STEEL-MAKING IN THE WEST.
A Wisconsin Paper Predicts Prosperity TO
the Lake Superior station.

From the West Superior (Wis.) Inter ocean,
When the Chicago Rolling Mills were put in
operation about Is years ago. they were looked
upon Ill the light of a dangerous experiment,
and serious loss if not financial ruin was ex-
pected to stare the proprietors in the face. Yet
SO recently as in December, 1889, the Chicago
Rolling Mills and the Joliet Steel Company
were amalgamared with joint capital stock of
sl3, 600, which pays monthly dividends of
per cent. In the fall of 1883 the West Superior
Iron and Steel Company began the construc-
tion of the first building in the series that are
to make here in West Superior one of the
largest iron and steel plants in America. The
recent experiment with Southern ore at
the furnaces of Carnegie, near Pittsburg, have
sufficlently proven that Lake Superior ore must
for some years at least hold the market in
Bessemer steel production. The largest beds
OF the best ore in the world lie within 100 mics
OF this city; and the largest coal receiving
docks on the continent fence in large portions
OF the water front of our harbor. The greatest
market for steel and iron in the world is
destined to come into existence in the territory
lying between the Alleghenies and the Pacific
slope within the next 20 years, reaching in its
sweep of development as far north Jas Hudson's
Bay.
The market of Minnesota, Dakota, Nebraska
and Manitoba is ours. and the facilities for
reaching it. The materials for iron and steel
production are ours as well. Having secured
large contracts for steel plates for barges the
company has provided for the construction of
furnace, pipe mill and for coke ovens. The
total Investment IN these new structures and
their machinery will be upwards of $500, 600.
Judging from present appearances, this COM
pany will employ over 1000 men at this time
next year, and be producing marketa Dle steel
and iron to the value of more than 100000
per annum.

POEMS VERSUS PEANUTS.

Ny love brings poems Thursday nights
And peanuts every Monday;
He writes from early morn till eve,
Except, of course, on Sunday.
He sings of sweetness long drawn out
OF hopes cut through the middle,
And once he tried to weave in rhyme
The hoary Sphinx's riddle.
He's very gay, then taciturn.
And scathingly sardonic
when poetizing Plato's school
CHATS where we get ''piatonic').
For themes he scours the country through
From 'Cisco's bay to Fundy's,
But really, If the truth were told,
I'D rather see him Mondays.

The idea that nationalities must be represented
in the management of the enterprise is a cheap
bit of demagogy, which ignores the fact that
there is but one nationality in this country, no
matter how many different racial extractions
there may be. But Chicago voted down that
idea, elected its Board of Directors, and is going

The publication of a statement yesterday
that the morning papers, on the night when the
license list is given to them for publication, are
in the habit of charging applicants five dollars
each for information as to whether their Ii
censes are granted or refused is, we hardly
need say, q work of the imagination. The price
for the information is exactly three cents-in-

French Settlers Fiocking In TO Retain Hold
of the Country.
WINNIPEG, MAN, April 3.-Six thousand
settlers have come to the Northwest this spring
to locate and special trains heavily loaded are
arriving daily. About 1000 French Canadians
were among the number. The Catholic Church
is anxious to increase its population and in
fiuence in Western Canada and is taking this
means of doing it. The Church sees that by
the abolition of separate schools and the use of
French as the official language in the country,
it it is to retain any hold it must act promptly
and in practical manner.
Private adyices received here state that n
French syndicate has put up sl5, ,000, 900 to build
the Hudson Bay Railway, provided aid is given
by the Canadian Government. which amounts
to per cent guarantee on 100000.

THE reported resignation of the State
Treasurer of Maryland, with shortage of some
hundreds of thousands in the Treasury, is a
modern realization of Artemus Wards plan
for resigning if he was drafted into
the army during the Civil War. But any
thing can be expected in a State where
the Legislature and Governor unite in
killing off the States canals for the benefit of
the railroads.

AS In A TOMB.
Searching for the Unfortunate Miners Who
Met Their Denth Weeks Ago.

Met Their Death Weeks Ago.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, April Am exploring
party to-day succeeded in penetrating the
South Wilkesbarre colliery, where the eight
men met their death on March 8. General
Superintendent Scott led the party. They
found the workings blocked with fallen rock
and rubbish. The fire had burned out the
timbers and rock. and coal had fallen from the
roof.
In some places the igangways were entirely
blocked and it was impossible to get through,
and other passages had to be sought out. They
managed to penetrate all through the mine.
Not trace of the entombed men could be
found, and there is no longer any doubt that
what is left of them must be lying under the
heaps of debris that block the gangway.

Buffalo Reporter Runs Down Three Des-

A Buffalo Times reporter has made himself
famous by running down three notorious
counterfeiters in that city. He has been work
ing on the case for weeks, but being ambitious
and not wishing to make a failure of the case
he did not shoot until his game was completely
at his mercy. When everything was in readiness
he secured the services of a corps of officers,
and, with the reporter in the lead they made a
raid on the place. When captured the men
wero engaged in turning out spurious coins.
They had for years escaped the vigilance of
United States officers. and were at last brought
to justice by an innocent reporter named
Newton.
Taken all in all the matter was clever
piece OF work. and the reporter is entitled to all
the credit that Uncle Sans officials have since
heaped upon him. He started out to work up

Thankful He is No Worse.

From the New York Herald.l
In the field of wild, unbridled criticism he
(Halstead) is rhetorical earthquake, with
blizzard attachment and conhagration in the
rear. We read his editorials with bristling hair
and reverenr gratitude that he isn't the Al
mighty. The retirement of such man would
leave this world a black and weary wilderness.
Long life attend him, and if we may be rash
enough to prefer another wish, it is that some
stray drop of honey may chance to fall into his
iukstand.

EMIN PAsHA's determination to go back
to the Victoria Nyanza at the head of a Ger
man expedition is not pleasant to the English

that in the future Emin will have to rescue

able to preserve his own head, if he avoids
the civilized dangers of banquets and second
