No Boon Yet.

The American Manufacturer, of
Pittsburg, in its weekly trade review
said:
The great condition Of the iron and
steel trade this week is much the
same as that noted in the lasts re-
ports. There is still the same ten
dency toward improvement, but those
that expected boom are still dis
appointed. The fact is, some lines Of
the trade seem to have been passed
prematurely and now they show some
inclination toward decline.
The Eastern market particularly
seems to be about in this condition.
Philadelphia reports that business
during the past week was of rather a
disappointing character. Purchases
were made for current wants only.
From New York it is reported that
railroad patronage is very small. Pig
iron orders are fairly numerous, but
the buying side seems to be resting
easy. The West reports somewhat
better condition of affairs

The Journal OF Rainy Lake says:
The Duluth & Iron Range railroad
from Duluth TO Tower holds the kew
to the situation so far as concerns
securing the traffic this winter to and
from the Rainy lake gold fields. Its
station at Tower is the nearest rail-
road point TO the gold mines. The
company has expended several thous-
and dollars already in the construc-
ton of stage roads which Of course are
merely preliminary to the future
extension of the railroad, and it is
entitled to its share of the freight and
passenger traffic TO the New Eldorade.

abolition of corporal punishment.
While / am in hearty accord with this
view, yet feel there are times when
ii is impossible to maintain discipline
without some such means at the
teachers command. In our public
schools are pupils coming from all
classes Of society. The difference in
home training makes it necessary to
deal with each case of disobedience in
different manner. The boy who
terrorizes over his companion stands
in awe Of nothing 80 much as retri-
butive justice. The willfully disobe-
dent must be checked in some way,
and when bodily punishment is taken
entirely away, the teacher is often
left at the mercy Of the pupil. We
believe that every measure should be
resorted to before corporal punish
ment is inflicted. When the pupils
understand that the teacher has the
right to punish it acts as safeguard.
We have constantly urged teachers
and principals TO appeal TO parents
for assistance: vet when these say
punish the child, if he does not con-
duct himself properly, there is often
nothing left but bodily punishment.
To suspend a pupil for misconduct
throws him upon the street, TO grow
up in ignorance and become later a
subject for the courts. Our aim is to
put the child into sympathy with
educational work and so fit him TO
become useful member of society
when he leaves the schools. Every
measure is tried that will accomplish
this, and only as last resort is cor
poral punishment allowed and then
under restrictions that will prevent
its being inflicted in anger. Pulling
the ears. Stamping the faces. and
shaking the children, has been for
hidden. 1t is seldom necessary TO
cali attention to this matter of deal
ing with children. Our teachers, as
rule, have maintained discipline by
mild measures. Indeed, am con-
fdent that they join me in the hope
that the time is not distant when
brute force in the treatment OF
children will be unknown in our
schools; when only true educational
methods viii be employed.

Aside from this business, the market

Low Cost of Producing Ore.

Everyb body interested in Lake SD
perior mines is talking OF the year S
record at the Oliver, the greatest of
the Mesabi steam shovel mines. Some
figures printed in Duluth recently re-
garding cest Of mining at this proper
~ are so low as TO cause great doubt
regarding their accuracy, and yet
they are put in such way as TO iBdi-
cate reliable source. These figures
show the mine TO have run its Sl0.-
900 tons Of this years output for
about ct cents a ton, exclusive of
stripping, which is set down at not
over three cents on total ore body
TO be mined by the shoyels. While
this is probably too low, it gives an
idea of the exceedingly low cost of
mining that has been enjoyed by the
Oliver this summer. In this con-
nection it is interesting TO note that
the management of this mine has de-
termined to mine its entire ore body
BY steam shovels, and that it is not
considered necessary to make pro-
vision for any change TO either mil
ling or other underground process
later. Ore will be raised out of the
mine, when its level shall have been
sunk too far for present methods by
pneumatic elevators or stationary
engines for lifting the loaded cars to
the surface, or by running switch
backs or circular tracks down the
mine. 1t is stated that some of the
largest and best managed Mesabi
mines operated underground by the
caving process have shown cost sheets
this year Of not far from 40 cents and
ranging from 81 to Al cents per ton.
including everything. This figure is
vouched for as accurate by one of the
best known mining engineers in the
Aesabi region--Marine Review.

