Tiile aii'l SnpriB camps giving very K00(I accounts of themselves, and the coke is of A 1 grade. Things in the fuel regions are looking up and it will not be long until the usual output of fuel, both of coal and coke can be procured.FUKNACE E GETTING READY.Blast furnace E is being warmed up. This is the furnace which has been banked for several months is now having the sand taken away, the draft turned on and connections made generally.It is the intention of the management to have the furnace blown in by Wednesday next, and if possible before then. The whole thing lies in the question of getting in enough coke to warrant a permanent run.With two blast furnaces and the open hearth furnace producing there will be mure doing at the steel works and additional numbers of men will be employed.K All. MILL TO START UP.The rail mill will resume operations again Monday morning next on soft steel, making angle bars and such like for railroads. The conventer can not be started at that time because the blast furnaces will not be far enough ahead with pig iron to keep it going, and it is the intention of the company now to have no more shutdowns in any departments, hut when once set going to keep on going.THE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTER.Unquestionably there is a brighter outlook all through the steel works yards.

Barnum’s and Forepsugh’s shows use to make that claim ou bill Posters and through the medium of the press, but none of the traveling aggregations will hardly have the nerve to do so this year.As a world’s show it ought to be a hig one, of course, and so it is, embracing as it does people and things from everywhere.It is true that everything is not yet In readiness and will not be for a month or so yet. As a consequence there is not a large attendance, for the news has gone forth that St. Louis is slow sad must have a little more time. The Fair waa to have tagun a year ago but tho time waa extended from May 1st., 1903 to May ^t. 1904, and then it was too limited.Mud, slush sad iaelameat weather, industrial troubles and the like contributed to tin untfaea of gettingready. None except those actually engaged in building and in getting exhibits to their places will ever know what had to be endured in the way of rain, slush and mud, strikes and extortions, delayed transportation and all the obstacles that go to prevent and obstruct.At one time the 1,250 acre grounds was a vast mud hole where four-horse teams stalled in mire up to the hubs of the transportation wagons and many anight the teamsters unhitched, leaving the loads of goods standing out iu the weather until morning.'President Francis says that if he had it to do over again he would first construct the paved roads and have the buildings and the exhibits follow. Now all the streets and roadways are paved and the grounds are being sodded to grass.The white city with its hundreds of large and imposing buildings, its statues and monuments, its cascades and lakes, its lswna and boulevards, presents a grand sight, and especially at night time when illuminated by thousands and tens of thousands of electric incandescent and nrc lights.The amusement quarters, the “Pike”Pafor C for tl artist being forth rado'tminerticultAn effort tirele Way i: spect gerai hibitd foron and o In fat profu other crowt wort! atlver cost «Col ir.sie; room; boule and h the t state.Mr the g meat, Stew; also lt;al ate uer fiThipaper well ; othergive i favor way, to all a po head;Th As ylt; to ar thert can 1 reasc housi mealTfcat tthe f to ct thatmam visitlt; ed aisightA thinj posit the f looki so r taskand
