastern Itasca District
to Operate at Capacity—
Two Added.
Keewatin will be one of the busiest
villages on the range during the min
ing season of 1923, according to pres
ent prospects, for more mines are to
be shipping, and activities in all of
them are to be at a higher peak than
ever before. Operating properties at
Keewatin this season will include the
Bennett, both open pit and under
ground, the Bray, underground and
milling from pit, the Sargent, under
ground, the Little-Prindle, open pit,
and the St. Paul, open pit. The last
two named will add to the output of
mines in this territory, for the Little-
Prindle will ship for the first time,
and the St. Paul is reopened after
being idle since 1914.
George Rosewall of Eveleth has
been named captain of the St. Paul
mine at Keewatin, and has assumed
his duties there. Mr. Rosewall has
been at the Spruce mine a^ Eveleth
for a number of years, as assistant
mining captain. Equipment for the
St. Paul, already on the ground or
to be shipped at once, includes three
locomotives, a hoist and a dozen dump
cars. A 98-ton shovel from the Ste
venson mine is on its way, and the
300-ton electric shovel will arrive at
the St. Paul some time within a month
or six weeks.

where digging was slow. In time
this shaft will do away with use of
Shaft No. 1, near the location at the
Bennett, and ore will all be loaded
from the underground workings
through the new shaft. The Bennett
is prepared to load a large amount
of ore from the pit this season. Two
new steam shovels, and a large hoist
are part of the new equipment for
this mine for 1923.
PICKANDS MATHER
HAS LARGEST MINE
Takes Over Operation of Ma
honing at Hibbing—Much
Ore in Sight. •
News of the week, in mining cir
cles, is the announcement that Pick
ands, Mather & Co. have taken over
the operation of the Mahoning mine
at Hibbing, long known as the largest
open pit iron mine in the world.
Of the change, and reasons for it,
Skillings Mining Review says:
“The operating control of Mahoning
Ore & Steel Co., which owns the lease
to 1,000 acres on the Mesaba range,
and which includes the Mahoning
iron mine, has formally passed to
Pickands, Mather & Co. This change
also adds the Mahoning mine to F. P.
Botsford’s district. He is district man
ager for Pickands, Mather & Co., for
the Hibbing and western Mesaba ter
ritory. It is learned that H. S. Wol
lan, who has been general superinten
dent of the Mahoning mine for the
past t\wo years, will continue in that
capacity as heretofore.
“The change of management comes
about quite naturally. Pickands, Ma
ther & Co. have heretofore represent
ed Bethlehem Steel and Lackawanna
Steel in their mining interests in the
Lake Superior region. In many in
stances these were fractional inter
ests, where now Bethlehem has either
increased its ore holdings, or has ac
quired complete interest .through hav
ing acquired Midvale Steel and Lacka
wanna Steel.
“Pickands, Mather & Co. have
also taken over the operation of the
Penn Iron Mining company’s prop
erties at Vulcan, Mich. These mines
were included with the Mahoning in
the sale of Midvale to Bethlehem.
,“C. H. Munger, of Cleveland, who is
in charge of iron mines operated by
Pickands, Mather & Co., was in Du
luth and on the Mesaba range the
first part of this week. He, with
Mr. Chinn, general manager, and Mr.
Rose, assistant general manager, vis
ited the range together, returning
Tuesday evening. Mr. Munger left
for the east Thursday evening.
“The Mahoning iron mine is a prop
erty in which there is much public
interest, on account of its great size
and long history. It has been one
The little Misses Frances and Helen
Trickey were pleasantly entertained at

past winter at the log loading camp
near the new railroad in Kinghurst
township, returned to the home of his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. O. Vander

