 Harvest hands. Enterprise in this re-
 spect has brought three citizens in
 Wayerley, Neb., within the grasp of the law.
 The three farmers were in the habit of lOunging about the railroad station every evening between 9 and ID o'clock. About that tins a freight train came along and stopped for water In the Lincoln yards before starting for Wa yer two accommodating brakemen always took great pains to leave one car unseaed. Into this tramps would jump.
 When the train stopped for water at Waverley the farmers rushed for the
 car and seized the lurking tramps One of th farmers was a justice of the peace. First the tramps were tempted by offers of gooSi wages to work In case the tramps refused these overt urcs they were thrown into the stuffy jail and sentenced to q few days hard labor for vdgrancy. The labor consist ed in shocking wheat for one of the
 trio.
 The trImps were put to work under close surv i'Ianca and when tn fin | ished their stint were allowed tO de- part in peace with a full stomach and small sum of money given to them by the farmers.
 Several of ths reighbors were jealous

 he would not degrade himself with farm labor. The two farmers dec,ared | that he must.

Active mining operations have

tention Of the company to vigor-
ously prosecute tho work

The New Furnace.

1t is stated that, at meeting
of the Cleveland. Cliffs company
held at Cleveland during the
week, Marquette was selected as
the place where the new blast
furnace is To be located and that
its erection will be started soon,
No particulars, other than that
the furnace is TO be the largest
of its kind in the world, have
been given out. The charcoal
supply is to come from the hard
wood tracts of the company in
the vicinity of Munising but
where the coal is to be burned is
yet mystery. The burning of
this coal will, in itself. be quite
an industry and there is much
curiosity as to the location OF
the coaling and chemical plant.
In connection with this char
coal business the following ex-
tract from Iron Ore will be OF
interest:

Cleveland Cliffs company is one

able. Tie capacity of the stack
has never been reached for the
reason that the supply of char
coal could not be made sufficient
to keep tho furnace working at
its best. 1t was decided some
time since, not TO add TO the
number Of charcoal kilns but in
stead to build modern retorts for
the charring of the wood. Ten
OF these retorts are completed
and were started up on Tuesday
of this week. They have steel
shells, and hold FIVE cords of
wood, which they completely
char in two hours. In the old.
style brick, 90 days were neces-
sary for the proper charring of
of the wood. These ten little
retorts have as great capacity
for producing charcoal as twenty
of the former, big kilns. The
steel shells of tn @ retorts are ex-
ternally heated with coal. Thus
far common coal screenings have
been experiment ted with, but
Mr.. Austin S. Farrell, manager
of the company's furnaces, is
looking up a bituminous coal
supply, and is in correspondence
with Michigan miners who claim
they have coal Of excellent
quality, and that they can COM
pete with the Pennsylvania pro-
ducers. Mr.. Farrell is willing
to give the Michigan mining men
every opportunity for proving
tho value Of their Goals, and
would give them preference,
probably. could they equal
others in that line, The Cleve-
land Cliffs is inclined TO assist
all Legitimate home industries,
and if Michigan coal can be had
at the cost Of Pittsburg, and can
be supplied in desired quantities,
it will PROFESSIONALLY be en-
ployed. The Michigan coal
burns well and is excellent for
steaming purposes. Coal for
the heating of the retorts will
be an important item on the cost
sheets Of the company.
The retorts will be connected

FROM THE MINES
The divers Purchase.

The divers Purchase.
There has been deal Of
guessing as TO the state of affairs
at the Mansfield and the future
management Of the property by
the people of the city during the
week and many different stories
are afloat. Almost all Of them
are incorrect. All that can be
said authoritatively at the pres
ent time is that the mine is q
property of the Oliver Mining
company and that Captain Ben
nett was instructed to take the
mine as a representative of the
Pittsburg concern. No changes
in management have been made
and nothing has been decided
upon or will be decided upon
until the arrival of the Oliver
officials. There may be more
important news in the near
future but at the present time
the same condition exists that
did previous TO the Oliver pur-
chase.

yielding from 40 to As per cent
iron and anywhere from .030 TO
500 per cent phosphorus. These
ores. in ordinary years, will not
stand the charges which are
necessary to their transporting to
the great iron-smelting centres.
IL the waste material can be
eliminated at point nearer the
mines. reducing the cost of
freighting, it would give these
ores greater chance in the
commercial race. The cutting
of the wood from these large
tracts Of land recently acquired
opens the way for the cultiva-
ton of the land, much of which
is we'll adapted to the growing
of crops such as thrive in this
climate. The work, therefore,
will serve o double purpose,
with the ultimate result of add
ing much to the commercial per-
manency of this district. 1t is
certainly q commendable effort
and one which the people of the
region should encourage in every
possible legitimate way.-Iron

Mr.. Farrell has been at work
for some time past on plans for

upon. The furnace is to be
built, however. and will be the
largest charcoal stack TO be
found anywhere, its capacity be-
ing over $50 tons daily.
1t will be up-to date in all
features, and will need very few
men to operate it, automatic

full rein in the designing, and
that the plant will eclipse any
