Koyenue Stamps TINT Must he Cat Care

Now it seem that not only must
tho people who do not want the Fill
ipinos pay for the wonderful war
which is being carried on in tho far
Philippines, but they must also go
armed with knives. The Stamp Act,
considerably more outrageous and
unnecessary than that against which
the Boston people resented some
years ago, has brought with it
number Of dodgers, who, while fol-
lowing the letter Of the law in atlix-
ing stamps upon documents, etc,
took the trouble to carefully remove
said stamps and use them over and
over again, taking out the required
ink marks with Chemicals This the
wise Government found was dccreas-
ing the revenue for the war, and I'M
less checked would mean reduction
in Gen. Otis's salary. So the wise
men set to thinking, and the result
was an order requiring that stamps
should not only be cancelled in ink,
but also mutilhted by cutting The
order goes into effect Friday, De.

ARCTIC IRON ORE DOCKS
Preparing to Ship Swedish Ore to England
from . Norway Flord.

The Scandinavians are about to construct a
thoroughly up date harbor at the terminus
on Ofoten ford. Norway, OF the railroad from the
Gollivara iron mines in Sweden The harbor will
be about $50 miles north Of the Arctic Circle The
docks to be built there will rival those OF Lake
Superior in size and convenience The trains
laden with ore will be run out upon the quays
the bottom OF the cars will be opened and the ore
will be discharged into great pockets on the floor
below. The steamships tied up at the uuays
will be loaded In the same way, the floors OF the
ore poe ~ sloping at such an angle that when
the doots arc open the will be carried by grav
tation into the holds OF the vessels They will
be loaded at the rate of 900 tons an hour, and
fifty to eighty will be able to handle 200 COO
tons Of ore in year
This news is of the greatest interest to British
iron manufacturers because Sweden is likely
To he their mnn source Of iron ore for many years
to come The mines OF Bilbao. Spain, have
long fed the blast furnaces OF England with much
OF the iron ore that country has turned into pig
iron. But the Spanish mines arc now almost
ex haustcd and Sweden Is coming 10 the front
as the source of the British supply The Swedes
have no coal with which TO smet their orc ant th5y
are therefore willing TO sell their product abroad
The most famous centre Of their iron mining
is al Gelivara not far from the Baltic and con
u
apparently nexhnusube supply Of ore. and for
years a railroad has brought il down TO the Baltic
for shipment But this narrow arm of the sea
freezes over in winter, there are only four or Ave
months navigation in the year, and the railroad
has not been frstratc success THIS is the
reason a railroad is now building from Gcllivara
across Sweden and Norway To Ofoten, where the
warm influence OF the Gulf Stream drift keeps the
fords open the year round. ard 80 a Consta Mt sup
ply Of ore may be forwarded from this new At
lantic port to the British blast furnaces
The Swedish ore conta little too muC h
phosphorus to be very easily reduced, but other
wise il is regarded among the best iron ores
The expense Of mining IL is very small, as il can
be shoveed by machinery in open cuts upon the
cars, as is the case with much Of our Lake Su-
perior ore. II will not cost much over SO a ton
delivered at Ofoten, and il is expected that the
freight rates on the vessels will he low The
iron from this is unsurpassed for the manu-
facturs Of tool steel bicycle spokes harness mount
ings, horseshoe nails and many other articles
Our blast furnaces obtain their ore from the Lake
Superior mines at cost Of about so cents a TON
froightage. ard IL is not likely that transportation
charges on the Swedish ore can be fixed az 50 low
figure.
