FISHING FOR IRON.

In Sweden the bottoms OF many lakes
are covered to a thickness or some SIX

and phosphate of iron, clay sand ana
other impurities; and II IS said TO Yield

Very primitive methods are employed

cut in the ice, a scraper attached on
long pole is inserted and all ore within
reach is collected.
This curious kind OF mining is con-
Quoted in a similar manner in summer

WARM PRIMARY
FIGHT IN OHIO

COLUMBUS. o., May S.-Until May q,
the day on which all delegates from this
State TO the Chicago convention will be
chosen, Ohio will fairly sizzle with
politics. The State becomes the great
battle-ground of the campaign, for the
feeling is widespread that here is the
field upon which the probably decisive
battle Of the campaign will be fought.
Among the larger States Ohio is one
of the last to choose her delegates. She
else Influence on the popular choice else
where, as Illinois and Pennsylvania have
done; but she can have an even weightier
effect on the final result.
II President Taft should carry Ohio
by an majority, by as great a
margin according to the number of votes
cast as Roosevelt carried Illinois, the
moral effect of his victory would be
strongly felt at Chicago. The national
Republican committee, which would hav
to decide the numerous contests, would
be influenced by the result; so also
would the uninstructed delegates and the
Southern delegates. A Roosevelt victory
in Ohio would nave exactly the opposite
effect. 1t would give the colonel a big
advantage at Chicago.
Thus Ohio becomes the battle-ground.
Both President Taft and Colonel Roose-
welt will make many speeches In the
Buckeye State before May q, and Ohio
will be fairly overwhelmed with SPELL
binders The President Will be ably as

Residents Managers Have
Been Taught to Dread
ColoneI's Speeches.

Realizing the Importance Of the Dri-
mars LATHE in New Jersey, the campaign
mcDaorfs. of the Taft and Roosevelt
forces are making plans TO have their
stanaard bearers tour the State several
times before the election. IL has already
beer. announced by the Roosevelt League
OF New Jersey that the colonel Will make
q whirlwind trip around he State and
probably return n few days before the
primaries.
The question of bringing the President
here again was discussed last night at a
meeting of the executive committee of
she Taft League at Achtel-Stetter's. The
vote of New Jersey in the Republican
National Convention has assumed greater
Importance than in times past on account
of the unexpected strength shown by
Roosevelt and the large number OF dele
gates he has already pledged TO his
cause. 1t is not impossible that the
twenty eight votes from New Jersey may
decide the issue at Chicago. Hence. the
battle lines will be drawn closer from
now on and neither side proposes TO let
an inch of ground go by default.
