HILL ON UTAH IRON.

President James J. Fill of the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific, has
lust concluded his great deal with the
United States Steel Corporation. He
sells to that concern, for an amount
stated at four hundred million dollars,
his railway companies iron deposits.
He sold for the stockholders. beneitlng
himself not at all otherwise than IN
his capacity as stockholder. The land
IN which this iron ore is found came
to his companies for nero nominal
price, not above Sl.25 an acre. The
estimate of ore contained in the land
sold to the steel corpora ton is about
FIVE hundred million tons, or enough
TO supply the total demand Of the
United States for iron ore for ten
years
Evidently. from q talk which Presl-
dent Hill gave out in New York, be
considers that his holdings Of iron ore
ground, which he has sold as stated,
comprises the only great deposit there
is. He had not lost sight of the great
deposit in Iron county, Utah, either,
for he referred to it in a sighting
way. Here is the way he is reported
by question Of the reporter, and his
answer:
Haven't you coruered all the iron orc1
Is there any TO be found elsewhere IL any
quantity in this country -
20. yes There's something like 10000.
900 tons 10 southwestern Utah. That would
last the United States around eighteen
months.
This time Mr.. Hill laughed heartily. Ap.
parently he didn't regard the Utah mines or
any others, as serious competitors,
1t was all very well, Of course, for
President ELL to magnify his holdings,
and depreciate all other iron deposits,
That was his business. as holder OF
iron lands. and a seller. But the re-
mark he made proves that he has not
seen the iron deposits of southwestern
Utah. and that he depends upon In
perfect reports about them. Either
that, or else he willfully deprecated
them IN order to magnify the import
ance of his own holdings. Tor, the
fact is that the iron deposits OF Iron
county, Utah. embrace not acres, but
miles; and they comprise not merely
surface. but whole ranges Of hills that
are all iron ore of good quality. In
stead of his deposits being seven or
eight times as large as the Utah de-
posits, the fact will probably be found
to be the reverse; that the Utah de-
posts are seven or eight times as
large as those which President Hill
owned. They may be twenty or a hun
dred times as great, for no one knows
their surface extent or their depth.
Our own opinion is that they are
tremendous blowout for the Silver
Reef deposits, and that they extend
for fully three thousand feet in depth,
with probability of silver and copper
underneath.
The fact that the Utah iron deposits
have never in the least been explored,
but stand out huge and rich in the
metal, and are Of unknown length,
breadth, and depth, makes it as very
bad form to refer TO them as of con
temptible extent, And the Iron county
deposits are by no means all that
we have.

THE LION AND THE LASSO.
Cleveland Plaln Dealer.


In the hands of an expert the sim-
plest adjunct of his profession may be-
come thing of unexpected possibil-
ties. And yet experts are rarely excus.
able. for trying rash experiments. a
rancher in South Dakota recently took
a long gsllop along the foothills and
while pursuing his way suddenly dis
covered a mountain lion summing him
self on a turfy incline. The rancher
had no wea pom but a lasso hung at his
saddle bow, and with all a rancher S
rashness he determined to give battle
to the brute. The latter turned to run
when the lasso loop settled about his
neck, Then be whirled around and the
pursuer at once became the pursued.
For several hundreds of yards it was
race for life between pony and lion
with the rancher a decidedly interested
spectator. But presently the pony
gained on the lion and the race ended
with the brute an exhausted captive.

OF ROADS
AUTOMOBILES SAID TO BE CARRYING
OFF THE DUST.

Experiments of Government Experts
to Ascertain Quantity Blown Away
by Motor Cars-Eforts Being Made
to Find Remedy.
The automobile stands accused on
official government authority of high
crime and misdemeanor. 1t is destroy
Ing roads. And if it be asked, How so?
the answer is: By carrying off the
dust. The dust, strange though it may
seem, is the life of road, without
which it soon undergoes disintegration.
This will be explained later on, how
ever. Meanwhile it will be interesting
to describe some experiments which
Uncle Sans road experts are now en-
gagged In making, with a view to ascer-
tanning just how much dust is carried
off from a road by an average motor
car travelling at various rates Of speed.
One method adopted for the purpose
is to mount a Photographic camera on
the front of motor car, and, following
close behind another automobile, to
take snapshots of the latter at different
speeds. 1t is quite picturesque and in
teresting performance, the exact speeds
being determined by means of stop
watches held by men stationed along
the track, while additional photogra-
piers are placed at intervals on the
roadside to take pictures of the ma
chimes as they fly past. The work in
question is being done in the neighbor-
hood of Washington under the direction
OF the bureau of roads, which utilities q
certain stretch of roadway for a given
afternoon, warning all vehicles to keep
carefully to the right.
Then something begins to happen.
The speed law is abrogated for that
afternoon over this particular stretch
The Havre herald. [volume] (Havre, Mont.) 1904-1908, 1906-09-21

with stop watches are duly placed at
their appointed stations. Whoosh! Off
goes a machine at rapid rate, fol
lowed closely by another, in the front
Of which, with the chauffeur, sits a
man who operates a camera. The
dust flies upward in a cloud, partly
obscuring the automobile in 'front.' but
that is what is wanted-to show by
photography how much dust is thus
thrown UP from the roadbed, to be
carried off by the breeze, and so, in
considerable part, lost.
To say that dust is the life Of road
is not putting the fact too strongly.
1t Is the cementing material of the road
surface, which, combining with the
moisture contributed by rain, holds to-
gether the stony particles composing
that surface, shedding storm water
and preventing the particles from I'M
dergoing disintegration. Thus it may
be said that dust is to road what
shingles are to house. If it is taken
away the roadbed goes to pieces. The
amount Of dust thrown up by the au-
tomobile is in proportion to the speed
at which it goes. But in order to OBJ
tain exact figures on this point, the
government experts take series of
photographs of each motor car, trav-
cling over the same stretch of road, at
ten miles, twenty miles, thirty miles
and so on up to seventy miles an hour
A stretch Of road with fairly sharp
turn is chosen by preference, In order
that photographers posted at the bend
may, with safety to themselves, snap
shoot each motor car from directly
in front, as it approaches, and also
directly from behind, after 1t has
passed by. Now, 1t is not merely for
theoretical purposes that the road bu-
reau Is making these experiments. 1t
is trying to find remedy for the mis-
chief-a practical part of the inquiry
which is being carried on simultane-
ously with the automobile tests above
described. Something must be found,
obviously, to keep the dust from being
carried Off the roads, and the pre-
ventive seems to be either tar or Oil.
For some months past the experts
have been applying tar and crude pc
10 uluGTeui ScCtlOuS VI IOduSp
and they have found that either
Though the tar seems to be preferred,
accomplishes the purpose admirably.
It appears that an application of tar
costs less than 2 cents a square yard,
including labor, and it will last for
year or so, though just how long can
not be stated exactly as yet The cost
of oil is even less. The tar Is trans
ported for the purpose in tank cars
and heated in the car by introducing a
coil of steam pipe into it and furnish
ing the requisite heat from an engine
on wheels which is run up alongside.
In this way the material is made fluid,
so as to be easily spread by men with
brooms or otherwise over the surface
of the roadbed that is to be treated.
The tar gives hard and smooth coat
ing. resembling asphalt 1t penetrates
to depth of one or two inches, and in
the case of macadam forms sort Of
matrix into which the stones of the top
layer are set.
