BLOOD HISTORY

Born in bone marrow-di in the

us all alive. Blood history makes a

where its influence is greatest.

use Of a low curving French bed instead
of a brass one. A slender mahogany

The Mesaba has this year shown large
tonnage OF new ores, not so much per
haps as the year before, when several
score million tons were shown in a single
square mile but still far more than has
been shipped Most Of these explorations
are incomplete, many of them show a

Fields for the Future.
| There are supposed to be immense GUAM
titles of iron ore In Minnesota aside from
the properties along the Mesaba and Yer
million ranges and some work has been
done in the northeastern part Of the state
during the year. But these ores, while
it may be found that they exist in guam
tity, so far as known, are of a character
that will not be marketable until the
price of hematite is very much higher
than now.
Active and more or less careful explora-
lions have been going on over a vast ex-
! tent of territory north Of Lake Superior
in Algona during the year. It is prob
able that some finds have been made that
may prove Of much value. The most
promising of these at the present time are
| those near Steep Rock lake. on the upper
Seine river, almost due north of the YER
million range. Several exploring syndi-
Gates are now at work there and will be
in the field all winter.

stained and shellaced, and your rugs are
in soft harmonious tones, you can use
any side wall that you fancy, and the COL
ors will not clash A popularity of an
oriental rug is that wherever it may be
laid the color of its surroundings decides
it's dominant color In other words, the
blue shows off most prominently if the
blue draperies If your rugs have any Of
the lively old rose or faded pink seen in
Turkish rugs, running through them, you
will find when they are used in conjunc-
ton with pink walls that this color comes
to the surface. This is the secret of the
universal success of these rugs as mediums
for bringing colors together. Having
many colors in soft gradations, they adapt
themselves to any scheme.
And now for your walls and woodwork
I would advise you to use side walls and
window draperies of paper and French
chintz or cretonne, of the de-
sign of pink roses and delicate
green foliage on an ivory and
white ground. The wood finish should be
enameled in ivory white and the doors
should have hinges and oval knobs of old
brass The picture mold, set eighteen
inches below the ceiling, should also have
a white enamel finish. A slender line of
molding is in much better taste than an
ostentatious one. The ceiling and top Of
side wall down to picture molding, should
be calcimined in delicate shade of pink.
This color should correspond exactly
with some shade used in paper and will
emphasize the softest and most beautiful
tone in the roses.

light in it, drape your windows in this

ried on with the amplest experience and
capital, the most thorough skill that can
be brought to bear, are not resulting very
successfully. There have been some adj
ditions to the ore limits of the Menominee
range, which still presents favorable field
for exploration, and the conditions of ore
deposition on the Gogebic are better
known, by means Of which knowledge the
formation can be more completely and
thoroughly tested than before, but the
Marquette and Vermilion ranges have re-
Warded explorers in most unsatisfactory
manner, and not at all in proportion to
the money spent. All the year some COM
panies have maintained explorations on
the Vermilion range and the general
opinion now is that it is a region where
little can be expected and where the cost
of that little will be enormous.

That the mines are able to supply the
demand whatever it may be, goes with

siderable stockpiles Of ore at mines when

month and hosting is under way at a

BY far the most important development
of the year ON the Canadian side the lake
has been the work Of the Clergus syndi-
cate OF the Michipicoten range, north
east of the lake. The ore bearing forma-
tion is said to have been traced for some
fifty to sixty miles, and several prop
critics of promise have been somewhat
examined. The explcrati on the
Helen ore body, first to be opened, have
continued, and, it is stated, have shown
ore amounting to 3O,000,OOO tons
The larger American steel companies
are interested in developments on the
Canadian side the line, and many thou
sand acres have been taken by American
mining companies, bankers, SPECTATORS
and the like.
Faynl and Mountain Iron.
There have been but two mines in the
lake region that have made an output ex-
ceeding 100000 tons the year just passed
Fayal and Mountain Iron, both Of the
Mesaba range. Fayal has far surpassed
every record ever made, with an output OF
1857 900 tons, and Mountain Iron has
beaten it's own figures by forwarding L..

The Heavy Shippers.
The United States Steel Corporation has
sent from all it's scores of mines on ali
American ranges the great quantity Of II,
100000 gross tons of ore, with no other
| single concern within 10 per cent of that
figure. Cleveland Cliffs company shipped
l,l4S,OOO tons, and Corrigan Mckinney E
Co., about 100000 tons. Both these
concerns will make very large shipments
during the coming year, for bot h have
sold largo amounts Of ore ahead.
Iron and Steel Making.
The manufacture of iron and steel in
the lake region bids fair to grow more
rapidly Several important projects are
under consideration, and some have
| reached the point where they are well
along toward contamination. At the Sauh
the Clergue syndicate is completing q