SEARCH FOR IRON
NEAR PORT ARTHUR
M. A. Hanna Company to Fi
nance Drilling on New Range
North of Lake.
Exploration for iron ore continues,
even though there is little activity in
Minnesota to indicate it. Mining
companies are seeking investment in
Canada, where tonnage taxes are un
known, and the possibility of a new
range, easily accessible from Lake
Superior, is to be determined.
The following, taken from Skillings
Mining Review, gives the circum
stances of the latest- attempt at ex
ploration east of Port Arthur:
“The M. A. Hanna company have
closed an option to explore the lands
of the Canadian Iron company, situ
ated at Loon Lake, 27 miles east of
Port Arthur, on the Canadian Pacific
railway.
“About fifteen or twenty years ago
Mr. McConnell, now of Toronto, did
some shallow drilling on this property.
The result of this exploration proved
the presence of iron formation, but
were not sufficiently encouraging to
warrant the development of the prop
erty. Further exploration will now be
done to determine if ore bodies of
commercial size and value can be lo
cated.
“Mr. M. C. Lake, geologist, and
Mr. Nixon, E. M., both of The M. A.
Hanna company, arrived in Port Ar
thur, on April 12, and proceeded to
the property on the 13th, accompanied
by Mr. Hunter, of the E. J. Longyear
company, who will carry on the drill
ing operations. The drilling crew are
expected to arrive on the property on
the 17th, when operations will com
mence. Mr. Nixon will be the local
engineer in charge, for The M. A.
Hanna company.
“The drilling outfit and crew are
being brought from Beardmore, where
they have completed work on the
Leitch property. This property is. sit
uated east of Lake Nepigon, a short
distance from the Canadian National
railway, and is under option to the
Bethlehem Steel company.’’
of the conspicuous open pit mines of
the Mesaba range ever since it entered
the shipping list in 1895.
“The Mahoning property was ex
plored by W. C. Agnew, who has long
been a resident of Duluth, and it was
he who discovered the iron ore in it,
notwithstanding a tradition that Hib
bing and Trimble were the first. Mr.
Agnew has been general manager of
the property from the time he came
here from Youngstown, Ohio, repre
senting the furnace interests then in
control of the company, originally
known as Mahoning Ore company,
early in the summer of 1893. His
record at the Mahoning mine has been
one of great credit to him and of
much interest to everybody identified
with the iron mining and furnace in
dustries. The property was explored
and developed and operated under his
direction, covering a period of about
thirty years.
“Since the Mahoning iron mine en
tered the shipping list in 1895 it has
produced and shipped a grand total
of 32,667,000 gross tons of ore. Its
record season was in 1917, when 2,-
524,110 gross tons were forwarded.
The Mahoning still has a large future.
The estimated shipment from this
mine for 1923 is 2,500,000 to 3,000,000
tons. The shipments for the season
of 1922 totaled 1,024,696 tons.”

