A RICH DEPOSIT OF IRON ORE FOUND AT KELLIHER A Solid Ledge Discovered at Depth of Five Hundred Feet ---Drill Penetrates Qver Sixty Feet of Ore---Other Drills to Be Lowered at Once. Kelliher Journal: When the drilling for iron ore was com- menced last August, a short dis- tance south of towi, it was gen- erally believed by those ac- quainted with the conditions ex- isting in the country surrounding Kelliber, that iron ore would sooner or later be discovered. But the hopes of even the most enthusiastic probably never real- ized the extent of the deposits nor the richness of the ore. The drill which bas been oper- ated almost continuously since last August, con pleted its worlk, i quality of iron ore. having drilled to a dapth of over 500 feet. Although small de- points and exact position of the ledge determined. It was known, or at least sus pected, as early as 1905 that iron ore existed in this vicinity. Cruisers and woodsmen experi- enced great difficulty in running lines, the needle of the compass swinging in all directions at certain places. At a point about six miles southwest of Kelliher ithere is a ledge of ore that breaks through the surface of the ground. This ledge at che surface contains an inferior These facts led J. H.

MISS STEWART FOUND AT 10WA HOSPITAL Became Demented on Train and Could not Give' Name of Relatives Taken to Hospital. Legarding the mysterious dis- appearance of Miss Capitola Stewart, who has been lost for the past month, it now appears! that she became sick on the tran while enroute to the. home of her sister, at Decorah, lowa, and being unable to tell the; name of relatives or the place of| her destination she is placed in} the hospital at Decorah, Iowa. And while her sister, whois ai resident of that town and -to! searching the northwest for her lost sister, Miss Stewart was ill in the hospital, and part of the time so sick she did not know those about her. Regarding her mysterious dis- appearance we take the following from the Minneapolis papers: Daily News: Word was re- ceived in Minneapolis late Friday that Capitola Stewart, the Be- through Minneapolis New Year’s night disappeared, has been found in a hospital at Decorab, | She is demented: De: but her friends there to the police s0 was taken to the hospital.

All members of the council concurred and agreed that the] public library was a good idea and a public institution which should be kept up by the city. ‘And in accepting the gift of the ladies the members were ready and willing to give so good an in- stitution their hearty assistince. The acceptance of this library is the beginning of one of the | best library associations in this part of the state, and from time to time additions will be made and it is the intention of the council that ,Bemidji’s library shall have the best and latest books obtainable. The library association was or- ganized a little over three years ago and received its start from a book shower, at which time G14! bocks were donated, av the same | time an entertainment was given which resulted in a large cash subscription for this institution. At a meeting of the association held January 9, a resolution was! unanimously passed requestiug’ the city to take the library and equipment, and Mrs.- M. A, Spooner and Mrs. E. H. Marcum appointed & committee to wait on the council aud present this re- quest.

According to the previsions. the charter, a library board wi be formed consisting of thy mayor, the principal of schools, and three members to be ap-' pointed by the mayor (two of whom may be women) and to be appointed to serve for one, two! and three years, respectively. — - The charter also provides that a small annual tax may be levied® for the muintenance and support of this institu:ion, a3 Since the organization of the association three years ago the — library has grown steadily and is now a library of 1,400 volumes with an average monthly circula- tion of about 500 volumes. Aside from the acceptance of the library the regular routine 2 business was transacted and the usual bills audited and allowed. The application of Clavin & Tarn-r for license to sell intoxi- cating liquors was accepted and ordered published. The report of Judge Skinvik | for fines collectad for December, 1906, was audited and accepted. A resolation was also passed ask- ing for his January report to be filed before the next meeting. The city treasurer’s and ciy | clerk’s reports were presenl;§> and discussed. Both were lai over until the next meehing‘ in order to give the two .officials time ia-which to compare and complete same. 5 The matter of the condition offg the county roads was taken . under consideration and t‘l,zia_,'g_ street commissioner was given | authority to work city prisoners, if there were any available, in‘ghei clearing the roads within the< city Jimits.
