convinced that these rich merchants
well to do lawyers and Moslem land
owners will never risk their substance
for a shadow. They may hold con-
ferences in railway trains, they may
resent the proselytizing activity of
Roman Catholics, and the preference
given to Austrians and Hungarians
in the service Of the state. But these
conferences and complaints are not
new, and Pan-Slavist agitation, like
the Nationalist movement in Ireland,
is a powerful lever for extracting con-
cessions. This brotherhood Of Mos
lem and Christian is new, however,
and its novelty may we'll provoke sus-
picion. For generations both Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina stroye to remove
the Moslem yoke which they profess
to be anxious to restore-with pre-
cautions It is easy enough for COM
Portable, middle aged merchants and
lawyers and landlords, secure behind
the walls Of Sarajevo, to devise plans
! for a new Moslem saddle that shall
be placed on the back Of Europe and
not on themselves.
But what do the people Of Bosnia
say? Their answer is characteristic
Of the Balkans. Twelve months ago
the provence was peopled with Ser
vians. Today they tell you they are
Bulgars. Yet they are the same peo-
ple-only the conditions have chang
ed. Bulgaria has proclaimed a Gar
Ferdinand in the place Of a Prince
Ferdinand and in the Balkan penin-
sula a race is as easy to change as
name.
Poverty does not press heavily on
the masses in Bosnia as in Herzegov-
ina. The country is rich in natural
resources and Austria has done much
to develop them, though she might
have been more prudent in the choice
Of capitalist instruments.
And prosperity counts-even in the
Balkans.

on the border Of Vow Bazaar. Our
hearts beat fast at the welcome that

T.E.COLE RESIGNS
FROM STEEL
INTERESTS IN COPPER AND 9TH
Err MINES WILL KEEP HIM OC-
CUpIED AND ASSIST THE RED
METAL INDUSTRY.

Iron Ore. received yesterday, con-
tains the following:
Mr.. T. F. Cole, president OF the
oliver Iron Mining Co. the Mime
sofa iron Mining Co, the Chandler
Iron Mining Co, subsidiaries OF the
United States Steel corporation, has
rendered his resignation TO the lat
ter organization.
Mr.. Cole desired 10 be relieved
some time ago, but important con-
tjngeneies arose which he felt il a
duty TO meet, desiring to have every
I thing complete and harmonious be-
! fore stepping down and out from a
place of such industrial importance.
The present finds the affairs of the
corporation in and anout its mines
in splendid condition, with fine or
CARNATIONS everywhere. and with
success firmly established. and with
future that everyone recognizes
and appreciates.
Mr.. Cole has done immense SER
vice for the corporation with which
he has been so prominently identified.
Possessing a splendid equipment for
the handling OF big mining enter
prises, he also is a man OF keen bus
mess foresight, and his first effort
was directed TO looking up outside
properties and illustrating to his peo-
pie why they should he added TO
their holdings The editor of Iron
Ore knows something of the wonder
full persistency and energy Mr.. Cole
put forth In this direction. 1t was
at time when iron ore properties
were low in price. and could be had,
but it took lot of pressing and fig
nres and insistent hammering, often
to carry the point. For years this
gathering in of mines and mineral
lands has been going on and today
the real foundation of the United
States Steel corporation consists
largely in its great reserves of the
raw material, the iron ores in this
Lake Superior region. How many
millions In profit have been added
during the management of the mines
by Mr. Cole. we would not venture
10 say, but il aggregates a sum far
in excess of any yet stated in connec-
ton with this great mining indus
trial organization, and for this adj
dition secured opportunity and
eheaply. the corporation can give
thanks principally TO its mining de-
partment president.
The great mines of this big OPP
Grating concern have been put in the
very finest condition for rapid op-

minimum cost. Practical equip
ments of machinery have been in
stalled, systems of mining have been
applied that are best fitted to the
various conditions, and all designed
with particular reference for the
years 10 come.
Thomas F. Cole knows the mining
business. He started in 1t as mere
boy, and he wasn't afraid of work.
We have seen him with crowbar in
his hands prying and lifting, getting
machinery into place underground

GOLDFIELD AND THE
NEW ROAD To ELY

Following declaration of the fact
that the Ely camp is beyond all
doubt the greatest copper field in the
world, both from the standpoint of
ore resources and cheapness of cop
per production therefrom. the Gold
field News sums up the desirability
of close connection of that camp
with the smelling facilities of this
center in the following important
statement concerning the changes oc-
curing in the ores of that great gold
camp: 49,
The time is coming when Gold
field will be smelling camp. The
evidences of this are unmistakable.
Copper is coming in and copper ores
or gold ores with considerable per-
centage of copper. cannot be milled

