The Great Northern Iron Ore Properties is a Minnesota-based company that leases its more than 12,000 acres on the Mesabi Iron Formation in Minnesota to mining companies and is paid royalties from these companies' extractions. The trust was formed in 1906 to own the properties of an affiliate of the former Great Northern RailRoad and its beneficiaries were the heirs of railroad founder James Hill. The last survivor covered by the trust, grandson Louis Hill, died in 1995 and in 2015, 20 years after Louis Hill's death, the land will be transferred to a unit of Burlington Resources, which is a spin-off of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe RailRoad. Joseph S. Micallef is the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Board of Trustees of Great Northern Iron Ore Properties. During the late 1890s, Louis W. Hill became interested in acquiring iron ore interests on the Mesabi Iron Range in northeastern Minnesota, confident that the iron ore would prove a valuable income source of traffic for the Great Northern Railway Company and that the ownership of iron ore itself would add great value to Great Northern Railway and its stockholders. These mineral interest acquisitions were primarily titled in the name of Louis W. Hill and several other companies owned by the Lake Superior Company, Limited, a Michigan partnership composed of James J. Hill and some of his associates. At the time, a Minnesota law provided that only 5,000 acres of land may be owned by any one company, which evolved from the federal Sherman Antitrust Act. Consequently, it was necessary to have the lands owned by several different entities, of which James J. Hill was the primary stockholder. In 1899, the Lake Superior Company, Limited, entered into a contract with Great Northern Railway and, by 1906, all the iron ore lands and mineral interests previously acquired and titled under the various fee ownership interests were transferred to the Lake Superior Company, Limited. Under the Hepburn Act of 1906, no railroad was permitted to haul commodities which they had produced themselves, causing the Great Northern Railway to direct the Lake Superior Company, Limited, to transfer its stock in the mining property companies to the Great Northern Iron Ore Properties. The restrictive land ownership statute provision was repealed in 1956 and all of the assets of the liquidated companies were transferred to direct ownership of the Trustees of Great Northern Iron Ore Properties. Over 650 million tons of natural iron ore and taconite ore (the latter in the form of pellets) have been shipped from the Trust's properties. The Trust maintains offices in St. Paul and Hibbing, Minnesota. Harold P. Bend (1870-1974) was born in Minnesota, had a mother with a maiden name of Tomes, and died in Ramsey County. John E. Seabury ( -1921) died in Ramsey County. Sheldon T. Berkowitz and Carolyn J. Levy are the owners of record of the property.

In 1888, Theophilus Van Kannel (1841-1919) of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, invented and patented the revolving door for use in high-rise buildings, where regular doors are hard to open because there is a slight vacuum caused by air flowing upwards through stairwells, elevator shafts, and chimneys. Van Kannel was apparently motivated in his invention by a longstanding dislike of the chivalrous expectation that males open doors for females and only enter a building or room second. It initially was marketed as a "storm door" and as helping to avoid the entrance of "noxious effluvia" and "baleful miasmas."

Bilansky was the first European-American and the only woman hanged for a criminal offense in Minnesota. Bilansky was convicted based entirely on questionable testimony from the Ramsey County coroner and on circumstantial evidence. Out of the six tests for arsenic poisoning available in 1860 and out of the five tests actually used, only one, the reduction test, was presented in testimony as a result consistent with arsenic, while two others failed to produce a positive result for arsenic and two proved unreliable. According to Stew Thornley, Ann Bilansky is buried in an unmarked grave in Calvary Cemetery. The earliest female hanging in America is reported to be Jane Champion in 1632 in Virginia.
