The Great Blast Furnace Enterprise Definitely

ASHLAND, Wis. June 2S-The great blast
furnace enterprise which has attracted the
attention of the business mems associa-
tlon of this city for the past few months.
has been definitely settled and the site
purchased. The location is a satisfactory
one to the company, and consists of a
block of forty-seven acres of land lust
southwest of the city. which has a front
age on the bay with splendid docking ia
cllltles. Mr.. James Z. York. of Minneap-
oils. general manager of the company.
has been in the city for the past few days
making arrangements for the commence
ment of the work of clearing off the
grounds for the buildings, etc Mr.. York
goes east in few days to make con-
tracts for the necessary machinery. En-
glneerS Will be set at work as soon as pos
Slble. The furnace contemplated is to
be one of the largest charcoal furnaces in
the United States, with all the latest i'm
provements, capable of making sixty tons
of pig iron daily. This, it is said, will
consume an average of one hundred and
ten tons of ore day the year round.
There are inexhaustible mines of the
tAi'S' h97seHhet ores III Close proNlmltS'
immense forests of timber for charcoal: :
railroads running in every direction to
furnish transportation facilities for the
ore and its product, besides a cheap water
way which guarantees cheap freights for
coal and other needed raw material.
The silver-lead district south of anday
lake, ON the Georgia range, is just now
receiving considerable attention, a party
of Milwaukeeans having started work
ing crew of miners on the vein. The ex-
lstence of silver there has been known for
many years, and the land was entered by
Hon. Daniel Wells, of Milwaukee, and
Hon. John I. Kingston, of Necedah. The
rock assays give good results, and every
thing indicates that silver as well as iron
will become product of the Gogebic
country.

Two Burglar Stories.
London Queen.

One night lady, on going to her bed
room, long after the rest of the household
had retired for the night, saw to her dis
may a mans foot protruding from the
drapery, of the toilet table. What was she
to do: Here was evidently burglar. the
house was a large, rambling old place,
and her room, at the very top so far dis
tant from the rest of the household that
should she call for help no one could pos
sibly hear her Like lightning the
thought flashed through her brain. If
she could only get at the gong in the hall
so as to alarm the household. But then
there was the fear of his following her.
Walking quietly out of the room she
closed the door, and finding the key ouC-
side turned it hastily in the lock, ran
down stairs and sounded such a furious
tattoo on the gong as speedily brought the
members of the household around her.
The gentlemen of the party, thinking it
rather good joke, ascended to secure
the would be burglar, and caught him in
the act of emerging from the ladies, room
he having succeeded in picking the lock.
after a short scuffle he was secured before
he could reach the window on the ground
floor by which he had effected an en-
trance.
A spice of humor is often exhibited in
the way some people rise to the occasion.
When. at 4 public dinner in London some
years ago, a gentleman saw a rather sus-
picious looking man opposite him at the
table pocket a silver spoon and fork. he
at once seized his spoon and stuck the
handle ostentatiously into his button hole.
On being asked to explain his extraorsi-
nary conduct he answered naively: "Ah. l
saw that gentleman over there pocket
his spoon and fork and SO concluded we
were all to take ours home with US too!''
The pockets of the designated gentleman
were searched and on the articles in ques-
tion being discovered there, he was hand
ed over to the police, feeling. We have no
doubt rather caught.

Facts.


RACINE, Wis, June % John Jamber
Is rapidly improving and at the present
rate Will be able to appear for examina-
ton IN day or two. His left ankle is
the worst, the injury being so great that
he cannot bear his weight upon it. There
Is no danger of his dying unless blood
poisoning should set in, which is not t
all probable. SO far as can be learned
no additional testimony in the case has
been obtained as to who placed the bomb
III the roadway. Mr.. Secor exhibited
number of threatening letters which he
had received previous to the attempt on
his life. They were written in the Bo-
hemian language and threatened his life
as well as that of the watchman at the
factory. Jamber will be arranged on
Thursday. He will waive examination
and furnish bonds to appear at the cir
cult court.
