GRAND RAPIDS! CLOSE CALL Thursday Morning About 2 O'Clock Fire Was Discovered by Officer O’Brien on West Side Krem- er & Kremer’s Store. A series of disastrous fires in Itasca county have taken place since last Sunday morning when the principal busmess portion of Koochiching was destroyed. According to the reports sent out to the press there is very litde left of the old town. The greatest loss was suffered by citizens of Deer River Tuesday morn- ing when one entire business block It was about 3 o’clock in the morning when fire was discovered in the rear of Willis & Fulwood’s saloon building. The wind was favorable to the fire and not a buil ‘ing in the block was saved. It was only by hard work that the business building of A, D. & P. R. Brooks was saved. and had that caught fire the News office and postoffice would also have gone up in flames, As it was they both had a very close call. Starting at Wilhs & Fulwood’s saloon the fire rapidly made progress the whole length of the block. six buildings in all. Jones Bros., saloon; James Ever- ton & Son, general merchandise; C. W. Robinson, saloon; Eli Lazelle, barber shop; and Geo, ‘I’. Robinson, saloon, The entire loss will foot foot up to per- haps $20,000, which was covered with about $7,000 insurance. ‘The F. P. Sheldo. agency had written $1,500 for Willis & Fullwood, $500 for Jones Bros.. and $800 for Geo. T. Robin- son; C. W. Robinson had $1,000 writ- ten by H. E,. Graffam, and James Everton & Son carried $3,500 with a Duluth agency and the Mercantile Retail Insurance company. ‘The energy and enterprise shown by the people of our neighboring vil- lage was characteristic of them in all matters. ‘They immediately vegan re- building and in most cases they were doing business the next day. Tempor- ary structures were erected on the street in which to continue selling goods while the permanent buildings are being erccted. Sunday morning about 2 o’clock fire was discovered in the kitchen of the Hotel Itasca at Cohasset. ‘The only means at hand with which to ex- tinguish 1t was a bucket brigade or- ganized after the citizens had been aroused by the alarm, ‘heir efforts ere unavailing and the building was quickly reduced to ashes, together with a blacksmith shop which was standing close by. The loss is said to considerably exceed $2,000, the amount of insurance carried. Grand Rapids narrowly escaped a very disastrous conflagration Thursday morning. As Night Marshal John O’Brien was passing along ‘Lhird street about two o’clock his attention was attracted toa blaze on the west side of Kremer & Kremer’s grocery store, The fire was making rapid progress up the side of the building. He immediately gave the alarm and with the assistance. of two or three men who happened to, be up at that hour water was carried from the foun- tain across the street and apphed to the flames. The fire department res ponded with unusual alacrity and in an incredibly short space of me a stream was turned on, preventing but very tittle damage. ‘The wiud was blow'ng from the west and haa the fire worked its way into the building it would have been a difficult matter to have saved any of the buildings on the west side of Leland avenue between Second and Third streets. ‘The origin of the fire 1s a mystery. ‘Two full kerosene barrels were found to be very close to where the fire was burning when discovered and which the Messrs. Kremer say were léft about twenty feet to the south of where found. It 1s thought by many that the fire was of incendiary origin and that the barrells were placed in close proximity with it for the purpose of carrying out in the most effeciual manner the design of the fire fiend. Others are inclined to the opinion that the careless throwing of a lhghted match or a cigar stub caused the trouble. In any event. it resulted very fortunately when it might have been most disastrous. Married At Aitkin Last Tuesday evening Mr. Hugh McRae aud Miss Teresa McMonagle were married, by Rey. Father Wurm, at the residence of the bride’s broth- er, Tins McMonagle. Miss Jessie Kempton attended the bride, and John McDonald assisted the groom. After the ceremony a bounteous wed- ding supper was served. The happy couple left the same evening ona wedding trip to the cities, after which they will go to Duiuth’to re~ side for thesummer Before leaving, the bride presented Miss Jessie Kempton with a havdsome watch chain of solid gold—Aipkin