IRON ORE in KENTUCKY
THE SUPPLY Is SAID TO BE PRACTI-
CALLY INEXHAUsTIBLE.
Fields to Be Exploited by Two syndi-
Gates Which Have Leased Thou
sands of Acres.

CHICAGO. July 1s.-Through the efforts
of the Illinois Central Railroad manage
ment a syndicate of st. Louis capitals IS
has been formed for the purpose of devel-
oping the iron fields of Kentucky. The
syndicate is headed by John W. Harrison.
formerly president of the Stuckie Hard
ware Company of st. Louis, and as a be-
ginning ii has purchased $4,000 acres of
land in Trigg county and has started two
one hundred-ton furnaces at Grand Rivers
Based upon months of investigation by ex-
perts. the members of the syndicate de-
clare that the Kentucky lands will within
few years become the greatest source of
supply for iron ore in the United States
This belief is also shared by another syndi-
Gated headed by a Milwaukee capitalist,
whose name the Illinois Central officials
refuse TO disclose at present. 1t is an
nounced. however. that the Milwaukee
coterie has leased 5000 acres of land and
has put up a fifty-ton furnace at Paducah.
1t is the purpose of the Milwaukee COM
pany TO buy or get long-term leases on
many thousand acres and to erect a num-
ber Of large furnaces in the near future.
The ST. Louis syndicate, which is also after
additional land. is made up of the follow
ing: John w Harrison, L. II. Simmons, of
the Simmons Hardware Company of ST
Louis. and Isaac Morton, president of
Stuckie Hardware Company of St. Louis.
Mr. Harrison, who was in charge to-day,
in speaking of the future of Kentucky ore
lands. said: Before deciding TO engage in
the enterprise we had extensive tests made
and became convinced that the iron ore
supply of Kentucky is practically mex
haustibe. There is enough ore in the lands
we have purchased to meet the entire de-
mand of the country for the next ninety
years. In my opinion it will not be long
before the principal supply field for iron
ore will be in Kentucky. The furnaces we
have established at Grand Rivers are only
a beginning and we will expand our enter
prise rapidly possible"

nave put another force OF men at work
to-day had he but been ready. He did
not say when he would be ready 10 start
those additional men, nor from what source
they were coming TO the mill. Mr. Brock

what was intended.