Aitkin Republican: Frank B. Mil
ler of Palisade was declared tempo
rarily insane at a hearing before the
probate judge, Tuesday morning, and
was ordered committed to the state
hospital at Fergus Falls for treat
ment. He is 41 years old. Miller had
w'alked all the way from Palisade to
the county jail, Saturday, to ask that
Sheriff Boekenoogen arrest Palisade
residents, who declared, were plan
ning to do him injury. A telephone
call from Palisade instructed the
sheriff to hold Miller, who, it was
believed, carried a loaded gun. In
sanity came upon Mr. Miller suddenly
and is thought to be a case of a seri
ous but curable nervous disorder. He
seems obsessed with the idea that his
life was in danger, and suspicion of
the officials prevented him from
sleeping the nights he was kept in
jail.
Home Destroyed by Fire.
Hill City News: Friday morning
fire destroyed the A. E. Hill farm
home. In the high wind the flames
got a quick start and resulted in a
total loss of house and contents. Mr.
Hill and daughter, Ella, were in town
at the time and Mrs. Hill was at home
alone. The fire caught from the stove
pipe and in a very short time the
home was a mass of flames. Mr. Hill
stated that he could not determine
the exact amount of this loss, but
that it would be in the neighborhood
of $2,000. No insurance was carried
on the house or contents.
Scarlet Fever Epidemic.
Aitkin Republican: Ernest Graton,
11-year-old son of Frank Graton of
Rice River, was taken to St. Joseph’s
hospital at Brainerd Tuesday night.
He is suffering with serious compli
cations of what was undoubtedly scar
let fever, according to a physician’s
report. An epidemic of this disease
is said to have existed among the
pupils of School District 78, where
Ernest attended, and the cases were
left unattended and undiagnosed. The
nature of the disease is such that it
almost invariably leaves complications
of a dangerous character, no matter
how light a case it is originally.
No Hope From Higher Court.
Bemidji Pioneer: The state su
preme court has upheld the decision of
the Beltrami county district court in
the case of the State of Minnesota
vs. Pat Stapleton, in a decision hand
ed down by the state court Friday.
Stapleton was found guilty by the lo
cal court on a liquor selling charge
dated February, 1922, and motion for
a new trial was denied him. Appeal
was then made to the state supreme
court, which body found that his con
viction was sustained by the evidence
in the case and sustained the lower
court in denying a new trial. County
Attorney Graham M. Torrance repre
sented the state. Stapleton was sen
tenced to 60 days in the county jail
and a fine of S2OO, the sentence to be
increased 30 days in case of default
in payment of the fine. He was the
only one of a large number convicted
on similar charges who appealed from
the district court decision.
Elks’ Temple Tumbles.
Eveleth News: Due probably to a
weakened foundation, the entire front
third of the new Elks’ temple, which
has been under construction at Eve
leth since last November, collapsed
Wednesday afternoon. No one was
injured, although one workman was
in the part that was wrecked when
the crash occurred. Cracking timbers
and falling plaster, however, gave him
warning in time to avoid the tons of
material which crashed down a few
seconds later. A carpenter named Cie
was on the roof of the building at the
front when the cave-in started. He
was able, however, to flee to the rear
of the building before the actual col
lapse. Estimates of the damage made
hurriedly were SIO,OOO. The struc
ture, which was to have been one of
the handsomest Elks’ temples in the
state, was undergoing finishing pre
paratory to being turned over to the
lodge in the near future. The col
lapse will delay the completion of the
structure until some time in June, it
was stated.
Big Price for Pulpwood.
Rainy River Record: The Ontario
Paper company, which is owned- by
the Chicago Tribune, recently leased
2,000 square miles of pulp lands from
the government of Quebec on the
Manicouagan rived. The price paid is
the highest ever recorded in the an
nals of Canada’s industry. It works
out at about $4.50 per cord of pulp
wood “on the stump,” which means
in the form of standing timber. Add
ed to this price is the high cost of
logging, plus transportation to a pulp
mill, and the transport of the pulp to
the paper mill at Thorold, Ont. So
scarce have pulpwood areas become
that Manicouagan limits, which are
relatively remote, were keenly bid for
by some of the biggest newsprint cor
porations in the world.
Using Scarifier in Beltrami.
Bemidji Sentinel: Using plans
worked out by the lowa College of
Agriculture, J. J. McCurdy, J. F. Ko
vack, manual training instructor, and
County Agent Dvoracek built a clover
seed scarifier which will be kept at
the county poor farm for the present.
Germination tests of sweet clover and
alfalfa show the present of from 10
per cent to 50 per cent hard seeds
which will not germinate the first
year. Even common red clover con
tains as high as 10 per cent hard
seeds. If this seed is scarified, i. e.,
the shell of the seed scratched by be
ing blown over a sandpaper surface,
from 90 to 100 per cent of the hard
seeds germinate the first year. This
process also hastens germination of
all the seed. It is thus seen that this
process is of great value, and the
benefit derived is out of all proportion
to the cost.

