New York, Jan. 16.-Arthur c. Stein
Company, which, it is said, is owned By
the STANDARD. testified to-day In the gov
ernment's suit 10 dissolve the Standard
oil Company of New Jersey. that al
though the Galena Company furnished
lubrieating oil direct to the Santa Fe and
Rock Island railroads. it continued to pay
the Waters-Pierce Company commissions
on the sales.
This was because the latter company
had prior contracts with the railroads. He
said he did not know from what company
the Galena bought its raw material, al
though he had been connected with the
Galena fourteen years. All the purchases
he said were made through the purchas-
ing department. and he was not familiar
with that part OF the business.
Mr.. Steinbrenner said that the Calena
Company employed forty-nlne travelling
experts, and that some Of them solicited
business in a small way. II had solicitors
and statesmen who attended to that part
of the business. The reason. he testified
that he refused 10 tell where the Galena
Company bought its raw materials tc
convert into lubricating oil, was because
by 50 doing he might dlvulge the com
panys formula.

Under the contract no other shippers

they made shipments equal 0 those Of the

Ore Roasting in Australia.

Some recent experiences in conneC.
ton with ore roasting at the Great
Boulder Perseverance mine are of
special interest. In operating the
duplex roasters it was noticed that as
the amount of feed was increased be-
yond certain limits and it became
necessary to fire harder in the front
fire-boxes, the ore in the hearth area
between these boxes became over
heated, causing it to swell in degree
varying with the sChistose nature of
the ore; this gave rise to what is
known as "baling," the particles OF
ore cohering lightly III gobular form
and enclosing some of the particles
of pyrites. When the ore assumes
this condition the normal possibilities
of exposing the pyrites to oxidation
during the subsequent progression to-
wards the discharge shoots are much
reduced. and an Indifferent roast re-
suits. To obviate this overheating
and minimise the clinking of ore
around the threats of the fire-box the
