VIII Produce swedish Iron.

VIII Produce "swedisn'' Iron.
The Hovey- Phillips syndicate has star
ted to work in earnest. About q week
ago Messrs. Hovey and Phillips came to.
Duluth, and after spending q few days.
here they left for Port Arthur, whence
they will 60 to GunHint Lake via the
Port Arthur, Duluth s Western railroad.
By this route they strike the heart Of the
GunAint range at the Paulson mine,
where they will make their headquarters
for the coming summer. 81. 5
Mr.. Hovey, while here, disclosed his
plans in measure. He has for the past
three years or more been busilY engaged
IN picking up lands upon the Gunflint
range, and has now under control about
fifteen. miles of contiguous lands, in 9
line running from east to west, upon
what is generally conceded to be the
mineral bearing belt of Northern Cook
county. All along the course Of this
belt, east and west, outcrops Of iron ore,
mostly magnetic and also slightly titan
ferrous. In conjunction with these out
crops to the south it is said, lies deposit
OF black ore, which when tested gives
large percentage of nickel, as high in
some places as from eight to twelve per
cent. This is what is considered to be the
most valuable mineral of any and from
this ore the syndicate propose to produce
Swedish iron."
The processes by which Swedish and
Russian iron are made have been jealous
ly guarded for centuries and up to date
these two countries have practically en-
joyed monopoly of the manufacture
and sale of their respective brands. The
Cook county men, however, say that the
Swedish process, at least, is no longer q
secret to them, and that they can manu-
facture just as good Swedish iron from
their Cook county ores, as they do in
Sweden. The presence of titanium in
the ore does not daunt them in the least,
as they assert that in their process they
can use titaniferous ores as we'll as any
others.
The location of their railroad, works,
and harbor is not yet settled. Grand
Marais harbor Of course presents the
greatest advantages, but part Of, the
property necessary for yards and docks
is tied up and the title is somewhat
mixed. There are also two townsites and
two TOWNSHIP companies down there and
third TOWNSHIP company trying hard to
get in between the other two. The
property owners are ready and willing to
make terms with anyone who will really
build railroad, but until that person
shows up, they are indisposed to further
complicate matters by entering into
negotiations with more people.
Besides the Hovey-Phillips syndicate
there are several other concerns that own
large tracts of land IN Cook county, but
until some railroad scheme has been fixed
up nothing more can be done to advan.
tage by anyone. That the control
of the Port Arthur road has been
secured by one of these syndicates is no
longer secret and it is just barely pos
sible that by aid of this road, Fort Will
liam might become an outlet for Cook
county's minerals, and both Grand Ma
rails and Pigeon Point be given the go
lby.-Northwestern Miner.

SOMETHING WAS DONE FOR HIM.
Deputy Sanitary Officer Arniss Had
a SurpriSe for a Hobo.

frowsy and muscular tramp entered
the sanitary office at police hcadauarter
yesterday afternoon, and in q hasso pro-
fundo voice demanded that something he
done for him forthwith. The fellow Wore
a badly damaged suit of .'hand-out'' clothes
and an evil look in his bleared yes.
Deputy Sanitary Officer Will Aniss was
on duty. In pleasant tone he asked:
What can do for you?''
You kin give me ticket to Phillie.
See? And / want it quick"
Mr.. Amiss commenced to explain that
the allowance OF money for the day had
been exhausted by the many calls for free
railroad tickets, when the impudent tramp
blurted out:
We'll, / kim here ter git something
done fer me by de city of Washington, an
here / stays until it is DONE
With this remark, in snarling tones, he
sat down ON an office chair, threw back
his head and outstretched his legs as
though prepared to remain in the sanitary
office for an indefinite period
That fellows got the nerve of a team
OF lions to try to hold up police head
quarters whispered a messenger boy who
had entered the room during the conversa-
ton.
so you are going to stay right here until
something s done for you, en-" said Dep
uty Amiss, leaving his desk and coming
from behind the railing.
Oats it. You'se struck de ten-penny
nail on de head"
Then you shall be accommodated, re-
piled the muscular deputy; IN do some
thing for you."
Then he made a baseball rush atthe hobo,
seized him by the scruff of the neck and
the slack section of his trousers, and then
with whizz and n whirr he was rushed out
of the door, along the hallway and out OF the
rear door. where he was dropped in heap
into the alley.
The bundle of greasy garments slowly
Strengthened up after the fall, q surprised
look took the place OF the hull-dozing ex-
preston which had been on the hobo's face,
and as he slowly meandered out of the alley
the fellow muttered:

Too Hilarious for the Open Air.

Four 'swampoodlers'' went out as far
as lexington last night, drank freely OF the
amberhued cordial and raised fog. Po-
licemen Evans, Pearson and Kenney. of
No. 8, ran across them Just as the hilarity
had reached high G, and placed the crowd
under arrest On the way to the station
one after another took turns in attempting
to jump out, but they were safely landed
behind the bars after a tussle. Morris Con-
nors, William Craven, Thomas Mullen and
Thomas McMahon were the names Of the
quartet, and none OF them is q stranger TO
tie bluecoats.

Officials IndOrse 1t.

The officers of the New York company
speak in the highest terms of the new mo-
tive power, and everything seems to rec
ommend the plan TO the lexington line,
and before spring it is expected that the
test will be made.
Arrangements are now in progress with
the Westinghouse Company for the con-
straction of the cars, and as soon as one
is completed and sent here the experiment
will be made.
In Baltimore the overhead trolley wire is
permitted, and is in operation on several
lines, so that that question does not arise
in relation to the terminus of the Columbia
and Maryland in that city. A conference
of some of the directors of the board was
held in Baltimorelon Tuesday in relation to
matters pertaining to the road, and the
work will be pushed rapidly.

Big Force at Work j..

Contractor Maurice F. Tally. who is
constructing the track and erecting the
poles between tile present terminus of the
electric road and the District line, is daily
working large force OF men upon the ex-
tension, and is also of the opinion that this
division of the road will be fully completed
and III running order in about one month
from January /.
The motive power which will propel the
cars will, of course, be electricity, to be
furnished from the present power house of
the lexington line. The plant is thought
to he fully large enough and capable OF
operating the division by the application
OF the dynarnes now in use, without any diff
ficulty, so that there will be no delay on
that score.
Tie overhead trolley will be used from
the city boundary to the end of the
division, tie same as now on the Ecking
ton line, as well Us on the remainder OF the
road through Maryland. when that portion
OF the road shall have been completed.
