Even before the briefly amazed and to-
tally unconscious driver hit the floor of
the pier, bedlam broke loose. Some one
yelled "Fight!" There was a wild rush
OF longshoremen, cargo guards, and Gus
toms men to the scene of action.
And there was action aplenty for a
few seconds. Jimmy venomously threw
himself on the PROSTATE form of the un-
fortunate truck driver and wrestled
nightly. When he rose it was to stare
into ring Of excited faces, marking
particularly the watchman who had been
fixed, the anemic checker who was trem-
bling, and two or three members Of the
Chelsea gang who stared open mouthed
Jimmy spoke harshly of his late op-
ponent's ancestry and informed the by
ISLANDERS that the man had foully insult
ed him. 'I just hadda hit him, fellers, "
defended Mr.. Lynn. ct sure did"
A hoarse voice grated in Jimmy's ear
you played hell-that's what you done
That bird has got the fake pass your old
man give him-and now we can't get this
truck of the pier"
Jimmy was laughing to himself. Here
was thrill and adventure-and triumph
Of which his gangmates knew nothing
The danger to John Shane had been the
discovery of his participation. 1t was al
very well to say that should discovery en-
] sue, the checker would be the victim o1

he started through the gates on to the
vast, silent pier. At the entrance he en-
countered the broad shouldered form OF
his stepfather
'shane-you amt goin' through with
it, are you?"
"Surest thing you know, Jimmy"
Jimmy disdained further remarks, but
as he paused midway of the pier his
thoughts were not Of his work, nor Of
the lace theft about to be negotiated.
Even when the deck boss-a fiorid, blus-
terry man-strolled by and whispered out
of the corner of his mouth that every
thing was all set, Jimmy merely nodded
and the superior gentleman was deluded
into the belief that Jimmy's preoccupa-
ton was merely attention to his sup
posed nefariouS labors.
Eight o'clock and work started with a
screaming of winches, the thudding Of
cargo as the huge slings kerdumped to
the floor Of the pier, the clangor and
clatter and splutter Of trucks winding in
and out through a maze of congested
traffic, the hoarse shouts Of longshOre-
men and drivers and cargo guards.
Outside the huge pier trucks were wait
ing patiently in line. Those drivers who
expected to be allowed through immedi-
ately had already secured preliminary
passes from the gateman which let them
through to the musty little Office Of the

THE STORY so FAR

Jimmy Lynn, a young longshoreman en-
ployed on the docks in the Chelsea district
of New York, engages frequently in thefts
of merchandise from the waterfront He
is considerably discounted when he finds
that his mother is to marry John Shane,
dock watchman, and fears that Shane viii
inform his mother Of his participation in
the theftS. However, Shane does not inter
fere with Jimmy'S activities. AS Shane ap-
pears to be very honest, Jimmy is quite in
dignant when he learns that Shane is to
assist in the theft Of very valuable case
of lace. Jimmy demonstrates with Shane,
pointing out the grief and trouble it would
cause his mother should Shane be appre-
hended. But Shane refers to JimmyS own
life of crime and tells him that what is
good for one is good for the other. Jimmy
determines to protect Shane for his moth
ers sake but has not arrived at a solution
the morning the steal is to take place.
And now the story
Jimmy almost determined to squeal
Almost, but not quite. It would be SIM
pie that way; he could go to Chris Dor
gan, the grizzled pier superintendent
and betray the scheme, asking as his re-
ward immunity for Shane.
But Jimmy knew all along that he'o
never go through with that scheme. The
tenets Of the gang had been too deeply
craven. Squealing was, to his way ot

thinking, the one unforgivable sin. Be-
sides, it was grossly dangerous; not that
Jimmy feared danger particularly, but it
is one thing to fight a menace and quite
upon ones self.
slumber came to him, broken at six
O'Clock by the wild alarm of the cheap
timepiece on the mantel. AS he rose
and stepped into the crude habiliments
of a longshoreman, he could hear Shane
numbering about the next room and then
the sound Of Kate bustling happily in
the kitchen. She was singing softly
and while Jimmy would have denied hot
ly that there was any sentimental strain
in him, the sound of that carefree hum
ming decided him.

