Cleveland ranks second, her receipts
exceeding 1900. 900 tons, while Fair
point is third. with 100000 or more.
Buffalo, Lorain and a few other points
receive small amounts. The ore comes
principally from Escanabs, Mich. on
Lake Michigan Green Bay; Mar
quette, Mich; Ashland, Wis. and Two
Harbors, MINI, on Lake Superior. The
river frontage OF the docks here Is DO
longer than at any other Lake Erie
point, but they are not so deep, and
have not as great q prop0rtionate
storage capacity as at Ashtabula aud
Fairpoint, where land near the river Is
much less valuable and more easily
obtained.
Few persons can appreciate what

ABILENE, KAN, September 29.-Ihe
exhlIarating sport OF huntlng
he prairie chicken on the plains OF the
west will soon be as extinct as tnat OF
shooting buffalo. The quick whir-r-r
of the bird is heard less and less ire
ouently and the hunters encounter lar
GREATER wariness than OF old. only q
few wears ago and the sportsman was IN
clover when he reached the prairles Oh
Kansas. Special cars with hunters
aboard stopped in the midst OF the ievel
plains. and when the men came back IL
was with shoulders heavilY-laden with
the toothsome and attractive game.
But the heartless and indiscriminate
slaughter in season and out OF season TO
which the different varieties OF grouse
and quail have been subjected during
the mast decade has almost ruined the
sport on the plains Of Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and other sections OF the west.
To be sure there is yet game, but IL mas
so decreased In quality that the present
that existed few years ago.
There Is little sport more enticing
than the shooting Of prairie chickens,
or plnnated grouse. Nothing can De
com pared to it except the hunting OF
wild turkey. While turkey is sought in
the timber Of the bottom lands the prai'
RE chicken lives boldly out on the plains
/ and trusts To his keenness of vision and
ranss fight to protect himself. To creep

with the distinguishing long black
feathers on the neck, reaching down
like the ends of yoke, make a deli
cious contrast for the lover OF a rifle
with the green of the prairie sod.
They are large enough to make
good legitimate prey: they are excellent
eating-tender, rich, gamy. But their
outposts hear you and quick clucking
warning is given. In an instant every
head drops, the bodies crouch close to
the ground and apparently disappear.
Unless you are a practical hunter you
will declare that half a second has suf-
feed for some of the birds TO sink into
the earth. But they are all there.

the amateur eye it is remarkable II

do the colors of the birds blend with the
shadows and tints OF the SOD.

CLEVELAND, September 29.-When
the great transportation hall OF the CO.
lumbar Exposition next year Is filled
with representations OF systems and
methods OF moving the worlds products
it will have few that will surpass In
unique and ocular interest the sight
that may be seen daily at the ore ports
of Lake Erie.
The discovery of extremely rich and
almost inexhaustible deposits OF Besse-
mer ore in the Lake Superior districts
quarter Of century ago. as well as more
recently, has been followed by the
growth OF commerce that is unrivaled

day will such mountains OF rich ore be
found heaved ready for the transform
ing fire of the furnaces as at Cleveland,
Ashtabula, Fairport and Buffalo, and at
South Chicago, on Lake Michigan.
The ore being less bulky than coal
can be carried farther than the coal In
the journey toward each other, 80 that
but little ore is reduced In the upper
peninsula of Michigan. Much OF 1t
meets the coal at Chicago and Cleve-
land, but the greater part is carried to
the Mahoning valley aud western Penn
sylvania furnaces. AS the lakes are
open for navigation but seven months
in the year, 1t is necessary TO find a
storage place for the ore required TO
supply the furnaces during the winter
months. Accordingly at Cleveland,
Ashtabula and Fairport miles OF docks
have been bnilt, lining the narrow rivers
that put into the lake at these points,
and here during the summer is unload
ed hundreds of thousands OF tons OF iron
ore and gradually forwarded to the fur
naces by rail.
1t is almost impossible to appreciate
the magnitude of this great traffic with

half hidden behind the ranges OF red
brown or sparkling gray ore, the coior|
varying with the qualities, IS the pony|
engine operating each set OF hosting
machines, putting and kissing always
adding a familiar element to the strange
scene. Now train OF nat cars comes
creeping along, drawn by a snortln0
switch engine. In each car are uozen
fills of those great iron buckets, looking
like such a light load as compared with
the heaping coal cars, so usual In other
places. vet testing the strength OF the
gondolas quite as fully. A red dust
rises and falls and the laoorers are
covered with it. Their clothes are
ocherous red, boots the color OF the
tanbark piles they knew as leather, and
sweat burrows are down their dusty
faces and through the rust unged
boards.
The unloading OF vessel at one OF
these docks is rapid work. All the lake
ore carriers have six and many OF them
eight matches, and when they come TO
the dock hosting machine Is put to
work in each. The great buckets are
filed below. while the oth-.s are drawn
I'D and emptied, sometimes being car
ried back on the overhead railway OF the
cantIlevers 300 feet or more. Thus IL IS
possible to take 1000 tons--enough to
load $50 ordinary fat cars--from YES
sci in six or eight hours.
At present the activity on the ore
docks. whether at Cleveland, Fairport
or Ashtabula, is almost at us height.
The latter point being nearer many fur-
naces and having a straight river chan
mel receives the most ore OF any port on
Lake Erie, usually running l,sOo'OOO
tons or more annually.

