ENGnNES STAR UP
FIRST TEST MADE OF REBUILT
MACHINERY AT FURNACE.
Fires Built Under the Boilers and
. Steam Gotten Up to Give the En-
Efnes a Trial Turn-Rebuildine
Operations Carried On More Rap
idly Than They Have Been mt
Any Time.

The blast furnace operated on a small
scale yesterday afternoon for short time.
Early in the afternoon fires were built
under the boilers, and the engine was
started and run for a short time.
The starting up was more of test than
anything else, but everything passed off
very nicely. 1t will be long time yet
before the furnace is ready for opera
lions. Work is pushing now as it never
was before, however, and everything
points to the carrying out of the prelim-
inaries just as fast as it can be DONE,
The big furnace, which will turn out 200
tons of pig iron each day, is fast rebuild
ing. 1t is a good deal of a job, but it will
not be long before this part of the work
is completed.
The gas house for furnishing gas to the
furnace is now rushed, as the gas must
be ready for use before the furnace can
turn out pig iron. The house will be of
brick and Is partially untier ground.
The tin roof of the building will prob
ably be renewed before blasting opera
,tions are commenced. 1t is In bad shape
as result of the ravages of the weather
The timber for the cranes is preparing and
the cranes which will handle the iron
by the ton will soon be completed. Taken
on the whole, however, it is thought that
the work to be done amounts to so much
that 1t will be two months before opera
tons are. begun. a

COAL COMING MORE RAPIDLY.
Lake Superior Earring Better Than
*5ss Lake Michigan.

Lake Superior Earring BETTER Than
Lake Michigan.
Coal receipts at the head of the lakes
have improved materially during the PAST
week. IA local coal manager says mat
Lake Superior is faring better than Lake
Michigan In this respect. One reason Tor
this, is that boats get better despatch and
ar.other is that iron ore at $1.25 to $l.SO,
or wheat and lumber at the present prof.
liable rates. are as good thing as vessel
men are looking. for just now, though they
expect to do even better later on. 1su:
despatch Is the main thing with the boats,
cspec: tally the bigger class of tonnage.
There Is no doubt that considerable Ger
ri DRY commonly supplied with coal from
tile head Of the lakes will be provided To-.
AN rail- this year. but this will not be as
big an item as some of the coal men have
said 1t WIN, II a & transportation man
views on the subject may be accepted a.
true. He says that some OF the territory
heretofore supplied from Duluth will be
re ached by all rain but ony in such cases
as At will be found profitable under the
existing high lake freights.
The local coal manager referred to says
more coal will be required In the North
west than any previous year and that cal
receipts at the head of the lakes win show
no falling of in. spite Of coal coming into
this territory all rail. q