pOSal or their properties TO men OF
means who will develop them and
prove their worth, says the Rainy
Lake Journal They do not seem to
comprehend that the promoter is,
and always has been, a real factor in
bringing attention of capitalists to
other localities, and as a matter Of
fact will be and is Of essential impor-
lance in securing capital for develop
ment OF the Rainy lake gold fields, in
fact Cecil Rhodes and Barney
Barnato, who did so much for the
South African gold mines were simply
promoters. But, in his endeavor TO
bring capital into these gold fields, he
has been very sadly hampered by the
shortsighted policy OF the prospectors
themselves, who so far. except in
limited cases, seem indisposed to
grant him the necessary written
option of sufficient length of time to
enable him to call the attention of
capitalists to the particular property
sale. Such a policy can have no other
effect than TO retard sale and ultimate
development OF properties in this
region, as no promoter can bring
capitalists 10 interest themselves in
property, unless they are sure that
when they make up their minds TO
take it, it viii be free Of other incum-
brance and is open solely to them,
either as bonding proposition or for
outright sale. They are right in this
particular, and prospectors should see
it and understand it in this light,
which instead of retarding sale will
actually hasten the deal, and for that
all in their power to aid the promoter
in efecting sale, and give him the
required written option. The writer
knows of a number of good properties
in this gold region that for years have
been on the market TO the first conner,
the owners Of which have refused to
give written options to promoters and
for that reason have lost sales that
otherwise might have been accom-
plished for them at good round figures
in the course of three or four months.
The writer has had some experience
in this matter and knows what he is
talking about, and for that reason if
any of his prospector friends really
desire to sell their property, and in
order to help matters along will give
him sole written option of not less
than three months duration. he is in
a position to call the attention of
American, Canadian and foreign cap
italists TO the properties thus placed
| in his hands, and if such properties
will stand the test of examination by
expert mining men, will have no
trouble in efecting sales, and bring
ing considerable money, sorely needed,
into these new and rich gold fields
The promoter surely is no less anxious
to effect sales than is the prospector,
as in that rests his commissions. In
reality their interests are identical.
and for that reason there should be a
mutual endeayor 10 bring about some
thing which will be profitable indi-
vidually TO both, and collectively to
the whole of the gold fields, as each
sale made will serve to advertise the
whole region, and bring about in time

ment into paying gold mines.

How He Is Elected.

The exact procedure Of a presiden-
tial election is known to comparative
ly few people, and recitation OF the
principal points is always worth
while
The election takes place on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
November.
The vote is for electors, the number
of whom in each state must equal the
whole number of Representatives and
Senators from the state in Congress.
The electors are required BY the
constitution TO meet in their respect
i've states upon the same day, and
Congress has decreed the second Mon
day in January following the election
as the date
The electors vote separately for
President and Vice-President lone of
whom at least shall not be from the
same state as the electorl. and the list
of votes, after being signed, certified
and sealed, is transmitted to Washing

for counting the ballots Of the electors
upon the second Wednesday in the
following February, the president of
the Senate opening the certificates in
the presence of the Senate and House
OF Representatives jointly assembled
A majority of the electoral votes
elect the President and likewise the
/ Vice-President.
Ii no one has majority, the cleo
ton goes TO the House of Representa-
tiyes, the three Tor two candidates
having the highest number of cleo
toral votes being voted upon by states.
The representation from each state
has one vote, there must be two
thirds OF the states present for
quorum, and majority of the states
elect the President.
If the House of Representatives
fails to choose President before the
next March 4, the Vice-President acts
as President.
The Vice-President will have been
elected previously, in all human prob
ability, because if he has not been
named by a majority of electoral
votes at the joint session Of Congress.
the Senate is directed to select him
by majority vote from the two highest
numbers on the original electoral list,
a two-thirds quorum being required
for this action.
Beyond the provisions of the con-
stitution, an act of the Forty-ninth
Congress covers all proceedings in
case Of dispute, and also fixes the
Presidential succession in the emery
ency of death. resignation and disa-
bility in the following order: Secre-
tary Of state, treasury, war, attorney
