have been proved by the actual smelt-
ing of their ores to be among the rich
est in the United States. Their ores,
contrary to all expectations, can be
.ss.d for making the flsesl grade of
Bessemer steel. The ore is present in.
such immense quantities as to warrant
the statement that it is one of the most
valuable deposits in the country A
test of the ore, of which forty-thre e5cor
loads We're sent to Chicago for smelt-
ing, has proved all this, and a good deal,
more. Capitalists are now figuring on
putting a blast furnace into 4Allamakee
county, near Waukon.
The idea that the Allamakee iron.
mines are recent discovery is a mis-
take. Maps of the iron region were
published twenty years ago. But at
that time there was no transportation.
and little value was attached to the de-
posts They We're considered To be OF
possible value at some far-distant date.
The extent OF the deposit was also not
realized al that time.
The iron ore which lies under a large
part of the area of Alamakee county
is proved by the preliminary smelling
tests TO run from 80 to 5i per cent. By
weight, pure iron. II is a remarkably
light ore. and the report from the
shelters is that no ores are known
which are more easily reduced. This
means that the cost OF fuel, perhaps
ths- largest single item IN iron prodlc-
uon, IS Neri- small. Another very iin-
portant fact is that ample deposits OF
lux. limestone formation used IN
smelling iron. are found IN the imme-
date proximity to leton. This means
that nothing Will have 10 be shipped in
except the small quantity of fuel with
Wnicn TINS ore can be reduced Capt.
talists who have been for some time
figuring on securing the mineral rights
in order to sell the ore, are now PLAN
ming the erection of blast furnaces, he
lieving that big iron industry can be
conducted oy reducing the ore instead
of shipping II.
BY far the most important develop-
Iment recently made Is that the ore can
be used for making Bessener steel All
iron ores contain some small. percent.

feet Of making STEEL brittle. Ii the

LARGEST FISH IN THE OCEAN.
Rasking Sharks Are veritable Men.
sters of the Deep.

The biggest fish that swims is known
by seafaring men as the basking shark.
from its habit OF lying for hours on top
of the waves when the weather is calm,
basking in the sun. Scientific men call
this fish the rhnodon. They say its ex-
treme length is 40 feet, but there are
| plenty Of old salts who swear they have
seen "baskers" 60 feet long. Huge as
the basking shark is, it never has been
known to attack a man.
One came ashore off the New England
coast some years ago, and another was
beached on the California coast near
| Monterey in 1893. 1t was plump 40 feet
long, and this lends color to the sailor
mems big stories, since it is hardly prob
able that the largest specimen In exist.
ence has been caught. There was
time when basking sharks were termed
common" but that time passed so long
ago that they now are counted extreme
Iy rare, and the authorities Of the Brit
ish museum have long made standing
offer of 81, 900 for the uninjured skin Of
one. Professor Jordan of the University
of California, who examined the Mon
terey specimen, says that Offer never
will be taken. In his judgment. it would
require labor equivalent to the work Of
one man two whole months to fay . 7
good sized basking shark.
Tie mouth of the Monterey specimen
was OF appalling size. Stretched and
propped open, it measured ten feet from
jaw point to jaw point, and il its throat
had been of proportionate dimensions
the notion that fish could not have
swallowed Jonah would have been ex-
ploded completely A team Of horses
wouldn't have been too large a mouthful
for the Monterey shark. No one knows
what it weighed, for there were no avail
able scales to weigh it on, but 90 tons.
or less than an ordinary locomotive,
was given as a conservative estimate.
Loaded on a specially constructed truck
it would have taken a dozen horses at
least to haul it over an asphalt pave 4
ment, and more would have been re.
quired to transport it over an ordinary
country road.
The basking shark Is not hunted ex-
tensively, because 1t produces relatively
little of commercial value. Nevertheless.
the Portuguese fishermen who captured
the one at Monterey got three barrels of
oil from its liver, and six barrelfuls were
tried out of the liver of the basker cap
tured OH the New England shore.-Chi-
