Hendrickson's feat has been barred
at some of the hills of western ski

at 1ronwood, Mich, last Sunday, how
ever, making jump Of ITO feet and

fled the big crowd at the Ironwood
hill. It cheered and shouted it's ap-

Hendrickson is an old time acrobat
and wat with Barnum & Bailey's
circus for number Of years. He
plans to make his initial try of the
double somersault on some of the

fident he can successfully turn the
trick. He is at present riding at tour
naments through Wisconsin and Mich

the new trick may be made on the

From Tuesdays Daily.
That there will no change in the
base prices Of iron ore over the prices
prevailing during 1913, $4.15 ton
for Mesaba Bessemer, and $3.40 for
Non Bessemer ore, is the general
opinion. expressed by Mesaba range
mining men.
Eastern furnace men have been
sending inquiries to the range during
the last few weeks for ore for delivery
at lower lake ports, but no large con-
tracts have yet been reported closed.
Prices Expected Soon.
1t is believed that the price of ore
will be fixed in the next few weeks,
however. The prices for ore for 1918
delivery were fixed in December of
1912, earlier than ever before in the
history of the iron trade.
Earlier in the season eastern fur
nacemen hoped to be able to shade
the 1913 prices on account Of the
general condition of the trade, but
as the shipping season approaches
it is more apparent that there will
be slight if any changes in the prices
of last season.
