anything the Register says. Every one
knows that there was more disgraceiul
conduct in the legislature in its deal
ings with the book question four years
ago than ever occurred in this state be-
fore or since. Yet the Register did not
rise to sufficiently high moral plane
then to make any criticisms.

business.
Its a glomv picture OF the future OF
the iron mining business that is drawn
by Solomon S. Curry, president OF the
largest ore producing company in the
world. He shows that the development,
Of the Mesaba range assures the world
Of an adequate supply OF ore for a
thousand years. which can be mined
and shipped at 30 low a price tina. tho
millions upon millions OF dollars that
have been invested In the Lake
Superior country, under the impression
thu. the supply was limited, must be
lost. Bankruptcy stares many towns and
cities OF the latter region in the TACO in
consequence, and capital greater than
the wealth OF the Ro,hschilds is i'm
psrilled. Mr.. Curry expresses the out
look in the following startling mau-
ner:
We had some OF the mos: experienced iron
men In the world visit England, Spain, Alcters
and Cuba and make an examination OF the iron
mines, and from the reports they made we be-
lieved that III few years Europe would be
Obliged TO call upon America for its BeSselncr
ore. This will prove to be true. for the United
states has the ore and the fields In the old coun'
tn are playing out; but Of what good is the new
condition to the old.tineEs who have invested
millions In the Lake superior districts Even
Rockefeller will regret his investments In Iron
mines unless he secures a monopoly OF the
transportation facilities into the McSaba dis
trct. which he has attempted 10 control
Mr.. Curry goes on to give some idea
OF the consequences to the ci.ies OF the
Lake Superior country. lie showa that
some OF them were the most prosperous
in Michigan and the richest mining
camps on the globe, but now they arc
deserted and the millions OF money that
were poured into them nave vanished.
; The same destiny awaits other cities,
such as Ishpeminr, Negaunee. Iron
Mountain, Norway, Crystal Falls, Flor
euce, Bessemer, Ironwood, and Hurley.
Tneae towns, says Mr.. Curry, are nil
heavily bonded, the securities being
hsld in the east and in Europe, aud all
must be lost.
(. Allthis ia duo to the discoveries in
the sIesaba range, where there is
enough orc in sigh. that can be mined
for almost nothing to supply the entire
world for many centuries. This is in.
deed pretty bad for the men who have
invested their millions in other re.
gions, but to tho country At large. and
to the great manufacturing centres it
may prove blessing Tho Pittsburgh
Dispatch, for instance. sees in it a great
future for that city and other iron and
steel centres. " heelinr, OF course, will
share in the profit OF the whole com.
try, which, as tho Dispatch says, will be
placed in ian irnpreInable position to
compete with the whole world. Add to
the cheap ore afforded by tho Mcsaba
discovery, cheap water transportation
to the great furnace district, and tho
revolution predicted in the iron and
steel business will DO accomplished"
So it is that the loss Sustained by ono
comparatively small portion OF tho
country and by "the old timc ie!lows,,
will DO more than oiIaot by tho profit in
other directions.

QUALIFIED BEFORE THE C0URT.-
Mayor Thompson, it will be rsmem-
bered, after having been elected by the
City Council on the 30th of last month,
took the oath of Office in the chamber
of the Common Council before Justice
Beach. 1t had been the custom pre-
viously TO the year 1891 for the Mayor
to be sworn in by justice of the peace
in the presence of both boards of the
City Council, but upon the accession
of Mr.. Henry Strauss to the Mayoralty
is was deemed necessary for the Judge
of the Corporation Court to administer
the oath of Office. The Council, how
ever, upon the election of Mr..
Thompson were of the opinion that
such course was not obligatory, and
Judge Norton being out of the city, he
was sworn in by q justice. Subsequently,
however, it seemed to be controverted
question as to whether this procedure
was valid, some gentlemen of the legal
profession contending it vas not, and
others that is was. In order to set
aside all doubts, Mr.. Thompson went
before the Corporation Court this
morning and qualified before Judge
Norton. It seems that the certifcation
by the Court to the certificate from
Justice Beach would have rendered
the oath administered on the SOth
valid.
