During the past twelve months, this little city has made wonder- ful strides in going to the fore as a commercial and' business center for the north half of Beltrami county thatlies east of Red Lake, and the year has been a most prosperous one for the business men and citizens of Kelliber generally, The village has had a liberal set of village officers to look after its municipal: affairs; and with William Lenncn at the head of the council, “‘forward” bas been the slogan of a united community determined to make this place one of the leading towns of the county: Many new business -houses have been established here, and there is a general - air of pros- perity that angurs well for the development of Kelliher. s One of the : most imporfant fransactions of the year, aiid one that will possibly change the en- tire manner in which this village will developis the work being done here in prospecting for iron NG, DECEMBER 31. 1906. pine; ¢ dar, tumarack aud pulp wood, and wany homesteadors are also logging their timber and s:dling it in Kclliher. These operations necessitale the em- ployment of a large number. of | men, and as Kelliher is head | quarters for all these companies and private individuals, this vil- lage is benefitting from a large trade with local merchants. The roads leading to the village have been put in good condition, and the homesteaders are able to come to Kelliher for their sup- plies. There are three stages carrying mail and transporting baggage and supplies from Kel- liber to various postoffices. Kelliher will go to the front with rapid strides during 1907. "Surprise Party.

The baggage and ex- press car caused no end of trouble and delay, and was fin- ally set out from the front of the train t>the rear. A “knuckle” on the automatic coupler was broken and would not hold the car. Zeke Smith, conductor on the train, exhibited much patience, under trying conditions. Zeke is chaplain of the Ancient and Preferred Order of Gobblers of Duluth; but it will take consider- able of a “spielfest’”’ from Zeke to square him with the order for the noble burst of profanity in which he induiged in the ‘“wee sma’ hours” of this morning, down about Swan River.

A crew of men has been laboring ~ diligently since last Avugust, drilling for iron ore, and it is believed that the village of Kelliher is = located directly on the range that contains the vein of ore that extends westward from the Messaba iron mines,| This crew- has on several oc- casions struck ore, but not in sufficient quantities -to - be con- sidered as *‘pay dirt,” as yet, || However, during the past two weeks, the drill has worked through a vein four feet in thick- ness, The men here make daily reports to the main office of the syndicate in Chicago, and they state that they believe they have at last struck the edgejof a ledge of ore that is of large propor- tions and will prove a rich find, They ‘have been ordered to move a few feet north of their present location (one mile south of this village) and the results of weeks will mean much to Kelli- her. Should a large deposit of ore be located, the work of in- stalling the necessary parapher- nalia for mining will be immed- iately commerced. Prospecting for iron ore 18 of ‘necessity a tedious task, and as the utmost secrecy is at all times maintained about the scene of operations, it may possibly take another six months or a year to -accurately || ascertain just how much of a de- posit of ore thereisin the vicinity of Kelliher, and whether it will pay to mine the ore. However, the information that has gradu- ally ‘Jeaked out’’ concerning the operations of the drilling crew is of such an encouraging character that many here believe that ore will be found in paying quantities and that Kelliher will take its place among the prosperous iron mining towns of the state. Much logging is being done around Kelliher this winter, The Crookston Lumber company, the Grand Forks Lumber company, R. E.