Hibbing Tribune: The report of
good times in Hibbing has been heard
in Europe. At least itj has been com

who left here during the war and
were on the point of remaining in
Europe for the rest of their days.
Word has come to countrymen from
the former Hibbing Jugo-Slavs. about
the mines reopening here and they
are anxious to return to the Mesaba
range. Immigration restrictions will
necessarily prevent many of them
from that country from returning to
the United States. The same condi
tion is true in the case of the Italian
miners who left here and who are
anxious to return. Mining men of the
range claim there was more truth
than poetry in the statement credited
to President Gary of the United
States Steel corporation when he said
that the present immigration bars
has had a tendency to keep many
laborers away from the United States
at a time when men were needed for
the basic industries of the country.
Eveleth News: An increase of SSO
per year was granted to every teacher
in the local school system, with the
exception of those who were already
receiving the maximum salary allow
ed. This was decided at the meeting
of the school board held last Tuesday
night. There was some discussion as
to allowing a double raise on account
of the fact that last year the local
school board did not give any raises.
However, since many of the systems
decreased their teachers’ salaries last
year, and the Eveleth system did not,
it was finally voted to allow the single
flat increase of SSO throughout the
system, with the exception noted. It
was stated that Gilbert and Mt. Iron
gave double increases this year.

George persuaded Dr. Holman to lo

that onto George. Wood cost only
$1 per load delivered and George Wag

Spring Colds Are Dangerous
This Simple Treatment Knocks A Cold Right Now
Heed the warning—at first sign of a cold this spring, get busy and
get rid of that cold. It’s a simple thing if you take it in time.
Send to the drug store for an ordinary jar of Muco Salve which
sells for 25 cents.
Melt a little of this salve in a spoon and inhale the vapors which
arise. This will clear the head, soothe the upper respiratory tract and
give nature a chance to heal the inflamed membranes.
If cold has gotten the start on you, take a good dose of oil at
bedtime and rub Muco Salve thickly on chest, covering same with warm
cloths, flannel preferably.
In the morning cold will probably be gone.
MOTHER
Keep Muco Salve on Hand at
All Times for Family
Use.
It has always been a mother’s job
to guard the family health. Mother
saves our lives every year.
Colds, spring colds, are mother’s
greatest fear for they so often lead
to grippe, influenza and pneumonia.
Don’t wait for colds to come. Get
a jar of Muco Salve from the drug
gist for a few cents and have it han
dy for use first time anyone sneezes.
Doctor’s Advice
Your doctor will tell you the com
mon cold is the forerunner of much
sickness. He advises you to take
every precaution against a cold and
to treat your cold at once.
ing morning about 4 o’clock Mrs. Pla
tisa got hold of a 22 caliber revolver
and went to a shed in the rear of the
home and shot herself. She then re
turned to the house and went to the
bedroom of her other two children,
fixed the bed clothes and then fell
over on the bed stating that she was
d3ne for. She was immediately taken
to the hospital, where she is now be
ing cared for and the doctors have
stated that she will come out all right
if infection does not set in.
Turkish Police Force.
The very pick of the Turkish de
tectives go about in almost Impene
trable disguises. They are medal of
honor men and speak many language^
but from their appearance they might
be the most ignorant and poverty
stricken of street venders, laborer!
and beggars.
The “Muco Treatment,” as some
call it, offers the simplest remedy and
probably easiest to use. It is pleas
ant and safe. Muco Salve contains
certain healing elements like turpen
tine and menthol that give off a
vapor, which, when inhaled through
the nose, reach the upper respiratory
tract—the seat of the trouble.
For deep seated chest colds get a
bottle of Muco-Solvent (Liquid). This
is the prescription of Dr. L. W. Giffen,
who is well remembered by the peo
ple of Neenah, Wis. As the name
implies it is a dissolvent which dis
integrates the mucous (phlegm) so
that it can be expectorated. Muco-
Solvent (Liquid) at 75 cents per bot
tle and Muco Salve at 25 cents per
jar form a combination that usually
relieves all kinds of colds.
Both are sold everywhere by all
druggists. We are positive you can
get it here of Theo. Toren, Central
Drug Store or Sampson & Ollermann.
