600, 900 tons, Lake Superior states
? 600, 900 900 tons, Rocky Min.
states 100, 900, 900 tons, Pacific
states 700 900 900 tons,
The United States Geological
survey report further says:
"The draft on the ore reserves
of the Lake Superior district is
relatively much heavier than on
those of the other districts, on ac-
count of the possibility of open pit
mining on tie hiesaba and Guyana
ranges and the low cost of trans
porting the ore to coal fields. The
Lake district normally produces
over four ffths of the iron ore
mined in the United States, and it
has been estimated that if this pro-
portion and present rate of increase
are both maintained the known ore
reserves of present commercial
grade in the United States portion
of the Lake Superior district can
not last much longer beyond the
the year 1880. There are certain
factors, however. that indicate the
possibility of a considerable pro-
longation of the life of the Lake
Superior iron ore supplies, as well
as those of the whole United States.
If the cons umption should continue
at the present rate with no further
increase, the estimated reserves of
present commercial grade in the
United States would probably be
sufficient for $50 years. "

ing of Oct. sd. The orthodox Jews
continue their observance through
the second day. This holy day IS
one of the most important in the
Jewish calender. The Jew observes
it, not as a day Of rejoicing merely,
but as a day of remembrance, on
which be is reminded Of his duty
and responsibility as a man and a
citizen. Bearing out the Biblical
reference, Lev. XIII, u, the

Of his obligations to his fellow men.

Wisconsin Pays Prisoners.

Upwards of s23, 500 is on deposit
in the banks at Waupun awaiting
the discharge of prisoners now in
the state prison. This was the
statement of former Warden Henry
Town on Friday in discussing the
Wisconsin idea in paying prisoners.
Each prisoner at Waupun re
ceives three cents q day for eao h
days work the first year, said
Mr.. Town.
After the first year his pay is
reduced to one cent a day The
highest amount that l remember
any prisoner receiving upon dis
charge was close to SIoo. This
was due however, TO the fact that
we allow liberal pay for extra and
overtimework in various capacities.
The result of all this is that no
prisoner leaves the gates without
at least So in addition TO his free
citizens clothes. In the winter we,
of course, furnish an overcoat in
addition. At all times he receives
free transportation back to the
town where he was convicted and
sentenced to Waupun.
While many states give man
but FIVE dollar bill when he leaves
prison regardless of the time he
has spent, It's said that the Wis
con system has the approval of all
prison authorities 1t furnishes a
sufficient sum of money, in many
cases, so that men and women can
take care of themselves for the
period of readjustments following
release after long confinement.
