Among the utility dogs might be in
cluded the sportsman's dog, trained with
infinite care, but in this brief article the
dog workers we shall keep in mind are
those used as beasts of burden.
In England, and probably elsewhere,
the law has stepped in and forbade the
once-common employment of dogs as
carriers. Not so very long ago, in the
west of England one could frequently
see dogs going to market drawing Two
wheeled carts in which were piled farm
produce, utensils, and, on top of all, a
burly man or woman. On the continent
dogs are still extensively employed in
this manner, but there they seem well
treated and well fed. AS is we'll known,
in the arctics the dog carrier is indispen-
sable.
The Eskimo dogs haze certain points
of beauty; their eyes are bright and

Will Ship a Quantity of Ore.

A force of men are at work out at
the Waukon iron mines again, getting
out shipment of about 500 tons of
ore for testing purposes by the Ifoquois
Iron Co., Of Chicago. This COM
pany is heavy operator in the iron
and steel trade and recently became
attracted to the vast deposits of ore
near this city. Some of their experts
visited the field several weeks ago and
after an investigation it was decided
to ship a quantity of the ore to their
blast furnace at Chicago and if it
proves adaptable to their wants they
will be after the entire lot which will
take them years and years to remove.
T. H. Martin, of Chicago, an expert
of the company, arrived last week to
assume charge of operations here. The
machinery at the mines will be started
up to wash quantity of the ore and
the trial shipment will aggregate
about fifteen carloads. In case the
Iroquois 90. decide to operate them
the railway company will lay a spur
track to the mines which are four
miles northeast of Waukon. The pro-
spects are exceedingly bright for the
operation of the mines on an extensive
scale. -Waukon Democrat.
