Several of the miners OF Pilot Knob ar
now in the iron mines of Michigan. Most OF
them send glowing accounts of their new
homes. Amongst those who have recently
left will mention the names of Thos. Cal
low and his son, Joe, John Roach, Thos.
hitto, Richard Tangye and Henry Ahrens.
L am almost afraid to mention Henry's name
| for fear be will be at home before this ap-
pears in print.

DIR. Strong finished the shooting season in
good shape, on Wednesday by killing
worthless dog. The DIR. is to be congrat-
uiated on his success throug the season.

miles for each head of game he killed.

one of the sensations in the north end of

L believe the account published in last
weeks REGISTER about the man Bennett
that was killed at Knob Lick, was mistake.
The man killed at Knob Lick, was not of the
same family as John and Willie Bennett that
lost their lives at Pilot Knob William

1t is an old saying that a cat has nine lives.
There is one at the shaft house that fully
corroborates the above saving. Some three
months since the cat was caught in the
hosting drum, and, after being carried
several times around the drum, it escaped
minus two feet. Since losing its feet it is
very cautious about going around the
machinery, but by some means it missed its
balance on Friday, and fell i'll the shaft, Il
distance of 100 feet. On Saturday it was
found by the pump man sitting on a timber
crying for breakfast, seemingly none the
worse for the fall.
The mild weather that has continued this
winter has produced a good deal of sickness
amongst the men; hence the treasury of the
Miners Benevolent Association has been
found very acceptable to those having claims
on it.
The Ore & Steel Company's furnace at
Carondelet started up a few days since on
Pilot Knob Ore, which means 200 tons per |
day.
Yesterday morning fire was lighted to one |
of the big furnaces of the st. Louis Ore II |
Steel Company, and this morning the first |
cast of Iron will be made. This will give |
employment to 100 men. The purpose Of
this resumption is to reduce the under |
grade ores, of which the company has a
large supply on the Pilot Knob dumps. |
The furnace is in Carondelet and is one of |
series connected with the Vulcan steel rail
plant. Through small start comparative
ly, it will have an inyigorating influence on
at least the hopes of South End business
men. 1t had been intended to resume a
month ago, but various obstacles We're en-
which postponed the date of
lighting the fires. The iron now manufac- |
tured will be stored for future use and put |
on the market in the pig.-G.-D., Monday,
