One Result Of the Summer Cir

Vie RP0GLl u kliC SNIlitlCi Aiils
A minister whose pastoral duties
bring him in contact with many Young
men who have become stranded in
New York makes point of inquiring
closely into the derelicts' reasons for
leaving good homesin the country for
a precarious existence in the city In
more than a third of the cases where
he has gained the entire confidence of
the young men he has found that the
cause e.of the wanderlust was the sum-
mer girl. She had boarded at the farm
for a fortnighteor maybe for month
in the summertime, the country boy
had been swept off his feet by her
charms. and when she returned to
sew York he followed. Not once, ac-
cording to this minister, has the. ac-
quaintance begun in the country been
continued in town, but the mischief
of Turing the young man away from
home had been accomplished and one
more unit had been added to New
York's floating population.

October Tonnage Large.

Reports from the industrial iron
trade reveal some remarkable condi-
tions. Although for n number OF
weeks new business has been reduced
to small volume. statistics .of pro-
dcution for the last month show that
seldom in the hisory of the trade have
such large tonnages been turned out.
For example, the American Bridge
company. the largst producer Of
structural material, turned out go. 600
tons last month, but sold only one-third
OF that amount. The great plants Of
the United Safes steel corporation at
Chicago and Pittsburg made surprising
records. The Carnegie steel comany.
for example. broke fifteen records mt
ifs various plants. The Illinois Steel
company. not only broke all it's pre-
vious records. but did so In every in
diyidual department in all three works,
South Chicago, Milwaukee. and Joliet
Even more important was the blast
furnace production for October, which.
according TO the statistics Of the Iron
Trade Review. reached a new point in
the history of the trade, the production
being 2.a52. $50. tons, compared with
the largest previous 2.20i. $50 tons in
May Of this year Ia other words the
production for October was ~ the rate
Of about ~. 0o0, 0oO tons year
The statistics for Novebmor will
doubtless tvll vastly different story.

believed 10 be the best method of pre-
venting reduction of prices below cost
and general demorlization OF the trade,
has progressed at a vigorous rate Fol
owing the wonderful production OF Tia o
blast furnaces for October, the blowing
out OF stacks has been prominent

"In the steel works. suspensions OF

marked reduction of output. In fin

quests for suspensions. and in some

Of all the unfavorable reports, however,

CITY FAILED AGAIN
TO GET A LOAN
IRON MOUNTAIN BANK WOULDN'T
LET GO or THE Cash.
SETTLED wlTHTHE CONTRACTORS
Order Allowed For Amount Coming to
Billed For Attending Council
Meetings.

The city met with another rebuff in
its efforts to get some cash TO tide over
until taxes come In. We reported last
week that arrangements had been
closed with the Finnish a. Swedish
Mercantile Assn. The loan was made
in good faith and the Finnish q
Swedish people made arrangements to
advance the money bnt when they came
TO get the cash they found that they
had not reckoned on the tight money
and thus were thwarted in their mis-
sion of love.
The money was on deposit in one of
the Iron Mountain banks and when the
bank was approached for the cash they
announced that sixty-day notice
would have to be given before the cash
would be paid. The Iron Mountain
bank is only pursuing the same policy
that all other banks are at the pre-
sent time conserving their resources
in cash. and cannot be blamed for the
stand they took.
This puts an extremely serious face
upon the present situation. No loan
can be secured and there is no money
in the treasury so orders will have TO
float for time.
A settlement was made with the
Falkeneau people and an order issued
in their favor payable sometime
The bill OF the contractors brought out
another specie of nerve that hadn {
been in evidence before. A charge of
$3l. 40 was made for attending council
meetings II has been necessary for
one or two representatives of the firm
TO attend the council meetings TO ex-
plain why the equipment was not on

necessary to have $l25-per month man
TO screen gravel and various other little
things that require considerable waste
of grey matter. The number of brain
storms wera punched and price OF
$3l. 80 placed upon them. Then the
aldermen had commotion in their
grey matter and the positive and
negative forces peutralizvd and the bill
was wiped off the slate.
No other business was transacted al
the meeting. A lot Of claims remain
nn audited but they will probably be
taken up and disposed Of next Monday
evening.

FURTHER CURTAILMENT
IN THE SHIPPING LIST
HEMLOCK NINE IS THE ONLY ONE
REMAINING.
A HITCH AT THE ftslNs

Half Way to Location = Other Mining
News.

There was a further curtaiIment Of
the shipping list this week when the
Bristol mine went to stocking its entire
output. AS mentioned in these columns
last week. the Bristol had suspended
shipments OF Manganate d couple of
weeks ago but continued sending out
its best grade stuff. Oiders were
received last Monday TO start stocking
the entire output and the cars were
pulled out from the mine.
The Dunn finished last Thursday
morning, the Hollister Wednesday
afternoon and the Mansfield on Thurs
day leaving only the Hemlock IN the
shipping list. 1t is said that the Hem
lock will ship all OF the month.
THE FESING.
We noted some time ago that the
Buffalo a. Susquehanna company has
taken an option on the Fesing, or south
Dunn as il is called by some. There
seems to be some hitch in operations
as work has been suspended out here
and the men have gone away. Two
boilers were landed at the Dunn and
one was hauled half way to the scene
Of operations and left there. Just what
the hitch Is is not given out.
THE MCDONALD.
At this property north of the Armenia
mine, Captain Drake has crew OF
men retimbering and cleaning out the
second testpit west from the Armenia.
This pit is said to be 100 feet deep
and shows some very good material on

II is the intention to clean out this
pit and sink and crosscut from IL in
hopes of cutting some merchantable

This plan Is Made Necessary Because the

condition OF affairs is made necessary
from the fact that the employers OF
labor cannot get the cash to pay their
laborers from the banks. Ihey All
have money on deposit but banks are
not paying out money, partly 70 pro'ec'
their reserve. partly 70 provide tneni
selves with cash 70 pay their depositors
when their certificates mature ana
partly TO prevent the people from Win
drawing the money from circulation
nv boarding it and thus make bad
condition worse and perhaps bring on
a financial panic similar to that OF
1888.
All agree that the banks are acting
wisely and that II matters can be heid
in abeyance for thirty or sixty days
pntit confidence Is retsored and what
money has been withdrawn is again
brought out of its hiding places the
threatened catastrophe will be averted
For that very reason the employers
of labor through the country have been
paving their-laborers in small checks

chant for the necessaries OF life. II
mans monthly wage was all included
i'm one check the merchants would find
IL difficult 20 handle them az they have
no money 10 make the change but with
the wage divided into several checks
they can be easily handled.
Two checks will be given each work
man, one for twenty per cent Of his
monthly wage which will be payable
In cash at the bank. The other checks

titled and are worth just as much az

them in exchange for goods, fetch them

for them and in that way they will
