figure. Mr.. J. Ii. Quinn, OF Ishpeming,
and the Others who are interested in the
"Mesabi Mines Friend" have disposed
Of a trial lot Of 900 tons. IL goes to
Toledo, and A. c. Saunders is sales
agent. They guarantee forty-five per
cent. iron and O45 ercent. phosphorus.
Assays show better than this. The
silica content runs from thirty To thirty
four per cent. AZ this property they arc
working about a dozen men opening up
the deposit for the shipment OF 1000
tons. Samples Of the ore shown us this
week by Mr.. j. III. Quinn, oil Ishpeming,
prove IL To be equal TO the guarantee
made to the purchasers. The manage
ment informs us that the ore is appar-
emily improving as they sink upon 1t.
The property located Immediately
west OF the old Gribben, is being tested
for its lean ores, and cargo Ia being
mined for shipment. The ore is identi-
cal with that OF the Gribben, which has
placed l 900 tons in Toledo. The Cas-
cade bids fair to do more in lean ore
mining than IN that OF producing ores OF
higher quality Iron Ore.

During last week there was some repe-
titions OF the old cry among our ore
shippers more cars" and while IL was
annoying to the mine management and
perhaps to the railroad officials, it was
10 the average citizen an augur OF better
times. When every mine superintendent
u in something oil temper because his
acquisitions for cars are only partially
filed, 10 Is pretty conclusive evidence
that there is some ore moving and that
everything Is being hustled, except that
some times punching OF vessels or their
failure to reach port on time may cause
some trouble and necessitate the cutting
off Of a full supply OF cars.

Representatives Of all grades OF labor
Mt the Metropolitan group OF mines have
waited upon President Curry during the
past week and asked for an advance OF
pay. The miners were the last TO 90 on
Wednesday afternoon. Mr., Curry told
his men that the increase made month
ago, was all that the company could
AFFORD to make Mt this time. He said
that his company, as well az all others,
had sold early Ia the season, and were
mot benefited by the later improved
market conditions. A reporter called on
Mr.. Curry at his Office Thursday, and
learned a lew things which will prove n
surprise TO our business men. He stated
that the Ironwood mines were all paying
their employees from ten TO twenty per
cent. more than last year, which increase
took effect over n month ago. MIR. Curry
says that the only class who are not
making more money than last year, are
the timbermen, whose pay Is still 81. 20
per day. Although II has not been
given out, there IN good reason for be-
Loving that there will be an advance in
the wngcs OF timbcrmcn at an early date.
The pay rolls OF the mines Of Ironwood
Tor June show that surfnce men are get
ting $i.20 per day, the lowest rate paid.
A lew miners have made as low az $l.35
last month, and the pay runs from that
figure up 10 $2.35, with an average NIL
around pay Tor miners oil about $1.66

The kaiser,s EaYnrifa Dish.

The German kaiser and kaiserin usually breakfast and dine with go 10 60 friends. They call that home" luncheon or dinner. The cuisine is half English and half German, and meats are always served in great variety, as the kaiser Is a great meat eater. Ger man champagne is furnished with soup, Moselle and Rhine wine follow and then Burgundy and Heidsick Royal with the dessert.
 The latter is special brand manu- factured expressly for his majesty, who has always from 6,0O0 to 10, 900 quarts of it in his cellars. The kaiser s favorite dish is Vienna roast beef, or pot roast Whenever he visits at a house, his court marshal asks the host to place this dish on the menu. The kaiser's menu is always in German script except when foreigners are in- vited who do not speak the language. The kaiser keeps no pastry cook. All pastries for the schloss are furnished oy a caterer in Unter den. Linden.
 The Empress Frederick's cuisine has never excited the enthusiasm of gour- mets. It is neither English nor French nor German. Her majesty is inordinate. ly fond of cream, which is added to most dishes on her table. Purees and pastries are much liked New York World.

Pennsylvania Railroad Time.

There was time when folks used to set their watches by the town clock. Nowadays the railway timepiece seems to set the pace. There is so much travel ing and so many have to catch trains that men try to keep railroad time.
 Few think, however, how difficult it is to keep that same railroad time straight. A bad watch or false time, even to the extent of minute or two, might easily involve the destruction of train and many lives. Conductors and engineers not only must have good time keeping watches, but they must have very accurate standard of time to go by. All clocks vary, but most clocks vary too much for railroad &C., curacy.
 All over the great Pennsylvania sys- tenn the clocks are regulated every 24 hours by telegraph from Altoona, where they get the standard time in seconds from Washington. The conductors and engineers running out of Philadelphia get their time from the clock in the TO- tunSse at the Broad street station, the big one in the center just outside the waiting room, which occupies the same position in the new station that it did in the old. This clock, which cost over s400, is considered wonder and in the old station seldom varied more than two seconds in the 24 hours. It has not been doing quite so well since taken down and put up again, but is ilnprov- ing and is so much better than any oth- CT clock known that nobody thinks of changing it, and in all probability in a little while, when it gets accustomed to its position and surroundings, it will como as near perfect accuracy as it ever has in its history. ry.-Philadelphia Times.

We went to the house of Red King and learned that hole had been pushed through the wall of the building adjoining the bank When we left Kings to go to the bank, saw three New York detectives on the way. I could not arrange for any signal and did not know when the attack would be made upon us.
 "A dozen policemen were in the bank office waiting for us, and after we had got through the hole behind the safe and were getting ready to go to work the police rushed in on us dashed for the hole and fell on purpose so that l blocked it, and as every man was coy- cred with a gun there was nothing to do but surrender. 1 went in with the gang, and they did not learn who was until the next day.
