As an instance of this is the develop- ment made during the past few months in the northern part of township 57-17,. and' the southeast quarter of town 58-17. Discoveries are made and still con- tinuing in the northerntier of sections of town 57-17, especially in section 5, ,thre nine acre tracts have been shown to be well-nigh covered with ore. and where there has been proved mil- lions of tons. This ore body, with that Of the Adams, Vega and Fayal mines, with which it is believed to be connect- ed, is one of the largest onlthe range, and six months ago its existence, ex- V cept so far as the mines named were concerned, was scarcely conjectured.- Among the holders of Mesaba ore the Lake Superior Consolidated Iron mines is far ahead in quantity of Ore held, much Of it, being, however, under min- eral lease to other operators, and more of it being held by the Consolidated under lease from the original holders. Owing to some circumstances connect- ed with the formation Of the company by Mr. Rockefeller’s associates its hold— ings were obtained at small expense, and owing to the same circumstances it is difficult to separate the cost Of the mines from that Of the road, which fell into Mr. Rockefeller’s hands at the same time. It is safe to assume that $1,500,000 paid for all the so-called Mer- ritt properties that went into the Con- solidated company, together with all costs connected with their admission into the company, including some subsequent settlements, These prOp- erties, some of which are lease and some fee, are believed by the most con~ servative to contain 70,000,000 tons of ore of various grades. In addition to these the company has the Adams mine, the Lake Superior, the Lone Jack and the McKinley and the Rouche- lean-Ray 80 under Option. These will have cost, when the Opt-ion is taken up, about $2,500,000, and contain not less than 95,000,000 tons of ore. The Lake Superior leases are figured as covering at least 50,000,000 tons, and the Adams lease is put at a very conservative fig- .ure, far below what the owners are willing to concede. There is here an iron holding Of not far from 160,000,000 tons, all obtained at a round cost of $4,000,000. about 40,000,000 tons in sight at the Mes-aba mines, and for them it has paid almost $1,000,000. Some of the largest are leases. In addition to their own mines, the company has a tonnage con- tract with the Vega, which is regarded as- one of the most important mines of the range, with, perhaps, 10,000,000 tons in sight. ‘ The Roucheleau-Ray company still holds not far from 30,000,000 tons, of which about two-thirds is fee. The Sauntry exploration is estimated at not far from 15,000,000 tons. The Fowler explorations, the Security Land "holdings, mostly under option to the Minnesota Iron company; the Franklin group, the Ohio and some smaller properties, contain at least 30,— 000,000 tons. There remain the vast holdings of the Wright and Davis syn— On which are several mines and an enormous amount of partially explored lands. A report made on these hold- ings for the Minnesota Ironcompany a year ago, and on which the latter company based an Offer for the entire tract, showed “them to contain ore esti- mated at about 60,000,000 tons. The Minnesota Iron company paid Tower interests on the Vermilion range, including the Duluth and Iron Range. Nobody outside the of- ficers of' the company, and probably not they themselves, know the ore hold- ings in the undeveloped lands they own, though the mines at present worked have been pretty well punc- tured by the diamond drill, and for 1,000 feet down are as well understood as if they were sliced bare. Vast as - these holdings are,.. they sink into in- significance, so far as the totals go, compared to the incomprehensible quantities on the sister range. Two other companies are mining the Ver- milion, but such is the present inac- tivity on this range that it would not be surprising if there were half a dozen new concerns at work there shortly, and twice that number of mines scat- terd from Tower toward the interna~ tionalboundary. — Minneapolis J our- nal.

