STEEL PLANT AT SUPERIOR.
Notwithstanding the efforts being
made at Grassy Point, on the Duluth
side of st. Louis bay. to get blast fur
mace started, it appears now from a
statement of Manager WemySs, of the
West Superior Land and River I'M
provement company, that West Supe-
rior will see full fledged steel plant
before Duluth gets there, although, of
course, the Duluth blast furnace is still
progressing and is quite settled thing.
MI. Wemyss said last night: "MOre
than year ago we had an expert here
with view to the coming of the i'm
portant industry. l am now pleased
to believe that we will have the fOunda-
ton completed by the middle of sum-
mer, so that we can make our own cast
ings. 1t is calculated to have a full
steel rail mill with capacity of 1901
tons per annum. The works will cost
about 100000 and employ 1900 hands.
We will make our water and gas pipes
as we go along. The company will be
organized under the laws of the state of
Minnesota, and the organization will be
completed in about fortnight.
A LANDLADY AS JAILER.

lodger twenty-four hours to get the key
back by law, and the landlady accom-
panied her to the room then and found
there a man, who had been incarcer-
ated whole day without food.
