MENOMINEE, MICH.While Miss Mayme
Pangborn and her father, J. K. Pangborn, were
being driven in a hack from their home to
St. John's church,, where Miss Pangborn was to
be married to M. F. Nugent, of Hegbert, Minn.,
the horseB ran away. The father, who is very
strong for one so old, flually opened the hack
door while the horses were going at full speed
and managed to climb on top, where he reached
over the head of the driver, who was but a lad,
and, grasping the reins, finally stopped the team.
Another carriage was secured and the bride was
taken to the church, where the bridegroom and
the rest of the party were anxiously. awaiting
their arrival.
That Menominee river log drivers are in de
mand is shown by the fact that a dozen of thein
were recently sent to work on a government con
tract in the harbor at Milwaukee, as no men
from the city could be secured who were capa
ble of doing the work. W. H. Gillen, of Mil
waukee, who has a government contract amount
ing the $250,000, telegraphed to Menominee ask
ing that a dozen expert log drivers be sent to the
cream city to work at the logs and timbers.
They left the same evening. The contract is the
pitting in of government piers and breakwaters,,
and some of the work requires men who are at
home on the logs.
The John O'Brien Lumber company, of Wi
cago, has closed out its business interests at Ash
land and purchased the mill plant of the Delat
Lumber company, at Phillips, Miss. Charles A".
Ruprecht, formerly of Menominee, will go south
to superintend the logging operations for the
company.
Harry Dyer, of Peshtlgo Harbor, will sail
Friday on the steamer Celtic, from Now York,
for his old home in iBngland, where he has
fallen heir to an estate valued at $40,000. He
is accompunled by his daughter Grace, and will
return home after settling up his affairs abroad.
Isaac Stephenson, of Marinette, wrote a let
ter to President W. D. Hoard, of the Wisconsin
world's fair commission warmly commending the
plan of raising $100,000 in addition to the regu
lar appropriation, and stating that he will be one
of fifty to help raise $50,000, or of a hundred to
raise $100,000, giving *2,000 if $100,000 is sub
scribed. An organized effort to secure the de
sired amount will begin in a short time thru
the medium of personal letters addressed to
wealthy men of Wisconsin.

June Ore Shipments From Minnesota
Iron Mines Amounted to 2,292,-
-\^ 000 Gross Tons."!fSK"%':
Five Per Cent Above June,' 1902,
Which Had the High Mark |
..'-.-' to That Time. ^ - - -'
Special to The Journal,
Duluth. Minn., July 2.June ore shipments
frotoi Minnesota broke all .records with a total
on roads coming into Duluth from the Mesabi
and Vermilion ore districts of 2,292,000'gross
tons. This makes more than 5,000,000 tons for
the season to July, and is more than 5 per cent
above the corresponding period of 1902, which
was by far the highest mark made to that time.
But in spite of these figures it is generally sup
posed that shipments are slow and there is a
constant drag at docks and mines either of which
it* able to handle ore far speedier than it has
so faf been permitted. The explanation doubt
less lits in the enormous increase of facilities,
continuously carried out, so that what In one
season calls for the most-severe exertions-1B done
the net year without auy comment whatever.
Shipments for the month from what are known
as the "old ranges," that is, the districts of
Michigan, ha-e ee slightly slotver than ex
pected, and less proportionately than from Min
nesota. The" newer mining state wiir tuis year,
therefore, increase its lead over both 'Michigan
and-Wisconsin.
Systematic exploration by drills has now been
under way in- the new "highland district" of
Minnesota for some months. . Mining men have
not been.interebted In it from the commencement,
and would have been highly surprised' if any
merchantable quantity of ore was foundi So
far nothing seems to' have been developed that
indicates the presence of iron.
Much work bot,h with drills and by hand is
under way. in the Atikokan region of Canada,
just- north of the Minnesota line.
The Sharon mine, Mesabi range, .which was
opened by the steel company of the same name,'
and sold to the United States Steel company
with that steel plant, is doing very little this
year ail stripping shovels have been taken off
and the shafts are not working heavily It is
not probable that this mine will do much for
many years, tho it is a very-large and In every
way an excellent property.
Saving Loan Ores.
Experiments are' to' be' made' this month in
washing lean Bessemer ores carrying a propor
tion of free sand. These ores are now too
poor to pay for shipment, but if the sand can
be washed and the ore cheaply concentrated
from a 40 to 55 or 60 per cent proposition,
with no especial increase in the percentage of
phosphorous they will come at once into -the mar
ket. The importance of these experiments is
scarcely realized* but there are many millions
of tons of this grade of ore that will, if they
succeed, be made available. Explorations have
not yet been carried sufficiently to determine
with any measure bit! accuracy, the ! fetal tonnage
hinging on these experiments, but it may easily
run up into hundreds of millions. W., P. Snyder
& Co. of Pittsburg are making the first experi
ment. . ' . ' -
A new shipper this week is the Kinney mine
of the Republic Irori ahd Steel company, which
has been under development for a year and more.
It will not be a large producer this year, prob
ably 75,000 tons, but csn easily far surpass
that If desired. / -
Other new shippers are the Troy, Albany ana
Utica, under the management of Pickands, Ma
ther & Co., but really controlled by the new
Buffalo Steel company, whose- works are,going
Into blast In that city. - . . ...
Moore a Good. Thing.
The Moore mine, which was recently bought by
the United States Steel corporation, and Is be
ing stripped for a large production, is destined
to be a very large and Important property. It
has been a sort of- football for many years, and
was 'little regarded until -bouglvt -by Ms. Cole,
president of the corporation's mines.- Now it is
found that- the ore Improves as, they get 4nto it,
and the cost of mining-the product will be very,
low The ore Is close to. the Bessemer limit.,
making it especially desirable as a mixture. It
WRB- purchased, as a. siliclous mixing ore any
way, and if its phosphorous is.lpw.-it 16 so much
the betfer. This year's product will be con
siderable, but another season It will be very
large. . .. . .. - . . . - '_-. ,...._-. ... ...'.

are employed in building the big flue and stack*?
at the Washoe smelter. The Amalgamated. ,
company expected to have this work complete*-:/,
by July 1, but owing to a shortage of brick5
could not do so. ' *.* f'.
It is the purpose of the company to avoid in-'?
juring this year's crop in the Deer Lodge valley,:
and this Is one otthe reasons why no ore will be
smelted until the new stack, over 600 feet high
Is in operation. When the flue is completed it Is
believed the gases issuing from the smelters will
be robbed of their noxious properties. The only
harmless vapor' Will come from a stack at the
top of the mountain back of the smelting plant.
The mines operated by the Boston & Montana
company and the Butte & Boston will raise ore'
as usual. These mines yield about 3,800 tons' of
ore a day, 800 tons of which is treated at the
Butte & Boston smelter, and 3,000 tons at the
Butte & Montana's plant at Great Falls. The
companies are branches of the Amalgamated
Copper company. "' " ""'"'
The Amalgamated company employs three
