The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume Of
the w eek in Iron Circles.
The outlook for ore sales is not prom
ising, apart from the purchases OF low
phosphorus Bessemers which will come
in due time from two large interests.
The average furnaceman finds no induce
ment under present conditions to tie
himself up with twelyc-months' con.
tract, and in u number OF cases, when the
supply OF ore now on hand is used up,
ton will not be taken up until there h IA
chance OF running at profit. Some few
sales of Mesabi non Besscmers have been
made on n basis OF 81 for IN ore running
phosphorus. The question of lower
ireights from mines to upper lake docks
IL still in abcyance. Mesabi range rail
roads ARE quite disposed to maintain
the rate of other years, but the action uf
old-range roads will finally decide. While
the rate to Marquette has been thirty
two cents from Marquette range mines, it
il understood that some business was
done last year ut twonty-seven cents.
The vessel situation is unchanged. Some
business has been done TO Escanaba,
recently, but the scvonty-cent rate talked
OF from the head Of the lakes il not es.
tablished as yet by contracts. There
will be smaller difference this year be-
tween the Lake Michigan and Lake Su.
perior rate, since deeper water ut the
500 will permit OF considerably larger
Lake Superior cargocs.

THE EASTER MONDAY BALL.

The Easter Monday ball was n grand
opening OF the festive season. About
one hundred couples attended and
every body appeared TO be feeling excep-
tionally happy over the close OF the
lenten season. The big opera house
shook with mirth. The Crystal Falls
orchestra was ut its best aud played in
such "a manner that the few staid bodies
who attended merely To look on could
not resist the temptation TO join the
rollicsome rovolers. At midnight all
hands joined in the grand march TO the
dining room, where Restaurateur
Desbien was prepared to serve all
corners. At three O'Clock the musicians
were importuned to play lust one more
dance" after which the merry makers
dispersed.
The affair was such grand success,
socially and financially, that the band
has decided 10 give another dance in the
near future. aud those who attended
Monday night hope IL will bo in the very
near future.

ARTHUR cAMPBELL INJURED.



Shortly after nine o'clock yesterday
morning. Arthur Campbell was terribly
and perhaps fatally kicked by horse.
The horse had been in the stable for some
time and was very restive when Arthur
took him out for exercise yesterday
morning. He was riding by the residence
OF his brother-in in-law, G. III. Watson,
when a dog startled the horse, which
SHE'D suddenly, unseating it's rider, who
landed on his feet and, stumbling, fell
backward. The horse made n sudden
spring forward, the hind feet shot out
and one OF the iron-shod hoofs struck
the young man fairly on the side OF the
head. Friends soon came to his assist
ance and tried to rcsuscitatc him, but
finding il impossible, bore him To the
residence OF his parents on Fourth
street. DR.. Darling was summoned and
has since done all ia his power to ease
the sufferer, but mt this writing, almost
thirty hours after the accident. he is still
unconscious.
The side OF the young mans face is
terribly swollen and in front OF the ear
is an ugly gnsh that required stitching.
During the night he showed signs OF re-
turning life and ut times since has APP
penred to be semi-eonscious. Thus far,
DR.. Darling expresses but slight hopes OF
his recovery.
il the prayorfully expressed wishes oi n
community could do anght to alleviate
the suffering or save the life OF one OF
Crystal Falls most upright and popular
young men, Arthur Campbell would
soon be well.
