BILLET EVERY
 FOUR MINUTES Record Breaking Run at the Ens- ley Steel MiII-Furnace
 to Resume

The steel mill at Ensley broke all records Wednesday, when it averaged one. billet every four minutes for six hours. Each bil- let weighs about three tons, thus making forty-five tons per hour, or 20 tons in six hours. Only five of the furnaces were in operation at the time. Running day and night at this rate, the five furnaces would have turned out 10S0 tons of steel in twenty four hours. The entire plant of ten fur naces at the same rate would make 216O tons in twenty-four hours. The capacity of the. ten furnaces is supposed to be 1000 tons per day.
 The Trussville furnace will prohahlp be put in operation again soon. It Is stated that MT Lacey, who had a contract to supply a portion of the ore for the furnace when 1t was in operation last winter and spring. has made the owners a proposition to lease it. The matter is now under con- sideration, and the proposition may be accepted.
 The Trussvile furnace was repaired and put in opera ton the latter part of last year and continued in blast until few months ago, when the price of iron fell off se--ral dollars a ton.

NEWS OF NOTE IN
 RAILROAD CIRCLES
Conference of SuperintendeniS
 Held in Chattanooga
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS UP
L. 6 N. Earnings Show Healthy In- crease for October Over Last Year. Work Progressing on EnsIey
 southern-Links and Pins.

It is stated that one of the questions dis cussed at the conference in Chattanooga Tuesday between General Superintendent Dodsof of the Southern Railway and the superintendents of the divisions in the western district was a schedule between Cincinnati and Louisville and Meridian. Nothing was given out as to the result of the conference. Superintendent A. J. Frazer of the Alabama Great Southern was pres- ent at the conference.
 H. C. Mcclellan, soliciting agent of the Southern at Memphis, has resigned to en- gage in other business. T. F. Andrews, chief clerk in the office of Commercial Agent A. R. Davant at Memphis, was appointed so- Hciting agent to take MT. McKelar's place. MT. McKellar was paymaster of the Memphis and Charleston road before it's absorption by the Southern Railway, and is said to have been tfle youngest paymas- ter on any railroad in the United States.
 L. & N. Earnings.
 The Louisville and Nashvile's net earn ingsl for the month of October shaved gain of $112 250 over the month of October last year, bringing the increase for the four months from July l to $1O5, ,271, or an av- craze gain of $26,917 per month. If this rate of increase is maintained for the balance of the fiscal year, the company will pay a ' per cent dividend.
 The contractors are making splendid prog ress with the grading of the Ensley South ern road and expect to have the work com- pleted to the Warrior river before spring. The contract for the eight miles between the Little Warrior and the Warrior rivers has not been let yet, and no time is stated for the awarding of the contract.
