The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1900-04-14

A waiting disposition among
buyers in iron and steel lines is
evidently source OF some an
xiety among the manufacturers.
Notwithstanding the orders at
high prices upon which the latter
will be engaged for long time
to come. The anxiety relates 10
prices for the latter part of the
year. The manufacturers insist
that there will be no need Of any
great change from present con
ditions if the coming month is
tided over without a break in the
market. The situation is ex.
planned in the following sum

Iron Age:

AtIron River.

Last week representative
for The Reporter visited the
Dcmongo exploration on section
10, ABA, which is under option
ito the Oliver Iron Mining com
Ipany. Quite q little interest is
being taken in that particular
territory, both the Oliver and
Minnesota Iron companies hav-
ing recently secured options on
several properties in that region.
Mr.. Demongo has resided in that
vicinity for many years, has
prospected quite extensively and
is OF the firm opinion that it will
s.omAy require the investment of a
little capital to show up iron ore
lin paying quantities. at the
time of our visit he had sunk
-four pits. No. was sunk to a
depth of about 10 feet and was
bedded in jasper; about 100 feet
south across the formation n sec
ond pitihad been sunk. Alta depth
OF eight feet the cleanest graph
tie we have ever seen was struck.
Mr.. Demongo went south another
100 feet south and put down a
third pit and struck the ledge nj
depth of six feet and threw
out lot of black slate. He
went south again another 10C
feet and struck the ledge about
four feet below the surface.
Supt. Gibson, who was q visi
tor 10 the property at the same
time. was quite well pleased with
The showing SO far made. He
instructed Mr.. Demongo to put
down a fifth pit between the first
and second pits, believing that
in this latter pit the ore would
be struck before going down any
depth.
Martin Beis, ST.. is assisting
Mr.. Demongo. and at the time oil
our visit served Us good a dinner
as we have enjoyed in a long
while.

agent for the Minnesota Iror
company, was in town this weel,
and made an examination of w.
III. James property, two miles
north OF town. He was SO vel
satisfied with the outlook that he
went away, agreeing, in a few
days to send a blank option for
MIR. James to sign.
Mr.. James informs us that in
sinking q we'll n few years ago
he struck fine quality of ore,
but nothing further was done.
Mr.. James, however, is quite
confident that there is ore on his
property, and The Reporter
trusts that such may provo to
be the case. We would also be
pleased 10 see the Minnesota
Iron company become interested
in this district. The company
is a strong and reliable one and
its advent would portend good
for the entire district. -Repor-

polntIngly quiet. New business

pointingly quiet. New business
Is not developing as it should
do at this season. We are now
on the threshold of the second
quarter and the stimulating in.
iluence of spring trade should
begin to be felt. Here and there
some transactions of fair size
are reported, but in a general
way the trade is extremely dull.
The situation is commonly re-
garded as a deadlock between
buyers and sellers, but this is
more apparent than real. Most
manufacturing interests are we'll
supplied with work taken some
time since, and are pushing pro
duction vigorously. Record
breaking outputs are reported.
This does not indicate unsatis
factory conditions. AS long as
the mills and furnaces are able
to keep in operation at high
pressure, and the great produc.
ers manifest no anxiety as TO the
future, there is little warrant for
taking a gloomy view Of the sit
nation. Nevertheless, it would
be much more encouraging TO
find buyers disposed to anticipate
their wants q little more freely
than they are now doing. AS it
is, those who need material are
buying from hand 10 mouth
waiting aud perhaps hoping for
a slump in prices.

woMAN's ODD MONUMENT /.
Glassware Marks Her Tomb
Near Atlanta, Ga.

Probably the most unique tombstone
Ito use the word tombstone figur-
atively-in the state is one not more
than three miles from the center OF
Atlanta, Ca, in the rural cemetery in
Battle Hill. 1t is that of Mrs. V. z.
Bartlett, and was erected by her hus-
band, a confederate veteran. The Bart
let's lived hermits' lives and had no
children. When his wife died five years
ago Bartlett appeared to be crazed.
For long time he buried himself in
the forests. Finally he began the erec-
tion Of tombstone over his wife's
grave, adding to it from time to time
until at present the following articles
compose the pile.
Eight porcelain bowls, twelve china
pitchers, ten glass pitchers, one wheel
from toy wagon, one grindstone, six
oyster shells, three quart bottles, eight
p.nC bottles, six berry bowls, one mir
ror, three salt cellars, one pepper box,
twelve china plates, cups and saucers, a
finger bowl and innumerable bits of
colored glass.
The old man, in spite of the fact that
he has remarked, spends every moon
light night on cot over the grave.

R,sKED LIFE FOR HUSBAND.
The HerOi4m of a Rancher's wife
when a Bull Attacked
Her spouse.

Charles Rota, a well-known rancher
living near San Lorenzo, New Mexico,
undoubtedly owes his life to the hero
ism displayed the other day by his wife.
In his herd was e bull known to be ex-
trcmely ferociouS and Rota has here
tofore always exercised the greatest
precaution on every occasion when he
approached the bull, On the occasion
referred to Rota went into the corra&
to feed the animal and while off his
guard the bull suddenly attacked him
with his horns, ripping deep and ugly
cash on the rancher's left thigh and
fearfully lacerating his face. The
mans agonizing screams attracted his
wife's attention, and she hurried to
the rescue. Climbing into the corral
she began beating the bull with heavy
club, Suddenly the animal wheeled
about and directed his attack upon her.
Rota, though very much exhausted,
grabbed the club his wife had welded,
ana smote the bull one more blow,
which seemed to stun the animal for
few moments, and during the brief
interim man and wife reached place
OF safety, where they both sank to the
ground, completely exhausted from
cAcr!ion ana loss Of blood The brave
woman, who had so heroically risked
E"r life for that OF her husband, sus-
tanned deep cash on the neck.

