The johnson Company VIII not Buy the
Steel Plant or the Pioneer, as Reported.
A Duluth man who was on the in
side of negotiations pending between
the Johnson Steel company of Eorain,
O., and the Franklin Trust company
of New York, for the West Duluth
blast furnace. is authority for the
statement that for the present moth
ing further would be done regarding
purchasing the plant by the Johnson
interests until they had some assur-
ance that they would be able to lease
some good iron property up in this
section. 1t is said that the Johnson
people would like to have and might
get the Pioneer mine if the Carnegie
or Minnesota interests do not succeed
in leasing it.
The Cleveland Leader publishes the
following which will probably settle
the question:
"There is more than one item OF
evidence to indicate that the Johnson
Steel company is laying plans very
broadly and very thoroughly. One OF
these items of evidence is the inYesti.
CATION by the company of the posi-.
bility of manufacturing pig iron at
West Duluth, right In the ore region
of Lake Superior, and carrying the
pig iron down to the Lake Erie mills,
instead OF the ore, of which a ton and
three-fourths are needed for the
manufacturing Of ton Of pig iron.
This to iron men is a suggestion OF
the thoroughness with which the
whole question has been examined.
"Those at the head of the company
are working to place it in the very
best position for the business battle
that modern engineering science and
accurate calculation can place it. 1t
is interesting to recall that the ex-
perts that went to Lake Superior
reported a few days ago that there
would be no advantage in placing ths
blast furnaces which the Johnson
company is soon to erect at Lake
Superior rather than in Lorain, and
the engineers reiterated the statement
Of the now well recognized fact that
the south shore of Lake Erie is the
most advantageous place in the world
for the location of steel mills"

Mistaken Assertions.
Tho Fake Story which is Being Circulated
Throughout the County.

Somehow or other some assertions
are being made regarding the tracing
OF the murderer Premitz, alias Zogar,
that are absolute falsehoods and
eminate God knows where. The story
as circulatedsis to the effect that the
murderer had been traced to Batavia,
ILL.,, by means Of a letter received in
this city and opened by the officers
after being notified by the postmaster.
The story is without foundation as
far as the letter from Batavia. and
the opening of the same is concerned.
There was letter received here
addressed to Yearney Mihle day or
so after Christmas, written in Duluth
on Christmas eve by the fugitive.
Premitz. In the letter, among other
things, Premitz gives an interesting
account OF his trials and tribulations
during the trip to Duluth, walking
by night and hiding in the woods
during the day. Mihle, the man to
whom the letter was addressed, being
in the county Jail in Duluth held as a
witness, the letter went to Jos. Mihle,
father of the addressed who opened the
missive and after perusing handed the
same to Jno. Klobucar at whose house
his son had been boarding.
The letter being open everyone in
the boarding house read the same
and openly discussed the contents.
Officer Garrison heard of the letter
and secured the epistle. 1t was writ
ten in the Slavonic language and after
translation: nothing was learned more
than that the man was in Duluth on
Christmas eve and had with consider
able hardship, walked there as above
stated.
This report Of the letter being OPP
ened in the mails by the officer at the
instigation Of the postmaster, is doing
both of these gentleman a grave in
justice. The whole thing, especially
the Batavia matter is fake pure and
simple. The murderer has not as yet
been found.

The Annual City Band Concert to be Given
on the Evening of January 21st,
Although rather late this year, the
annual concert and entertainment Of
the City band to be given on Friday
evening January q, promises to be
grand success, from an entertainment
standpoint at least. The band boys
are working hard and faithfully and

superior to those heretofore presented
by the band, and that means much.
The program which is now being
arranged, will consist of both vocal
and instrumental music, dances,
sketches and farces and will occupy
the attention OF the audience about
two hours. In addition to the fea-
lures above given. several of the
ladies of the city will assist with
vocal, instrumental and Evolutionary
selections. After the concert, in all
probability. dance at the Vail hall
will be given.

A GOOD WEEK
Activity in the Iron EIarket-.The
BeSSemer Ore Pool.
NO TRUTH IN THE REPORT
OF Sales Of MeSaba Ores to go to
Cardiff, Wales.

