spires that it was not the intention OF
Carnegie. Phipps l. Co. TO enforce their
scale on June 1st, but they presented it Mt
that time with the intention Of giving the
men IN opportunity to embrace it or quit.
From present appearances the latter will
do neither. The output at Homestead is so
enormous (reachirg 1900 tons n monthly

market, and the men assert that with the
Carnegie scale in operation. even the big
Illinois steel company would be crippled.

the proposed scale. and while they do not
want to strike il it can be helped. they say

The North Dakota BAD Lands.
T. E. Quigg, who is writing up the four
new states for the New York Tribune. has
this to say of the Bad Lands west of
Bismarck: The country is generally
level until the Bad Lands are reached.
They are not bad lands at all, but wonder
full lands. They constitute one of the
most marvellous physical appearances to
be obtained on this continent They are
come upon suddenly, and without any sug-
gestion that the prairie level is to be SO
strangely broken. All at once numberless
peaks, as sharp in their formation as the
fingers on your hand, rise straight up from
the earth, an army of massive buttes.
They are of all conceivable shapes. some.
are circular pyramids, perfect in form.
Ut ers rise like quartz crystals, with sides
as smooth as board, and frequently from
one OF these straight and regular buttes
the petrifed stumps Of enormous trees will
protrude, silicitied by the action of the
same waters that gave figure to the buttes
themselves ages and ages ago. The Bad
Lands begin about 100 miles west of Bis
marck and follow the course, north and
south of the Little Missouri river.
