UTAH's BIG IRON RANGES.
More in Sight Than in All the Lake
Region.

Region.
81 predict" said John T. Jones of
Iron Mountain, Mich, that before the
next ten years expire the state Of
Utah will be the banner state
in the production of iron
in the United States,' in the Salt
Lake Tribune of July 26.
Mr.. Jones has spent nearly twenty
two years among the iron ores of the
Lake Superior region and passed upon
the vast iron deposits near Cedar
City in Iron county, which were re-
Gently purchased by P. L. Kimberley,
of Sharon, Pa, and his associates for
the colossal sum of $2,250,000 Mr..
Jones also stated that in 1898 he read
| p paper before the American Institute
OF Mining Engineers at Montreal Can
ada, and at that time he predicted
that the iron output of Minnesota,
which was thea less than 100000
tons q ear would reach 100000 900
tons per annura in ten years Mime
sofa will produce this year, says Mr..
Jones, about 100000 tons of iron, so
that his former prediction has been
verified in nine years, and he feels
equally confident of the accuracy of
his estimate of the growth of the iron
industry in Utah.
Continuing, he said that Mr. Kim
berley and his associates control more
and better ore than Mr.. Schwab' s
testimony accredited to the United
States Steel company in the United
States. The outcrop, he says, shows
more ore in sight than do the five iron
ranges Of the Lake Superior district
of the Upper peninsula and the Utah
! deposits contain all the varieties that
are found elsewhere. The physical
construction of the Utah ores, he
says, is equal to the old range ores
and not unlike the Mesaba. They
contain hematite, limonite and the
| blue specular varieties of the Me
nominee range. At least one-third of
the Utah ores, he says, will make a
Bessemer mixture that will average
045 per cent. phosphorus and 60 per
cent. iron. Mr. Jones having com
| pleted his research in this field left
for the east. In connection with this
large transaction in iron grounds
Colonel S. B. Miner paid to John c.
Cutler, Jr., as trustee for the estate OF
Thomas Taylor, $4,000 for seven
iron claims that form a part of the
Kimberley purchase and will eventu
ally pass into the hands of those pur
chasers. The contract price for the
Taylor holdings is $175000 of which
| $4,000 has now been paid.

HORSE Millinery.

1t was very early in the morning and
all the horses in the boarding-stahle
were getting ready to go to business.
How do you like my new hat?''
asked Kitty Gray-horse, as she placed
a straw hat on her shapely head, and
cleverly drew her ears through the
ear-holes.
Every stylish and becoming" said
Rosie Red-horse. ''Pull it little
more over your forehead. There! How
very becoming the scarlet trimming is
to you Now I can't wear scarlet at
all. look like a fright in it"
"You look like a fright in anything, .
mumbled Bessie Bay-horse, ill-natured-
ly, half under her breath.
whats that?" asked Rosie sharply.
Some people haven't any more man
ners than to MUNICH their words"
did you happen to meet the dark
complexioned horse that draws the
candy wagon?" asked Kitty pleasant
ly.
mo, what kind Of hat is she wear
ing this summer" asked Rosie.
THE same one she wore last year. A
great big hat with black velvet bows
and bunch Of violets on it."
"That old thing?" exclaimed Rosie.
"She looked perfectly ridiculous in it
last year don't think it at all suit
able for business, do you?"
mo, indeed" said Kitty. II wish,
though, that we horses didn't have to
go to business. We'd be much happier
if we could all be one of a pair, and
just draw carriage for pleasure"
Carriages and pairs are all going
OUT grumbled Bessie Bay-horse sour
ly. Its those old automobiles. They
shove us out of all the pleasant places
in life, but / notice, when it comes to
the pinch, we have to help them out.
And there's not one of them strong
enough to drag a load of railroad
sleepers, or any other load that's any
ways heavy. They can supplant us if
they want to, the time will come when
we horses will strike, and only take
the easy positions, and then see how
they'll managed"

Good Little Girl.

The story is told Of a little girl in
England who, when rain water was
scarce, saved up as much of it as she
could and then sold it for a cent a
bucket, says the Detroit Free Press.
In this way she earned nearly SIS,
which she brought to the missionary
society. She was a modest little girl,
and when the secretary of the mis-
sionary society asked for her name
she hesitated and failed to answer.
But I must put down where the
money came from" said the secre-
tary. Call it rain from heaven re-
piled the little girl.

Their mother dived and disap-

shining eyes were watching her proud

but she did not come. They did not
know that she had risen, and that her
head was hidden round the other side
of the float. They watched first mer-
rily, then anxiously. The mother was
swimming way out toward the sail
boat and they were not looking in the
right direction.
Suddenly Jean gave a piercing

When Children Should Go Barefoo

ga Virginia Mother" would know
whether ''the southern custom of
children running barefoot from the list
of May until the 1st of October is
conducive to health or the contrary"
She adds; "You may not know that
boys belonging to the best families
do this
I do know how prevalent in the
southland is practice, which at the
north is confined almost exclusively
to the poorer classes. A southern
physician maintains that for boy to
run barefooted for several months is
more Clearly and more healthful than
for him to wear shoes and stockings.
More cleanly, because stockings and
shoes confine perspiration. which is
the natural outflow of impure humors,
and force the system to absorb effete
matter, not to mention the fact that
the average lad is more likely to wash
his feet by wading through pool and
brook than by bathing at home.
This same average boy, says our
doctor, if he wear shoes and stock
ings, has wet feet during most of the
day. He soal;s them in dew, he
tramps ankle deep through marshes,
he fords streams, and stands, with
never a conjunction, over his boot