CITY OF THE FUTURE
Electricity Will Make 1t NOissless
and Clean.
Editor OF ElsetrLSGI Review Draws n
GlOwinE Picture of what May
ne Accomplished In NO
Distant Day.

In discussing the noiseless electrical
city Charles w. Price, editor OF the
Electrical Review, says:
I'm the ideal city distracting noises
will be unknown and dirt and all un-
clean things will be kept without its
pale. Electricity is the magician that
can and assuredly will work the
change.
'sThis admirable day may not be so
far away. We move rapidly now
Twenty years ago there was no
telephone, the electric light existed
only in the laboratories of a few expert
menters, and the electric motor, i'll the
form of an ingenious toy, was looked
upon as an ingenious little machine of
no practical utility. The car horse
jingled his bells on our streets; the
electromobile was still only dream,
and the cab horse and draft horse mon
arch of our roadways.
Electric power stations and electric
light stations are being located far
ther and farther away from the city's
heart; the horse car, the steam loco
motive, the engine in the basement, the
coal stove, are one and all being re-
placed by the quiet, odorless and effect
i've electric motor, by the electric loco
motive, and surely but slowly by the
electric heater.
THE citizen OF New York may to-day
have his Office cooled by his electric fan,
lighted by his incandescent electric
light and heated, it may be, by cleo
trlcity; and his electric telephone
gives him communication with the
country at large, and the same wire
may carry his telegraph message si-
mu taneously without tinterferencewitb
the spoken word, so sidllfully has the
magic art Of the telephonist prevailed.
electricity will soon supplant the
steam locomotive on the elevated roads
of this city, and it is believed will soon
rep ace all steam locomotives now en-
terng Greater New York. The tunnel
now being constructed under Greater
New York will owe its success in carry
ing passengers rapidly and comfort
ably chiefly to that mighty talisman,
the electric current.
The rubber-tired electromobile is
rapidly replacing the driven horse, and
will replace him not only for driving
but for heavy hauling purposes.
''rhe awful and constant volume of
sound of his unnumbered thousands of
iron-shod feet hammering resounding
pavements viii disappear forever, and
with it so per cent. OF the filth and odor
of the street. With the passage of the
horse will go also the stone pave
ments."

CINCINNATI DISAPPOINTED.
Greatly DisaAtiansd with the work of
the Census EnumsratOrs-CIaim
They Are 10000 short.

Great dissatisfaction is felt over the
census returns from Cincinnati, and
from the way the citizens of that
city have complained TO the census Of
flee it has placed the Cincinnati
enumerators below par Cincinnati
claims it is at the least calculation
10000 short on the last count. In
speaking of the matter officials at the
census office were inclined to think
that the count was as correct as that
of ether cities that have been enumer-
ated in the present census, and that
Cincinnati must realize il long ago
passed its prime, which was before
the decline of traffic on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers.
Cincinnati well deserved the name
of Queen City" in the days when
1t commanded the entire trade of
those two tributaries as the metrop-
oils of the state of Ohio. 1t is but
the old story of river versus railways
and no more than can be expected.
The rivalry between Cleveland and
Cincinnati is so great as to which
shall be regarded as the metropolis
of the state that if Cleveland's re-
turns, which will be given out in a
few days by the census office, should
be larger than Cincinnati il will COM
pei Cincinnati to abandon the title
of Queen City" Much bitterness ex-
lists in Cincinnati and the census Of
fee is getting the benefit of it.

FOOTBALL THIS YEAR
Radical Changes Made in Several
of Rules Governing Game.
Erort Made TO Make Game More
Scientific, to stop UnapOrtsmaniiks
Conduct and Eliminate Delay
Tactics of InfsriOr Teams.

Walter Camp and the other members
of the collegiate football rules COM
mittee have been busy for some time re-
yising the football rules in anticipation
of the coming season, The committee
has completed its work and the revised
rules are now in the hands of the
printer.
Radical changes have been made In
several of the rules, The tendency has
been to make the game more scientific,
stop unsportsmarlilie conduct and 10
take away the opportunities inferior
teams have had 20 gain time over their
superiors. The committee has changed
the rule by which team lost the ball
for offsidS play Hereafter the Of
tenders viii he penalized ten yards and
the ball will remain in possession Of the
side having il before the foul was made.
An important change is due to the
outcome of last years Harvard-Yaie
game, when Yale resurrected the old
2O-yard rule in order to hold the ball
when near Horvard's goal. Rathe'
than give up the ball Yale dropped back
20 yards and kept the bali. The rule
has been changed to read: ~ team
cannot take advantage of Shis rule a
second time unless the BAH has ex-
charged possession after the team us
jps She cl-,ard rule had first taken ad-
iG.tgge rt the rule
lrinccaa,s movements last year in
he fa,t-Priuceton game of the side
Enc cc%chirc rules led to the imrcsinc
IL tcnrard penalty for ccuchn
the side lines. Any unfair act
siilcd by a player or any sympa-
m:y also be punished by ten
r6nalty.
Ai;h the exception of these four
changes the rules OF 1899 will prevail
during the coming season.
