Elgin has won the Insane Asylum. Alter a
dozen ballots on Tuesday she got her fifth vote,
giving her majority of the nine commission.

failed to bid up high enough. There were.
all through the fight, four commissioners who
said they would vote for Ottawa rather than

Iron Manufacture.

On the completion of the Railroad from
Ottawa to Streator, when the best coal in the
state, in large quantity, can be unloaded at
Ottawa at from So to $3.50 per ton, what is
there to prevent the erection of blast furnaces
at Ottawa for the manufacture of Iron? We
are told that the Vermilion coal is equal to
the best charcoal for the manufacture of iron.
1t is wholly free from sulphur, and burns as
clean as charcoal. 1t is at least worth while
to have the coal tested with a view of its
adaptation to the purpose suggested.
Should such test prove favorable, iron can
be made as cheap at Ottawa as at any point
we know of. In confirmation of this view
we have the view of the Philadelphia North
American, quoted by the Tribune, in regard to
the proposed establishment of iron works at
Indianapolis. Coal, very much like that riased
ON the Vermilion, we are told, can be laid
down at Indianapolis at about the cost of
Vermilion coal ut Ottawa. "In that case"
reasons the North american, "on the assump-
ton that the iron can be brought to Indian
opolis from Lake Superior at 50 per ton,
Pennsylvania would be nowhere in her COM
petition with Indiana in the manufacture of
iron"
ut is claimed that the Lake Superior ores
yield sixtysix per cent. of their weight in iron,
while those of Pennsylvania average but
thirty-three, and that ten tons of Western
limestone are equal for fuxes to twelve tons of
the Allegheny limestone. Upon these ele-
ments OF cost, it has been computed by those
forward in promoting the Indiana enterprise
that the margin for profit on the manufacture
Of the same quantity of iron will be six times
greater in Indiana than in Pennsylvania"
What is true in this matter in reference to
Indianapolis is certainly as true of Ottawa, if
the Vermilion coal is all right. At present
half the Lake Superior ore is carried to Pitts
burg to be manufactured into iron. If there
is profit in the business after the enormous
expense involved in transporting the ore such
a distance, what must the profit be here'
