TO BE OPEN WINTER PRESENT WEATHER TAKEN AS IN- DICATING THAT, - —— Conditions Existing Now Considered Remarkable and Some Accept It dJoyfully While Others Are Fear- fal—Loggers Among the Latter’ Class for Operations in Woods’ May Be Hampered By Weather. There seems to be a very general im- pression that the coming winter will be mild. There is scarcely a suggestion of winter. The most notable sugges- tion, both of ‘them unusual, to be seen thus far that winter is just ahead, is the new curling rink and the high price of coal. There is not enough ice in the slips to be worthy of the name, whereas there was considerable ice a year ago in the slips of the Duluth- Superior harbor. It was just a year’ ago that the big wind storm swept Lake Superior, in which the steamers Arthur Orr, Tampa, Harlem and the Osceola went ashore. The weather thus far this month has been remark- ably mild and free of storms. Ordi- narily some of the coldest weather of the winter is experienced during this‘ month. It may be truly said that it is | not too late yet but there is believed by many to be considerable mild weather yet in store. The weather in November has been even less threatening than in the latter part of October. Only a few days more remajn to decide whether the under- writers of lake hulls and cargoes make big profits or not. One _ disastrous storm between Nov. 1 and Dec. 1 might turn all the accumulated profits of the season into loss. The dredge contractors feel sure of erating their dredges in the Duluth- Superior harbor until Dec. 1 at least. They got a rather late start in the spring and if they can work without interruption until the first of next month it will mean much to the con- tractors. They will probably show an increase this year in the output of material from the harbor of 500,000 cubic yards as compared with last year. Usually at this time of the year the sawmills are hampered in the operations as a result of ice form- ing about the Iogs in the booms. There is no ice this year and the sawmills that have the logs to keep them run- ning, and most of them have, are ap- parently in no immediate danger of haying to shut down. The mild weather is regarded with satisfaction by the contractors on the new ship canal piers and others that have building operations in hand. The loggers, however, are becoming alarmed at the non-appearance of winter even in a mild form. Indian summer weather at this date is, they fear, the forerunner of an open winter. If the winter proves to be soft logging operations will be seriously checked. A very large amount of logs have to be hauled by team over swampy places and it is essential to good results tha the swamps freeze hard enough dur- ing the winter to keep the roads in good condition. Cold weather is more imperative than much snow in the log- ging business. OLIVER CO. HAS OPTION. Investigating the Diamond Property. It is said that the Oliver Mining com- pany holds an option for a lease to the Diamond iron mine, situated near Grand Rapids, Minn. It is known that there is an option out on the property and that it will expire about Dec. 1. The people of Grand Rapids are very much interested in the prospects that the long neglected iron property will be developed on a higher scale. The impression that the Oliver Mining company holds the option on the Dia- mond mine property is based on the fact that W. W. Billson is acting as attorney for the prospective share- holders. Mr. Bilson is at Grand Rap- ids now working on the matter. The work of unwatering the Dia- mond mine has been in progress for some time under the direction of E. W. Griffin, who is largely interested in the property. The Diamond mine lies about nine miles northeast from Grand Rapids and is one of the few promis- ing properties on the far western side of the Mesaba. It is said that if it is assured that the mine will be devel- oped and become a shipper of suffi- cient importance, that the Eastern Minnesota will at once build a branch line to the property. It is said that surveyors have alread looked the ground over with a view to construct- ing a Diamond mine branch and that it will probably be built from Black- berry, a station six miles south of Grand Rapids, but about the saime dis- tance from the mine as the latter. Grand Rapids people feel that the de- velopment of the mine will be of great importance to their business interests as much of the supplies for the mines would naturally come from there. ‘The Diamond mine, according: to an ore man, has never been regarded as a valuable property, as the ore is said to be rather lean. What more exten- sive development of the property will reveal remains to be seen. The persistence with which the ex- plorations for ore are conducted in Cook county has finally aroused the curiosity of iron ore men. It is said that the Johnson Nickel company is backed by some large interest. Two diamond drills have been at work in Cook county for some years and the re- ports as to the discoveries are con- flicting. It is said that the cores are shipped East. A large amount of mon~ ey has been expended and iron ore has been found. Details, however, are not given out by the company. Tron ON VARIOUS TOPICS. The wife of Admiral Dewey has al- ways been popular among the poor of Washington because of her charities. She has attended to these personally, and