Iron Mountain Changes Owners.
(Farmington Times.)


Capt J. w. Elledge, who recently pur-
chased the Iron Mountain mining pro-
perty, and who since his ownership
has been getting that property in
condition for advantageous mining of
the excessively rich iron ore that is
still abundant there, last week sold
the property to an eastern corpora
ton of unlimited capital, and The Times
is informed that the new owners will
continue work there on a considerably
enlarged scale, and the prospects are
that Iron Mountain will soon take on
activities even greater than those of
its palmiest days, when many millions
of dollars were extracted from its
great mineral wealth.
Whether or not this is true, Capt.
Elledge appears to have been able to
handle the great property advantage
ously to himself, as the report is that
he has cleaned up abont $250,900 in
the sale, which he doubtless felt was
good enough, rather than continue in
control, with the great responsibility
such control would of necessity entail.
He is no longer young, and tits alto
gether likely that he felt that was a
sufficient margin of profit at the pre-
sent stage of development of those
mines, in which he is confident there
are still many millions of dollars
worth of the richest iron ore that has
eveRbeen discovered. In fact, this ore
is SO rich and SO pure that it does not
need to be smelted, but goes right in
to the ovens in its natural state.
The new corporation, which is re-
puted to be enormously wealthy, is
expected to at once continue opera
tions which will doubtless soon result
in the rehabilitation of Iron Mountain,
and it would not be surprising if an
other great mining town does not soon
spring up there again, even larger and
more prosperous than was the original
Iron Mountain. When this condition
of affairs again obtains there, that
community, which for number of
| years has been almost depopulated,
will again bloom and blossom and all
it's inhabitants will be prosperous and
happy. This is exactly as it should be,
with that great mountain of rich ore
| awaiting development. 1t doubtless
contains more actual wealth-real pro-
| fit to the producer than all the lead
mines in the entire Mama, Okla, fields,
even though these enormous deposits
have been passed by for years, by our
own people, in their search for that
fabled pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow.
Here's to the abundant success OF
the new operators of Iron Mountain,
and to the growth, and much greater
growth of the town-city it may soon
| be-of IronM ountain.

New Vegetable Sweet.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Manufacture
of malt sugar sirup promises not only
to relieve the present shortage and
prevent future scarcity of sugar, but
also to provide profitable use for the
plants and machinery formerly used in
the brewing of beer. This is a new
sweet which has been put on com
mercial basis at the psychological
moment, says the specialist of the De-
partment of Agriculture, by whom in
vestigations of various substitutes for
sugar have been conducted.
In addition to being sweet, malt
sugar sirup has delicious flavor
somewhat like that of honey, the
chemist say. This quality adds to its
palatableness and value as substitute
for sugar.
Malt sugar sirup has long been
known to chemists, but its production
on commercial basis has only lately

success. Two factors have tended tc
stimulate it's manufacture The short
age Of ordinary sugar has developed
market for substitutes, and the de-
crease in the use Of grains for brewing
has afforded plentiful raw materials.
1t is announced by investigators o.
the Department of Agriculture tha
with very little change brewing plantl
may be devoted to the manufacture
of this new sweet. Up to certain
point the process for making NAL
sugar sirup is identical with that o
brewing beer. Evaporating pans arr

Malt sugar Is already being sold il

CAMDEN, ARK, Nov. 2, 1918.
Editor Iron Co. Registrars it is
Sunday and I am side tracked on tie
train and nothing to do, will give
you little history of my adventures
in Arkansas. I left Ironton October
10th, 1925 A. M, arrived in Little Rock
the following morning, reported to
Mr.. Homer Rudy, and was sent to Pine
Bluff; arriving there at $3.50 P. M
Boarded tie train $50 A. NJ. October
Goth, which carried crew of 80 color
ed boys of the Sunny South. We then
went to Risin, Arkansas. Then tie
loading began. We have covered AZ
miles since we began loading and have
loaded about $4,000 cross ties up to
date-and mostly pine ties. We are
now 475 miles from st. Louis. Our
cars are now standing within 200 feet
of the Ouachita River.
have very ccsey little room in
one end of the car. The Boss of the
train is very fine man. We were in
g town last week called Kingsland-
quite cotton town. saw men COM
ing with loads of cotton which sold
for $500; cotton was selling there at
40 cents per pound. At Pine Bluff it
brought so cents, cotton seed $73 per
ton.
1t has been raining so much the last
month that the cotton pickers could
not get their cotton picked. have
seen millions of dollars worth of lum-
ber since have been in this State,
We are supposed to take up ties clear
through to Texarkana, which is about
50 miles from Camden. Then don't
know where we will go.
Invent to Little Rock last Saturday
night and spent the day with my wife's
cousin, Mr.. N. B. Pyle. We took a
spin to Camp Pike, over the best road
I saw. They have quite number OF
men there yet. One has no idea of the
expenditure of money in the building
of a cantonment unless he makes q
visit to one. spent two hours Sun
day night at the Union Station, Little
Rock, watching the trains arrive and
depart. When l boarded the train |
found four more tie men on the same
train; among them were o. O. Lucy's
son of Piedmont and Mr.. Jack McFall
of Des Arc, Missouri. Mr.. McFall is
working in Louisiana. am what they
calla tie chueker on the Cotton Bslt
tie train.
We have had no frost yet; just a lit
tie cool last night, and the first clear
night have seen since left Missouri:
every thing is as green as midsummer
and flowers to loan. Laborers are very
scarce in this part of the country and
labor plentiful on account of the mill
ing industries. The negroes load ties
by the. day; just think of 80 men only
loading from five to eight cars of tief
per day! Five men loaded three cars
for me in Hogan, Missouri, per day
If had ten men like our Missouri
bunch, could move more than the &c
men do down here. Well, Uncle Eli
if this escapes the waste basket may
come again.

ment which was becoming too nu-
merous to be much longer ignored.
Ten days before election both
sides recognized that two or three
majority would be the best either
candidate could hope for. The old
timers friends were hoping for a
good cow-barn fire at which the live
stock would be saved. thus uniting
the old-timers and winning the SYM
pathy of the new commuters.
THE hackers of the commuter can
didate wanted him TO send over TO
Paradise and borrow Gus's helmet
and dazzle the old timers. but both
candidates were men VINO would
scorn to win except on real merit.
"A week before the election both
sides made a thorough canvass and
each arrived at the same result. The
canvass showed IS for the old timer
and Is for the commuter-and one

Then the campaign TO win Hens

at 10 p. NJ. he had promised one
worker to vote for the old timer and
at IL p. NJ. had indistinctly but with
great emphasis reaffiTTned his prom
ise TO the other old timer.
"The Jubilation among the old
timers over this report lasted only a
day. for the following day 1t was
