P. Funk, of iineral department, state audi- ifice. In a bulletin issued he have the tor’s been made Ly, Sunday game will be called at ; gives these estimates: | 1, It is a question whether on the whole the Lake Superior district will ship as much ore this season as in 1910, the record year—43,440,000 tons —of which Minnesota shipped about 60 per cent or approximately 30,000,- 000. 2. Of the more than 125 opened and operated on the Mesaba range, twenty are state mines. Of these twenty, several were opered during the past year, namely the Scranton, Morton Woodbridge, Cavour Helmer, Cavacona, and Fay. 3. The Scranton is a promising mine contdining an admitted tonnage output. Aside from this the state of 19,000,000 tons, although the whole tract—120 acres—has not yet been thoroughly explored and a still great- er tonnage is expected. The mine belongs to the swamp land fund. 4. The first shipments of were made from the Cuyuna range this month and Minnesota can boast of three shipping iron ranges, the is possible that one of the state mine’s on the Cuyuna will enter the shipping list this season. 5. There was shipped in 1910, |from the state’s own mines 1,100,000 tons of cre, from which the school, university, and swamp lands funds were respectively enriched by $275,- 000, that is, a royalty of 25 per cent per ton accrues to the state on the | vermillion, Mesaba, and Cuyuna. It receives annually as minimum royal- ty payments and in annual rentals on undeveloped mines about $100,000. There are at present—in force—232 state mineral leases, of which, as stated, only twenty have been de- veloped to shipping mines. 6. One state mine—the Grant, so the state’s mining inspectors have informed the state auditor, intends to ship out this season 500,00 tons— this mine is near Buhl. Another, the | Pool, it is expected, will be not far behind in shipments. It is within ithe possibilities that the state will | receive royalty on an output of 2,- 00,000 tons this season, netting a revenue of $500,000 all of which will }go to enrich the permanent — school ‘and other funds of our common wealth. ‘mines, ore Twelve Saloonkeeper Arrested.

Juarez, Mex., May 22.—Officially designated representatives of the Mexican government and the revolu- tionists signed at the custom house here a peace agreement intended to end hostilities that have been waged in Mexico for the last six months. Though covering only the principal points negotiated so far the agree- ment practically records the conces- sions by the government of those de- mands which on Nov. 22 last started armed revolution in Mexico. Tele- grams announcing the signing of the agreement were dispatched through- out Mexico to both revolutionary and federal leaders. Constitutional restrictions prevent- ed the inclusion in the agreement the statement that the rebels will be per- mitted to suggest to various state leg- islatures the names of provisional governors and likewise that six of | the eight members of the new cabi- net have been chosen by the revolu- tionists. The agreement records, how- ever, that President Diaz and Vice President Corral will resign and that the government is to concentrate ics attentions on desired reforms. Judge Carbajal represented the fed- eral government and’ Dr. Vasquez Gomez, Francisco I. Madero, Sr., and Senor Pina Suarez acted for the revo- lutionists. The agreement was signed after three days of indecision, Francisco I. Madero, Jr., leader of the revolution, expressing the view that peace could be declared only when Senor de la Barra became provisional president and the new cabinet was installed. The troops, it is provided in the agreement signed, will be disbanded proprotionately as each state is re- stored to tranquillity. PLUNGES INTO CABINET GROUP Monoplane Kills the French Minister of War. Paris, May 22.—France paid a ter- rible toll for her magnificent endeavor to attain supremacy of the air when a monoplane, the driver of which had lost control, plunged into a group of members of the cabinet who had gathered to witness the start of the race from Paris to Madrid, killing the minister of war and injuring the prime minister, his son and a well known sportsman. Henri Maurice Berteaux, minister of war, was almost instantly killed. The injured are: Antoine Emmanuel Ernest Monis, premier and minister of the interior; Antoine Monis, son of the premier; Henri Deutsch de la Mourthe, the aged patron of aero- nautics, automobiling and other sports. A large number of other persons of note had narrow escapes from injury. | The accident occurred on the avia- tion field at Issy Les Molineux, where 200,000 persons had gathered to see the start of the race. PRESIDENT LIKES THE IDEA Would Be Pleased to Spend Summer of 1912 in Minnesota. St. Paul, May 21.—A dispatch from | Washington, D. C., says: “The proposition to establish a sum- mer White House at Wayzata, Lake Minnetonka, Minn., near Minneapolis, was received with favor by President Taft. “Representative Nye of Minnesota told Mr. Taft he would introduce in congress a bill appropriating money for a summer home there.

EASTERN STATES AFFECTEI Accusations Allege Maintain High Prices and the Use of the Blacklist. Conspiracy t New York, May 20.—Sweepir charges of a gigantic conspiracy i. maintain high prices, to blacklist co: cerns not regarded as “proper” tracc, and to violate generally the Sherman anti-trust law, are made in a govern- ment suit filed by Attorney Genera! Wickersham in the United States court here against the so called lum- ber trust. Ten trade organizations and more than 150 individuals are named as de- fendants in this suit, which may be the first of several planned by the de- partment of justice against combina- tions and retailers in staple commodi- ties and the necessaries’of life to prevent the ultimate consumer from buying anywhere, except from local retailers. The government’s suit is replete with sensational allegations and it is asserted that builders and consumers of lumber the country over are at the mercy of the retailers’ organizations in different sections of the United States. The suit filed is against the Eastern States Retail Lumber Dealers’ asso- ciation, which is the central body of nine local organizations covering five states, the District of Columbia and the cities of Baltimore and Philadel- phia. Blackmailing System Alleged. The government charges, in brief, that by an elaborate system of black- listing not only individual consumers but some of the largest industrial corporations have been prevented from dealing directly with wholesalers. By alleged unlawful agreements and acts, it is charged, that all competi- tion for the trade of the contractor, the builders, the manufacturer of fin- ished lumber products and the indi- vidual consumers has been thrown entirely into the hands of the retailers in the Eastern States’ Retail Lumber Dealers’ association and its constitu- ent organizations. The government’s bill alleges that in some localities the wholesaler sell- ing to a consumer has either been heavily fined or expelled from the or- ganization. Officials of the department of ius- } case involvin mce regard tne suie portart in princtpai o! taken by the government az leged conspiracies said to affect tne cost of living. It is believed that should the courts uphold the government’s conten that it is a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law to prevent the ultimate consunzer from buying direct from the | producer, other suits will be started against combinations of retailers al leged to be in control of the market ing of many of the commodities ot life.
