Merritt told of tho hardships of llfo on tho range, his difficulties in discovering tho oro pockets nnd his Jubilation, whon In 1S91 his miners brought into Duluth a bushel of pay oro out of tho iMesuba range. "I hnvo never been In Jallyot," ho snld seriously, "but I havejbeen In tho legislature und thnt Is worse, I havo been a lobbyist. I put through n law permitting tho leasing of oro lnnds In smnjl quantities hy poor peo ple.
