Troop Notes

The troop was inspected by Col. A. NJ. Tuthillf lst Infantry last Sunday morning at a. m. in which the troop CTS made a good showing. After the inspection the troop was marched to the rife range in Gold Gulch, where every trooper was required to practice on the short and middle ranges. A ant Quarter masters sergeant, A. C.. Livingston, in the cool retreat of the Lone Star tunnel.
 The Quarter masters sergeant, came to camp to hire T man to assist in running the targets, and succeeded in when he was shown his duties persist ed in kneeling down facing the pit wall.
 One low shot fired by the latest Rookie managed to penetrate part of the parapet and passed on through the steel target frame, and scattering numerous small particles of stone, which landed on the face and person of Cook George Gravely, and infiict- ing several slight flesh wounds, and the cook did not know for a minute or two but that the battle of San Juan was being fought over, however, the wounds were not serious.
 Gene Swacker came over from Met calf with trooper Lyman to witness the target practice.
 w. O. Ashley and son were also visitors on the range.

Greatest Steel
 Cuput In 1910  ~~s Ore Productions Broke All Pre- vlCus Records, Says U. 5. ss GeolO.ist

The iron and steel industry in the Emitted States in 1910 broke all previ- pus records. according to Ernest F. Burchard, of the United States Geo. logical Survey. The iron ore produc- non was 56, ,SSs. 7S4 long tons. the pig ron production. ? 7.303.567 tons. and the steel production. 26.094.959 tons.
 These figures show increases over the production in 1909 of iron ore. D. 1s4, ,297 tons: pig iron. 1,50S,096 tons; steel. 2,l39.S98 tons.
 in 1910 was $140. .735.607. as against BIOS, ,s6l 1903 for 1909. and that of pig Iron was $425. .115.235. as against $4l9,- i75.OO In 1.O9. Iron ore was mined Tn twenty-eight States in 1910.
 During 1910 of the 45f iron ore mines In operation. lsl mines produced over 50.0O0 long tons each, the largest quap- fity produced by a single mine being B.l9o, ,093 tons. by the Hull-Rust mine, If the Mesabi range, Minnesota. Nine mif,es in Minnesota. besides one group of mines in Michigan and one group In Alabama, produced more than l. D00. .000l tons each. the second greatest The Reda Mountain group of mines near Birmfngham, Ala Twenty-fiye mines Droduced more than 500,000 tons each. i,
 Importations of iron ore In 1910 were khe greatest in the history of the fn- dustry,, being 2.59l.031 tons, valued at l7.S32. .226. Exports were 644,S75 tons, valued at $2.074, 4,164. Figures showing the foreign production of iron ore are not yet available for 1910.
 No other country produced so much as d million tons. It will be seen that the United States produced near y 6ne-half of the total of the worlds
 Tn steel production In 1910 Pennsyl- vania led all States, with s13,207, 539 long fons. and Ohio came second with 5,- 060S08 tons. The total production of the United States was 26.O94,sls tons.
