At that time, nothing but hard ore
was being mined in the Lake Superio"
country, and nothing whatever was
known of soft, or what is now called
hematite, ore. Explorations made in
those days were wholly for hard ore.
and Stephen r. Gay was the first man
to develop the real wealth Of the iron
region. The amount of hematite that
Gay bought for the Iron Cliffs COM
pany from the Jackson company at the
rate of SO cents per ton for the iron ex-
tracted is not known now. However,
there were hundreds of thousands of
tons of 1t, and the purchasing COM
panY made several fortunes on the
deal.
The so-called "paintrockn was so
plentiful that the Jackson company
built a great many roads in the vicin-
ity of Negaunee and fills as deep as so
feet in many places with the ore as it
came from the mine. At the time of

Gay had not been in Negaunee near
ly two weeks when an accident occur
ed which in effect completely revolut-
ionized the iron industry in the upper
country. Gay was a prodigious work
er and after his arrival at Negaunee
he was not seen anywhere for a fort
night except at the furnace site. On
Sunday, however. he walked over to
the mine of the Jackson Iron COM

the workings, and were engaged in
conversation just outside the office
prior to Gay taking his departure.
"How much ore have you in your
stock piles?" questioned Gay, looking
toward several big heaps of yellowish
red material.

Capt. Merry. That is what we call

practically in its infancy, a young
man by the name of Stephen r. Gay
arrived at Marquette from Lime Rock
Mass. to.superintend the erection OF
the Pioneer furnace at Negaunec for
the old Iron Cliffs company. The fact
that this plant was called the Pioneer
has in later years caused it to be re-
ferred TO rs the first furnace in tue

was not. Furnaces Older than the

out the Madisonville road. Mr.. Gus
tav Hirsch, who is in charge of the
work, says his contract will be COM
pleted within thirty days. The line
to Henderson will form the connect
ing link with Louisville and other
large cities. The materials used are
the very best in every respect. The
wire is all of copper and when COM
pleted the equipment of the new
company win be first-elass and up-to-
date.
The line will be the property of
the Central Home Telephone Com
pany, which recently acquired all of
the Independent telephone lines in
Kentucky and adjoining States. 1t
will be virtually the connecting line
between the north and south in the
movement for general telephone
competition, which has been making
such strides during the last few
years.

Rapid Progress Being Made
on Southside Artery
by Graders.
BOTH ENDS ARE GRADED.
Temporary Tie-up in Crossing
the Crockett Property
Near 21st Street.

The grading for the Belt Line rail-
road from the l. c. road near the
Cookies mill road crossing to East
Eighteenth street, where it crosses
the L. & N. railroad, is about rs per
cent. completed. The line will be 6 200
feetlong. Atits junction with the l. c..
in the Trice meadow there was a very
high fill, gradually decreasing to Vir-
ginia street, about 100 yards outside
the city limits, the crossing being
made without change of the street
grade. The line for 300 yards east
ward from that point is very level
and then a considerable cut is encoun-
tered just opposite M. H. Nelson's
house, where the road turns to the
north and runs thence almost due
north.
The dirt from the cut was needed
in fill where the ground slopes into
almost a gulch and then rises to a
grade crossing at Twenty-first street,
probably 400 or 500 yards further.
This low ground is an old gully
field owned by the Crockett heirs and
the right of way has not yet been
secured. The agents want 81, 600 for
the right Of way across it and pend
ing negotiations with nonresident
heirs the work is tied up temporarily
at this point.
From Twenty-frst street to Eigh-
teenth street the line is on level
stretch through the Hopper field re-
Gently sold to the Forbes Manufac-
turing Company. One little hill about
the center had to be taken off and
this was almost finished last week.
The right of way is ready for the
ties at both ends and, excepting the
heavy fill in the Crockett field, the
grading is practically finished. This
work is being done by Upshur Wool
bridge and a dozen scrapers and
many teams are being used.
The line will be L-shaped, sharply
curved at the angle point. At the
western end the /. C. has already
begun laying ties and tracks. Prob
ably 200 yards of this work was done
last week. 1t can be completed rap
idly after the grading is finished.
