Magnetic Separation Of orss

The subject of magnetic separation of the
ores OF iron has been gone over. so many
times and so many great things have been
promised as TO what ii would do for the
iron industry, and the results have so many
times been a failure, that the iron inter
that would be a profit to them. In fact,
they have lost interest in the subject Much
to magnetic separators which were to revo-
lutionze the preparation of iron ores, and
sight has been lost Of the fact that the
great and costly end of the business, both
in the magnetic treatment of zinc and iron
ores, was the preparation Of the materials
for magnetic observation-disclosures.
1t gives a man moral squint to look
more at condition than at character.

The sale that Jacob Foster has made
of the Jacoby building on Broadway for
record front foot price reminds me
that in the summer of 1898 s. K. Lind
ley nearly scared to death the good
people of the old Methodist church,
who owned the building, one Sunday
morning, when they saw white BAN
ner stretched over the entire sixty
eight feet of the church front that said
in blue letters a foot deep: For Sale
at a Bargain for $4,000. See S. K.
Lindley in a Hurry
No one bought the lot then, because
every one thought the price was out of
sight, and Lindley quietly lay down and
lost his $1,000 that he had paid for an
option for sixty days. Then Homer
Laughlin, many months afterward,
came along and paid $4,000 for the
frontage. He improved and sold for
about $150,000, and now Jack Foster
pockets commissions on a price that
fast approaches $265 900. Lindley has
just lost $172,O0O in less than six years.
This sale demonstrates how quietly
Jack Foster does his business. For
four weeks has he been working on

elgn handicappers Is to put an Ameri-
can sprinter on scratch in 100-yard
dash and string men out in front of
him from two to fifteen yards. In 1901
Duffey competed in a race in Wales,
and the champion of the district was
given a handicap of fourteen yards,
but Duffey was equal to the occasion,
and stealing the start on the gun, won
out. And so the case is in Australia.
From the records of the recent Aus
tralian championships the fastest man
in the antipodes cannot do better than
ten seconds for the, hundred. In that
case the handicapping on Duffey must
have resembled the advance handicaps
of a holiday event in England, in that
the marks given range from one yard
to nine in 75-yard dash.
AS soon as Duffey regains his form
and becomes acclimated he should win
the scratch events with regularity, and
as for the handicap races the Austria
ilan handicappers will undoubtedly see
that Duffey finishes not better. than
second.
Probably the best men now racing
in Australia are II. II. Hunter of Vic
toria, who defeated Duffey at the
championships, Duffey's first race, and
N. c. Barker Of New South Wales.
Barker and Hunter ran dead heat
In the championships last year, the
hundred being covered in 10 3-5. Last
week the winner Hunter, covered the
distance in 10 2-5. Then in the 220-
yard dashes Barker defeated Hunter
In the slow time of :23 3-10.
Duffy's Competitors
From Australia Duffey will go to
New Zealand and will race both at
Auckland and wellington. on this ISL
and he will meet the fastest runners in
the antipodes, and especially his old
rival, w. G. Smith of Auckland, whom
the English brought to London in 1902
for the purpose of defeating Duffey
and saving the Prince Hassan trophy.
But Duffey was equal to the occasion,
and not only defeated Smith and won
the Prince Hassan trophy, being the
second man since 1876 to do so, when
the trophy was first presented to the
London Athletic club, but also equaled
the worlds record ON grass for the 100,
running the distance in :09 AS.
In Smith of Auckland, Duffey will
meet a foeman worthy of his steel.

