Surprise Sprung In Hartman Suit at St Paul

Argument was begun at st.
Paul Tuesday in the suit of E. T..
Hartman ct al, against the
Northern Securities Company.
A surprise was sprung on the
petitioners by the reaSsg of an
objection to Intervention from
Attorney General Knox. The
plaintiffs counsel claimed that
the merger under the proposed
plan of distribution would be a
continued violation of the Sher-
man antitrust act. Mr.. Root,
attorney for the Securities Com

brought to put the Northern Pa
cific in control of the Union Pa
cific and Oregon Short Line,
which combination is a competi-

Wire Rope and Its Uses.

The history of wire rope has
had to be rewritten as the result
of the researches in Pompeii and
other ancient cities and instead
of being a 10th century invention
it has beetgfound to be one of
the oldest of mechanical applian-
ces. But although it was known
and used prior to the Christian
era, like many similar industrial
appliances its manifold applica.
tions are distinctly modern.
Very few, even among mining
men, we believe, fully realize the
magnitude of the wire rope in
dustry and the extent to which
modern mining practice is de-
pendent for its success on wire
ropes.
The most extensive use of wire
rope in mining is undoubtedly
for haulage purposes and it
would be Of great interest if we
could know the number Of miles
Of wire rope in use in the mines
of America alone, without even
considering the probably much
larger amount used in England
for the same purpose. This in
formation is, however, not avail
able and one or two instances
must serve as examples.
The conditions in the anthra-
cite region are not particularly
favorable to wire rope haulage
and it is usually considered that

News Of the Mines.

there is comparatively little of it
used here for this purpose, yet
one of the coal companies has
about 93 miles of wire rope in
use for all purposes. This repre-
sents 491. 040 feet and if we as
sumo that an average diameter
would be 1 inch, the catalogue
price of the amount of rope is
about 81 cents per foot, the
amount of capital invested in
wire rope would be $132, $50.
Assuming that only one-fourth Of
this rope is renewed each year,
and this amount is undoubtedly
much too small, we would have
on an output of 5000, 900 tons
per year a charge of about 2 cents
per ton for wire rope Alone

that we are not quite sure whether

truth is that among those who know
there is no doubt whatever. Thek
source of doubt is to be found In the
fact that the people Of these United

and of one accord chosen an anthem
as the English did in 1745. But there
has never been any question that
