That is the Predicted Iron
Ore Output for Next Year
Crystal Falls to Have
A Very Busy Sea son.

The Diamond Drill reporter las had
an opportunity to sound two well
known mining superintendants curing
the past week on the prospects for the
coming season
The nrst one interviewed was well
known general superintendent Of a
Gogeoic miuing concern, one Of the
independant operators, and to him We
put the nruery, What are the prospects
for the coming yearl
Promptly came the reply 2o, OOO 600
tons According to all the data
have at hand and from all that our
people can find out OF the future III iron
minging he continued, the year
1903 will see %, 600, 600 tons of ore
taken from the Lake Superior district
Our people are looking forward To a
far buster summer next summer than
has been the case during the season Just
drawing to close and we had all
that we could possibly do then. The
ending Of the war in South Africa is
going to have great effect upon bus
mess next year, not alone in the de-
niand that is created thereby tor the
different manufactured products, but
in the reinforcement that the resulnp-
ton of mining operations at the mines
Of that country Is going TO give the
money markets of the world. We have
orders to make preparations for getting
out every pound Of orc that our mine
will produce next year aud stockpiles
will be larger this winter, not alone
at our properties but at every property
on the Gogebic range, than they have
been for some time. / am speaking
now OF the independant operators.
What the Steel people will do | am not
prepared to say
The other mining man that we
interviewed was W. J. Richards.
general superintendent of the Cor
rigan, Mckinney mines in Michigan.
What are the prospects In Crystal
Falls for next year, Captain we
asked. From the orders that | have
received was the reply you are
going to see bigger output from the
CRYSTAL Falls district than ever in her
history. Ny orders are to make pre-
perations for bigger stockpiles this
winter than ever and we are working
on the grounds now We have been
hampered for the past two years
because Of the great amount Of shaft
sinking that we were compelled to do
but we're on top of the task now and
in shape to get ont ore. of conditions
in the general market, Of course, ]
am not in position TO Judge Whether
or no the tightness ia the money market
is going 10 have It's effect, cannot
say from personal knowledge. leave
all that to our people in Cleveland who
are In touch with the business world
in its larger sense and are able 10 dis
count the future from the signs OF the
present. Their judgement is reflected
In their trders TO me and IL is upon
those orders that base my prediction
that the year 1908 will be bigger one
in point Of output and better one IN y
commercial sense 10 Crystal Falls than
any year in its history.

THE BEAN CROP,

A Decline of Production Has Caused

] From an interesting and suggestive
! review by the government division OF
statistics of the United States bean
| crop II Is learned that with reference ia
weight the commercial bean crop of the
/ United States is more nearly compare.
/ bic to that Of rice than to any other
the rice crop just harvested will prove
to be the record crop of this country,
and commercial authorities estimate IL
as high as 30O,O0O,O00 pounds. The
bean crop is somewhat more important;
for, excluding the important producing
| state Of New York, for which no recent
statistics are available, the production
Of beans In the principal producing
states in 1886, the record year for
that crop, was also about 300, 900, 600
pounds Moreover, the average annual
| production Of beans, exclusive OF New
York, for the five calendar years 1895
to 1899 inclusive, has been about 1885,

average production Of rice for the same
period by about S5,0GO000 pounds As
IN the case Of rice, also the production
of beans is insufficient for the country's
needs. Exec qting for a short period In
the past decade imports of beans and
peas have exceeded the exports by
quantities ranging from 100000 to 80.
600, pounds annually.
Beans in great variety are produced
in small way in gardens and truck
patches and for consumption in both
the green and dried state in nearly If
not all the states of the Union, but the
common dried beans Of commerce. to
which the above statistics refer exclu-
sively, are the product, as is the rice
crop, of comparatively small number
of states. AS Is well known, the impor
tance of dried beans as an article of
food in this country dates from the civ
II war.
The adoption Of this vegetable by the
United States government as a part of
the army ration created for it an ex-
tensive demand, and upon the disband-
ment Of the forces the use of this ac-
custOmed article of diet naturally be-
came popularized throughout the coun-
try. Production on large scale, how
ever became localized In a. few states,
and at present Michigan, New York,
California and Wisconsin may be re
garded, from a commercial point of
view at least, as the only important
producing states. Recent statistics Of
production, however, are also available
for the comparatively unimportant pro-
ducers, Minnesota and Illinois.
The production of beans reached It's
maximum in each of the four states
given during the period from 1895 to
1897, and since 1897 production in each
state has steadily declined. The In
crease in production during this peri
cd resulted in an excess in 1897, for the
first time in the history Of this trade,
Of exports over imports, but the subse-
quent decrease in production has again
turned the tide, and imports for the
past two years have been in excess.

