III. Jardecke, of Ishpeming was on
the ranges few days last week and
in conversation with a reporter said
a number of the small mines of this
locality have been cut down, but that
the business houses were as busy as
ever. He said that the greater num-
Der of the miners let out had been
placed at other mines. Hesaid further
that THE general feeling in Ishpem-
ing is most cheerful one. We re-
alize that the demand for ore is some
thing immense and that the consumer
must get the raw product from the
Lake Superior district. Some Of the
greatest iron mines in the world are
located at Ishpeming and l expect to
see them in operation for great
number of years. dou't look for any
hard times in the iron districts and l
fully believe that the unsettled feeling
which now prevails in certain parts
Of the country will soon clear away
and business will move on once more
as briskly as ever"

MINING MATTERS.
Items Relating to the Mining In-
dustry Picked, Gathered or Stolen

1t is now recognized at Two Har-
bors that Duluth will head the list of
ore shipping ports on the great lakes
for the season of 1903. Escanaba
some years ago held this distinction
and then it fell to Two Harbors. Now
Duluth is scheduled to enjoy this pro-
minence for the first time in its his
tory. 1t is estimated that the ore
shipments from Duluth this season
will be about 10000 tons in excess of
Two Harbors and lie latter will drop
to second place in the list. Ofcourse,
the people of Two Harbors are sorry
to see their town dropto second place,
but since some other roint is to head
the list they prefer that 1T should be
Duluth.

1t may be interesting to know that
it was not until 1850 that the black
diamonds used in drillwork were dis
covered and it was not until 1856 that
they were put to any practical use.
They were first employed in saving
stone. Cartoons were set in a steel
band for that purpose. The carbons
were also used for turning emery
wheels. 1t was not until 1858 that
the carbons were used in a diamond
drill. Then they sold for about 81 IA
karat and there was little demand for
them. Now they are selling at $50 a
karat and hard to get. Tue average
output of the carbons is about $500
karats month. The largest carbon
ever found weighed 3,078 karats and
was sold in Paris by Jacques Baszan-
ger & Co., for $32, 500. The stone at
prevailing prices W, uld be worth
about $1S0.000. The great carbon was
broken up and sold in small pieces.
The next largest carbon weighed 577
karats and was sold by the same firm,
after breaking it up, to Cole & Nc
Donald and the Minnesota Iron COM
pany of Duluth, and the Sullivan
Machinery company. of Chicago"

The Highland range still seems to
be attractive to the Northern Pacific
people and they continue drilling
there It is understood that they in
tend working their drills all winter
and their diamond drill is now opera
ting day and night with double shifts
of men. The work, of exploration is
thorough. A visitor at the property
recently observed seventeen places
marked for drill operations. The
Northern Pacific churn drill recently
encountered much water at depth
of seventy-two feet. 1t is not known
what the plans Of tile Mcleod Iron
company are regarding further ex-
plorations, BUTT is reported they will
resume work the coming winter.
Reports from the Highland range are
that IA great deal of testpitting is be-
ing done. There is no report of any
promising finds. however.

William Mclaughlin of Cleveland,
u member OF the firm of Pickands.
Mather & Co., one eff the best known
men in the iron trade, stated IN an
interview at Detroit: 81 am pessi-
mistic generally, but l believe that
the worst is over. We have in my
opinion, seen the bluest time in indus
trial matters. However, Ispeak more
especially Of the iron trade. From
now on l look for better prices and
more activity. We are getting down
to a normal basis. We have been 60
ing at a terrific pace. There is no pig
iron being imported now, and l bell
eve that foreign markets will now be
cultivated to greater extent than for
some time past. There is an 0ppor-
tnnity now to get rid of our surplus
production abroad. and l think the
United States Steel corporation will
take advantage of it. 1t is large and
powerful enough to place prices where
it can be made an object for foreign
ers TO import our iron and steel pro-
ducts. l have been anticipating this
decline in the price of pig iron. and l
believe it has been discounted. The
country is prosperous and do not
look for any collapse of industrial
activity"

BLAIR IS HURT.
Former Worlds Fair Counsel
Fell Down Flight of Steps.


st. Louis, Oct. 26.-James L. Blair. a
worlds fair, who recently resigned as
general counsel for the fair while stand
ing on the veranda of his home near
Kirkwood, west of the city, collapsed and
Tell backward down a flight of six stone
steps. He was picked up unconscious and
carried into the house. Physicians worked
with him for two hours before he was re-
stored to consciousness. No word was
given out as to how badly he was injured
but it is believed his injury is not danger
Gus. Several days ago Mr.. Blair fell from
ankles. He has been in an overwrought
nervous state for some time owing to ru-
morS that had been circulated concerning
his name with the alleged mismanagement
of an estate for which he was trustee
Several days ago a story was published
here which, while it contained no names,
led Mr.. Blair to believe that it was aimed
at him, and he was conveyed in q private
street car from his sick bed to the cir
cation. He threatened to sue for libel, but
finally decided to await the grand jury
investigation before instituting suit. ]. 7.
Roberts, formerly employed in Mr.. Blairs
law office. was summoned before the
grand jury Friday and was closeted
most of the day. He had beforehand pre-
pared a statement of what he said he
would tell the grand jury and this was
printed yesterday.
In the statement Mr.. Roberts charged
fragrant betrayal of financial confidence
imposed in Mr.. Blair and accused him of
forgery. He declared that he had gained
the information by looking through some
papers in Mr.. aBlair'S safe while he was
a clerk in the office.
