WORTHLESS ORE GETS VALUE
st. Paul Man Invents New Smelling
Process for Refractory
Work.

ST. PAUL, April 20.-An experiment that
may revolutionize the iron and steel in
dustry of the country was successfully made
this afternoon at the plant of the Valley
Iron works in this city.
Iron ore, Of which there is billions Of
tons in north Minnesota, was smelted in
an ordinary cupola and turned out pig iron
which polished up like steel and which,
according to those interested in the ex-
pertinent. is better than the finest Besse-
mer steel.
While the hard and soft iron ore mines
of st. Louis county have been turlSlng
out miIlisns of tons annually for years,
farther north there are gigantic beds of
iron which, because of the price Of titanium,
making 1t refractory, have received but lit
tie attention.
Frank johnson of st. Paul claims to have
discovered a process by which IL can be
profitably used and in the presence of
delegation OF Duluth men interested in min
ing he today conducted a successful demon
stTation OF his discovery. prominent
chemist and assayer who was present
stated that in his opinion this ore could
now be smelted as cheaply as hematite.
Aside from solving the question OF how
to smelt this refractory ore II is stated
that It produces steel better than Besse-
mer because with one-third the weight, the
same tensile strength ia secured. The su-
perior quality Of the product is ascribed
to the presence in the ore of Vanadium and
chrome, ingredients that are said to give
it extraordinary strength and toughness.
Propositions for the construction Of large
smelling works at Duluth have been hing
ing on the result of this test and It is
expected now that success has been at
tained, that these projects will be rapidly
pushed.

D. W. HITCHCOCK TO RETIRE
Veteran Western Agent of Union
Pacific Goes ON the PEN
sion Roll.

An important change in the passenger de-
partment affairs of the Union Pacific will
be made May is, which will serve to call
attention to the pension system recently
adopted by the Hartman lines. Daniel W.
Hitchcock retirss as general western agent
at San Francisco and will be succeeded on
that date by S. F. Booth. Mr.. Hitchcock's
retirement is upon his own application. He
Is one Of the Oldest employees in the service
OF the company, having passed his three
score and ten milepost. Since 1883 he has
held the position from which he now re-
tires and has been a positive factor in his
line Of railroading on the Pacific coast
His position Is one of great Importance.
Daniel Webster Hitchcock was born Oc-
tober 81. 1881, at Granville, Washington
county, N. Y. He entered railroad service
in 1854 and has been continuously engaged
in the business ever since. lie started at
the bottom. From 1854 to 1856 he was a
brakeman on the Cleveland Columbus &
Cincinnati railroad in 1856 was foreman of
gravelpit; from 1858 to 1851 was foreman
of construction on the Mississippi & Mis-
souri, railroad; from 1861 to 1869 was pas
senger agent of the Hannibal & st. Joseph
and st. Joseph, Council Bluffs & Kansas
CITY from 1865 10 1881 was IN the passenger
service OF the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy; from 1881 to October, 1887, general
western passenger agent for the Union Pa
cifc; from October. 1887, to the time OF re-
tirement, May Is, 1908, general agent of
the Union Pacific at San Francisco.
Prior to entering Mr.. Stubbs' ONCE, Mr..
Booth was division freight and passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific at Fresno,
Cal. and has held other responsible posi-
tions in the trafic department OF that COM
pany. Mr., Booth is said to be a man of
marked ability and pleasing personality and
has a wide experience and acquaintance in
California. which is counted on as render
ing him especially we'll adapted to his new
position.
This change is one that creates a great
deal of interest in the passenger depart
ments of the west, not only on the Union
Pacific, but all the roads, owing to the wide
acquaintance Of Mr. Hitchcock. Yet 1t is
not unexpected. When the pension system
was first published early last winter The
Bee named Mr.. Hitchcock as one Of the
veterans who would soon retire under it.
