SMELLING STEEL BY ELEC.
TRICKY.

THE enormous quantity of iron ore
which is being scooped from the ranges
about Lake Superior, dug out of the
hills of Alabama and Tennessee and
hoisted from the deep pits of Pennsyl-
vania, has caused the geologist and
mineralogist to make startling predic-
tions. Some of them have gone so far
as to say that We are approaching an
era when iron may rank among the
rarer metals because of its scarcity.
Even James J. Hill. the railroad mag
nate and developer of the Northwest,
who was one of the first to realize the
vast deposits Of ore in the Superior
ranges. has made the prophecy that
perhaps within a half century most of
the richer ore beds will be exhausted
and that we may be obliged to go out
side of America for much of the raw
material for our smelters and fur
naces."
This paragraph leads an interesting

able features of this excellent number

young man had been bothered consid.
erably with prickly heat and to reliev,
this condition, he attempted to use a
remedy of which he had been told, t.
take a bath in tub of water TO which
had been added a spoonful of carbolic
acid. Instead, not thinking of the re-
suit, he used little water and cup
full of the acid and applied the mixture
to his lower limbs. The effect was
more than he had anticipated. adding
the discomforture, of bad burns to the
prickly heat, which itself is not the
most enjoyable sensation. He will be

| likely to go so strong hereafter on the

SUSPECTED OF INSANITY-Dick
Ahalt Who for years has been a cook
about Phoenix restaurants, most of the
time being employed at Hoghe's chop
house, latterly Gass Bros. chop house.
was yesterday taken into custody on a
charge of insanity. He will be given
an examination this morning His ac-
tlons for several days had excited sus-
plcion and alarm among his friends
who were hopeful though that his in
disposition was only temporary. Yes
terday morning it was thought best to
detain him. There was no improve
ment in his condition in the course of
the day. Ahalt has been a man of
jovial disposition and has a large num-
Der of friends in Phoenix. The cause |
OF his arrangement is not known but |
has father was recently killed in a !
railroad accident in Missouri and il is
thought that his worry over that has
brought about his sons mental condi- |
ton.

day from a tour of the southern part
of the territory, awakening the interest
in the fair. He found interest already

that that part of Arizona will make
more liberal contribution than ever to
the success OF the exposition.
ATTENDED ELKS CONVENTION
Fred Butler of Butler and Davis, re-
turned yesterday from a trip east ex-
tending over a period of several weeks.
While gone Mr.. Butler attended the
grand lodge meeting of the Elks in
Philadelphia and was in line with the
many thousands and enjoyed all the
festivities that the occasion afforded.
He also visited in Canada, saw Niagara
Falls and spent some time at Joliet,
Illinois. with his relatives.
NEVADA OvERDONE-S. ]. Sim
clair was in the city yesterday en-
route to Bisbee after tour of Nevada,
wyoming, Utah and other northwest
ern states. He thinks that Nevada is
much Overdone though Tonopah, Gold
field and Manhattan are Furnishing
camps. A great deal of eastern capital
is being attracted to Nevada allured by
the gold fever which always attracts
more than copper, but some of the
mines are not operating as extensively
nor using as many men as a few
months ago. He thinks Arizona
much better field for investment and
1t is a mistake for people to wander
away seeking an FL Dorado when the
nearest thing to that coveted place is
t. be found within the boundaries of
the treasure territory.
A HOME TELEPHONE-A man
driving along Tenth avenue yesterday I
noticed wire strung across the street. !
1t did not look like a telephone wire 3
and beside seemed to be numerously /
spliced- On examining it more closely /
he found that it consisted of a sec /
ton of baling wire. Being of a Curl |
Gus turn of mind he followed one end !
of ii to a house and made inquiry as
to the purpose of the device. He was
told that il was a home telephone, a
very crude affair but fully effective
for the purpose for which it was in
tended. There was a bell at each end
of it. The proprietors said that when
either desired to call her neighbor
across the street she could ring the
bell in half the time that she could do
so by the regular telephone. Each
could learn thus whether the other was 4
at home, and If so a meeting could be
at which the subject under
discussion could be more fully gone
into than by the medium of the Sunset
telephone.