Goldfield il not a smelling point.
There is not enough water at this
time, at least, and while water might
be developed in the flats within our
radius, il is doubtful whether il
would he practical proposition 10
supply the quantities necessary for
large smelling plants. 1t is desira-
BILE. therefore. if indeed not abso-
lutely necessary 10 the future of
Goldfield. that this camp have easily
available smelling points. This was
what the Ely-Goldfield railroad pro-
moters had in mind largely when
they determined to connect up the two
camps Ely would be Goldfield's
smelling point. with haul of only
1870 miles. and a large tonnage i'm
consequence This new railroad will
work a revolution in Goldfield min
ing. The freight rate TO the Ely
smelters promises Ii he low. Treat
ment charges also promise to he low
because of the desirabilty of the
ores. Scores of prospects will grow
into mines under this stimulating in
fuence. and ores of medium grade

lie on the dump unmarketed. will be
available for working capital. In

! ing and skillfully rounding out the
ideas best suited to the case, and inn
proving upon old methods SO that
better results might appear ON the
cost sheets. And it was the diifer-
ence in cost sheets that caused much
discussion when he was slicing, set
ding and caving the hematites OF
Marquette country. He had ideas
about sub-levels and hosting in bal
ance and many other things thai
made old costs look pretty heavy.
Mr.. Coles early experience in
practical railroading has been a
great assistance to him, and has well
repaid him for the strenuous duties
of that vocation. With vigorous
physical makeup and clear head he
has made progress such as few other
men in like lines have achieved.
Lake Superior is justly proud of him,
and while regretting that he is TO
sever his connection with the Steel
corporation is-pleased that he is still
TO retain his residence among us.
Mr. Cole is heavily interested in
copper mining in the states and Mex
leo. He is at the head of several
large producing companies. and has
lately taken on new territory which
is certainly very valuable. With
these holdings he will find plenty 10
occupy his mind and those associated
with him will be delighted that he is
to give them more fully of his rare
experience. In this work Mr.. Cole
takes especial pleasure and that he
will continue TO be a prominent fig
IRE in the mining world is certain.
He is too young a man and too active
to get out of harness. He will not
have the great responsibilities such
as he has been carrying for the past
several years burden the extent and
importance of which few realize. and
one which he has borne untiringly,
with clear mind and wonderful force
and precision, this being unreserved
ly credited 10 him by all of his many
associates. That he will continue
forceful factor in the business world
is certain and that his efforts will
continue successful In the copper
line. or any other he may see fit to
give attention TO, all know. He is
man of wonderful performances and
untifing energy, of big heart, and a
true American citizen.

COMING BACK TO IOWA.

One Iowa paper in single Issue
cited the instances of two former
Iowans who want to come back home.
One of them had gone to California
and the other to New York. They
have heard that there is a revival of
interest in Iowa and they want to be
revived with it. One of them says he
has had enough of the golden west
and Iowa looks better to him now
than it did before he had his expert
ences In other states. The New York
man says that Iowa is good enough
for him and the more he thinks 1t
over the better it seems to him. The
Cedar Rapids Republican well says, in
commenting on the tendency disclosed
by these facts:
The prodigals will return. We be-
lieye that in the next ten years the
tide will be turned in this state and
the tide of population will set Iowa
ward. Thousands have left this state
in the last ten years. They have been
lured away by one thing after another
cheap lands, balmy climates and rosy
prospects. But these men are bound
to learn sooner or later that tine con
ditiOns of life are not changed by q
change in residence. In the golden
west men have to work just as hard
as they do here. Life is not an easy
thing. Men are so constituted thai
many of them think, periodically, tba'
they can better themselves by goinf
somewhere else. All it takes is time
to show that the conditions every
where are about the same and /;
little better in dear old Iowa.

plenty of room in Iowa. Our agricul
tural resources are still in their In
4 fancy and our industries are still
largely undeveloped.

To Restore Old NEGRO Melodies.


Kansas City Star: Success to the

Iowa, At Ottumwa last week 200
colored women delegates to the state
convention of the Iowa federation re-
solved to win their people back to the
old time songs and melodies as against
the aggression OF the rag time fad.
In order to start the movement right,
the convention spent few hours in
singing such songs as Roll, Jordan,
Roll" Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, Z
and other old time melodies that made
the negro songs so popular In other
days. The contrast between the sing

chorus of 200 negro voices and the
present day rag time" songs can
easily be imagined. 1t doesn't require
