It has been said that the iron
business is the barometer Of
trade. II this be so the thermo-
meter is going way up. The
output and consumption Of iron
has shown q wonderful increase
in recent years. In 1899 the out
put Of pig is 100000 tons, or
three times what it was in 1850,
aud double what it was in 1894.
No nation Of the world can show
such an expansion in any of its
industries. Another feature in
the tremendous expansion in the
iron business is the marked de-
crease in the imports of iron.
The expansion has been confined
entirely to American production.
In the SOS this country imported
pig iron to the value of s60,000,>
900; during the last fiscal year
the imports dropped 10 2,00O,-
600. In this same period our
exports Of pig iron increased
from $19,O00,O0O to $94. 900, 900;
thus has the iron industry ex>
panded at both ends. Iron was
one of the first things to receive
the encouragement of tariff PRO
lection and the industries that
such protection has built up now
virtually command the markets
of the world.
D. NJ. Philbin, general man.
ager Of the Eastern Minnesota,
was in the city yesterday, In
conversation wit the Enterprise
editor Mr.. Philbin stated that
the great trouble this season had
been in securing men; that while
many men had gone to work on
the extension the plentifulness
Of employment had tended
against the laborer staying long,
but that new workmen were now
being engaged at 1925 per day
provided they stayed with the
contractors until the extension
is completed. In reference to the
work, he stated that the rails
were now laid to a point about
two niles from Mt. Iron, and
that three weeks should see the
work completed to Virginia. A
pile drives was brought here this
morning for the purpose of driv-
ing piles and preparing a road
bed from the Sauntry west to
connect with the roadbed west of
Virginia lake.

says: 1t was stated yesterday
upon excellent authority at the
Great Northern general Offices
that President Hill Is not consid-
cring the advisability of branch
Of the system, to run from St.
Paul direct to the Canadian
boundary. Reports that this
would be done have been current
for some time, coming originally
from Duluth. The rumor is said
to have started with the purchase
Of logging road penetrating a
section Of the territory which
would be involved with the con-
struction of the rulnored Cana>
dian line, thought for time to
have been made by a party acting
for the Great Northern. It is
pointed out that the advantages
Of line such as has been sug.
gested Will not be very great un-
der present conditions. The ter
ritory north Of Swan river is
sparsely settled and beyond offer
ing some freight from the opera
tions of lumber firms, would yield
but little revenue.
General Manager Sims, of the
Itasca logging railroad, was in
the city a few days ago and de
MED the reports that have been
current that tie Great Northern
has secured the title to his line,
running from Deer river north
eighteen miles. He thought the
scheme of a Canadian road Wis
ionarv, and the reports, at least
for the present: without founda>
ton. He also stated that a sur.
veyor had completed line from
the northern end of the Itasca
line to Big Fork, fifteen miles,
and is at WORK completing the
survey to Koochiching. The
work is merely preliminary and
is not under the direction of the
