John D. Rockefeller, the great
financier made his maiden trip to the
Mesaba range last week. Mr.. Rookie
Teller came up in private car &C
companied by his wife, Miss Rookie
Teller, J. d. Rockefeller jr.. Miss
Spellman, Rev. S. w. Richardson,
New York, Miss Strong and Mis- Laura
Strong, Rochester. They spent some
time, at Mountain Iron viewing the
great Mountain Iron mine. Those
who met the richest man in the world
say he is "a very pleasant gentlemen
and that he did not appear any differ

seemed greatly pleased with his i'm

due to these heavy shipments of steel
rails; the rest to the larger sales
abroad OF machinery and other finish

very encouraging to our manufacture

crease their foreign trade by 81 per
cent, in the face of unusually high
ocean freight rates and the trade dis

The larger part of the increased bust
ness is with European countries
where competition is very active, and
every possible method has been used
to work against American goods.

has been done as yet. The possibility
of niger prices for rails when the new

through the sharp competition be-

the benefit of prices out of relation to

Much Eustling.

Northwestern Minnesota is the
theater of much railway activity at
present, which promises to continue
until the region northwest and north
of Duluth will be well cut up with
roads, thus opening up the remotest
timber and mining lands of the Sec
tion. 1t is evident that there is to be
a good deal of progress in that
part of the country from now
forward, and the consequent develop
ment of resources will add much to
the wealth of Minnesota and the i'm
portance of the cities at the head of
the lakes. The building of the sever
al railways projected some of them in
process of construction, will intensity

thus enlarged Duluth district

American Iron in Germany.

A Berlin dispatch says that the
Chamber of Commerce of Bochnm,
referring to the fact that American
pig iron was recently sold in Germany,
expresses the fear that this may be
the beginning of lively competition,
unless German rail freights are ma
terially reduced. The report denies
that the lower price of the American
product in production is due to great
er technical excellence, and claims
that it is due to low freights in
America.

The Federal steel Company.

The certificate of incorporation of
the Federal Steel Co., with d capital
of 5000, 900, 900, was filed Friday after
noon, Sept. 9, in Trenton. N. j., in
in the Office of the secretary of state.
The state franchise tax was Sic, 1000,
paid by the Corporation Trust Co., Of
New Jersey, and was the largest fee
ever paid to the secretary of state
upon the organization of corpora
ton. The business of the company is
to carry on mining and manufacture
ing of all kinds, and special attention
is given to the business of transporta-
tion and to the purchasing and equip
ping of railroads. A marked feature
of the certificate is the power to
acquire and undertake the business of
all other concerns. The stock, which
is $500, 900, 900 fully paid, is one-half
preferred, 6 per cent, and One-half
common.
The certificate is signed by Charles
G. Cluff, Charles McVeagh, and Ben
jamin G. Van Dyke. 1t is witnessed
by James B. Dill, who is the counsel
for the Corporation Trust Co.; by
Judge E. HI. Gary, of Chicago, as
counsel for the various steel COM
panies; and by Francis Lynde Stetson,
counsel for J. P. Morgan & Co., who
financed the transactions.

Considered Hazardous.

w. g. Mather. president of the
Cleveland-Cl Iron Co., gave the fol-
lowing testimony in the ore rate case
the other day: He considered the in
vestments of the Minnesota ore roads
hazardous. and had disposed of the
bonds of road for hauling, where
ores were assured for a long period
and the rate of interest was per
cent, only to stockholders in the
mines that supplied traffic to the
road, and of whose business these
stockholders thoroughly knew. He
considered that Messhi ores could be
used to Is to so per cent of the fur
mace mixture. He went into a con-
sideration of rates past and present,
and was of opinion that reduction
in the price of Mesabi ores, or of Yer
million ores. though the latter were
only 10 per cent of the total produc-
ton. would compel all other mines to
reduce accordingly.
L. B. Miller, who has charge Of the
selling department of the firm of
Oglebay, Norton & Co., said that his
firm last year sold nearly 100000
tons of ore. He showed why the per-
centage of Mesaba ore in the furnace
was small. and added that the great
Duquesne furnaces of the Carnegie
Steel Co., built to use at least Is per
cent of Mesaba ores were not able to
use more than IS per cent. He con-
sidered the use of Mesaba ore to be
limited by the character of the ore,
and brought out very clearly the fact
that furnacemen would use all they
could at the great differential in
price. He did not consider any fur
ther cheapening in cost of Mesabi ore
would greatly increase it's use, for the
same reason. The control of mines
by furnacemen, he said, was an added
factor in the low price for these ores,
and he saw very little future for any
producers in that district. He said
the reduction in railroad rates in the
old ranges this year and the lower
vessel rates were followed by reduc-
ton in ores of IS cents ton.

The Francis e. Willard capsized
last Saturday afternC on, just east of
Vincent island. The three occupants
where picked up by row boat. The
Willard turned completely over and
up to Monday had not been righted.
This is the second time that this boat
has capsiZed since it was launched.
The sail had been increased and the
boat had not been properly ballasted,

Lutheran church, the pastor of that
church very impressively tying the
knot binding together two young
hearts, Mr.. Charles William Huotari
and Miss Matilda Westerinen.
The bride is very popular young
lady having made friend of every
one she met while clerking in the dry
goods store of Chris Juel & Co., and
naturally all the ladies pressed for
ward to see their young favorite
united in marriage. She possesses
most estimable qualities and will
adorn the home which she has now
entered as queen, Mr.. Huotari, the
groom, is an honest, intelligent, trust
worthy young man, now occupying

happy young couple received the
warm congratulations of their host
of friends, and in extending good
wishes for their future happiness the

The Evening Trains,

Every evening train brings in large
crowds of men, seeking employment,
which they cannot get. None of the
mines about Ely are taking on very

them to stay away. The city has

idle for the summer and who are able
to take care of all work for some time
to come.

IRON CIRCLES.
Buying was Not Very Heavy in ZION Circles
the Fast Week.

Buying was Not very deaVy IN ZION Circies
the Past We eek.
A lull in buying is noticed but no
other abatement Of the indications OF
strength in the situa ion. From the
ore trade down TO the consumers OF
foundry iron and steel billets, the
knowledge that comparatively little
business is needed in The remainder
of 1898 to maintain operations on a
scale of comfortable expansion, is
saving the market from the weakness
of the few sellers who in any brief in
terval of quiet consult fears rather
than facts. The pig iron stock state
ment shows "a net decrease of $4,000
tons. in August, coke irons decreasing
$1,000 tons and anthracite 1000 tons,
while charcoal added 1900 tons. This
showing is particularly significant in
view of the gain in pig iron production
which on Sept, was at the rate of
about 3, 900 tons week in advance of
the weekly rate on Aug. 1. Southern
furnaces continue to ask relatively
higher prices than those of the Cent
raj West and East. In New England,
Western New York irons find reader
access than in many months. Theex-
port trade from Birmingham has been
active of late, one company booking
10000 tons of export orders last week,
including $500 tons of basic iron.
Warrant stocks have been reduced
steadily, but it is said the bulk of the
stocks now in yards is held in large
blocks by English and other capital
lists who will not be sellers on the
market. The feature in foundry
irons is the heavy bookings of produ-
GERS in all sections, many deliveries
reaching well into 1899. Consumers