Age. ADY FOR THE RACES GETTING. RE nd Rapids Firemen, Base Ball Team and Gwn Ciub on to Cass Lake. Ifthe Grand Rapids firemen per- form as activeiy and “get there” with as much alacrity at the tournament in Cass Lake ‘as characterized their re- sponse to the alarm last Thursday morning at 2 o’clock, the boys will return {rom the meeting with their full share of the prizes. During the past six weeks Captain Riddell has had his men out to practice several evenings each week and they have made some pretty good time. Captain Riddell is satisfied that his team will acquit themselves with credit, although he does not claim that Grand Rapids will be the whole thing at the tournament. Mr. Riddell says he expects about twenty-five members of the depart- ment will go up from here. The team will be made up of the following: Art Seamanand Wm. Dibbert, nozziemen; Emil Litchke and Lyman Seaman, hydrantmen; Miller Williams, Albert Haschay, Ed. Logan, Ezra Freemont, John Cress, James Doran, Charley Hammer, Wm. Nolmbrook, Ole Green and Emil Green, hose cart; Harry: Varley, Carley Doran, Ezra Freemont and Miller Williams will en- ter the ladder contest. The Grand Rapids base ball team will go to Cass Lake and cross bats with any team thereaway that hap- pens to accept their challenge. When it comes: to breaking clay pigeons the It2sca Gun club is strictly init,and quite a delegation of the members are figuring on paying their respects to the gun men of the reserva- tion town during the days of the tournament. Finally Won Out Charles E. Seelye is to be congrat- ulated. After more than two years of htigation with F, W. Porter, his form- er partner in logging operations on the Chippewa reservation, in which the case was carried through all the departments at Washington and to the United States courts, he was final- ly paid the neat sum of about $9,000 the other day at White Earth agency. The Primaries On Thursday afternoon the Repub- licans of the county held their prima- ties and elected delegates to the coun- ty convention, to be held ia Grand kkapids on the 25th. Yesterday the Democrats held their primaries and performed a similar duty. This after- noon the Democrats will hold their county convention for the election of delegates to the state convention to be held in Minneapolis on Wednesday next. The Winkle Boys’ Case The Bridgie News says of the fn- dictment of the Winkle boys, of Bridgie: ‘Fred and Otto Winkle, of Bridgie, were indicted by the grand jury last week for assault in the sec- ond degree. This was on complaint of-W. W. Orcutt and the result of a petty neighborhood quarrel. Public sympathy is with the Winkle boys, and under the existing circumstances there is very little doubt as to the re- sult. A deputy sheriffcame and took them to Grand Rapids last Friday to answer to the indictment” Embarks in Business for Himself Geo. W. Wallace, of Duluth, has re- signed as general manager of the Cor- rigan, McKinney & Company mining interests, and is succeeded by Amos Shepherd, who has held a subordinate position under Mr. Wallace. Supt Wallace has engaged in the mining business on his own account. For a considerable time he has been explor- ing in the Grand Rapids district, and it is said that he has several fine properties on the west end of the range that are far enough advanced to be known as mines.” , Mr. Wallace is a valuable man in the iron tields, and his many friends will be pleased to learn of his deci- sion to devote his experience and en- ergy to his own benefit. He was the superintendent in charge of the Fayal mine for a number of years and his splendid work while there brought forth encomiums from the highest mining men in the country. Two years ago he accepted a flattering offer made by Messrs. Corrigan, Mc- Kinney & Company and became the manager of their several iron mines on the different ranges. His admin- istration has been a very successful one and his employers were loath to to accept his resignation. Amos Shepherd, his successsor, is fully quallified by long and faithful service to take on the responsibility the high position envolyes. Mr. Shepherd started his career in the wining world with the old Menom- inee Mining company, the pioneer ex- ploiter of the Menominee range, twenty-two years -ago, and was first stationed at Quinesec, Mich. He has devoted all the years since then to the mining business, and 1t has been apleasure to tbe writer to note his