Dor OF Ofoten, on the Norwegian coast
OF the Atlantic The latter harbor is
free from Ice the year around.
Along this road are enormous depos-
its OF excellent ore, One OF the peaks
is s17 feet high and II is all iron, There
are other deposits nearby mile In
length and from hundred TO hun
bred and eighty feet thick. In all there
are about 233000.O00 tons of ore now In
slght and come Of II Is very fine. The
iron mountains of Gellivare are also In
northern Sweden. Their mines are OF
great extent and the ore is rich.
A CHANCE FOR A TRUST.
There Is d good chance for a steel
t,ust here. Not q big one like the
United states Steel company, but lit
tie one OF million or so, which would
pay large dividends. | refer to getting
the ownership Of the Dannemora mines,
which produce the finest iron known to
man. These mines are now owned by
10 companies, working under an agree
mar. rot TO manufacture more than
1,Oi0 tons year. They make the iron
with charcoal, and ship II all over the
world IL; light bars. The ore Is so fine
that IL sells for 500 ton when other
iron Is worth only $50; ] am told the
Dannemora iron might bring twice as
much Just as well. I met man VINO
Is Interested In one of the companies.
AMI WHO wants a trust formed to con-
ttol the output Said he
I'VE have the only iron Of It's kind in
the world, and the kind that makes the
finest steel. The best cutlery establish
ments of England. Germany and United
States use It, and they would buy Il II
we charged double the price,"
This Is probably true. The Swedish
iron makes the best tools, the best
drawn wire and the best nails for rivet-
ing Thlrty-five years ago there was
| not horseshoe nail driven In the
United states that was not made of
Swedish iron. II can be bent, coiled
and twisted in a cold state without
breaking. Our minister to Sweden tells
OF Swedish steamship which. in fog
arm at full speed into an upright cliff.
The shock was such that the bow turn
ed around into a spiral, but not a plate
OF the iron was broken or cracked.
PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's SWED-
IsH RAzoRs.
This Dannemora iron is famous for
| making fine razors President McKin-
| ley shaved himself every morning with
| Dannemora steel, and | am told that
| President Roosevelt does the same. Our
| minister here keeps the White House
supplied with such razors. He does not
| send knives. for knives win cut friend
ship; but these razors he hopes will
cement the cordial relations between
him and the president. At any rate. he
| recently sent seven OF the finest To
| President Roosevelt. and the president
uses a different one every day, Each
blade Is marked with the day of the
week on one side OF the blade and with
Theodore Roosevelt's autograph on the
| other side.
These razors are made at Eskilstuna
the Sheffield of Sweden, 1t IL a little
manufacturing town on Lake Malar
not far from Stockholm. 1t has gun
factory, foundry and engine works, and
lis famous foe its fine steel inlald with
gold.
