The Masquerade ball, given by the

81. Paul Railway Company 70 Advertise Their
Resources.
Luis Jackson, industrial commissions
or OF the Chicngo, Milwaukee and Sc.
Paul Railway company, and Alfred
Meads OF Ontonagon spent several days
recently in Marquette interviewing the
corporations and ether large land hold
crs in the Ontcnagon district, gathering
information and statistics in reference
to the hemloclS, hardwood ind other
timber resources OF that district. From
the information gained maps will be
made and circulars printed, giving de-
tailed Information OF tho timber re-
sources OF not only the Ontonagon dis
trict, but the upper peninsula In general.
Similar steps were taken by the Chi
cago. Milwaukee, and st. Paul Rail-
way company three or four years ago
to attract the attention oi Eastern tan.
merry men to the hemlock resources ol
the Wisconsin valley division Of their
road, and the success Of tile enterprise
was phenominnl. In that valley is now
located some OF tlle largest tanneriet
in the world, and there Is no reason
why the same results cannot bs
obtained for the hemlock districts o.
Lake Superior. 0ntonagon is tho LAX,
Superior terminus of the Chicago, Mil
wnukee and st. Paul railway, and under
the guidance Of this company specia
efforts are being made TO call the attcn
tion OF eastern and other manufactures
TO the favorable location along the line
OF road Tor tanncrics, hardwood mills
and manufactures. pulp wood anf
other industries. For forty miles eacI
side OF the harbor OF 0ntonagon th'
hemlock forests arc as yet untouched
and examinations OF the hemIock bari
made by tannery experts oi the east
prove il to be equal to the best. These
examinations will undoubtedly lend tt
the location of one or more tanneriel
there during the coming year.
Besides the tanning industry the com
pany will make special efforts to induc'
hardwood manufacturers and the pull
wood industry to locate there, an,
negotiations already pending are almos
certain.

The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume OF
the Week 10 Iron Circles.
Discussion OF the price OF ore for 1896
Is less active among sellers OF iron ore
than among consuming interests. There
has been not a little guessing OF late in
some Of the printed comment on the sit
uation. but II seems to be forgotten in
these attempts at iorecastlng that there
are one or two questions that immedi-
ately overshadow that Of price. The at
titude Of leading interests on the Mesabi
range Is one OF these II can hardly be
taken for granted. because OF the Me-
sabi's great capacity for Bcssemer ore
production in 1896. that therefore 30
agreement among Bessemer oreproducers

produce was great Ia the year just
closing. A year ago careful estimates
put the possibilitiesior 1895 shipmcntsat
1000. 900 tons. but tIeactual was about
1,750,O00 tons less. A question more
to the point Il what proportions OF the

100. 900 tons OF its output non. Besse-
merj some criterion is afforded OF the
proportion the Mesabi win furnish Of the
Bcssemcr ores that will be bought In
1896. Some iurnacemen are increasing
their use Of Mcsabi ores; others will take
no more tban their present percentage

Secretary Lamont's Report.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-In his an
nual report, which has been made pub
lie, Secretary Lamont renews his pre-.
vious recommendation that the infantry
be reorganized on the general idea Of
three light and mobile battalions of
four companies each to the regiment
instead of the cumbersome 10-company
formation adopted a century ago and
abandoned by other nations since the
development of modern magazine rifles,
and he quotes Generals Sherman, Sher-
idan and Schofsld in support of the me-
cessity of this reorganization of the
infantry
The completion already of some coast
defenses and the approaching compile
ton of other modern batteries render
necessary "A
Larger Force of Artilleristx,
but no other increases of the army is
asked for The plan Of sea coast de-
fense involves 100 distinct batteries in
over 20 harbors.
Fifteen regiments of regulars are on
duty east of the Missouri, 20 are To-
Gated ON the plains and mountains
between the Missouri and the eastern
boundary of the Pacific states, and five
are on the Pacific coast. There are II

eating $5l, SOB, ,29S. Among them il
an item of 81 ,436, 795 for salaries and

ROSS IS LOCATED
Missing Kansas City Money Clerk
of Pacific and United States
Companies
Said to Be Under Surveillance in
St. Louis Shortage Checks
Coming In.
Suspected Large Sums Have Been
Stolen Through Collusion
Of Employees.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 2S.-George E.
cific and United States Express com
panies, has been located in st. Louis by
;he surety company that furnished his
bond, and is now under surveillance by
them, according to a special to a local
paper. 1t is now stated that the ex-
press company officials had all along
known of Ross's exact location, but
have kept it quiet, because there are, it
is said, others implicated, who are not
yet i'll custody.
COllusion Between Employees.
The officials still refuse to give out
information of definite character, but
enough has been learned, says local
paper, to merit the statement that evil
dence Of a collusion between certain
employees to rob the express companies
has been turned up. Last Sunday there
was handled through the Office over
which Ross presided, money packages
containing $4,000. Already $2,39O
Of this amount is known to be missing,
and the books are still being gone over.
Shortage checks have been COM
ing in so regularly since
the examination began, it is
said, that the officials have renewed
their efforts, and now fear that the
whole $4,000 may never have reached
its destination AS the system of
checking is necessarily slow, the pack
ages having been destined for various
points, the result will not be known i'm
mediately. In the meantime the ex.
press officials absolutely refuse to give
out any statement for publication,
other than that Ross has been located.
