CRANKS AND SELF.STARTERS

'Platonic friendship" is the story
. woman puts up to man before. and
the world afterwards.
The love of a man for q woman Is
q perfectly natural phenomenon-to
everyone but the other woman.
What lovely world It would be II
one could recover the money and the
love and the time one has misspent.
The woman who knows Just when
and how to make scene is not nearly
80 clever as the woman who knows
just when and how not to make
scene.
One of the many difficulties in the
arrangements of society woman's
program is to be found in by the right
people and not found out by tho
others.
We all have different ideas of at
tainment-the unworldly may want to
help others, the worldly to help them
selves. And neither wants to be
found out.
It Is absurd to talk of q dead
past" There is no such thing. The
past never dies-only 1t looks so diff
ferent from q distance that 1t il hard
to recognize 1t.
Women are good or bad according
to their opportunities-that Is why
women with red hair and green eyes
are looked upon with suspicion by the
women who never had a chance"
Il Is splendid plan to make q man
run after you, but remember that he
won't 90 on running indefinitely mere
ly out of curiosity or hope. The time
will come when he'll sit down to rest
with someone else.
BY some curious dispensation Of
Providence, If woman with big feet
and woman with small feet start
even, the one with big feet probably
has to walk all the way while the
one with small feet probably finishes
up in an automobile de luxe.

The deal for the sale of the
Savannah group of claims in the
Burro Mountain district is virtually
closed at 100000 cash. Certain
details usually incident to the
completing of a large deal are now
being worked out, when the actual
transfer will take place. While
the option runs to an individual
it is presumed in mining circles
that the Copper Queen people are
the real buyers. The deal does
not include the Savanna's Pinos

retained. Seven hundred thousand

sents $4.62 for the outstanding

All records for monthly pro-
duction of copper in the Lake
Superior district were shattered
during November, during which
practically every mine operated at
capacity. Official figures on the
several companies will not be
available for some time, but from
various sources it is learned that
the output was nearly 10000, 900
pounds. 1t is not believed there
will be any decrease during Decem-
Der and the prediction is being
made that the grand total for the
year will show ESQ, 900, 900 pounds
of copper for the Keeweenaw dis
trict and Ontonagon county.

1t is reported in mining circles
that the Great Northern will build
another ore dock at Allouez Bay.
The Mining Letter was unable to
confirm this yesterday says Skill
ling's Mining Letter.
Duluth & Iron Range, pursuing
its policy of rebuilding wooden ore
docks with steel and concrete, is
going to rebuild No. 2 dock, at
Two Harbors. The new dock will
be equipped with electric hoists,
taking the place of hand hoists,
and new spouts. The company is
going to build new car and paint
shops at Two Harbors. These
shops will be much larger than the
old, and very modern. The Du-
luth & Iron Range will have $500
ore cars ready for use next season.
This includes $50 new cars ordered
lately, along with three heavy
Mikado type of locomotives, and
100 steel underframe fiat cars.
The Duluth, Missabe & North
ern road will have S,446 ore cars
available, including the 200 new
cars now under construction, for
the season of 1916. The new
equipment order also included 200
steel coal cars, and six Santa Fe
type, and two Mallet compound,
locomotives.

A dispatch from Cleveland says
that the selling of lake ores has
continued at a moderate rate dur
ing the past week and sellers are
encouraged to believe that fairly
large tonnages of lake ores will be
taken by eastern furnace operators,
following the example of Mr..
D1nkey, VINO recently purchased a
large block for the Midvale Steel
& Ordnance Co. Although it is
true that local mines are being
worked more actively than ever
before, there is much uncertainty
concerning the shipments of ore
from Cuba and from European
countries on account of the high
freight rates and scarcity of boats.
Hence it is believed that eastern

Something like 40 years ago,
when the production of pig iron in
the United States had reached
100000 tons per year, the pro-
ducers became alarmed for fear it
would become drug on the mar
ket, and some of them might suffer
great losses. They got together
to devise some way of holding
production to safe and profitable
supply. The furnaces of the
United States now produce about
3,SOO,OOO tons per month, as
against 1000, 900 tons year at
the time the pioneer producers
became alarmed at the then pro-
duction, which looked so big to
them. The furnaces now produce
in less than 20 days as much as
the furnaces of 40 years ago pro-
duced in a year.
