located in Minnesota was the Red Mountain of Alabama, which during 1907 produced 1.370,S49 tons and ranks seventh in the list of producing mines given by Alr. Eckel.
 The producing states are grouped hv Mr Eckel into four natural a1s- tricts. defined by geographic ana trade considerations. These are tl) the Lake Superior district, which i'll l9oI produced SO51 per cent of the total ore mined, and which includes Michl- gan. Minnesota and Wisconsin, tZl the southern district, which produced 1242 per cent of the total ore ana
 which includes Alabama, Georgia North Carolina, Tennessee, the Vlr- sinias, Maryland, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri and Texas; (3) the north ern district, including New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa, producing 5.46 per cent of the total and (4) the western district, producing 1.61 per cent of the total ore, and including the states of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, New Mex ico California, Washington, and Mon- tana
 During 1907 the United States inn ported more than 100000 long tons Of iron ore Of this total over half was from Cuba and about a third from Spain. About 116,OO0 tons came from British North America, and the re- mainder was from numerous smaller sources of supply. The exports during the year amounted to 27S,20S long tons, a slight increase over the ex ports of 1906. The bulk of these ex- ports represent Lake Superior ores shipped directly from the American side to Canadian furnaces.

 LAND LOTTERY
Rosebud Indian Reservation Lands to Be Disposed of Oct. 19-It Is Ex. pected That Over 100000 Persons Will Register for the Drawing.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The Rosebud Indian reservation lands, which, under the proclamation of the Preside1 t, are to be disposed of by lottery on Octo-
 Der 19 ~are located on the south side of the state of South Dakota and ad join the lands in Gregory county
 which were opened in 1904. They are said to be very desirable for farming liar lands in adjoining counties are selling for good prices.
 The opening of the Gregory county lands four years ago was one of the largest and most important land open ings ever held by the government and
 attracted great deal of attention, over 1O6,OO persons having been reg istered
 From the present indications the approaching opening will be even larger than the Gregory registration, since much larger area of land is to be opened. The plan adopted for this registration and drawing is similar to that used in the Gregory opening, but certain objectionable features which imposed hardships on applicants for registration have been eliminated. At the Gregory and former openings ap- Ipllcants were required to appear in person and stand in line, often for a considerable length of time, until Of ncers of the government examined into and detremined their qualifications and registered them, while at this open ing no line will be formed and the people will be permitted to send in their applications by mails or other Wise to the supt rintendents after they have been. sworn to in one of the towns above mentioned.
 Soldiers who served for three months during the Civil war, the Spanish-American war or the Philip pine instruction will not be required
 to visit the towns mentioned for the purpose of registering, but may regis ter through an agent.
 I Persons who are successful in the ! drawing will be permitted to make
 entry of one quarter section Or less
 under the h5mstead laws at some
 date after March 1. 1909, and may ob-
 tain title by making the required resi- |dence and cultivation and the payment
 Of $6 an acre for all lands entered
 prior to June 1, 1909. Or $450 on acre
 TOT lands entered under the Presi-
 dents proclamation after that date.
 There are no settlements on any of
 these lands and several town sites will
 be located in suitable places and re-
 served for homestead entry before
 March 1. 1909.

IRON.ORE PRODUCTION OF THE < UNITED STATES.

The iron ore produced in the United States in 1907 amounted to 51,720,619 long tons, valued at $131 996,147 at the mines, according to Edwin c. Eckel of the United Sthates Geological Survey whose report on the production of iron ores, pig iron and steel has just been published by the Survey as an advance chapter from Mineral Re sources of the United States. Calendar Year, 1907.' As compared with the production of 1906 the most product i've previous year, this was an increase of, s.32 per cent in tonnage and Of 31.21 per cent in value.
 Iron ore is mined for blast-furnace use in only g states of the Union, though it occurs in almost every state ard territory, and by far the greater part of the ore is mined directly by pig iron producers for use in their own furnaces The valuation which is placed on the ore is therefore entirely a matter of accounting. Some of the reports made to the Survey evidently include merely actual mining cost others contain an allowance for a sink ing fund, and in still others the figures given are obviously merely convenient prices to use in charging costs against the blast furnaces. The errors that re- suit from these various methods, how ever, are almost entirely in one direc- tion-that of underwriting the ore. II all of the iron ore were to be boush by iron furnaces in open market iron an entirely distinct set of iron or' miners. the average prices paid would probably be considerably in excess 0 those feDOlleu III lSVi lHeSe pliSe ranged, for brown ore, from an aver age or $1.01 per long ton in Arkansa and Texas to $3.67 in Connecticut an Massachusetts, and for red hematit from $1.O6 in Kentucky, Maryland an West Virginia to $3.24 in Wisconsin.

