MARIANNE DISASTER
WILL BE CONSIDERED

Washington, November 90.-(Special.)-
Additional interest is lent in the opening
of the United States geological surveys
experiment station at Pittsburg next week
owing to the disaster in the Mariana
mnies. The station is to investigate the
question of mine explosions.
Members of Congress. scientific men,
coal mine owners and operators, state
mine inspectors and officers and members
of the United Mine Workers, representing
the miners, will be in attendance.
1t is also expected that James G. Gar
field, Secretary of the Interior, under
whose general direction this station has
been established, will be present. The
station has been in operation for several
months and in that time number of ex-
periments have been made in methods for
reducing the death rate among Ameri-
can miners. At the present time that
rate is higher here than in any other
coal producing country in the world, 4.S6
in every 1000 men employed. In Eu-
ropean countries, where similar govern
mental stations have been established,
the rate has been lowered from one as
high as the present rate in the country

Decreased Iron Content In Ore

The lower the iron content in a
given ore the more limestone per ton
of pig iron is needed to flux the re.
jected parts of 1t. The limestone con-
sumption in furnaces melting Lake ST.
peribr ores is steadily increasing. In
1891 1t stood at LOOP pounds per ton
of pig iron produced; in 1907 the con-
sumption had been increased to PAT
pounds. The average iron content of
Mesabi ores has fallen, in other words,
from $685. per cent in 1897 to 51.73
per cent in 1907.
1t is not claimed that these figures
are exact-that they hold good in the
entire Mesabi range. They are, how
ever, approximate. They are as near
ly correct as returns and statistics ad-
NIT of. 1t is known, at any rate, that
the ores of today from Lake Superior
call for more limestone and more coke,
and both mean an increased cost of
production.
OF the IA ores tested from the Me-
sabi range, 81 show under the new
penalty system an iron content in the
natural state above so per cent, while
II show lower iron content. A fur
Their fall in the next 10 years of four
or FIVE units would bring Mesabi ores
neck and neck with our brown ores,
with a transportation cost that bears
heavily against the former. "Old hard
red" lying quietly in Red mountain
still has an inning coming to it.

that a majority of those who had
drawn their funds out of bank pre-
ferred to wait and take a good look
over the scene, and study the condi-
tions before putting it back again.
The past few days have shown an in
crease in deposits nearly as great as
the previous three weeks. The in
creased deposits for these weeks were
$1.559, 90O for the past five days,

up to 500, 647 400, or 1854. 500 in ex-

These conditions indicate the return
of confidence among the small invest
ors and depositors, and what is true

long ago have become fact Just why
the people of Jones valley prefer pea
nut politics to census figures that
would increase the value of all prop

account for. Atlanta is full of To-
cal pride and spirit; here there is

unless Jones valley gets together At
lanta will stand out the metropolis of

Atlanta cannot have, but still we lack
the local spirit ON certain lines that
Atlanta has, and that is what accom-

STEINHEIL CASE
Is PROGRESSING

Paris, November so.-The investigation
of the Steinheil case did not make any
great advance today. M. Andre, the ex-
aiming magistrate, heard only a few
secondary witnesses. The most import
ant results, however, are expected from
the lengthy examination of Madame Stein
he'll, which has been fixed for tomorrow
and Wednesday, and the magistrate will
decide from the evidence whether the re
construction of the crime in the presence
OF Madame Steinheil would be necessary.
Extraordinary precautions are being
taken in view of a possible hostile dem
onstration tomorrow Madame Steinheil
will be brought to the court at an early
hour and she will be kept henceforth
in the historic conciergerie.
1t was announced tonight that Madame
Steinheirs counsel, M. Aubin, will retire
from the case. The reason given for this
is that he took up the case prior to the
criminal Indictment, but that he now pre-
fers to turn it over to a special assize
court advocate, as he is not versed in
that class of work.
M. Ogier director of the laboratory OF
texicology, has begun an analysis of the
glasses found in the Steinheil residence
after the crime His labor will require
one week. He is not hopeful of the re-
suit, believing that the glasses were
either washed after the last meal Of the
Steinheil family, or if narcotics were
used in them. all traces have since evap-
Grated or been absorbed

Fires on Red Mountain.

For several days 1 have noticed that
the woods on Red Mountain have been
afire'' said resident of the South High
lands yesterday afternoon.
Sunday night between Twelfth and
Twentieth streets, extended, there were
six different parts of the woods on fire.
The blazes were apparently confined TO
bitches running along up the mountain
giving the appearance of fiery serpents,
and while the sight from the valley be-
low was very pretty one, the thought
1essness of whoever started the fire, per-
haps some boy, might have been the
cause of some bad fire in the neighbor-
hoods at the foot of the mountain.
"These fires have burned slowly and
have lasted for several days. 1t seems to
me that visitors to the mountain should
be pore careful of the way they start
fires, and If there is any way to stop
this matter 1 believe the city authorities
should take hand for the protection
of the South Highlands residents"

SOM Elbow GOOD.

By Tennyson.
oh, yet we trust that somehow good
Will be the final goal of i'll,
To pangs of nature, sins of WILL
Defects of doubt and taints of blood;
That nothing walks with aimless feet;
That no one life shall be destroyed.
Or cast as rubbish to the void,
When God hath made the pile complete
That not a worm is cloven in vain;
That not a moth with vain desire
Is shriveled in a fruitless fire,
Or but subserves anothers gain.
Behold, we know not anything
I can but trust that good shall fall
At last-far off-at last, to ALL
And every winter change to spring.
So runs my dream; but what am ]?
An infant crying in the night;
An infant crying in the lights
And with no language but a cry.
