THE ORE MARKET

Sales Of Lake Superior ore for the
coming year began this week, and
on Monday quotations were generally
made to consumers. Prices are gener-
ally on the basis heretofore indicated,
an old range Bessemer ore running 63
per cent in iron 054 per cent in phos-
phorus and 10 per cent in moisture
selling for 50 80, and Mesabi ore Of
like analysis and OF high physical
quality. for 81. Non Besseiner ores
from the old ranges are held at figures
from 80 g. 35 cents above last year 3
an ore show ing go in iron and " per
cent in moisture bringing 80 go. while
a corresponding Mesabi ore sells for
SO. 20 What effect the narrowing of
the differential that has long existed
between old-range and Mesabi ores will
have upon the sale of the latter remains
10 be seen. Recent sieve tests go to
show that the common characterization
of Mesabi ores as fine and dusty has
been quite too indiscriminate. There
is vastly more good lumpy ore on that
range than has been generally credited
The use Of the large percentages Of
these ores in the furnaces of the
Central West has probably not been
any more dine to the devising of better
means Of handling them in the furnace
than TO the fact that furnacemen have
taken more pains than the ore trade TO
discover the physical qualities Of many
of these ores and nave found that
many OF them were quite as easily
handled In the Furnaces ms, for example
some of the well known soft ores OF the
Gogebic range
II is too early to say much about the
ore market for 1903. Some sale have
been made. but they have been largely
the expected sales, those made to buy
ers who knew months ago that they
would take in the main the ores they
had last year. The wait in the pig
iron market may cause some holding
back on ore Lake freights are still
unsettled. but there is general leaning
to an s5-cent basis The ideas of ship
ers are perhaps indicated by the al
lowance Of go, 20 and 80 cents from
Escanaba. Marquette and Duluth re-
spectively made in the case Of buyers
who choose To- contract for their ore
at upper lake ports and make their own
shipping arrangements Last year,
when these allowances were the same
as above, the ore buyer who made his
own vessel contracts saved something
from the allowance. The reverse may
be true this year. The outlook is for
no better dispatch than in 1902, and
the longer season now looked for will
no more than take care of the expected
increase in the movement. Docks are
so full of ore that in some cases it will
be necessary to take practically all the
new ore forward direct. Some relief
might be secured if there should be a
heavy shipment from the docks to
furnace yards in the weeks before
navigation opens.

thus proving at once the length OF the
deposit and the depth.
The ore was cut in this last hole

the hrst hole, was cut. The option on

WERE WITH PLUMB.
EmpOria Veterans at Prairie
Grove to Hold Reunion.

Emporia, Kan, Dec. 2-The Repub-
lican says:
On Monday next, the remnant of the
old boys who enlisted with Preston 3.
Plumb, from Emporia, and saw service
for three years in defense of the union,
will gather around the festive board in
annual reunion, and in commemora-
ton of the baptism of fire received by
the regiment at the battle of Prairie
Grove.
The banquet will be at the Whitley,
where the colonel will do his best to
please his comrades.
At the banquet, the most prominent
thing noticeable will be the old regi-
mental flag, which was carried by Com
pany during all the time the regi-
ment served as infantry This old flag
has history very dear to the sur
vivors of the pioneers of Emporia. 1t
was made by the fair hands of En-
poriaS best young ladies, some of whom
are with us yet. Mrs. 1. E. Perley and
Mrs. Jacob Stotler were the two ladies
who raised the money for the flag staff,
pike, etc, and the contributions were
all small. Every woman on the town
site wanted to give her mite.
The largest amount by any one per-
son was so cents. Some of the ladies
/ who assisted in making the flag, who
are yet with US are: Mesdames l. E.
Perley, Jacob Stotler, N. S. Storrs,
Edward Borton, P. G. Halberg, A. T.
Morse, Mary Jane Watson Sharp, Jane
Bancroft. ]. A. Moore. Joseph Ran
dolph and Mrs. G. w. Newman, then a
young girl, Nellie Storrs.
Not a little trouble was encountered
/ and overcome before the flag was made.
One of the stumbling blocks which for
a while seemed to block the ladies in
their work of love was the fact that
not a suitable piece of blue cloth was
to be had in any of the stores out of
which to make the field in which to
place the stars. In this dilemma Mrs.
Borton bethouSht her of a new dress
pattern she had Just had sent to her,
which on examination was found to be
just the shade and material wanted
Without a thought of whether the
whole dress pattern would be destroy
ed or not scissors were at once put
into the beautiful new dress, and the
necessary field procured, and the BAN
ner finished, by the time the boys re-
ceived marching orders. The presenta-
ton took place on the corner of Sixth
avenue and Commercial street, just in
front of where the State bank is now
located Miss Fannie Weakly, now Mrs.
DR.. Young of San Diego, Cal, made
| the presentation.

give recipe for chocolate souff1e?
CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE.
Put two level tablespoonfuls of butter
in a saucepan and melt; stir in four
level tablespoonfuls of sifted flour and
stir until it bubbles, then stir in half a
cup of milk; stir and cook until smooth
and creamy; then take from the fire
and turn over the yolks of three eggs
beaten Very light with half a cup of
sugar. Beat thoroughly then add three
ounces of melted unsweetened chocolate,
stir over the fire a minute then set
aside to cool, covering closely to prevent
the surface hardening. When ready to
place in the oven, whip until very stiff
and white and fold in lightly.
Butter a souffle dish thoroughly and

see much if not all of this done.
The great flood in the Kansas valley
in the year 1874 has always been re-
garded as something of a myth. There
were but few witnesses, army officers
and missionaries. there was no property
to destroy, and no wrecks covering the
land, and the Indians generally were
regarded as romancers. The only WISH
BILE evidence left for the early white
settlers was the debris high up in the
forks of trees. So improbable seemed
the story of the flood of IA that resi-
dents along the valley generally would
not believe possible what actually oc-

The year 1904 promises to be one of
great inspiration, a renewal of local
and state pride. Every man or woman
who has spent his or her life during
the past 40 or so years in Kansas has a
right to be unSpeakably proud OF their
citizenship or achievements. This
should manifest itself in every school

year. There has been no general effort
in the way of historical collection silce
