20 the sale OF ores. Still. judging by the
total amount of ore sold thus far, say
six million tons, the proportion Of fur
naces depending for their ore upon the
Lake Superior output, and that may be
included in the list OF those who are not
supplied, is but one-quarter Of the entire
furnace capacity thus supplied, and IL
there should bea temporary cessation Of
iron making in some quarters, that very
action would havea wholesome tendency
toward helping along both ore and iron
prices. Lake shipments are far in excess
ofdock facilities hereabouts, owing TO the
inability OF the railways TO ship ore
promptly Pig lron.-There is quite
an active trade and the market is fairly
steady, but.no Improvement il noted i'm
prices and consumers seem to be able to
get along very well, buying in small lots,
ut the market price, and from day to day,
rather than place fall orders for future
delivery, for which furnace-men are dis
posed To ask more money. All things
considered, Bessemer still has the call,
some 1000 tons have changed hands in
the valley during the week, and ut prices
approximating SIS 10 cash, at the fur
mace. Quite good deal OF forge iron is
being sold Mt the going rate, but in guam
titles rarely exceeding 100 and 200-ton
lots. Foundry irons are not in demand
at this time, the heavier consumers
holding back until they can see their way
as to the future OF the market. One re-
markable fact Is the wide range of prices
shown by the scales, differing sometimes
fifty cents on the same grades and makes
Of iron. How long the market will sus-
tain business at the ruling quotations
will depend altogether upon the running
out OF 80 ores. After that, furnace-men
will have the choice OF either announcing
u material advance, corresponding TO
the increased cost OF manufacture, or OF
working along at an actual loss, trusting
to luck for better prices. There is no
change in coke prices. and none il expect

product not later than the 18th

track has given the management
time TO place everything in the
best possible shape TO reach or
come very near the estimated out
put of 10000. Many think the
estimate far too large. Perhaps
it is. The mine is a big one, has
quite stock pile, is in the best
of shape and has fine machinery
and there seems no reason why it
can not accomplish what it start
ed in for.
The great Dunn has shipped
over $4,000 tons of ore so far this
season and is skipping along with
shipments at lively and increas-
ing rate. The new engine house
house is fast nearing completion
and il will not be long before the
aid of the new outfit will be added
to the work. Four ten-foot drums
arrived last week and are being
placed on their cut tone founda-
tons.
The Blaney mine is now known
as the Glidden, operated by the
Glidden Mining Co. A thirty
horse power boiler was this week
put in which will be in use only
about thirty days when a full
mining plant will be in position.
The gentlemen at work are deter
mined TO show the value of the
property.
Capt. c. T. Roberts is still in
dustriously at work at the Atlas,
with good indications of getting
what he is after. The shaft is
about sixty feet deep and will be
put down another fifty.
The White Florada property,
on section twenty-one, east of the
Great Western mine, is develop
ing stronger every day and is sure
to become one of the heavy pro
ducers of this district.
The west boiler in the Shafer
battery exploded early last Sat
nrday morning, due to natural
causes. No one was injured and
the boiler was insured.
A large, new boiler was taken
TO the HOLSTER mine this week.
This in place and the property
will be wrought more extensively
than in the past.

illustration Of literary forms Each
literary work as it has been taken up

the life and cotempOraries Of its author.
Editions without notes. except in the
case Of Chaucer and Shakespeare, have
been used. in order to give the pupils
the pleasure and the profit Of discover