advance step by step, as the years roiled on, nontil now he occupied a position second to none in the science of mining iron ore. —Iron Ore. This is the time to put up Straw- berries. Metzger has them of the best quality and in abundance, Reported That Three Million Dollars Has Been Offered For Property é OLIVER-SNYDER STEEL CO. Said to Have Taken Option on the Mine at That Figure—Holman Forty Takes Another Big Jump. The end is not yet in big money for iron mining properties. It isreported that the Oliver-Snyder Steel company has either purchased or taken an op- tion on the purchase of the Arcturus mine, on the western end of the Mesa- ba rarge, at $3,000,000., accordiug to yesterday’s Duluth Herald. It will be recalled that about three months ago an option for the pur- chase of the property at $750,000 was given through Charles Purdon and the Eaton brothers to George C. Howe, P. L, Kimberley and others. This option is supposed to expire onthe 12th of next month, In the meantime fur- ther operations with the idea of prov- ing up the extent of the deposit as well as the quality of the same have been going on under the direction of Capt. Henry Jarchow. The body of ore on this property is supposed to- bg one of the most enor- mous on the Mesaba range. What ore has been shown up has been large- ly on one forty, while the property embraces 1600 acres in one parcel and | a small piece in another location. The value of it is enhanced by the fact that the purchase frees the buyer from the necessity of paying royalties, for he will own the fee himself. The report that the property has again been sold is denied by some of those who were interested in the or- iginal optioning of the property. It is said that of the $750,000 to be paid fur the original sale, Charles Purdon will receive $80,000, the Eatons $60,000 and the St. Cloud people $600,000. The iron ore has been found on sec- tions 13 and 14-56-25. The taking of an aption on the Hoi- man forty mine on the new western end of the Mesaba range, has been verified in an author- itative quarter. It is denied, how- ever, that the option has been formal- ly acted upon, though it is admitted thatthe present intention is to close the deal ard acquire the property from Morton Miller. \ The Denora Mining company, which holds the option, is the mining in- terest of the Union Steel company, and the entrance of such a large con- summing company on the new part of the range is believed to be an angury of early mining operations there. The Cleveland-Cliffs Company is known to be exploring on the new Western Mesaba. The Oliver com- pany, otherwise the Steel corporation, is also investigating sume prospects there. J. J. Hill interests are explor- ing actively in the same general locali- ty, and exploratory crews under the direction of George W. Wallace are working on several propositions. The particular significance of the interesting of the Donora people, near Grand Rapids, would seem to be that it points to the early use of this ore in stee] making. The fact that ore has been known to exist ‘n that part of the country almost as long as on the Mesaba proper, but that until Charles Pruden proved that the sand could be washed from it by the Southern pro- cess, it is believed, places a very large feather in the future cap of fame of that gentleman. Until he showed that this ore could be worked in the furnaces, and made a fortune for him- self, iron men labored under the de- lusion that it was an impossible ore expect at a large cost of washing. ‘This extra cost 1s now estimated as low as 15 cents a ton. ‘Phere are various reports about the amount that bas or is to be paid for the Holman forty. Holman sold the fee in the first place for $30.000. He gave an option to halfa dozen Vir- ginia men, including Capt. Tom Jones, about a year ago, and they be- gan exploratory operations. Then they took in Morton Miller and gave him a half interest forthe amount they were to pay Holman for the whole property. When it came to close the deal with Holman, about two months ago, it transpired that fhe explorers had sold the other half for $150,000, or $180,000 for the whole; Now it issaid that Mr. Miller has sold tothe Donora company for either $300,000 or $400.000. x The Holman forty is in section 21- 56-24. It has been estimated that it contained at least 7,000,000 tons of ore, but officially it was admitted that there was only 4,000,000 tons.