Saves Tot from Drowning

John Lowell, small son of Mr. and Mrs
Edward Lowell, Anaconda, proved to be
real hero a few days ago when he
jumped in Warm Springs creek to rescue
-year-old Reecia May Evans who was
struggling in the water into which she
had fallen and was unable to get to the
shore. When the Lowell boy got the girl
to the side of the rushing creek she was
unconscious. After first aid treatment
had been given her she was taken to
the home Of her parents, who gratefully
rewarded the little hero.

1926 AND 1927 ROAD FUNDS IN THE
FOURTH DISTRICT.

We hold no brief for Commits
sioner Jacob L. Pete of the Fourth
district, more than that we believe
the commissionership should be
held by an Ely man and that the
main Office of the district should be
in this city. Neither do we believe
that the preceding commissioner
performed any acts detrimental to
this city and the district. However,
we are somewhat fed up on the ru-
mors that are being circulated by
someone, at present not as yet
clearly defined but surmised at with
considerable accuracy.
Two weeks ago a car load of
young men from Cook arrived in
the city and asked for work on the
roads in the district. They stated
that they had been informed 'that
Commissioner Pete intended to
spend all the money available in
the vicinity of Ely and that nothing
would be done anywhere else in the
district" The young men were
given information which caused
them to think otherwise and they
returned to their homes in good
humor. They could clearly see that
some one had deliberately "sicked
them on to Ely" with Interior
motives.
On interviewing several people
from all sections of the district it

1000 YEARS ADDED
MINING INDUSTRY
MINNESOTA SCHOOL OF MINES
EXPERIMENT STATION PER-
FECTING FURNACE FOR LOW
GRADE ORE-PIONEER PRESS
COMMENTS ON WORK.

A few weeks ago a delegation
from the Minnesota Legislature
journeyed to the University Of Min
nesota School of Mines experiment
station. The lawmakers wanted to
know what had been done with
100000 the schools experiment sta
ton had been given for expert
mental purposes two years ago, and
why it should be asking for another
special appropriation of 100000.
Mr.. w. E. Davis, superintendent
of the station, showed the visitors
a strange machine, a device con-
trived at the station under his SUI
pervision which is expected to revo-
lutionize Minnesota's iron mining in
dustry. His demonstration and ex-
PLANTATION satisfied the visiting SOL
ons and the new appropriation was
duly granted.

is what the device really is, thew
shovel iron ore, limestone and cheap
coal, and out of it comes crude iron

is learned that all sections and all
roads are receiving their share of
the limited funds as occasions de-
mand. Last week, in answer to the
taxpayers league of Duluth we
showed that the percentage of ex-
penditures in this district was much
lower than in any other district of
the county. We also showed where
the district began business on the
first of the year in debt. In addi-
-tion to this some $4,000, yearly al
lotted to the district and known as
special funds for special occasions,
such as the Ely-Finland road, ETC.,
had not been asked for by the out
going commissioner and he had no
money for special roads, portages,
and such other matters as come in
this category.
Then the report which bobbed up
regularly among those who had
failed investigate that more money
was available this year than last,
did not set very well and we took
the matter up with the result that
the county aua .Utested to the
following table of figures which ex-
plain themselves to all who will give
them an analysis. The figures are
for the year 1926 and the first six
months of 1927. Look at them and
see what you make of it. In 1926
the district business was as follows:
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1927-07-22

The Federal statute which makes
leaving a camp fire or brush fire In
or near a Federal forest without
sotally extinguishing it, a criminal
otfense if National Forest timber
land is endangered, has been upheld
: constitutional by the Supreme
Court OIL the United States. In
handing down the opinion OF the
Court, Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes said: ''The purpose OF the
Act is to prevent forest fires which
have been one of the great economic
misfortunes of this country. The
danger depends upon the nearness
of the fire; not upon the ownership
of the land where it is built------
Taken in connection with the dan
ger to be prevented it (the statute
requiring fires to be extinguished)
lays down a plain enough rule OF
conduct for anyone who seeks to
obey the law"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1927-07-22

