The last heard of them they were in

Dunn expects to show by this survey
that the railroad company in building
its line did not take the shortest
practical route from Duluth to the
iron country and therefore did not
comply with the terms on which it
was given its land grant. The state
is very active now in preparing for
trial of the land grant forfeiture case

igati0n at that time. says the Marine
Review. The ore companies that have

TO the policy OF delay in opening nagi-
CATION that has advocated ia the past
two or three seasons. as they have
reason to expect a demand for large
supplies of ore. They viii probably
be selling ore within the coming
week, as il is undel stood that some
OF the furnace men are ready TO make
purchases rs soon as the arrangement
OF the price schedule, now under way
is completed. \ knowledge Of these
conditions has caused some anxiety
among vessel owners in different parts
the lakes, and Cleveland agents have
numerous Inquiries regarding the
probable lake freight rate on season
contracts. An answer TO these inQuir-
les may be made by quoting a vessel
owner who is in close touch with both
sides of the situation:
sore sales may be made" he says,
within a few days now, but the YES
sci owner who has no connection with
ore interests may as we'll make up his
mind that he will have to wait for
any thing that he may get until such
vessels as those Of the Bessemer Steam
ship company, the Minnesota Iron Co.
Republic and LakeSuperior Iron COM
panies, Mutual and Menominee trans
portdtion co panies aud others OF
these kind are filed up Just now,
more than in any other season for a
long time past, the individual vessel
owners are at a great loss in not hay-
ing a leader who could induce them
to stand together for a 10-cent season
freight, which they 0would certainly
get before May if the sales of.ore de-
velop to the extent that is pested.
The vessel men would have everything
to gain by insisting upon such a rate
and nothing to lose, as there is Ger
tainly no money for the best OF ships
at so cents and little to be made by
most of them at s. cents. If 20 cents
could be considered in any way unfair
to the ore interests this arg unlent
might be questioned, but not more
| than or cents Of tile l5-cent adj
vance in ore is involved in extra wages
at the mines, and the ore producers
cents a ton than they were year ago,
as costs are not increased in any line
other than labor"
