property in shape for active ship
ment by the opening of the season
of 1901. The new owners will open
up the old shaft abandoned by the
Minnesota company, and will also
open two more shafts on the same
vein. In the explorations made by
the Minnesota company a shaft was
sunk to depth of 90 feet, cutting so
teet OF ore with Il surface covering
OF 23 feet, rendering it possible to
operate the property by the milling
process. 1t is said to be the inten-
ton, however, to first open the mine
underground and if a sufficient
body OF ore is proven the property
may be stripped. The company

$50, ,OOO,OOO IMrfO TEMENTS

Another gigantic expenditure OF
$lO,NOo,OOO for extensions to the Car
neg1e plants is said 10 have been
finally approved by Andrew Carnc-
gle, after his inspection of the plants
at Homestead, Duqucsnc and Brad
dock recently.
In general way plans have been
made for material extensions to the
terminals of the Pittsburg, Besse-
1ner & Lake Erie railroad at Con-
neant, TO ma Ike this more properly
the Carnegie port, besides extern
slons to the great mill plants in the
Pittsburg district.
Another pending set of plans is
understood to have provided vast
additional armor plate plant. To
get out it's quota at the required
rate of the 37,OO0-ton armor contract
that is about to be apportioned by
the government among possibly
three producing companies, the
present plant of the Carnegie com
pany would be nearly engaged to
its capacity for something like sew
en- years. Meantime the company
has some foreign ar1nor plate to
supply and may want to take on adj
ditiOnal contracts.
The present plant cost about four
million dollars. Its gross revenue
from the timess it was put in. opera
ton in 1891 to early in the present
year was near $9,OOO,O0O, or some
thing more than 25 per cent of the
investment per annum.
The Edgar Thomson steel works
suspended for the improvements in
the blooming, rail and finishing
mills authorized some time ago.
The work of installing new appar-
atus, which has been delivered, will
be kept up by large force night
and day until completed.

Death OF u. u. BOOTH.

Again are we called upon to cnron-
lcle the death of one of Virginia's
most respected citizens, Joseph J.
Booth, and although claimed by the
Angel of Death his memory will
perish not from The earth and none
will think of him but to remember
him as Christian man, kind and
loving husband and father and a
a noble citizen, known to all as a
t. Tie friend.
Deceased was born in London,
England, in 1885, coming to America
when young man. Some five years
ago he came to this city from Du-
luth, taking charge of the Virginia
Steam Laundry plant, which he pur-
chased a short time later and re-
moved his family to the city, max
ing for them pleasant home and
bythrift and industry working up
Ii: rative business.
Same three weeks ago he was TAX
EN- i'll with typhoid, and despite the
best of care and gentle n1inisterings
Of loving hands he succumbed to
Natures law and passed out from
his friends and loved ones into an
eternity of bliasful repose, at an
early hour Tuesday morning.
Aside from being man of genial
manner and kindly disposition, at
tributes which win for men the re-
spect of fellowmen, the deceased
was prominent in church and social
circles and the rich voice that is now
forever stilled will be missed at
many charitable gathering an d
entertainment of a social nature.
Deceased was a prominent mem

PASSED TO HER REST

1t was with sincere grief and re-
gret that our people learned of the
death of Mrs. J. H. Grotheim, who
passed peacefully away at the fam
lily residence on Birch street at 7:3O
o'clock Monday morning, after an
illness of long duration which had
rendered her practically an invalid
for the past two years.
Deceased was born at Bergen,
Norway, in 1854. In 1872 she was
united in marriage to Rev. J. H.
Grothein at Madison, Wis. From
this union six children were born,
all Of whom together with the be-
reaved husband and father survive
to mourn the loss and bless the
memory Of the departed.
In the spring of 1893 Rev. Grothein1
removed his family from Duluth to
Virginia on account Of his ~wife's
health, her delicate constitution be,
ing unable to withstand the climatic
changes of the lake 'front.' After
coming here her health improved
for time, but she later fell into a
gradual decline, and for months
past has been an invalid.
Funeral services we're conducted
from the First NJ. +. Church at HOO
o'clock.yesterday morning, the GER
ernonies being conducted by Rev
P. O. Hanson, in the presence of a
large number of sorrowing relatives
and friends. The remains were tax.

TO the bereaved family is extend
ed the sympathy of all in their deep
sorrow.
