The open hearth department is
operating four of the six fur
naces day and night and the out

Superintendent Durfee has sys-
tematized work about this de-
partment to a nicely, and he
keeps the wire mill well supplied
with raw material, the steel of
course first going to the 4o-inch
bloom mill, and then through the
rod mill !. Besides this, the open
hearth furnished the latter part of
last week soft steel to the rail
mill for angle bars.
Every department of the mer-
chant iron and steel mill is also
runnino full capacity, day and
night. This department also in
cludes the bolt and railroad spike
mills. The demand on the Mime
qua works for merchant iron and
steel are very heavy and many
car loads of the product are daily
shipped out.
A large gang of riggers are now
engaged in demolishing and tear
ing down the old finishing end
building of the rail mill, also the
boilers of the old gas producers
for the rail mill, the same having
been supplanted by new and more
modern ones, especially the gas
producers for the new rail mill

these structures will afford more
room for storage and other pur-

PAVING ACTIVITY IN FRONT OF THE INDICATOR BUILDING

the work one day this week and
the concensus of opinion was that
it is all right, the few minor OBJ
jections offered being Of no con-
sequence and they were passed
by without official notice.
Paving District No. 1 will all
be practically completed by the
middle of October, barring no
bad luck. The next district
mapped out for action is on Ev-
ans avenue extending to the
north from Mesa to Washington,
distance of four long blocks.
This will be known as District
No. 2.
District No. 3 will extend from
Mesa Junction to the viaduct,
taking in all the, incline so given
to washouts, and District, No. d
will run from the viaduct to the
river bridge on South Union ave

ence, possibly because she was in the
habit of dropping in to sell her wares
at all times.
AT any rate, she was allowed to re-
main through the conference When 1t
broke up all the officers were more or
less under the influence of the vodka she
had served to them so literally, and
not one of them had enough sense to
secure the maps and papers and take
them away to safety.
Miss Ando was not slow to improve
her opportunity. With the disappear
ance of the last Russian she hastily
seized the papers, slipped them under
her kimono, fastened them around her
body, and made, her way out of the
quarters.
Her thoughts now were of immediate
escape. She knew that she was well
known in Port Arthur as a pet of the
officers, and that her presence at the
railway station might be commented on
and lead to her detection.
When she had made her way to her
room in the foreign quarter of the town
she disguised herself in the dress of a
coolie and started for the railway sta
ton. Being unfamiliar with the way
she soon became confused and spent
precious minutes trying TO locate her
self. At last. in her desperation, she
hailed a cab that happened by and was
taken to the station, representing to the
driver that she was a refugee hurrying
to get away before war began
At the station she found crowd OF
japanese and Chinese refugees waiting
to take train for Pekin, and she joined
them. She succeeded in escaping de-
lection and getting on the train, which
by good luck, was not long in starting.
During the trip TO Pekin she kept the
papers tightly bound around her body
Once in the capital she made straight

and insisted on seeing him personally
When she was taken before him she
explained that she had brought papers
of some sort from Port Arthur, briefly
detailing how she secured them. A
few minutes later when they were hand
ed to him the Minister saw at a glance
the great importance of the girls prize
In the words of Miss Ando, "the
honorable Minister. was much pleased
with me and said the papers would be
of much service. He also said for me
to GO to Japan before the Russians got
after me. and he looked after me and
put me on a ship. l am glad that
have been of some value to the nation
Miss Andc is now in Toxic. where
the papers preceded her and where her
parents live She is "in great honor
and received by everybody" to quote a
Japanese account. Indeed, her parents

ors calmly.

GIRL WHO STOLE THE WAR MAPS
All Japan Ringing With Miss Ando-yoshi's tx
ploit---By Her Quick Wit She Got Away
From Port Arthur With important Russian
Charts.

to becoming geisha girl, and hearing
that many of her compatriots were maxi
ing good living in Manchuri;l, she de-
cided to go there.
She landed at Port Arthur about four
years ago. There she began selling rice
cakes for a living, first to the Japa-
nese and the Chinese population, and
later on to the Russians.
Miss Ando, according TO Japanese
standards, is a progressing young wo-
man. and it was not long before she
attracted the attention of some of the
Russian officers According to native
account, 1t was her lacquer black hair
and bright eyes" which worked havoc
with the Russians. Whatever the cause.
Miss Ando found favor in the eyes of
the officers and was permitted TO sell
rice cakes in the officers quarters.
When the news reached the Japanese
at Port Arthur that the relations with
Russia were strained, Miss Ando had
long enjoyed the freedom of barracks
and officers quarters. Indeed, she was
not infrequently present at many of the
entertainments given by the officers.
Miss Ando, upon learning of the
impending war, determined to put her
privileges to some account for her coun-
try. SO at the first sign of trouble she
did not fee from the city with the
majority of her countrvmen. Instead,
she sold rice cakes as before, but she
also kept her eyes open.
Her chance came some days before
Port Arthur was bombarded. In go
ing about the quarters at night she came
upon group of officers engaged in
conference over lot of maps and
papers.
Although she could not understand
the Russian LANGUAGE well enough to
ascertain what the officers were talking
about, she intuitively realized. the inn
poTtance OF the papers, and determined
to secure them at all hazards and take
them to Japan.
She noticed that the officers. were

All Japan is ringing with the daring
exploit Of Miss Ando Yoshi, which the
authorities have just permitted TO be
known.
Her name is on everybody's lips. She
IS being cleered by the students and
merchants in torchlignt professions and
by the boys waging the war game IN
the temple grounds almost as much as
Adnirals Togo ard Uriu. Moreover,
she has been highly commended by the
Mikado. and in all probability will re-
ceive decoration from him.
Miss Ando Yoshi deserves her coun-
trymen's praise. AT great risk she stole
important war maps and papers from
the Russians at Port Arthur, and in
disguise carried them through the Rus
sian lines to Peleir1, where she delivered
them to the Japanese Minister
These maps, it is understood here,
have influenced the Japanese general
staff to a considerable extent IN its plan
of war, since they give detailed infor-
nation concerning the measures taken TO
protect Port Arthur and Dalny-harbor
defences, strength of the garrisons,
dimensions of the Notifications, etc.
They also show the location of forts
throughout Manchuria and the DISPOSE
ton of the Russian forces up to the
day the maps were stolen.
Then there are full details of de-
fences to be erected in case OF a Japa-
nese invasion, and instructions con-
corning the mobiiizing of the troops in
such an event. Means of transporta-
ton and the possibility of laying rail-
roads for the purpose are infinitely OUT
lined, and the names of the regiments
to be sent TO the front al once and their
destinations are given.
Miss Ando primarily owes her fame
to the circumstance that her family was
too poor to support her. She objected

school education and then turned him
loose The lad secured job as clerk in
a railroad Office, and instead of hang
ing around barrooms he went to a
dancing school At this place he met
a number of young women who liked
him. and they introduced him into the
mysteries of whist Soon he was master
of the game, and his fame spread to the
circle higher UP. Invitations followed,
and he began to shave every day in
stead of twice a week. He bought
dress suit When a place opened in
New York one of his women patron