or a corresponding quantity of
North Dakota Ignite, a saving of
several dollars on each ton Of iron
produced.
That new furnace is the big thing
the station has to show for its $780,
600 appropriation. 1t sought the
new appropriation to perfect the de-
vice commercially. When that is
done, benefits are expected to ac-
crue to Minnesota that at present
are difficult to calculate.
1t will increase the life of the
mining industry in the state from a
present estimated maximum of 25
years to at least 1000 years.
It will triple the number Of men
employed in the industry.
1t will give a commercial value
t some 10000, 900, 600 tons Of low
grade ore in the state that hereto
fore have been regarded as virtually
waste. This ore lies in vast areas
all over the iron ranges. 1t tests
only rs to 40 per rent iron whereas
in order to be worth shipping to
eastern mills at the present time,
Minnesota ore must have an iron
sontent of at east 60 per rent.
1t will give very real value to
thousands of arres of land, the
value of which now is only specu-
lative.
1t will increase the states reve-
nue. by putting those lands on the
tax rolls as merchantable ore.
1t will give the state a new type
of industry by metalizing the iron
at home instead of shipping it to
lower lake ports to be reduced. The
value of iron ore is about SO to 81
a ton at Duluth-Superior docks. The
value of crude iron is SIS to 500
a ton.
1t will furnish a use for millions
of tons of cheap coal, particularly
the vast Ignite fields of the Da-
kotas.
1t will give operators of those
fields the opportunity to develop
an industry in by-products such as
benzol, and perhaps gasoline.
While the most important prob
lem in connection with the new
furnace has been solved, there will
remain one big one, Mr.. Davis ex-
planned to the legislators. That is
the designing of exactly the right |
type of furnace for the new
process.
"We know" he explained, 'rhat |
cur process is sound chemically and
netallurgically. We knew that we
IAN produce a ton of crude iron
18th cheaper materials than with |
he old blast furnace process.
I'VE have done that successfully
IN small scale with our present. ex-
detrimental furnace. What we don't
lrow yet is how much ton the
process is going to cost when OPP
rated on large scale, or just ex-
city how we must construct our
urnace. There are a hundred and
ne details to be worked out.

glad to take up the new process.
Several already have shown great
interest, but we don't care to sub
NIT any plan to them until we have
fully satisfied ourselves as to its
commercial practicability. That is
our problem for the next two years.
Minnesota's annual output of ore
is about 100000 tons. ALI of this
is shipped down the lakes in its
natural state except about 100000
tons, which is converted at Duluth
into nails, fences and rails. Last
year the Mesaba range turned out
1913, 448 tons, the Guyana range,
2,089,528 tons, and the Vermilion
range, 100000 tons. State owned
u ines produced 10yO17,536 tons of
the total.
CAT present." Mr.. Davis said, ex-
planning the process of making
crude iron, call our iron ore is
changed into iron by the blast fur
mace process. A blast furnace is
similar to a chimney Is feet in d.
ameter and 100 feet high, which is
kept full with mixture of coke and
ere. Large quantities Of air are
blown into this stack near the bot
tom, thus causing the coke to burn
and produce a very high tenpera-
ture near the point where tho air
enters.
The gases produced by burning
the coke pass up through the ere
and coke and escape at the top.
These gasses are of such a nature
that they remove the oxygen from
the ore. This is accomplished in the
upper portion of the furnace. AS
the coke burns in the lower part of
the furnace the iron ore from the
oxygen has been removed settles
towards the bottom and finally
reaches a point at which the tenn
reratures is so high that it melts
and forms a pool of molten metal
at the bottom of the furnace. The
iron goes to the bottom Of this
pool and the earthly materials in the
lower part If the furnace.
'This metallzing process being
developed at the School OF Mines
experiment station does exactly the
same work as the blast furnace pro-
cess, but two furnaces are used in
stead of one. In the first furnace
the oxygen is removed from the ore
and in the second furnace the
earthly materials are removed from
the ore. The first operation is car
ried on in a furnace similar to a
coke oven and the second operation
in furnace similar to reverbatory
OR open hearth.
The advantages of the metalizing
process over the blast furnace lies
not only in the fact that the metal |
lzing process requires less than 800 |
pounds of soft coal dust to produce
one ton of ore, while the blast fur
mace requires about ton of high |
grade metallurgical coke to pro-
luce ton Of iron; but also in the
fact that by carrying on the opera
ion in separate furnaces conditions
IAN be adjusted for maximum eff
'iciency in each case. In the blast
furnace, in which the whole opera
ion is carried on in one big
