NEW FURNACE ID GO UP AT WOODWARD Iron Company Preparing to
 Double Output
WILL BE ON MODERN PLAN
Great Amount of Labor Will Be Saved By Machinery-PIant for Manu- featuring WheelbarroWs Lo-
 cated at Bessemer.

l Bessemer, October 1.-(Special.) .)-One of | the largest single furnaces in the world Is to be erected at Woodward by the
 Woodward Iron Company.
 It Is said that the furnace will be of | twenty to twenty-two feet back and will I be paragon of modern improvement and 1 invention; that it will be electrically pro- vided so as to largely do away with hard labor. The handling and lifting, weigh ing and charging are all to be done by
 machinery, and the same in casting, and
 handling the pig.
 The plans are now being worked out ate the change.
 Woodward is little over a mile from the city limits of Bessemer. It is the location of the two furnaces of the Woodward Iron Company. These furnaces have the
 position and distinction of being directly | between the sources of supply of their raw material, and the nearest to those 1 sources of any plant in Alabama-one | mile from their coal supply and three
 miles from their iron ore supply. These furnaces are said to be the best money | making furnaces in the world. | Their past and present, however, Is but a basis and verif1cation of what is to be
 realized in the future. Since Manager Mo Cormicks advent in the nature of things
 1t was necessary to give him something to do, fitted to his exceptional ability and
 ambition. The business of the Woodward Iron Company is to be doubled. Both the coal and iron ore mines are to be in
 creased in capacity to yield just double their present output, and the furnace is
 to be built to work up the increased out put.
 The City Court was busy on some gar
 nishment appeal cases today. Yesterday
 evening Judgment was given Mrs. Batson
 for $1035 in her suit against the Fidelity
 Mutual Life Insurance Company. Mrs. Henry c. Waller returned last
 night from visit to the Pan-American Exposition.
 It looks as if Bessemer was at last to
 have new industry. James G. Newber- gin, wheelbarrow manufacturer of Blue Bend, Ills, has purchased half block be-
 tween Seventh and Eighth avenues and
 Twenty-ffth and Twenty-sixth streets, on the Louisville and Nashville Belt Line, and will erect plant to manufacture
 iron and wooden wheelbarrows, costing
 $250Oo. and employing thirty men. MT. Newbergin will erect also a handsome
 residence at the corner of Dartmouth and Nineteenth streets.

DIDN'T FIND MYTHICAL LEDGE.
California Prospector Failed In Idaho, Will
Come to Sumpter,

Some to Sumptef.
Peter johnson, California prospect
or, who passed through Portland several
months ago, en- rou'e to the Bitter Root
mountains, in search of the famous Rob-
inson lead, has returned in disgust and
left for his home in Marysville last
night.
81 don't believe there ever was such
Lead" said the old prospector, "and I
don't even believe this man Robinson
ever found such float as he alleged he
did. After leaving here last April we
made our way to Pierce City, Idaho,
which is lively little mining town,
with plenty of good properties near it.
The snow had not yet left the noun
tains, so we were compelled to pitch
camp there for several weeks. During
that time we had ample opportunity to
gather information from old-timers in
those parts, and from the talks had
with several of them l was sure our
search would not be rewarded. They
informed me that while Robinson may
have had valuable float which assayed
away up in the thousands OF dollars,
they were sure he had not discovered
the ledge from which it originated. He
had shown the ore to several parties, in
terested them in the proposition, and
started out with them to find It.
After struggling over the mountains
the party held consultation and in
formed Robinson that unless he led
them to the ledge, which he told them
he knew all about, they would take 1t
for granted he had been playing them
and would lynch him. Seeing his bluff
had led him into serious position,
Robinson did his best to find some lead
that would answer his purpose, swore by
all that was holy that he had not been
running hoax. He escaped with a
whole hide, even though he did not find
the famous lead, and the party returned
home disgusted. 1t is the opinion OF
old.timers that Robinson retold his
wonderful story 30 many times that he
began to believe it himself, but he never
found the object OF his search.
"When the snow had gone off we left
Pierce City, as the balance Of the party
did not like the idea of giving up the
search after travelling such a distance,
and struck off towards Elk City. There
were no trails so we kept on the ridges
most of the time, pitching camp ut the
head OF some stream. We did plenty OF
prospecting, but while we found some
good indications of mineral, did not
touch them. The rest Of the party had
the "big eye," and wanted something
that assayed thousands OF dollars to the
ton. After long, weary trip of almost
q month, we reached Elk City, which,
with open trails, would have been less
than three days trip. The rest OF the
party by this time had all the Robinson
lead they wanted, but having heard OF
the Dixie and Big creek districts, struck
off for them.
81 left the party and made for Sump'
ter, Ore. That place il all right and
will some day make one Of the greatest
camps on earth. There is plenty OF
ground left ahat il practically unpros'
pected, and am going to tale chance
there early next spring. BY the time
had made my trip back home and re-
turned it would be too late for me to dc
much this summer.-Portland Tele'

years 1880 and 1880, but since that date
no great amount Of work has been done
on the claim. With good cleanup this
season, the attention of prospectors will
be turned to that locality, and be the

property in that part Of the Susanville
