Option Is Secured on 30-0,000.000
Tons of Iron Ore, Believed to
Be Deposited In Lake Su
perior District.
KEW YORK. Oct. 7. Announcement
was made last night that the Midvale
Steel & Ordnance Company, a J100.000.
000 corporation recently organized by
"William E. Corey, had in addition to
purchasing the Midvale Steel Company
acquired three other concerns and had
secured an option on 300,000.000 tons
of iron ore.
These concerns are the Worth
Brothers' Company, of Coatesville, Pa.,
manufacturers chiefly of steel plates;
the Coatesville Rolling Mill Company,
which is allied with the Worth Broth
ers, and the Remington Arms Company,
of Delaware, a concern recently organ
ized to manufacture arms and ammuni
tion, at LMdystune, Pa.
The latter company, which has leased
properties of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works and is building another plant,
was a separate organization. It is said,
from the Remington Arms & Ammu
nition Company, of Illion, N. Y., but
the announcement made tonight dis
closed that Marcellus H. Dodge, presi
dent of the Remington Arms & Ammu
nition Company, is a director of the
new Midvale combination.
Midvale Jm Second Largest.
With the exception of the United
Btates Steel Company, the new Midvale
Company becomes the largest steel con
cern in point of capitalization in the
country, and although Mr. Corey, who
made the announcement of Its ad
ditional acquisitions, declined to discuss
the future plans of the company, it
was thought in steel circles today that
certain other concerns would probably
be taken in at a later date.
The Midvale Steel & Ordnance Com
pany stands us a holding company for
the properties acquired, and Mr. Corey's
'announcement said that in order to ac
quire these concerns, and to provide
working capital, J70.000.000 of its
stock would be issued.
In addition to Mr. Dodge, the board
of directors of the company include:
Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the
Kational City Bank; Percy A. Rocke
feller. Albert H. Wlggin, president of
the Chase National Bank; Charles H.
Sabln, president oi the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York; Frederic W.
Allen, representating Lee. Higginson
& Co., of Boston; Ambrose Monell.
president of the International Nickel
Company; Samuel F. Pryor, a director
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works;
William 1. Barba, vice-president of the
old Midvale company, and Alvin C.
Dinkey, the newly elected president of
that company. x
Air. Corey Is President.
Mr. Corey becomes president of the
holding company, and Mr. Dinkey, vice
president. ' It was learned that the price paid
for the Midvulc plants was around
000. 000.
It was said In steel circles that the
ore fields were probably situated In
the Lake Superior district and rivaled
those of the United States Steel Cor
poration in point of tonnage.
The Remington Arms Company, It
was announced, has contracted to man
ufacture 2,000.000 rifles for the Brit
ish government.
None of the concerns acquired, says
the statement, has any debts other
than current and "the aggregate work
ing capital of the parent company and
Us subsidiaries will be in excess of
15,000,000."

the enemy resistance. We likewise
made progress in the environs of the

oners taken exceeded 1000.
"On the rest of the front only artil
lery engagements are reported. These
are especially intense in Artois, in the
region of the Givenchy Wood, and Hill

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Oct. 7.
(Special.) Yakima County's three
Commissioners, Jim Lancaster, William
Stahlhut and James Stuart, were re
called by overwhelming majorities in
the county's first recall election Wednes
day. Twenty-one precincts out of 92
give 1308 to 206 for recall. It is con
ceded that this proportion is tairly
representative.
The recall movement against the
Commissioners grew out of the grand
jury investigation last Soring, when
indictments for malfeasance were re
turned against the Commissioners and
reca.ll was recommended. The recall
leaders insist the recall has taken ef
fect today and threaten injunction If
the Commissioners attempt to transact
further business. They say that Gov
ernor Lister will come here at once to
confer with the voters and appoint
successors to the recalled officials.

NERVOUS EXHAUSTION
Irritability, oversensitiveness, a dis
position to worry over trifles, headache,
dizziness these are symptoms of nerv
ous exhaustion, neurasthenia.
Very often the patient feels best and
brightest at night. Rest seems to bring
no refreshment, the nervous system
fails to recuperate. This distressing
condition is caused by worry more
often than by any other one thing.
Overwork and worry invite tho dis
order. The treatment Is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic
tonic As the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed towards building-
up the blood. Dr. Williams Pink
Pills act directly on the blood and with
proper regulation of the diet have
proved of the greatest benefit In many
cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to
anemia, or bloodlessnesa, shown by
mot neurasthenic patients, is also cor
rected by these tonic pills. Your own
drugffist sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
or they will be sent by mail at 50 cents
per box; six boxes $2.60. Begin the
treatment at once ' before your condi
tion becomes chronic.