Another correspondent writes from
Star Prairie, Wis.,, to ask regarding a
ouesrion of law, as follows: would
YOU mind taking the time to answer,
nublickly or privately as you may
choose. for the benefit OF young law
student, whether or not the oyster is, as
matter of fact, real estate or personal
property?"
OYSTERS running wild or In state OF
nature are neither personal property
nor real estate. but upon becoming do
mesticated and put TO bed, as l may
saw. thew are ruled by the New Jersey
conrt Of chancery to be real estate, and
snbiect to the laws regulating the taxa
tion and alienation of real estate.
Judpe Pierce. OF Ellsworth, Pierce
county, Wis, and Judge Hough, OF New
Richmond, ST. Croix county, have both
held that the oyster itself may be and
often is real estate, but that the oyster
he'd is personal property and may pass
without regard to the statute OF limita-
tions or the laws regarding the aliena-
tlon of reality.
The statutes under Justinian held that
the oyster plant while growing was real
eetate Int when detached from the re-
sIitv II became personal property, while
the oyster bed in this case, or the
oyster plant bed, becomes real estate.
Then comes the question OF taxation
~ the oyster bed. Shall we regard II
&c furniture or farm? These questions
have pnzzled greater legal minds than
nine and John Randolph and Daniel
Webster went down TO their graves not
Itnowinr whether the oyster beds should

Here is hcaped hills Of fine red and
brown hematite, like so much ocher0ns
gravel. or the coarser Jumps Of spark
ling gray magnetic ore, varying widely
In quality and price.
The casual observer. as he walks
along can distinguish but four or i've,
or at most half dozen grades Of ore.
but experts know that these immense
conical piles are strictly classified, and
that upward Of eighty different grades
have their place la the market lists.
But how much is 1,5O0.0 900 tons OF ore2
Loaded on fiat cars thirty-five feet long
and carrying fifteen tons each. IL would
make train ZOO miles long, or moro
than five times the distance from Cleve-
land TO Pittsburg. Yet this Is but about
one-third the iron ore laid down at Lake
Erie ports every summer. The total
would more than ill two trains Of such
fat cars extending from Chicago TO
New York City!
Besides this great ore traffic, which
annually amounts TO 500, 900. 600 or more
in value, there is shipped from the ports
of Lake Erie an immense amount OF
coal. both anthracite and bituminous.
to Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth and
smaller points, where IL is stored for
shipment farther west dGring the win
ter months. This requires very differ
ent set of docks. Cleveland leads In the
amount eff bituminous coal shipped,
handling over 100000 tons annually.
The coal docks are over two miles in
length, but narrow, and the coal is uSu-
ally loaded directly from the cars by
means of derricks that handle great
buckets holding half ton or more. The
work Is slower than that OF loading ore
or unloading IL. but new devise has
just been erected here that promises to
make 1t easy to dump whole carload
into vessel at once, and II IL succeeds
the work will be greatly expedited.
Without this the Cleveland docks can
handle 1000 ordinary carloads OF coal a
day, and the total shipments from the
port each year reach 10000 carloads,
or enough to make train over $50
miles long. Nothing could better Illus
trate the magnitude Of these great in
terests than that stupendous fact.
When, in addition TO what goes from
cleveland, the large shlpmcuVs iSo,
Toledo, Sandusky, Ashtabula, Erie anc
Buffalo are considered the aggregate
reaches an amount as amazing as that
| OF the ore traffic.
Both ore and coal docks gather an
added interest when one thinks OF their
varied and close relations 70 the comfort
and industry Of the central west and
great northwest. And what appears az
first as only strange and unusual be-
comes richly suggestive OF the great age
of steel in which we live, Of the wonder
full development OF the lake region and
especially the northwest, and OF the
amazing increase In recent years Ia
transportation facilities aud their even
more amazing cheapness.

flushed. In an instant they rise about
Won as il suddenly created from dust.
One was less than yard from your feet,
vet you did not see 1t. Their flight Is
peculiar one. Rising to height OF
from twenty to fifty feet they take a
horizontal course, churning the air rap
idly with the stump wings until the
momentum is aquired, then sailing with
outstretched pinlons for many rods. A
prairie chicken is never awkward or
ridiculous except when in the air. On
taking flight the birds do lot, like quail,
90 as a flock, but radiate In every direc-
ton, so that be is good gunner indeed
who makes both barrels count.
The prairie chicken is non-migratory
and, like quail, turkey and rabbits,
might be preserved for all time IL az
forded a reasonable amount OF protec-
ton. Grouse and quail can stand COM
paratiyely close settlement Of the coun-
try. at least one as close as most parts Of
the west will admit of, and with the
proper enforcement of rigidly drafted
game laws, as well as a manly forbear-
ance on the part OF the sportsmen them
selves, would preserve the now unequal
ratio between the increase and slaugh-
ter. As it is now there is practically
no protection. and from June to Deem
Der, the markets Of western cities show
forbidden game. 1t is not alone grouse,
but quail, wild turkeys and other varie-
ties suffer. Poachers 60 with dogs out
of season and bring in loads of thepret-
ty game, and il finds its way smys-
teriously into the stalls Of the cities.
Kansas and Nebraska have laws pro-
hibiting the killing or offering for sale
of birds except from September ! 70

law been violated that it has become
necessary for sportsmen's clubs to offer
purses for information regarding violss

put an end to the sport at the present
rate oil decrease.
The famous civilian scout, Burgess,
who is attached to the government post
in Yellowstone Park, gives some inter-
esting facts regarding the increase OF
game since severe measures have been
taken with the poaching trapper. The
elk, he says, are now in such abundance
that they promise to give game to the
hunter in season for many years to
come, while the buffalo are increasing
to such an extent that the park will
soon be well stocked. The same kind
of vigorous measures will be necessary
II the western prairies are not to be
stripped of the smaller as they have
been of the larger game.
