nation In what is known as Meadow
mountain. Becoming interested he
began to investigate and soon came
upon nodules of ore known to geo
logists as iron ore float" and after
careful investigation reached the
conclusion that there were valuable
deposits of iron ore in the mountain
and vicinity.
In summing up his findings the
engineer says: 1T is not a dissem
mated body of ore, but is an immense
mass of iron ore with the dross burn
ed out, hundreds of millions Of tons,
not excelled By any ore mined in the
United States today in high percen-
tage Of metallic iron, and It's purity
a true Bessemer ore"
More than fifty assays have been
made from samples taken from as
many different places by eminent
chemists, including the chemist Of
the University Of Pittsburg, showing
an average percentage of metallic
iron ranging from 81 to GO per cent.

BIG FIND OF IRON ORE
Billions Of Tons Of Hematlte Found
In Pennsylvania

New York, March pa Pitts
burgh despatch to the Sun says:
An immense deposit of highest
grade iron ore, conservatively esti-
mated at more than billion tons,
has been found in the heart of Penn
sylvania. The mother lode OF red
hematite ore which scientists for
many years have believed lay some
where in southern Pennsylvania has
been located almost at the door of
the largest steel and iron industries
in the world. 1t is said by geolo-
gists and engineers who have made
investigation that It Is the most
startling discovery since the discov.
cry of gold in 1849 and is destined
to. mark new era in the steel and
iron industry Of this country. The
ore is in Ayr Township, Fulton coun.
ty, in three spurs of the Blue Ridge
mountains known as Meadow Ground
mountains, Lowry's Knob and Dick
lie mountain, one hundred miles from
Baltimore, two hundred miles from
Philadelphia and two hundred and
forty miles by rail from Pittsburgh
The most remarkable thing about
it is the fact that there are three
kinds of ore: red hematite, estimated
at more than 250,000,000, brown hem
attic in about the same quantity, ant
carbonate Of iron to the extent o
more than half a billion tons. Near
by are immense deposits of the bes
limestone and plenty Of water, S,

Of iron is on the ground except coal

PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION FOR NEW JERSEY FIRST ON HIS
 PROGRAM OF ACTIVITY.
NO APPOINTMENT DECIDED
Up Task of Filling National Offices-Has Reputa-
 tion for Luck.

New York. Dec. 17.-President-ele Wilson returned from his vacation trip to Bermuda. The steamship Der mudian which carried him and his marty docked here a few minutes after Sa. m Monday.
 I'm going to devote myself to New Jersey affairs" the governor said.
 After a few hours in New York he planned to go direct to his home in Princeton, to be on hand at the state house in Trenton for the regular budget of state business.
 The president-elect brought with him his annual message to the New Jersey legislature, which meets on January l. It embodies every plank in the Democratic state platform. New Jersey is just now paramount in the governors mind, and it is quite likely that until he is able to complete his program of progressive legislation he will not only continue in office as governor, but will not take up many of the preliminary tasks of office-till ing with respect to his presidential administration.
 Docks as Fog Lifts.
 As to appointments, Gov. Wilson ad- mits that while selections have been running through his mind, he has not decided on any post of importance and has not even chosen a private sec retary.
 The fog was just lifting when the Bermudian docked and it was much too early for crowd to gather, but few friends were at the pier, among them the governors secretary. Joseph P. Tumulty, and reception commit tee headed by Dudley Field Malone.

Reputation for Luck.

During the trip up from Bermuda the ocean was smooth. Not since Gov. Wilson was en route to Bermuda four weeks ago had there been such calm. hence the president-elect acquired with the sailors a reputation for luck.
 Not only did the Bermudian exceed all her past records for the north. bound voyage, but with the exception of half hour just outside the Der muda Reefs, when the ship pitched into a heavy land swell there was hardly a wave to disturb her.