Grit and Gumption With
Grace and GreenbaCks
Have Builded Well

Unless all indications fail 1 think we
are fast approaching period when
real estate will show still greater in
creases. This is predicted upon the
optimistic undertone that prevails over
the country generally, backed by the
satisfactory business conditions, and
particularly because money is so
abundant and rules so easy. This
situation stimulates buying among
those who have the cash, and who see
the evidences of local expansion. AT
present 1 think there is a wide diff
ference of opinion regarding Los An
geles real estate values, and many
conservatives are now on the fence,
while the optimists, who also are
numerous, point to the many favorable
factors as sufficient to prevent any
material or permanent reaction.
So general is the remark of tourists
that Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornia never looked so handsome clean
and prosperous as now. While their
satisfaction is pleasing, the fact
should dawn upon them that the 175,000
people who live here do find this con-
dition perpetual and that that is the
real cause for this satisfaction, tire
contentment and the remarkable ex-
pansion of Greater Los Angeles. Our
rains have been seasonable and
abundant, and this, with the confidence
that is exhibited, gives an impetus to
local prosperity that no other Amer
lean community seems to enjoy.
This is we'll demonstrated in a visit
I had yesterday with D. T. Hindmaii,
the president of the First National
Bank of Britton, South Dakota, and
the former lieutenant governor of the
state. Mr.. Hindman declares that he

Facts About Suicide.

Prof William b. Bailey, of Yale has
brought out some interesting facts bas-
ed on 29,344 cases of suicide, covering
the period from 1897 to 1901. and
these are epitomized in Leslie's Week
ly thus; Using the 10000 unit, he finds
that 7,7S1 males ana z,219 females
found life intolerable. and, despairing
of mending, ended it. This leaves the
ratio OF cowardice 31a to l in favor OF
femme courage.
Almost two-thrds of the suicides oc-
CURED between the ages of 20 and 30.
Curiously enough, there are more mar
ried than single suicides. While mar
ried men are more likely to take the
plunge than married women, single,
widowed and divorced women are
more prone to kill themselves than UNI
more likely to drive people to suicide
than i'll health, insanity, disappoint-
ment in love, or strong drink. Monday
is the favorite day for the rash deed.
while few take the step on Saturday
Prof Baileys explanations is as fol-
lows: ''For those who have endured
throughout the week there is pay DAY
at hand, followed by day of rest
Among the males Monday is pre-em-
inently day for suicide. Females pre-
fer Sunday or Monday. Religious eX-
citement may have something to do
with this, but nearly a third of the do
nestle troubles leading 20 suicide come
on Sunday.
More than one-fourth of the suicides
from financial troubles and i'll health
among females occur on Monday. They
apparently lack the courage. in their
weak or impoverished condition. to
take up the struggle of a new week. OF
10000 cases, 1851 occurred in the
twelve hours before noon, and 5.s4S
during the remaining twelve hours.
Beginning with midnight, there is a
continuous increase until 6 p. m. The

Waters.

Erie, Pa, Sept. Is. - Complications
between the United States and England
are threatened as the result of the
Canadian cruiser Vigilant firing on the
fish tug w. j. McCarter yesterday
afternoon in Lake Erie. The firing was
done, it is claimed. while the tug was
in American waters.
Great excitement was caused when
the tug, which belongs to the keystone
Fish Company's fleet, limped into port,
with a big hole stove in her side by a
shot from the Vigilant.
Captain Frank Handy of the Nc
Carter, stated that he was going after
his nets and that he was in American
waters. About noon the Vigilant
swooped down upon him before he was
aware of her presence and after signal
ing fired upon him.
The feeling here against the Canad-
ian cruisers act is intense. as the au-
thorities across the border have for
some time shown disposition to IN
terfere with American fishermen. not
allowing them to even approach the
border.
1t is understood that protest was
wired to Washington last night and
immediate action is expected by the
state department..
The McCarter tug is only fifteen tons
burden. not more than half as large as
the Silver Spray that escaped from a
sharp battle in the same locality about
a year ago. None of the Americans
was injured, the shots being aimed so
as to disable the tug in order to facili-
tate its capture.
Although in leaking condition, the
tug managed to reach port in safety.
Captain Handy of the tugboat says
while they were in American waters
when fired on, to make their position
more secure they started to get farth-
err away. so there would be no doubt OF
their being in American waters. Inc
Vigilant chased them, but was not
quick enough, and fired the shots to
compel them to surrender. The first
shell struck the little tug near the
water line. but only made a dent IN
the side. 1t was a glancing shot a.

When the boat reached this port
Captain Handy looked it over ana
found that the damage did not prevent
it's use. Accordingly he started out
couple of hours later to pick up the
tishnets that he had left behind.

The Vigilant comes along the line at
some hour during the day and endeav-
ors to intercept any boats not on the
American side. The Canadians have
been very careful not to endanger the
lives of the fishermen.