The preliminary negotiations look
ing to the continuance in 1898 Of the
organization of Bessemer ore produc-
ers are on the assumption that the
pool for this year will include the
Mesaba range. II it should appear
that producers on the new range can
not agree on tonnage basis, it is
probable that the question will then
come up, as it did last year, whether
the old range companies will organize
by themselves. So far as the situa-
tion is affected by the mining opera
tions Of the leading consuming inter-
est. the old ranges and the Mesaba
are now on par, while last year the
Oliver Mining Co. had entered on the
Mesaba range only. Appearances
thus far are that Mesaba producers
will welcome an agreement. Tonnage
questions will not be the obstacle
they proved last year; so far as any
thing is said concerning price, it is in
timated that % cents advance meets
the idea Of many producers. The lat
est exploit Of the sensation mOngers
in industrial news, is the Pittsburg
telegram that went to the ends Of the
country, announcing a 100000 ton
sale of Mesabi ore by Warner, Stuart
d Co., Cleveland, for delivery in Car
diff, Wales. There is no truth in the
story, as could have been ascertained
readily on inquiry; yet no correction
OF the absurd canard has appeared in
any of the papers that displayed it so
glaringly. James W. Miller, of Pitts
burg, who was credited with the big
sale, has had some correspondence
with Warner Stuart & Co., as to the
cost of freighting Lake Superior ores
TO England and Wales: that is all.
The iron trade has seen more actiy-
ity in the past week than usually at
tends the crossing into a new year.
Fot that any notably large contracts
have been closed; but in all lines pend
ing inquiry and negotiation represent
larger volume of business than
would be expected so early in January
Confidence is everywhere in evidence.
and calculations for 1898 are on a lib
eral scale. There is less of the hesi-
fancy and uncertainty about the prob
able course Of prices than is to be OBJ
served ordinarily at the opening of a
year. Buyers are more willing, ap-
parently, to make long contracts than
are sellers. In pig iron, prices for the
time are favorable to buyers, some Of
the lowest quotations since August
having been made on foundry irons
in the past fortnight. Southern and
northern furnaces alike are making
these concessions. and they have been
most marked in the east. In Chicago
and central western territory, south
ern sellers have taken the initiative
in lower offers bringing their prices
closer TO the northern leyel.--Iron

The Ore Pool.
Duluth Iron Mon Wondering whether the
Mesaba IL I'm IL This Winter.

Mesaba ID In 1t This Winter.
The iron ore men OF Duluth are
wondering whether the Mcsaoa range
will be included in the iron ore pool
this winter says the Tribune. The
question whether it would be of any
benefit is open for discussion. One
prominent ore man says it would be a
benefit for the Mesaba to be part Of
the pool but that the interests on
that range could just as we'll form a
pool of their own and attain the same
results in the way of regulating out
put and prices. 1t is conceded that
the furnaces will use just as large a
percentage of Mesaba ores whether
the producers Of that range are in the
pool or not, as the furnaces are trying
to use as much Mesaba ore as they
profitably can. Owing to the fact
that many of the producers OF the
Mesaba also consumers, another iron
ore man is of the opinion that the
Mesaba will be Indifferent to the pool
The percentage of Mesaba ore that is
used now by furncaemen is from Is to
so per cent, AS high as 20 per cent
has been used but experience has
taught that with present methods
40 to so per cent is all that can prob
ably be used.
Mr.. Oliver as the head of the Oliver
Mining company, stands for the Car
negie interest and should the Mesaba
range OF be included in the arrange
ments of the ore association for the
season of 1898, the Carnegie interest
will have part in the business OF
the old ranges by reason of it's recently
acquiring a supply of old range ores
from the Tilden and Norrie. and pIos-
pectivelY from section 26 of the Yer
million range. Mr.. Oliver is taking
part in the preliminary meetings of
the members of the ore association
but it is believed that if it were not
for the old range interest he repre-
sents. he would not be present.
1t is expected that the feasibility
of including the Mesaba range will
be given consideration in the deliber-
ations to be held. Whether this can
or will be done is considered a wide
open question and even the reaching
of an agreement among the old range
operators Is far from certainty,
though it is considered a probability.
There are many intricate questions
to be considered and it is expected
that it will be three or four weeks
before an agreement is possible under
any circumstances.
The ore buying interests otherwise
the blast furnace men. are favorable
to the pool among the producers.
They are glad to have the organiza-
tion agree on establishing uniform
scale of prices. 1t relieves the buyer
of much worry. He may rest assured
that some other furnacemen is not
from some source getting a certain
kind Of ore at cheaper rate than he
has bought, and thus be able to under
sell him. While ore prices next year
will apparently be quite low, there
will be some moderate advances made
necessary by the operation of variety
of causes.

self would bean unwarranted invasion
OF the jury's rights. The company was
not taken by surprise, he said, for
Smith gave substantially the same
evidence at both trials of the case.
He finds, too, that the verdict was
not excessive, and therefore denies the
motion.
