ORE MOVEMENT.

The Iron Trade Review says: One
of the encouraging features of the
week has been the report of the
iron ore movement during August,
which has but recently been issued
by the shippers. 1t shows that dur
ing. August there were received at
the principal Lake Erie ports 3,6O2,-
COOS tons of iron ore. During Aug
ust, 1900, the movement amounted
to 2,911 ,622, showing therefore an in
crease for the month of August
this year of 690,383. The figures
are surprising when it is recalled
that during that month car short
age was noticeable which prevent
ed any large direct movement from
the boats to the stock piles of the
furnaces.
The report also shows that the to-
tai shipments to Sept. was 12,263,-
1876 tons, as against 12,366O22 tons
up to Sept. l, 1900, showing there
fore that the shippers are still 1922
$50 tons behind what they were a
year ago. Even this shortage is
encouraging when it is considered
that at the opening of August the
shippers we're 792J696 tons behind
the movement to that same date
year ago. While the short has not
been entirely wiped out, as some
hoped. the shippers have come 80
near to it as to practically have ac-
complished their purpose.
The present pace being maintain
ed during the month of September
will permit the shippers not only
TO catch up with last years move
ment, but also to make certain
gains which are counted upon to
increase the total shipment Of this
year past what was reached a year
ago. In fact, some shippers are
looking for a total movement for
the season of 1901 of more than TO-
100000 tons, notwithstanding the
fact that the season was delayed
six weeks at the start. The good
showing is the beneficial effect of
the increase of the ore-carrying
tonnage and is in large measure
due to the fact that the other trades
have not demanded that the ore
trade divide tonnage with them
during the summer.

TO COLLECT FOR LIQUOR.

A large quantity of "booze" is the
subject of a suit begun in district
court this morning by the Sattler
Liquor company against L. Epp-

O'Hara. The lot includes twenty
one gallons of port wine and sixteen
gallons of gin, together with sun

is alleged that the plaintiff is the
owner of the goods, and that on
Aug. 20, at Biwabik, the defendant

PENUKEE RANGE DISCOVERlES.
A recent discovery of iron ore on
the once prospective but long ago
deserted Penokee iron range, which
stretches along from Hurley, past
Mellen and Mineral Lake and be-
yond White River in Ashland
county, has caused strong furry
in Iron county, Wisconsin, among
people generally, and companies
are being formed for the purpose
of developing certain points on the
range where it is supposed ore in
huge quantities is embedded.
About a month since a prospec-
tive miner, named Guest. who re-
sides at Hurley and who has been
working on the range all summer
with mining machinery. made a
find OF ore which is so promising
that hundreds of Ashlanders and
people generally throughout the
county have visited the scene of
the find and are now preparing for
the formation of stock companies
to work certain points of the range
which have evinced signs of ore be-
ing there in paying quantities. One
company was formed this week of
Ashland county citizens, most of
whom reside at Mellen and points
down the Central railway, and a
capital of $15,00O,OO0 was raised in
cash for the development OF the
property where Guest, the Hurley
resident, made his DISCOVERY. The
com pany has filed it's articles of in
corporation with the register of
deeds of Iron county and will be
known as the Guest Mining COM
pany.
It is said by men in the best posi-
ton to know, that the Penokee range
is but continuation of the wealthy
Gogebic range and contains iron
ore in unestimatable quantities.
The people of Ash1a nd are much
enthused over the find and persons
of financial consideration are look
ing into the matter with much scru-
tiny.
Years ago the Penokee range was
lauded strongly for it's wealth of
ore and certain people, financially
una BILE to do much prospecting,
went to the range with view to de-
veloping mines. Becoming dis
heartened most of them gave up
the enterprise, concluding that the
property was worthless from a
mineral standpoint. About this
same time the boom days we're on
at Ironwood and Hurley, the Goge-
gic range centers, and the greater
portion of attention was absorbed
at those points.

POWER IN Il POUND OF tYIAE.

POWER IN POUND or COAL.
A pound of coal can produce pow
er sufficient to pull large express
train distance of" one-sixth of a
mile, going at the rate of 80 miles
an hour, writes an expert locomo-
tive engineer. You would }be: sur
Prised at the amount of work which
the energy from this small quanti-
ty of coal can do. For the purpose
of explaining, take, tor instance. a
pound of what might be called
average coal, containing about TO-
600 heat units. This would be some
Whist smaller in size than mans
fist. If this pound of coal could be
burned completely and entirely un-
der water and all of the heat should
go into the water, a weight of 625
lbs. of water could be raised to the
height of one #. If this pound of
coal could be completely burned in
water one foot deep, with temper
allure of GA degrees, and all TIE heat
from this coal be impaired into the
water, this water would become Is
degree hotter, thus being suitable
for comfortable bath. If adapted
to mechanical work, the 10000 heat
units in the one pound of coal
would be equivalent to 236 horse
power. The 236 horse power of pot
tential energy contained in the
pound of coal is enough to haul a
train of eight cars for a period of
one fifth of minute, or a distance
of one-sixth of mile going at the
rate of 30 miles an hour. It has al
so been found to be able to draw a
cable train, including a grip car
and trailer, for a distance of two
miles at the rate of nine miles an
hour. 1t would also be of sufficient
power to pull an electric car, we'll
filled with passengers, for two miles
and half, at rate of ten miles. an
hour.
If the power in this pound of coal
is compared with the work of a
strong man used to hard labor, il
would be found that there is more
than sufficient power in the pound
of coal to do in one minute the
days work of eight hours, of tive
strong men. This is accounted TO,
in this way: The work of a strong
man, used to hard work, is estimat
ed as being equal to one-tenth of a
horse power. The eight hours
work is equivalent to 48O minutes
Naturally, while working, a man
makes number of stops, either tc
rest or to change the monotony of
his position. These stops, then
would, without difficulty, take up
one-tenth of mans time. Thus
this would reduce the time of &C.
tual work to 432 minutes. This
time, at one-tenth of horse power
makes the total of his days labor
amount to 1872 horse power. AT
this rate it is shown that it would
that it would take 1900 strong men,
working constantly, to do jointly
the same amount of work in one
minute as can be done by the sin.
gle pound of coal.
Another line of work in which the
superiority of single pound OF
coal is shown beside the labor of a
man, is that of saving wood. A
man may consider himself a swift
sawyer, by making sixty strokes a
minute, each stroke of the blade
having progressed feet minute,
but circular saw, driven by ma
chinery, may be put through seven
ty times that distance and saw. sew
enty times as much wood. Still,
this little pound of coal has the
power to keep in operation $50 such
