Work Progressing

Work upon the foundation of
two electric furnaces at the u. S.
Steel plant has begun. They are
being located about 900 feet from
the battery of seven open hearth
affairs.
The foundations as already exca-
waited are of unusual depth, being
between IS and 40 feet. The dis
tinct feature about them is that
they will be interspersed with a
network of wire, some 100 tons of
which is on the ground for use in
that preliminary operation.
These furnaces will be the pro-
duct of about two years expert
menting. resulting in the correction
of defects that at the outset militat-
ed against the introduction of cleo
tricity for bringing down iron from
ores on the ground of excessive
costs under methods originally
tried. -Four years ago, extensive
experiments were made in that

system at the $780, the Canadian
government regarding the matter
as so important that it made a lib
eral appropriation, which was ex-
pended in carrying them through.
The results af several months tests
demonstrated that, while electric
smelling was mechanically possible
it could not be a commercial sue
cess under the methods then tried
The United States Steel corpor-
atoms experts subsequently took a
hand in the game, and finally sol
we'd the problem that in the first
place baffled the original inventor.
Iron under the new process can,
it is stated, be produced at a con-
siderable cost shading under that
of the standard coal and coke fur
naces.
The Duluth plant will be the
first to introduce system that
may ultimately bring about rev.
olution in the steel trade.
Good progress is being made up.
on the superstructures for the
seven open hearth furnaces.
A considerable portion of the
steel is up on each and the brick.
work is proceeding rapidly.
The equipment for the large ma
chine shop is being installed, and
that department is expected to be
in operation in the course of
short time now.
The visitor to the plant these
times would be amazed to note the
number of new foundations going
in, some of which it is alleged dc
not appear on the original plans.
Steel for the superstructures is
steadily arriving on the ground, il
including much of the heavy stuff
for which the American Steel com
pany's force had been waiting
From now on as the buildings are
reared up, the public will be better
able to appreciate the extent Of
ground covered by the plant.

A New Composition

'Strenolith' is the name given
new composition which is destin-
ed to supplant, in many cases,
portland cement and masonry. 1t
is composed largely of common
earth, in combination with other
Inexpensive ingredients, and the
whole forms an artificial stone that
is claimed to be harder than con-
crete, an absolute non-conductor of
heat or cold, and a perfect insulat-
or against electric currents. Used
as base for asphalt in street-pav-
ing, it is especially recommended,
as being far more economical than
cement, quickly and easily mixed,
and requiring less tamping. Being
impervious to water, it is claimed
that its use obviates the cracking
and heaving, which sooner or later
render repairs necessary. Further,
it requires but an inch and a half
of asphalt to make perfect and
permanent road surface. It is re-
commended for many other pur-
poses, such as building blocks,
railroad ties, sewer pipes, etc., but
if it fulflls its main, purpose as a
paving material, it will find an il
limitable field.-Iron Trade Re-
view.

Killing DandeliOns

The most effective and practical
method of clearing a dandelior
infested lawn, other than by hand
digging, is by the use of iron sui
phate applied as a spray. The
writer has succeeded with three
applications in entirely killing all
plants of this common lawn pest
A portion of lawn so badly infest.
ed that hardly anything but
dandelions was visible year ago is
now within single plant, and the
grass has thickened a good deal in
consequence.
A solution of copperas or iron
sulphate made by dissolving at the
rate of N pounds of the salt in a
gallon of water should be applied
to the lawn with spray pump so
as to wet every plant. 1t will not
do to use a common sprinkler. The
solution must be put on in the
form of a fine spray applied with
some force to be most effective. A
common bucket, spray pump, or
even hand atomizer for very small
areas, is sutible, providing it
makes fine, forcible spray. Do
not try to hit the dandelions only,
but cover every square inch of the
lawn. In this way all seeding
plants will be killed. Put on a sec
on application in two or three
weeks and a third and possibly
fourth late in summer if any of the
dandelions start into growth. The
grass will be blackened for short
time, but soon RECEIVERS, and after
a watering and moving will appear
darker green than before. Do not
allow the solution to get on cement
or stone walks as it produces a
rather permanent, yellow stain.--B.

tural College.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-07-21

By noticing the title page OF this
issue it will be seen that the MINER
begins the seventeenth year OF its
existance and will soon be old
enough to speak out in open meet
ing. Besides meaning that we
have put in sixteen years OF Ely
newspaper ups and downs it also
means that for the same number OF
years, the paper has labored for the
interests of Ely and its people. AT
no time during all these years has
the MINER, at any time, published
anything Intentionally calculated
to injure or reflect on the stability
of the city or any of its people.
For this we have been censured
by some. Every community has
knockers" and scandal-mongers,
parasites both, that gloat over the
misfortunes that befall their neigh
bors and are ever ready in their
attempt to drag down unfortunates.
Right here we wish to state, how
ever, that the MINER will not be a
party in the nefarious work of ruin
ing man or woman's character
just simply to furnish he and she
gossips with choice morsel for
their favorite dish. AS everybody
in a country town seems to know
everybody's business much better
than does the party conducting it,
we see no honor in heralding our
misdeeds to the world at large and
will not do it if we can help it.
Matters of public nature are le-
gitimate topics open for discussion
in print but why Jones left home"
is Jones business exclusively in
which the world, outside of Jones
and those interested, have nothing
to offer.
During the sixteen years we have
published the MINER in Ely, we
have made many friends and also
some enemies for both of which we
are truly thankful. Our friends
have stuck to us and our enemies
have quit us, two conditions very
gratifying to the editor.
1t has been said that "a man
without enemies is without back
bone and useless to any community.
To criticize is not to find fault and
if it We're not for the kicker no
reforms would follow" These
words are true in a sense.
The newspaper is expected to be
the goat" through which every
invertaebrate in the community
can air his grievances at the ex-
pense of the editor. The MINER
will publish all communications
relating to public affairs that con-
form somewhat with the moral
code established in newspaper
Offices providing the party sending
them in will sign his full name and
stand with the utterances. We
need your name as a guarantee of
good faith and to protect ourselves
and our readers from anonymous
character robbers. If your wish
bone is located where your back
bone should be, don't send it.
Communications of a personal
nature and having no bearing on
official or public matters are not
wanted.
The MINER will continue to
boost Ely, one of the best towns in
the northwest and is always willing
to help legitimate undertakings
that have tendency to better the
community and its people. The
paper is Republican in principal,
believing this the party of progress
and push and will stand with all
fairminded principles of either
party. No red-faggers need apply
however. This country is alto
gether to good for this class of
believers and the Stars and Stripes
as an emblem is sufficient for the
U. S. Cut out the anarchistic rag,
