It has the ore abundance-620 acres of the finest mineral land in that famous field-and has a force of' men at work every day preparing to market it. The ComPany is selling its development stock at cents a share-par value $1.00. lhis is no mining venture, the risk has all been taken by the incorporators. The mineral bods have been located and title to the lands perfected. The stock now being sold is to raise funds to sink shafts and provide machinery to prepare the ore for market.

When the railroad is completed and the mines opened the stock that is now selling for 25 cents a share will command $1.00 per share and more in the general market. For dividends of even 6 per cent per annum will be 24 per cent on the investment. Here is what a few dollars will do: $1.00 will buy 4 shares, 6 per ct. dividend will pay 24 cents a year, $2.00 will buy 8 0 per cent dividend will pay 48 cents a year 5.00 20 ci on EAST OF PIQUA.

Go Into the Steel Business While There Is a Chance to Defraud Labor Every (CaruesieJ Library Should Have a Copy of the Book. Mr. Andrew Carnegie's new book, "The Empire of Business," Is out, and his publishers are sending to all newspapers a large sheet of extracts with full permission to reprint.

Here is a selection from the sample sheet: The trouble is that men are not paid at any time the compensation proper to that time. All large concerns necessarily keep filled with orders, say, for six months in advance, and these orders are taken, of course, at prices prevailing when they are booked. This year's operations furnish perhaps the best illustration of the difficulty. Steel rails at the end of last year for delivery this year were $29 a ton at the works. Of course the mills entered orders freely at this price and kept on entering them until the demand, growing unexpectedly great, carried prices up to $35 a ton.

Now the various mills in America are compelled for the next six months or more to run upon orders which do not average $31 per ton at the seaboard and Fittsbuvg-and, say, $34 at Chicago. Transportation, iron stone and prices of all kinds have ad vanced upon them in the meantime, and they must therefore run for the bulk of the year upon very small margins of prof-It. But the men, noticing In the papers the "great boom in steel rails," very naturally demand their share of the advance, and under our existing faulty arrangements between capital and labor they have secured it. The employers therefore have grudgingly given what they know under proper arrangements they should not have been required to give, and there has been friction and still is dissatisfaction upon the part of the employers. Reverse this picture.

The steel rail market falls again. The mills have still six months' work at prices above the prevailing market and can afford to pay men higher wages than the then existing state of the market would apparently justify; but, having just been amerced in extra payments for labor which they should not have paid, they naturally attempt to reduce wages as the market price of rails goes down, and there arises discontent among the men, and we have a repetition of the negotiations and strikes which have characterized the beginning of this year. In other words, when the employer is going down the employee insists on going up and vice versa. "What we must eeek is a plan by which men will receive high wages when their employers are receiving high prices for the product and hence are making large profits, and per contra, when the employers are receiving low prices for product and therefore small, if any, profits, the men will receive low wages. If this plan can be found, employers and employed will be "in the same boat," rejoicing together in their prosperity and calling into play their fortitude together in adversity.

There will be no room for quarrels, and instead of a feeling of antagonism there will be a feeling of partnership between employers and employed. There is a simple means of producing this result, and to its general introduction both employers and employed should steadily bend their energies. Wages should, be based upon a sliding scale in proportion to the net prices received for product month by month. It is impossible for capital to defraud labor under a sliding scale. The foregoing is not reproduced for the purpose of controversy, but because of the bits of Information it contains.

Yet it may not be out of place to offer a few comments. In the first place, It is agreed that the sliding scale, which Mr. Carnegie supports, is a fair way of arranging the wage scale, but the admission in the closiug sentence of the extract quoted is somewhat of a surprise, and very likely the author didn't intend that it should be so read. The natural inference Is that It is not "impossible for capital to defraud labor'' in the absence of the sliding scale! Mr. Carnegie didn't Intend that his book should be a plea for labor.

Under conditions most unfavorable to the capitalists, as shown by Mr. Carnegie in the example used, the employers are still able to run their mills at a margin of profit, though the profit is not large in the millionaire author's eyes. But that there is plenty of money for the employer In the steel business, notwithstanding the avarice of the work-ingmen, Is shown by the fact that Andrew Carnegie ia today rich enough to write a book that is praised by the press, and we have the testimony of his publishers that every dollar of bis stupendous fortune Is composed of his pickings from the fund representing the value added to raw material by labor. It must have been possible In the days of Mr.

Cnrnegle's business activity "for capital to defraud labor." Read what the prospectus of "The Empire of Business" says about the author's acquirement of great rlehos: "The importance of Mr. Andrew Carnegie's book. The Empire of is perhaps best realized when we consider his long experience as the most successful purely business, man this country has ever known. Mr. Carnegie created a business out of nothing.

tie did not make bis fortune by rommis-slon. us a banker, or by bondKng merchandise as a trader, but by manufacturing material taken out of the surface of the earth. He never speculated in a share of railroad stock. Ho owned a complete railroad, but built expressly for the purpose of his own manufacturing industry. He built mills, but never' sold them.

He created his own line of lake steamships. He bought land and mined his own ore and built up from nothing a business which was eventually sold to the steel trust for several hundred millions. What a man of his experience has to say upon the principles and practice of business is of the very greatest Importance."
