has just paid a dividend of $200, ,000 for 30 years old has quarter interest in 1t, ard 50 secures an income of $50, 900 per month. He came upon this bonanza in the following singular way: He sold some lumber amounting to $220 to man who, instead of giving the cash, which would have been preferable at the time, as the mine was then undeveloped and compars- lively valueleas, offered a one quarter iE- terest in the mine. It had been refused by one party, but the man took 1t simply because he could get nothing else. He has since received on 1t $1, ,s00, ,000. The growth in the steel industry of the United States is wonderful. In 1872 the production of Bessemer steel was 130, ,0o0 net tons; in 1891 1t wss 3,s4o,0 tons. In 1872 the production of open hearth eteel was 5000 tons and in 1891 1t was $50, ,000 tons. The advance in eruoible steel was 1 slow, the increase in the same time being ! from 30, ,000 tons to s1, 900 tons. As 6 l steel-producing country we stand supreme For ths first time in the history of the busiaess we surpassed Great Britain in 1886, and with the exception of 1888 and
 1889 VIC have maintained the lead eve,
 since. In 1891, when we produced 8, 900, ,000 tons, Great Britain turned ou
 8, 3,s60,600 tons. It is noteworthy fac
 that in Bseeener steel we far outstriI
 Great Britain, while in open hearth the,

says one machine costing five hundred
dollars will consume all the garbage
in ward during single day.

working of the machine" said Super
intendent Welles. 'It kept six men
rushing as fast as they could work to
feed it and cleaned up an alley in
about ten minutes, and it burned the
contents Of fifteen garbage boxes. I
believe it will consume the garbage of

Below is a sketch of the monument

Edinburgh, is about to be erected in
the old Calton-hill burying-ground,
where plot has been given by the
Edinburgh corporation as a burial
place for Scottish-American soldiers of
the late civil war. Mr.. Bruce raised
about $4,000 in subscriptions of 500
each, contributed by wealthy Ameri-

execute the commission. and he chose
