The board of arbitration to whom was left the problem of establishing a royalty rate for coal mined from state lands, m^t in Duluth Friday last and fixed the price at iy2 cents per ton. Last winter when Duluth men leased extensive tracts of land in Aitkin county for coal explorations the prospective industry was given a severe jolt through the insistence of state officers that the royalty on all coal mined on state lands should be the same as the. royalty on iron ore, 25 cents per ton. The nfatter was finallv adjudicated by an agree ment to leave the question to an ar bitration commission of three. The state land commissioner selected the Hon. George Egerton, St. Paul, and the Quodenaw Coal Co. chose Thomas A. Merritt, of Duluth. The third member of the commission as chosen by these two was ex-Senator Hodge, of Pine City.- The commis sion was guided in its deliberations by statistics from other coal pro ducing states west of the Pennsyl vania fields. In Michigan it is 8 cents per ton, in Kentucky 10 cents, and in Iowa 6 to 20 cents. mm Lake Superior Mining Institute. A.

Ward and N. J. E. Welsh." All goods marked in plain figures and you can figure your owii. dis counts. Hall. Lays With the Receiving Ports. "The question of whether the Lake Superior region will forward as much iron ore this year as last will depend on how well they take care of the product at the other end of the lake route," says a well informed vessel man. "There has heen con siderable talk lately to the effect thai shipments this year will be several million tons less than-in 1902, and it may turn out that way. But it is safe to say that there will be no decrease this year if the re ceiving docks and furnace yards will stand the pressure of the ship ping ports on Lake Superior. The only fear that they may not is that much of our last season's tonnage has not been consumed. The short age of coke had much to do with the lack of consumption during the winter, and the effect is likely to be felt in decreased shipments of ore from some points. But as a gener al proposition the ore shipments from Lake Superior are pretty sure to equal those of last year." Greatest Discount Sale yet at Hall's. Officials Visit the Ranges.
