then. The Range says: There Is "a
good deal ol speculation as 10 The mean
ing OF this work but the general conclu-
sinn is thnt Rockeiollcr is preparing to
buy up all the mining properties on the
range that he can secure at his own price.
Owning one Of the railroads anil being
on good terms with the owners OF she
others, he is in position just now to
dictate terms il he 80 desires. Under
present conditions neither the Biwabik
nor Missabe Mountain could successfully
compete with him in the orc market il he
desired 20 shut them out. The BiwabilS
pays fifty cents per ton royalty oi
which amount thirty cents goes TO the
ice-ovncr and twenty cents to the Biwa-
blk Mountain Iron company. Tho latter
company il included in the Consolidated.
Therefore Rockefeller controls the royal
ty. lie also controls the transportation
charges, which are high. The Missabe
Mountain Is no better off While It's ore
can be mined ut smaller cost, it pays
sixty-Hvc cents royalty. Neither mine
could hope TO compete with the Noun
tain Iron unless the Consolidated com
pany chooses TO permit it, What then
is 10 be the outcome? For answer e
this question We can only wait until Mr.
Rockefeller gets ready 70 show his hand

1.-THE WILSON BILL DOES 1T"
While our irrepressible Democratic
neishbors are telling us in clarion tones
that the beneficent results Of the Wilson
bill are already being felt by a stimula-
tion Ia all lines Of industry, some OF the
more vehement representatives Of free
trade in the ranks OF the press running
long columns oi insignificant manuiac-
turing assumptions under the catch head,
"1'he Wilson Bill Does It." the market
reborts, those more veracious and re-
sponsible criterions, are unbosoming a
vastly different tale. One year ago,
when the management OF the big Norrie
mine kept the market IN doubt for weeks,
by refusing TO accept an offer OF $3.75
per ton on block OF ore by the Carne-
gies, the belief prevailed among ore
interests, possibly fathercd by the hope,
that the mine owners would be success
iul in their demand for $500, thus pre-
venting the market from slumping into
the Unprecedented mire OF $3.75 per ton
for standard Gogebic Bessemcr, and
thus fixing the prices on other Lake Su
perior products at greatly reduced
plane. Today, when free iron ore ~ one
year closer upon the heels Of the industry

The price, Sl75, would afford the
operator OF the mine little profit, under
the old wage system; indeed, n round loss
OF thirty-six cents per ton would be sus-
tanned on every ton OF orc shipped. The

fortunate enough 90 make saleat these

ton. The seventy y-fve-centsper.ton min