ter me these men IS a little unreason-
! able. Yer see,' he went on as neither
Bruder nor his wife spoke, times have
been pretty hard around here, with
crops failin' and n good deal of sick
/ ness in the neighborhood and | think
these men ought to been glad to get
steady employment. OF course they're
really in the power Of the company,
! cos they amt got no money, and the
officers knows It, and so they cuts
down their wages. Now, some of 'em
finds out that the big fellers Is maxim
dead loads of money, and SO they
makes a big kick and goes on strike
So the company jest shuts down, and
heard the superintendent say as that
they was goin to start a process Of
starvation. OF course l don't want
that to go no further"
did the company treat the men
fair?" asked Mrs Bruder.
"Of course it did" said Smith quick
ly. 'Ain't they got a right TO pay their
money out any way they like? Couldn't
these men pick up and leave If they
didn't like it?"
Most of these men has their own
homes, hasn't they?' asked Mrs Bru-
der
"Yes, they has" said Smith, "but if
they keeps on this way they won't
have NO one left in their homes" Then
he added as he walked toward the of
fee: "Ye'd better come in and sit
down. Harris team may not be here
for an hour yet. They generally comes
ter meet the down train. Big Four is
waitin' here fer it ter pass"
He adroitly halted the couple in
front of the open door of the freight
room, and instantly the maternal eye
of Mrs. Bruder caught the little coffin.
"Whose is that?" she asked
That's Cy Selden's baby" said
Smith, lying heroically.
Mrs. Bruder looked at her husband,
then back to Smith. what allied itf"
she asked. Cholera mOrbus?"
Smith drew closer and lowered his
voice a bit That's what they give
out" he said, but between you and
me it didn't have enough ter eat"
Just then Smith found sudden busi-
ness in the ticket office, where he re-
mained until he heard the booming Of
the down train, when he went out on
to the platform to pass up the mails.
He fingered for a moment and watch
ed big Four" pull out from the sid
ing; then he looked all around. There
was no one in sight.
How'd yer do it, Bill?' asked Jack
Lundy that night while a half dozen
strikers smoked and listened.
81 didn't do nothin', and l don't
know nothin'," snapped Smith. "They
come, and they've gone, amt they?"
And then to modify therebuke the good
soul continued in tone that smacked
suspiciously of tenderness as he puffed
his pipe re1ectiyely in the darkness:
Strange; | used to know those folks
years ago-didn't know it till terday-
they was a good deal younger then
Just married, | guess-they were pret-
ty poor-had a little baby that died-I
don't know. but folks aroun' there said

The report that Lord Roberts Is to
be superseded by the Duke of Con-
naught, brother Of King Edward, as
commander In chief indicates another
"shakeup" in the British army. The
Duke OF Cambridge, the late queens
cousin, was commander in chief fer q
long while He gave way to Lord
Wolseley. Queen Victoria always In
sisted that a member OF the royal fam
lily should be commander in chief be-
cause his rank made intrigues or rival
ries against him impossible and him
self superior to them. Wolseley found
and Roberts has found that opposition
and detraction have way or sway when
royal parsonage Is not at the head OF
the forces. The rule In all monarchies
In Europe is that royalty must head
the forces, not because II is capable or
incapable, but because It Ia royalty.
1t just happens that the Duke OF
Connaught is admittedly brave, able
and accomplished man. The weight OF
his royal initiative can quite as likely
accomplish needed army reforms as
retard them. Wolseley was and Rob-
erts has been unable or unwilling to
accomplish them. Perhaps the duke
will do better.

When a certain divine was a younger
man and chaplain at the University
Of Pennsylvania, like other ministers
who filed that position he was much
troubled over the apparent lack of at
tention from the students during the
morning exercises in the chapel.
The exercises hardly ever continued
for more than fifteen minutes. Some
of the students were in the habit OF
taking their books into the chapel and
studying there during the services to
make up for their tardiness of the
night before in not preparing their les
sons.
The young chaplain was desirous Of
breaking up the habit, so one morning
preceding his customary five minutes
address he spoke as follows:
Young gentlemen, last night
dreamed | was here In the chapel ad-
dressing you. And as l spoke | saw
every eye fixed upon me, every man
attentive, while in all the chapel there
was not a book opened, and then |
knew it was u dream"

BREEDING UP ALFALFA.
Better Varieties to Be Obtained by
Selection and other Means.

Better Varieties to BE Obtained by
Selection and Other Means.
Most farmers and even alfalfa grow
ers, If asked whether there is more
than one kind of alfalfa, would say,
mo; it seems to be all alike" A Cali
fornia grower, however, takes differ
ent view, believing that ii is possible to
breed up a better variety. His theory,
expressed in Orange Judd Farmer, Is:
Where there Is a thick stand the
stalks are all forced upright and min
gle together, so that the characteris-
ties of each cannot be seen, but If you
will carefully examine field where the
plants are very thinly set and therefore
have an opportunity to show the diff
ferences in their nature by their style
OF growth you will see that they nre
very far from being all alike. Some will
be lying so fat on the ground that IL
would be impossible to cut them with q
mower, while others grow so upright
that they look as If they had been tied
TO stake. Then, again, the leaves on
some plants are small and narrow,
WlllIb IuUSt III OlIiCIS dlc anu
round, and since the leaves are the best
part of the plant this is Of very great
Importance If you will look at such
field a week or two after cutting, you
will see that some plants are only just
beginning to grow, while others have
already attained height of six or eight
inches.
In the blossoms similar variations oc
cur. On some plants they are almost
white, while on others they are Of a
deep purple. Now, contend that where
nature has already made so many vari-
ations man, by careful selection and
other means, may make even greater
and more important ones. This Is a
work which cannot be done by the
farmer, as he has neither the time, skill
nor the appliances to accomplish 1t, but
the experiment stations have all the ia
cilities, and l hope 1t will not be long
before some station will take hold Of
the matter and succeed in giving us
better variety Of alfalfa than we are at
present cultivatlng. II only 100 or 200
pounds Of hay per acre at each cutting
could be added to the crop by such Inn
proyement, 1t would add millions of dol
lars annually to the income of alfalfa
growers.

Many theories have been advanced
TO account for softness In pork. Some
have ascribed 1t to the character Of the
food, others TO undue forcing Of the

killing while still immature, to the
breed of the pig, to the locality in
which II Is grown, and even the phase

Shut Of the central experimental
farm of Canada has made a study Of
the character and causes OF soft pork
Mr.. Shut finds that softness slight re
sistance to pressure) Is nearly always
accompanied by oiliness. and he draws
the following conclusions from a series
Of experiments in feeding:
That the one great controlling factor
in the quality Of the pork Of finished
pigs lies In the character Of the food
employed.
That Indian corn and beans tend to
softness-i. e., to increase the percent