THE FALL OF FIR. ZIEGLER.
By EDWIN A. ME.

Herman Iieglcr of New York city celebrated his thisty-ffth birthday one day recently by exercising his wife. He chased her, as w2s his frequent want. with the butcher knife.
 Albeit Mrs. Ziegler seems to have en- tered into the spirit, of the festivities. she dutifully capered around the table and over the chairs to make holiday for Mir Ziegler until she grew weary of the play. Then she escaped and ran to the neighbors.
 The man of the house rested from his labors on the back porch, reciting the story of the domestic circus he had made and loudly telling what the programme would be when Mrs. Zieg- Ter returned
 In the phraseology of the street. that was where Mir Ziegler lost out
 Mrs. Zieeler returned. She brought with her tweEe other women. Note the fatal number = thirteen These merry wives seized Mr. Ziegler even while he sloated. They bound him to chair and joined hands in circle about him. The circus programme was to go on. but with changed bill and a new cast of characters.
 While the twelve made joyful noise as became the festal day. Mrs. Ziegler arrnped Mr. Ziegler with d section of the garden hose until he, too Joined in the glad acclaim. though discordantly Then the sisters of the mystic circle helped Mir Ziegler 10 bis painful bed
 Various ethical teachings might be drawn from this seracious story of the fall of Mr. Zie.ler
 For instance:
 Every nsan should learn the lesson that the race is not always to the swift HOT the battle to the strong; also that pride soe;h before a fall

 Do you remember the very cute fable by Kipiing Of the puppy aud the soap:

 So Mir Ziesler had to learn through experience and sound beating that wife chasing. pursued either as a Wonted business or as pure recrea ton. is detrimental to the chaser as well as the chased.

McAlester, Okla, Aug 26.-An ex- plosion occurred in mine No. 1, Hai- leyville, Ok, today Thirty miners are said to be entombed.

Kansas City, Aug. 26,-A telephone message from McAlester confirms the first report of the mine disaster at Haileyville and states that there is no nope of rescuing the twenty-five or thirty miners who are entombed. All the men are foreigners. The mine, which is one of the largest in the Southwest, is burning fierce1y as the result, it is believed, of barrel of oil catching fire. It appears there was no explosion.

Plans For Monster Plant Have
Been Completed and Accepted
By the Company.
WILL ASK CITY FOR
lO-YEAR EXEMPTION
New Building to Be Handsome steel
and Concrete Structure, Much Lars.
..er Than the One Recently Destroyed
by Fire.

~
1t is now an absolute, settled fact
that the Newman Lumber Company
will rebuild, ON certain condition.
This condition is that the city ex-
empt the mill property from The pay
ment of taxes for the period of ten
years, which is as long as any exemp-
tiUns can be granted in this state
The plans for the new saw mill haze
already been adopted and the plans,
with the proposition, will, it is be-
Meved, be submitted to the city coun-
Gil at its next regular meeting.
A few days ago the Daily News stat
ed that plans for the new plant were
being considered and that the building
for the min would be either of concrete
or of steel.
This matter has now been decided
the building will be of steel and will
be fireproof.
1t is understood further that shere
will be three band saws instead Of
two-the. humber used before the fire.
This WIN, of course, greatly increase
the. capacity of the pant over what 1t
as before the fire. 1t will give ca.
Racity of something like ninety mil.
lioI feet.
Other Improvements will be made
that will greatly minimize the danger
of another fire and will add to the
capacity of the plant.
1t has been generally expected that
erty would ask for this exemption be-
fore rebuilding and it will be no sur
prise to the people that such is the
case. The Newman people will not ask
for an exemption except on their mill
property and this will not include their
offices and other property that belongs
to them near the mill plant--it Will
simply be the lumber mill plant. Peo-
pie who have been expecting that this
proposition might be made have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of II.
One prominent man, speaking about
the exemption feature said that he
was not only in favor of exempting the
: Newman property for ten years, but
he would be also in favor of exempt
] ing any other big proposition like this
that would bring large lot OF moaey
to the city and give employment to
hundreds of men.
This expression seems to be the
general opinion of the people of the
city.
1t is known that the city has the
right to exempt the property. Oae
Of the strongest law firms in the state,
Alexander & Alexander, of Jackson,
has been consulted about the matter
and say there is no doubt about the
city having this power.
AS soon as this matter is settled
by the city council. work on the mill
plant will begin.
