TMULEs AND INSANITY.
Another Daft Ties a Carload of Mules
Up at Memphis.

Fort Scott, Jan. 25-Some time ago a
man named Johnson appeared at Err
win, Grant & Co.'S horse and mule
market and negotiated for a car load
of mules, and upon a misrepresenta-
ton that number were shipped to
Dadeville, Ala, where Johnson lived.
After the stock had been shipped it was
found that the man was insane, and
through the Memphis railroad company
the mules were stopped at Memphis,
and are now tied up in the yards at
that place.
This makes the second time an unbal-
anced man purchased mules from Err
win. Grant & Co., the former man,
DuckwOrth, having been in that condi-
ton, and it seems that mules and in
sanity go together.

Leavenworth, Jan. 25.-Prof. L. l..
Dyche while here recently, gave praise
to Nansen.
He said: f'Nansen's expedition puts
the whole question of Arctic explOra-

through the Arctic basin, and while he
did not touch the pole, he has gone
nea renough to it to know what that
field is.
Reaching the mathematical pole is
now merely a matter of sentiment, al
though its accomplishment would, of
course, bring fame to the explorer"

and carbonate of lime than could be put
into it by any means whatever.
But perhaps he intends the expression
lime" to be taken for carbonate of lime,
in which case the lime would be 17.41 per
cent. On this basis there would be left 10
per cent. for silica, alumina, etc., which is
not far from the correct figures. Both the
limy (hard) ore and the lime-free (soft
hematite are fossil ores of the truest type,
and they are mined from the same seam,
the soft ore occupying the upper levels to
the surface Qor the most parD, and the
hard ore being under heavier cover.
1t will be little surprising to many to
learn that both these ores are practically
dug from the surface when as a matter
, of fact, the supply of soft ore which alone
is or was practically dug from the surface
is nearly exhausted, and that some of the
slopes put down for mining the limy ore
/ are already in from 1000 to 800 feet on the
dip, $50 to 800 feet below the surface. The
Alabama ore miners have practically dug
from the surface" until they have dug out
pretty nearly all the ore that is worth NOV
ing, and by far the greater amount of Red
Mountain ore now obtained has to be won
oy regular underground mining, much more
expensive than the bench system of surface
work.

ON ALABAMA PIG IRON

From the American Manufacturer.
We reproduce in. our columns the remarks
of one of the best informed of iron masters
on the situation in Alabama, and we re-
greet that We cannot indorse all that he
says. Speaking of the Red Mountain ores,
he Classics them into FOSSIL or limy, with
So per cent. of iron and 81 per cent. of lime.
and sliceous with so per cent. of iron and
20 per cent of silica. little calculation
will show that henatite ore~carrying So
per cent of iron will have 90 per cent. of
oxide of iron, and that 81 per cent. of lime
corresponds to 55.1S per cent. of carbonate
of lime. The oxide of iron and the car
Donate of lime added together make 105.1S
per cent, per cent more than 100, without
leaving any room for silica, alumina, phos-
phorus, moisture, etc. This would be rather
a curious kind of ore, with no silica what
ever and per cent. more of oxide of iron
