IMMENSE NEW IRONJRE FIELD Deposits of 1.000.000.000 Tons of Best Kind of Mineral IN THE BLUE RIDGE RANGE — Ayr Township, Fulton County, Place of Discovery That May Revolution ize Metal Industry of State— I Limestone and Water Near. Pittsburgh.—An immense deposit of the highest grade iron ore, conserva- j tively estimated at more than one bil- , lion tons, has been found in the heart I of Pennsylvania. The mother lode of ] red haematite ore, which scientists for many years have believed to be hid- j den somewhere in Southern Pennsyl- ; vania, has been located, almost at the door of the largest steel and iron in- i dustries in the world. It is claimed by j geologists and engineers who have | made an investigation that it is the 112 most startling discovery since the i finding of gold in 1849, and is destined t.o mark a new era in the steel and | iron industry of this country. The deposit is located in Ayr Town ship, Fulton County, in three spurs of the Blue Ridge Mountains, known as j Meadow Ground Mountain, Lowry's j Knob and Dickie Mountain, one hun dred miles from Baltimore, two hun- j died miles from Philadelphia and two j hundred and forty miles by rail from j Pittsburgh. The most remarkable j thing about it is the fact that there j are three kinds of ore—red haematite, estimated at more than 250,000,000 j tons; brown haematite in about the | same quantity, and carbonate of iron to the extent of more than half a bil lion tons. Near by are immense de posits of the best limestone and an j ample supply of water. Thus every thing for the manufacture of iron is ! on tho ground except coal, and that is only a few miles distant. Not less interesting is the story of j the discovery and how it was made, j The accidental finding and the quiet j way in which the ground was survey- < ed and tested rival the strangest fic tion. J. N. Crossland, of New Florence, ; Penn., a mining engineer and geolo- j gist of thirty years' experience, was ! led to enter Fulton County last fall in the hope that he might be able to find j an extension of the Broad Top coal vein, and while prospecting he came j across a strange geological formation in what is known as Meadow Moun tain. Becoming interested, he began , to investigate, and soon came upon nodules of ore. known to geologists as j "iron ore float," and after careful in- ; vestigation reached the conclusion that there were valuable deposits of iron ore in the mountain and vicinity. I In summing up his findings the engi neer says: "It is not a disseminated body of ore. but an immense mass of iron ore, : the dross burned out. it consists of hundreds of millions of tons not ex celled by any ore mined in the United Slates to-day in high percentage of metallic iron, and in its purity is a true Bessemer ore." More than fifty assays have been made from samples taken from as many different places by eminent chemists, including the chemist of the | University of Pittsburgh, showing an j average of metallic iron ranging from 57 to 63 per cent. A number of lead ing geologists of the country, among them Henry C. Demming, State Geolo gist of Pennsylvania, have been on the ground, and several of them declare j the find to be the greatest find of all | time. State Brevities. Thieves w ho broke into the home of j Mrs. J. A. Senseman, at Carlisle, stole j a contribution to a Kingston church i building fund.

TO BAR INDIANS IN MOVIESHOWS State Factory Inspector Sug gests Exclusion of Bandits. STUDYOF THE WAGE EARNERS Male Employes of Industrial Estab lishments Last Year Numbered 716,332, Females Numbeerd 202,625 —Many Minors Dismissed. (Special Harrisburg Correspondence.) Harrisburg, John C. Delaney, Chief Factory Inspector, devotes a chapter o£ his report for 1911 to Gov ernor Tener, to theatres and picture shows. Outside of cities of the iirst and second classes, over which his de partment does not have jurisdiction in the matter of places of amusement, 210 theatres and 526 moving picture shows were inspected. Fire-escapes were ordered erected on six places and 107 others were directed to fur nish better means for egress aud safeguards agaiiißt fires. In referring to the accident through panic in the moving-picture show at Canonsburg, Chief Delaney says it was the result of a needless panic caused by some one shouting lire, when there was no lire. The law had been complied with in the matter of construction aud fire-escapes. In discussing this sub ject Chief Delaney says: "T{ie Legis lature of 1911 very wisely put a Legis lative ban on all theatrical and other public entertainments lascivious in their intent or calculated to arouse irreverence for things sacred. The next Legislature should place a ban on shows filled with murderous cow boys and impossible Indians, no ad mittance to shows of boys and girls under 14 years unless accompanied by adults, and the absolute exclusion of children in arms." Army of Toilers. The male employes in industrial es tablishments in the State last year numbered 716,332; female employes, 202,625; males between 14 and 16 years, 15,163; females between 14 and 16 years, 15,930; minors dismissed, 824; minors dismissed for want of proper affidavits as to age and educa tion, SO6; dismissel for illiteracy, 18. Total number of male employes in all industries inspected, 753,737; female employes, 242,067; number of build ings in which tire-escapes aud other safeguards were supplied, by direc tion of this department, 395; machin ery guards ordered installed in 2,794 places; boiler inspections, 19,921. Dur ing the year there were 11 prosecu tions brought for infringement of the laws and 10 persons were convicted. Decrease in Industry. The re.turns for the year Indicate a decrease in the industrial activities of establishments where iroa and steel are the products. These show a de crease of 22,526 employes. Textile in dustries show an increase of 2285 em ployes. New* places of this kind to the number of 270 were inspected. None of these are of the sweat-shop variety. Notwithstanding the increase in the number of establishments in spected the aggregate of employes was 7901 less than for the year 1910. This is accounted for by the great falling off of business. A long chapter is demoted to the subject of compensation for accidents and the hope is expressed that the New Jersey plan for compensation for injuries, or something akin to that, will be adopted in this State. For Protection of Fist.. A campaign of education with the object of securing the cooperation of the public in halting violations of the fish laws and the pollution of streams, will be Inaugurated by State fish war dens, under the direction of Commis sioner Nathan 13.

The com missioner held a conference with the wardens, and awsigned to each one a district, impressing on them the fact that they were not only to maintain the laws, but to use every effort to bring manufacturers to a realization of their duty to the public to prevent pollution of the streams, in addition, the department has been promised the aid of the State police in pre venting violations of the laws after the opening of the fishing season.

State bonds amounting to $7,500 were redeemed this week, and among them were SSOO worth of the 3 1-2 per cent, bonds of the issue of ISB2, leav ing but SSO outstanding of the issue of $528,250. it is expected that all of the bonds upou which the State is paying interest, with the exception of $500,000 worth issued for State Col lege some years ago, will be redeemed this year. Predicts Wheat Crop Shortage. After having visited a number of the counties in the southern and west ern sections of the State, Dr. 11. A Surface, the State economic zoologist, expressed the fear that the wheat crop will again fall far short of tha average, owing to the severity of the winter and the absence of snow at the time of tlie remarkable drop in temperature during January. Last year the wheat crop fell short, owing to the depredations of the Hes sian fly, which was worse than known in a decade. AT POKER. Horan —Ts O'Brien a good bluffer?