' ' ‘ ' While manyladiesxdo not like to or- der their standard suits very early in the seasoa, as, toward the end of April, new styles may appear, they may with perfect safety arrange for all the ac- cessories and minor items of their wardrobe for the entire summer. . . .. The, petticoat is an important factor in fashionable dressing. One may have dress skirts made with lighter material for linings and with less bulky and cumbersome fittings than heretofore, provided a suitable petticoat is secured. There are firm and reliable makes of haircloth that stand out under the weight of all skirts of ordinary fabric. With skirts made on this plan, one well-made petticoat serves for the en- tire outfit for street costumes. These may be in gray or black haircloth, and should be fitted with the utmost nice- ty. For evening dresses a white hair- cloth one answers the same purpose. Silk petticoats are in very general use, although many ladies who have worn them for years are making up fine, firm qualities of moreen, and like them very much better. There is a certain springiness' to the moreen pet-ticoat that one does not find in silk, which, unless very carefully cut, is likely to wind around one’s ankles and make walking a weariness rather than . a pleasure. ' - . As to white petticoats, the variety and elegance of the importers’ stool: are simply bewildering. They remind one of the Old-fashioned christening dress of an infant, such masses of tucks, puffs, ruffles, lace and embroid- ery are they. There is a fancy among exceedingly dainty and fastidious women for‘ making‘petticaats of fine nainsook and finishing them with a single wide hem-stitched hem. An- other favorite model is made on the Spanish flounce idea. Half of the length of the skirt is gored, the re- maining portion being set on of straight breadths. This may have a hem-stitched hem or a plain one with a narrow flounce of lace. In all cases the hem should be the full width of the flounce, as it is much more desir- able if the flounce is sewed through more than one thickness of the fabric. \Vhile the chemise is a. part of all well-kept underwear stocks, the knit- ted vest, either in gossamer, silk or wool, is much more generally worn. It absorbs the perspiration in summer, fits the figure without wrinkles and is by many thought to allow of a much better fit of the dress waist. At all events, it has become a standard arti— cle of wear, and is so much approved that there must be a good reason for its continuance. The gossamer vest is also worn as a corset cover, and is by many preferred to those made of mus- lin except for dressy wear. The bicycle has had much to do with modifying certain articles of apparel. The corset waist and the hygienic waist have be- come so important for wheelwomcn that it is fondly hoped that much bet- ter shapes will be furnished than here- tofore. Many of those in use, while they have .points of advantage in bust, .waist and hip shapes, have such ex- ceedingly awkward and uncomfortable shoulder straps that they cannot be tol-t erated. A number of makes have a strap so arranged as to bunch out just above the shoulder blades, absolutely spoiling the figure and suggesting wing bones, which, while they may be desir- able from an esthetic point Of View, are not particularly ornamental when they push out into the back of one’s dress waist. ' Hosiery. for the coming season is to be divided equally between black and Every woman has a certain number of black hose for standard, but equally, if she desires to be stylish, she must have those Of various light col- crs, and should have at least one pair to match each dressy costume. The boot hose, those with black feet and ankles and fancy tops, are best liked. The new all-black hose, with very wide, extremely elastic tops, are becoming the wheelwoman’s favorite. With these long hose and very short, full drawers of .black goods, many women find themselves sufficiently well equipped as to underwear. Manufacturers are struggling with the subject of union suits, but up to date the ideal model has not appeared. W'omen who have tried them complain that the underwear draws and pulls and makes them uncomfortable. They are scarcely able to tell why, but, all the same, very few of them like it. This is a pity, as the union suit, if properly construct-ed, would be of im- mense advantage to wheelwomen and hose who are inclined to bc stout. It will be necessary tomake them on en- tirely new lines, if they are to meet with any permanent. popularity. They are endurable for extremely thin peo- ple, but lack bust fullness and sufficient room to fit the curves of the figure—- N. Y. Ledger. . Parsnip and Saisify Fritters. Wash, scrape and boil parsnips till tender, and mash fine when done; to each’ pint allow two tablespoonfuls of butter, salt and pepper to taste; add- a beaten egg; stir all together over the fire a few minutes, let cool, shape into balls, dip into egg, crumbs, and fry in. deep, hot fat. Sal- sify or oyster plant fritters are made in the same way, only when boiling add two tablespoons of vinegar to the water.
