Wool There has continued a good,
general demand during the week, and
there Is every prospect that it will be
steady at least for some time to come.
The mills are busy turning out goods and
have eaten into their supplies of raw ma
terial making it necessary for them to
buy i'll order to keep running. There is
not particle of excitement, however, in
the situation The cleaning up movement
of Australian is continued and further
large transactions are reported, the Vans
kuck Mills having bought literally There
has also been considerable doing in South
American crossbreds. In domestic washed
tleeces quite a good business has been
done and territory has been selling with
fair freedom. There has not been any
very large individual transactions, how
ever, in any description of domestic, and
the American Wooden Company has not
made its presence felt in this way. Still
the members of the trade are much more
cheerful than they were during the first
part of the year, as the fact that they are
able to sell wool is considered an encour-
aging feature.

Relates an Experience which, He Says
Taught Him n Valuable Lesson.

81 have had an experience which
taught me a valuble lesson,' said the
Hon. Thomas f. Madden, former
mayor of ST. Ignace, Mich, to a re-
porter the other day.

suggestion came to me. For twenty
years | had been a sufferer from indi-
gestion. 1t tortured me. l could not
eat a hearty meal and even the light
est food distressed me. l doctored
with possibly eight different physi-
clans but grew worse all the time.
"This chronic indigestion brought
on a whole train of other troubles. l
became nervous, suffered from violent
headaches and biliousness, and | think
| would have given every cent pos
sessed to find relief. But l became
more miserable and finally in despair
| determined to take a southern trip.

of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and the argument struck me
forcibly that medicine which made
good blood must be a cure for stomach
trouble AS soon as we landed l pur-
chased box of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and they gave me almost instan-
taneous relief. If it had not been for
them think l should have starved
to death. / grew constantly better
and in short time | was cured.
1t is now over a year since these
pills cured me- My stomach is sound
and my digestion perfect. l can eat
heartily of the richest food, my nerves
are quiet my blood good and feel
well and strong. l have been made
well man by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People"

Spring Fever.

Spring fever is another name for
biliousness 1t is more serious than
most people think. A torpid liver and
inactive bowels mean poisoned sys-

bowels and cleansing the system OF
impurities, Safe pills Never grippe.

MORE DOCK ROOM.

The contract for building the new
c. a. N. w. ore dock here has Leen let
Contractor NJ j. Peppard of Min
neapolis. Mr. Peppard is now busily
engaged in getting things in readiness
TO begin work. The timber for the
big structure is being delivered and car
loads of it are arriving daily. The
dock will be one of the largest and
best of its kind on the lakes. 1t is in
tended to have it finished at the latest
by the time navigation opens next year,
and until then a large force of men
will be employed in the work.
Few people who have never seen an
ore dock built have any idea what an
immense task it is With a capacity
for holding So 600 tons Of ore an ore
dock requires most substantial found
alton. Myriads of long heavy piles are
first driven in rows at right angles TO
the dock and at equal distances apart
These rows are about six feet apart
and the work of driving them is task
of no small magnitude. Then comes
the work of saving off the piling and
putting into place the huge timbers
upon which the "bents or upright
timbers that support the large ore
pockets. are to rest Powerful engines
and derricks are employed ia this
work and it is surprising how rapidly
IL is done.
In addition TO the work Of building
the dock il is necessary to dredge out
channels for the big ore boats, and
in the present instance the dredges
will have to remove about 300, Geo cubic
yards Of earth II is big task tc

AT THE CEMETERY.

The improvements already done in the
cemetery have made great changes in
the looks Of things over there. The
cemetery board under the direction OF
Mr.. Hasselstrom, has gone at the work
in an earnest, business like manner
that stamps their efforts as successful.
They have new fence on the way and
10 will be up around the lot in short
time. The fence is of heavy wire, the
heaviest that they could get The
fence will be put up with cedar posts.
Within the lot survey has been made
of the grounds and it is all laid out
into lots and blocks with walks be-
tween eacn. Any person wishing
burial space in the cemetery hereafter
must purchase lot from the city. A
lot is large enough 20 accommodate
six graves. The board would
like to plat the grounds with drives
and walks; in similar park like
manner to that in which all well laid
out cemeteries are arranged now days
but they found that to be an imposs
Utility because of the heterogeneous
manner in which the residents had
been allowed Go scatter their graves
around. The board has arranged for
two walks and drives through the lot
but when they add the other five acres
which they intend to do as soon as
conditions warrant, the first thing
that they shall do is to arrange for the
drives and walks and then plat ont
the lots and blocks.
Another improvement that they are al
work on is the sinking of "A well tC

and other plants that the public may
place or plant within the grounds.

it at depth Of 80 feet and abandoned

FROM THE MINES
THE LAMONT.

Work at this property is being con-
centrated on the shaft-honse which
now towers its head 10 feet above the
level of the surface over there and
constitutes one of the chief centers
Of land marks Of the old Monitor pro-
perty. The shaft-house is similar
in pattern to the one that is in process
of erection at the Great Western and
which we described in our last issue.
The timber is all Washington fir Of
the very best quality and the timber
is the first of its kind that has gone
into the CONSTRUCTION of any of the
surrounding shaft buildings
The operators hope to have the shaft
completed so that some ore may be
hoisted Immediately after the Fourth
of July.

siderable percentage in any furnace.
It's future place among the iron
ranges OF the Lake Superior region
was given a very low rank.
In consequence Of this "reminiscences
it Is amusing TO learn that tine Oliver
Snyder company is said 10 be using
100 per cent Of Mesaba ore in its turn
aces today, and no other ore whatever.
This company is said TO buy no hard
ore whatever TO mix with the Mesaba
for the purpose of charging its furnaces
aud getting a proper structural mix
ture. AS result, unless the reduction
of ore in this way entails additional
cost, the Snyder company is consider
able money ahead of those companies
that use a larger percentage of hard
ores, which cost two or three times a.
much to mine. In one way, the Oliver
Snyder is said to use all Mesaba ores
at greater cost because IL uses a hne-
ly selected lot Of ores in order to obtain
the proper mixture, structurally and
otherwise.
The proportion of Mesaba ore with
which furnaces are blown in has been
growing all over the country. The
Carnegie furnaces of the steel corpor'
alton are said TO use about 10 per cent
of Mesaba ore, and the rest hard hem
attic. At one time it was as low al
rs per cent. in some furnaces, and Al
first many of the furnaces gave up the
scheme as impossible. Experiment
soon developed changes in the furn
aces, however. that led TO a constantly
growing proportion Of Mesaba ores
1t is predicted by some that If thu
right proportion of the various struct
ures could be obtained in sufficiently
quantities on the Mesaba, it woul'
not be long, and may not be. befor
the old range mines were pretty wei