has been a familiar figure in the hospitals. Senator Clark, of Montana, is a very early riser. He is up and about by 6:30 every morning and when it is possible never goes without less than eight hours sleep. In times of action, however, he can get ajong with much less rest than most men. Judge Albert G. Norrell, of Utah, formerly of Mississippi, speaking re- cently in his home state of Congress- man-elect Brigham H. Roberts, said: “Roberts is really a man of consider- able ability. Physically he is one of the finest-looking men I ever saw, and were it not for his plurality of. wives he would be regarded as a good citi- zen anywhere.” Dr. Thomas J. Hillis, the New York physician, who recently created some- thing of a, sensation by declaring that whiskey was a food and a good thing under certain conditions, has had his remarks so much garbled by the ad- vertisers of a certain brand of whisky that he has brought suit for libel and asks damages to the amount of $100,000. There are few people who can claim to hae heard their own funeral ser- mon. Rev. E. R. Johnson, of Mul- berry, Ind., once passed through this unique experience. While suffering from an attack of catalepsy Mr. John- son was declared dead, and as he was lying in his coffin he heard his funeral sermon preached by a brother minister. He was conscious of what was taking place about him, heard the physician pronounce him dead, and witnessed the preparation made for his burial. The spell was broken just after the eulogy had been pronounced, and his restora- tion to health followed. French medical science has dis- covered that articial eyelashes are not beyond the wit of man. With a needle threaded with hair the obliging doctor will now sew on to anybody’s bald eye- lids the most beautiful long and lan- gurous lashes. The operation sounds a little painful, but probably is no worse than a stitch in the side. On ‘the ranch of Paul Miller, at Bradley Flat, near Hot Springs, S. D., is a ledge of rock which seems to pos- sess all the properties of a photo- graphic plate. When the rock is moist it will show, after a thunderstorm, a cleagy photograph of the surrounding trees and bushes. Gradually pictures so taken seem to fade out, being re- newed by each new thunderstorm, though the same objects are not al- ways reproduced. The rock seems to be a combination of flint and sandstone and is of a dirty red color. A person can ride on a street car in Adrian, Mich., for three cents, pro- vided one hundred tickets be bought at one time. Single fares are five cents. This arrangement has proven very profitable to the company, for people ride many times where they would ride only once if they had to pay five cents fare. MANY IMMIGRANTS COMING. Large Amount of Prepaid Business Provided Already. While the steamship travel from the United States to Europe will not be as heavy as usual, it is said that the immigrant business will be more ex- tensive this year than for several years. There is a large amount of what is called “prepaid business.” Many of the people that came from foreign countries are sending tickets to friends and relatives in order that they may come here. Travel from the United States to Eu- rope this year will be light, it is said, owing to the high price for labor and the scarcity of men. In former years many people that had come here from across the water would return to spend the winter. They could live so much more cheaper over there that they were really nothing out after paying their fares both ways. TO APPEAL LAND GRANT CASE. State Officers determined to Carry Iron Range Case to Last Resort. The Iron Range Land grant case will be appealed by the state. It was decided against the state last week by Judge Lochren in the United States district court. Governor Lind, Audi- tor Dunn and Attorney General Douglas, as the commission in charge of the case, discussed it today for two hours with E. P. Warner, special counsel, and H. W. Childs, who argued the case. It was agreed that a case so impor- tant should be maintained to the last resort. The general opinion is that the state would have a better chance if it could get the case before the state court first. Impromptu Invitation, The leading lady in a theatre in Old- ham, England, recently had an un- usual experience. The hero had said to her: “I have nothing left to offer you—not even the hope of better days to come,” but in saying so he reckoned without his landlady. That realistic and emotional person was in the cir- cle, and her lodger’s pathos was too much for her. “Never heed lad!” she sang out at the top of a shrill voice. “Thee hath gotten a real good sooper waiting at home; then bring t’ wench wi’ thee.’”—London News. A One Man Duel. One of the stories thait the -late James Payn, the novelist, liked most to tell was about what he called an American duel, wherein two duelists with one second, met within doors and drew lots to decide which should shoot himself. A was the unlucky man and without a word he retired into the next apartment to carry out the purpose of self-destruction. B and the second, both very much moved by the tragedy of the situation, remajned in listening attitudes. At last the pistol was heard; they shuddered with emotion and remorse, when suddenly in rushed the supposed dead man, triumphantly exclaiming, “Missed, by Heaven!”— Collier’s Weekly.
