THE NEW ORE.
One of Andrew Carnegie's Early Iron
Experiences.

Experiences.
Andrew Carnegie once stated that
short time after the starting of his
first plant in Pittsburg he had an odd
experience with iron ore.
II was offered some ore that sam
pied about the usual grade, so far as
I was able to judge from appearances,
at a reduced price" he said Il bought
several thousand tons-a big order for
those days The second day after we
commenced to run it the foreman came
to the office and told me the new ore
was of no account, that it did not flow
and that the furnaces were so chOked
they would have to be dumped unless
some remedy was found. Those fires
were built to last two years, and TO
dump them at this time would mean
so heavy a loss as to practically put
me out of business. A young chemist

Drake orainaae Gill.

The Drake drainage bill was passed
for third reading In the Senate Friday
after sharp discussion, which revolved
upon the point Of whether. or not. un-
der the bill, drawn by Frank c. Goudy
and presented by Senator Drake. drain
age districts could be formed on the
eastern slope to draw water from the
western slope headwaters and divert
it to the plains east and north Of Den
yer. The Drake bill provides that
drainage districts may carry water
from ono watershed to another. Sena-
tor Napier declared this would allow
the eastern slope men to steal water
from the western slope and introduced
an amendment, which he said was
written in the handwriting and bore
the signature Of the framer of the bill,
Frank c. Goudy, which declared that
water could not be diverted from one
watershed to another by drainage dis
tricts. Senator Napier's amendment
was lost by q vote Of 13 to II and the
bill favorably recommended.
