At the Pewabic company's mill in
Black Hawk, seventy stamps are kept
constantly busy, handling beside the
regular heavy output of the Iron, Pc
wabic and East Pewabic mines, con.
siderable custom ore.
Numerous improvements are con-
templated by the Pewabic company
during the year 1908. Among these
is the moving and replacing of the old
batteries Of boilers at the mines to a
more convenient place to eliminate
as much as possible, the condensation
of steam. Replacing Of the old boil
ers with new, which will have a ca
pacity of 125 horse power at the New
York mill is also being considered by
the company and within a short time
improvements along this line will be
made. A new engine will also be added

and fifth levels in the Iron mine to
the Grasshopper vein. This latter vein
is being worked entirely under the
leasing system and the lessees have
been most fortunate in encountering
ore that has run well.
A Denver company, known as the
Guardian Mining Company, has leased
the East Pewabic property. Consid-
cradle money has been expended in
remodeling and making needed addi-
tions to the old shaft house. New ma
chinery was installed in the shape of
a five-drill air compressor, a 12x14
hoist and a 100 horse power boiler.
The company has retimbered the shaft
from the collar down to a depth of
300 feet and have sunk the shaft a
further distance of 100 feet. They
have opened up nice body of milling
and smelling ore and have been max
ink good sized shipments during the
past two months. The Guardian COM
pany anticipates doing considerable
more work within the next year and

Large Retail Buying in
Holiday Goods and Staples
SeasonabIe DuIIness Noted In
Jobblng and Wholesale Lines.
Business Exceptionally Good In
The Footwear Markets.

New York, Dec. 24.--R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say.
Retail sales have been large, both OF
holiday goods and staples. but season.
able dullness is noted in jobbing and
wholesale lines. Fall River mills and
some other manufacturing plants
closed from Thursday to Monday
morning, but other shops had too many
orders on hand for an extended holi-
day and inventories promise much
pressure for delivery after Jan. l.
No change has occurred in the pri-
rnary market for cotton goods nor is
any to be expected until January. for
deliveries arranged several months ago
put the trade in position to defer pur-
chasas now, and there are evidences
of a concerted effort to force prices
lower by doing no business. The low
position of the raw material encour-
ages this attitude, but manufacturers
have confidence that orders will ap-
pear freely when the strong statistical
situation is disclosed by the inven-
tories now being taken. The only buy
ing at present is for urgent needs, no
speculation being attempted, even by
the most confident Retail trade III dry
goods was not large at the East, but
very favorable reports are received
from the West The brief squirt in eX-
port trade was not maintained, no fur
ther interest being shown by China,
while the only new business is in
small orders for prints from Manila
and South America. More lines OF
woolens have been opened, with fairly
good results.
Footwear markets are exceptionally
active for the season, manufacturers
receiving good orders regardless of the
Holidays, and jobbers who were dis
posed to defer operations last week
are now placing contracts freely.
Eastern wholesalers are sending in
supplementary orders for delivery up
to Apri, and New England producers
announce that full list prices We're paid
on all this new business. Leather is
seasonably quiet without any evidence
Of weakness. Some tanners anticipate
further advances when demand broad
middle of January. Best orders con-
tinue to come from Boston, and sole
leather of heavy weight is the most
active feature.
Failures this week numbered 240 in
the United States, against $50 last
year, and 10 in Canada, compared with
Il year ago.

As Result Of Fire in New

-Four Others Are Seriously
Burned Loss $4,000.
Heroic Work Of Flremsn Prevents
Greater Loss Of Life.

New York, Dec 24.--One man was
killed. three other men and woman
were severely burned, and many lives
Of others were saved only by prompt
and heroic work by firemen and the
tenants themselves in fire, that
wrecked the five-story apartment house
at 1872 West 127th street early today.
The man who lost his life was Dan
iel Frizzell. IS years old, an English
man, who lived with a family named

years old, hands and arms burned.

about the face and hands.
Mullen received his burns in saving
the life of Mrs. LOCKER. He rushed up
a ladder to a window from which Mrs.
LOCKER was about to jump to the
ground, five stories below. AS he ran
up the ladder the fireman shouted
| words of encouragement to the woman
and begged her not to jump. Although
| the flames were pressing close behind
| her, she waited and was reaching out
| to meet Mullen's arms when she faint
| ed and fell back into the blazing room.
Mullen plunged headlong after her
| through the window from which clouds
Of smoke and tongues of flame were
| swirling.
When he found Mrs. LOCKER
| lying unconscious on the floor, her
night clothes ablaze, he beat out the
| flames with his bare hands, tore off his
coat and wrapped it around her to pro-
| tect her from the flying embers and
| the fierce heat, and started for the re-
turn. BY this time the room was al
| most like a furnace but Mullen sue
| ceeded in getting the unconscious wo-
| man to the window and then half wav
down the ladder where his compan-
ions were waiting. Mrs. LOCKER was
rushed to hospital but she had been
terribly burned and it is possible she
may not recover.
