MINES RESOLVING FORK.
The Largest in The Luke Superior Rnnge
Feel the Effects or Re prai.


DULUTH. Mimi. Nov. S.-Since the repeal OF
the Sherman silver bill not less than five OF
the largest iron mines on the Lake SUPERIOR
range have resumed operations or given no.
tice OF intention to do so. The management Of
the Norrie mine attribute their resumption
merely to the contamination Of that legsa-
tion. The mines which have or will resume
shortly are: The Minnesota. on the Yermil-
ion Iron range. which in prosperous times
employs 5000 men; the Norrie. on the Go
gebic range; two shafts of The. Lake Superior
on the Marquette range. besides The Blu"
and one or two smaller ones.
None OF the mines will resume with the
same large forces they had last year. but 40
great has been the exodus Of unemployed la
Dor from this region that the above m entioned
and other assumptions that will come later
leave practically no idle men in the entire
region. l.. Merritt. President Of the New Con-
solidated mines talks OF the work OF his com
pany for next year md its standing among
the ranges. lie expects the company TO mine
1000 1000 tons in 1904. and looks for nearly as
much more to com" from leased mines that
will shin over the Consolidated road. The en-
tire range will likely mine. no thinks not over
a quarter Of the orc from Lake Superior 30
that 1t could not. II 1t would. set the price.
This price he looks to see Mt about Tour dol
lars Tor standard Bossornsrs, with the new
mines selling at u little less.

RIO AGAIN BON BARDED.
ANOTHER DUEL BE7W EEN ADMIRAL
MELLO,S FLEET AND THE FORTS.

u IL believed to Indicate a Desperate At
tempt 10 Capture the CITY Before the
Arrival OF the ships from Now York.
W,sHiNsroN. Nov "a despatch was re-
ceived to-day by Minister Mendonca from
London saying that the heaviest lombard
ment since tho revolt Of Mello was begun this
morning from the feet of Rio. which was re-
turned theoretically by tho land batteries.
The Minister also received message from
his Government during tho day but no mem
ton was made OF the firing on the city. There
IL nothing unusual in this. however. as none
OF tho kilograms sent by President Peixoto to
tho Minister give any Information OF the MILF
tary or naval operations.
The fact that Mello has opened on the city
again Is taken to indicate that he 10 playing
his last card and wants to bring the city to
terms before the arrival OF the New York heet
OF merchant vessels turned into war ships
Mello. 1t Ia believed. will make desperate
effort to subdue tho Government forces before
this fleet reaches Rio. but 1t is very doubtful
that his attack will meet with any success.
The Government forces are better supplied
with munitions, and arc in position to keep
up fire on the ships indefinitely II it Is neces-
sary. On tho other hand. Mello's powder sup
ply is constantly diminishing. and from ad-
vices received here 1t Is believed he has little
left. except that aboard his ships. The blow
ing UP OF the magazine on Governors Island
destroyed his main supply and was a serious
blov.
Minister Mendonca said that he was ne
gotiating for only ona vessel. and that she
would 10 n transport to carry certain NUM-
tons and to tako in tow tho dynamite boat
destroyer. The fleet Will consist only OF
FL Cid AMI britannia. and the TRANSPORT The
Iarrow torpedo boat will he taken aboard one
Of the vessels. the Javelin on ono and the

some port in Brazil. I he britannia Will go

her. and the trans port. with tho Destroyer in
tow will bring u D the roar.
The voyage will be made by all three in as
quick time Ms their steam power will permit
It Ia said that no further orders have been re-
ceived by the Minister from his Government
for tho purchase OF additional ships. and that
no additions will be made to the fleet which
sails from New York. Should the President
however, decide to augment his naval strength.
several more fine shirs can be purchased
quickly and fitted out for temporary war ships. |
The Minister does not believe however. that |
any more ships will be ordered.

Making Glass Eyes.

In Thuringia there is a whole district
which is dependent for its support on
the manufacture Of artificial eyes; hus-
bands, wives and children all working
together at this same means of livelihood.
And yet, though these simple German
village people turn out their produce by
the dozen, no two eyes are ever the same.
No artificial eye has its exact fellow
either in color or in size in the whole
world. The method of manufacture is
not very complicated art. There are
firstly glass plates, which are blown by
gas jets, then moulded by hand into the
form Of an oval-shaped cup. Then there
is the coloring Of the eyes, which is
effected by the means of tracing with
fine needles, the tints being left to the
taste of the individual worker, though
the scope Of their taste is necessarily
limited to grays and blues, and browns
and blacks, which coIors are assorted
together before being eventually dis
patched to their various destinations. -
