MATRIMONY AT SECOND HAND.
People Who Believe In Marriage By
watching q wedding.

- ~e00hm8s
Marrying at second hand" is a curious
custom which has lately come to light In
that part of London called Lambeth.
1t appears that the youth OF that dis
trict believe that by assisting at q le-
climate wedding ceremony, with the In
tent that they shall themselves be u1Ar-
r1ed-by silently following the responses
and exchanging yows-they become united
as legally and economically as the parties
joining hands before the clergyman.
This idea came to light on account OF
rome little difficulty In connection with
a bsptismal ceremony, where objection
was taken by some hostile women folk to
the christening, on the ground that the
parties claiming 10 he the parents Of the
candidate were only married at second
hand"
Inquiry developed that these vicarious
weddings. IL they may be SO termed, are
not uncommon In the district, and that
the participants are usually recognized
by their neIghbors thereafter as welded
people. Home Journal.

Mountain Iron mine which had
85OOO,OOO gallons of water in the pit
has been sufficiently unwatered to
make mining possible and is now
shipping very heavily from the top
levels, two shovels being in ore.
The third shovel is still in the wat
er. The mine will push from now
on to the end of the season of navi-
cation.

SCOl'T SECURITH COMPANY.

Articles of incorporation we're
filed in the office of the register of
deeds Wednesday, of the Scott Sc
curity company, for the mining and
smelling of iron ore. The capital
stock is $4,000 and the incorporat-
ors are P. w. Scott, Jessie G. Scott,
Rosa NJ. E. Scott, Lille A. Scott and
Rosina NJ. S. Scott, all of Virginia.
The steamer Iroquois arrived at
Ashtubula yesterday with a cargo
of 2,456 tons of brown hena tite iron
ore from the Michipicoten field
north of Lake Superior in Canada.
This is the first cargo from that
field brought to a United States
port and it will probably be sent to
one of the valley furnaces. The
Michipicoten field has, it is said,
a practically inexhaustible supply.
The vein of ore extends more than
half mile into a mountain and
one knoll is said to contain three
million tons.
Early in the season it was eStimat-
ed that the Faval mine would ship
l,'IWm tons of iron ore. Somewhat
less than these figures will be real
zed, the demand for ore having fall
en- off; but the Fayal will probably
break the Mountain Irons record
Of 1899, for $4,000 tons. The de-
mand for ore has not warranted
the shipment of 100000 that the
Fayal was prepared to make.
The Lake Superior Consolidated
mines has purchased the fee title to
the Snively tract, adjoining the
Mountain Iron mine on the east
for $37, 800. There are said to be
about 17,50O,OOO tons of good ore
thereon. Miller & Brown have ex-
plored the land lately. The land
was explored by many holes in the
early days of the ranges, but drop
ped by Mr.. Snively.
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1900-11-09

An exploration for iron is under
way at a point about six miles south
from Hibbing. where T. F. Burke is
sinking pits. This is five mile south
of the nearest mines and far from
where ore is supposed to exist. 1t
is said by Mr.. Burke to be an en-
couraging exploration.
Despite the orders issued and
work done to the contrary, the den
liens of Wolf gave clean vote of
10 for division. "A new section crew
may shortly be deemed one of the
necessities at that point.

TOWARDS RAILROADS.

This is one session of the legislature
at which no assault" of any sort has
been made on the railroads. That IS
to say, no adverse legislation of any
sort has been so much as proposed.
Undoubtedly there never was time
when the feeling toward the transpor-
tation lines was so friendly as now.
Nor would one go far wrong in ascrib-
ing 1t to the fact that so many new
roads have been and are being built.
More roads are yet to be built, and
those already running have of late
years pursued a more liberal policy of
improvement. A rambling, shackley
road is an irritation. A smooth and
up-to-date one is blessing aud Joy
forever.
1t is good service the people want,
and if they get it they will complain
but little of determinations and high
rates. The country is developing and
supplying more traffic and more rail
roads are putting their earnings into
better beds and rails and equipment.
Georgia Is proud of her railroads and
is glad to note the fact that all are
prospecting.
