The following extract from an
article in the press of the country
regarding Jones q Laughlins.
the owners of the Monongahela
mine, may be Of interest 10 our
readers:
while the Jones & Laughlins
plant represents an investment
of S25, 600, 600, the men who form
the company have been as un-
certain about their future. il is
said, as man with no other re.
sources than his job and salary.
THE house is conservative,
opposed to trusts, and anxious
to have the business continued
by the descendants Of the found
ers. Ii is said the formation OF
combination after bination in
the steel trade. and finally or
ganization Of the u. 5. Steel
Corporation has caused much
uneasiness TO Jones q Laughlins,
who could not see the end.
Now, however, this company.
that under the conditions of a
few years ago would be consid
cred one OF the big corporations
of the country, feels that its in
dependence is assured. The
company now has its own ore
supply, convenient TO lake ports,
will probably build tie own fleet
of vessels. aud with its big plant
can safely go ahead without fear
of being crowded out any point
by the trust"

Active work has been started
on the James property at Iron

John Looney, who was shift boss
at the Columbia, has been placed
in immediate charge Of the work

has been ordered for the mine.
The machinery will be on the

Mining Notes.

The Pence mine. west of Hur.
ley, is said TO have received %
new lease Of life by the discov.
cry of deposit of ore. This
property has been the subject of
much exploration and was last
worked in a large way in 1895.
The ore is of a very good quality
and commands big price but
the deposits, like many others
in that part of the Wisconsin
end of the Gogebic range, have
been found in the past TO be
small, soon cutting out. When
work was suspended in 1896 it
was thought that the property
would not again be worked.
The new find has been made by
the Montreal Mining company,
which has three shafts bottomed
in fine ore.
Persons who are in a position
TO know say that the deal which
was pending between the Cleve.

Steel trust is of and the rea-
sons given are that the Steel

The ore buying movement was
quickly over, and little has been
done in the past week. Mercn-
ant furnacemen IN the two val
leys, with no definite assurance
of the amount of metal the United
States Steel Corporation would
buy from them, have taken on
ore sparingly, some providing
only for the wants of the next
few months. If the purchases
of the Steel Corporation in the
open market shall turn out to be
1, 500, 600 tons in the next year,
this being the estimated require
ments Of II months when all
steel plants are running full, the
merchant furnace outlook will
not be so serious as some views
have made it. We have already
referred to the sales OF Mesabi
ores from United States Steel
Corporation mines as indicating
that there was no policy OF hold
ing back ores for the company's
more remote needs. There are
indications in addition that the
new company is disposed TO fol
low the policy Of its constituent
ore companies in making ore
sales on contracts reaching over
q period Of years. Recent devel-
opments have pointed also 10 q
policy in reference to the Min.
nesota properties and operations
Of the Steel Corporation that
will not antagonize or run counter
TO state interests. The concen.
tration of its iron mining head.
quaters at Duluth, which seems
to be in the plan of the Morgan
company, is taken TO signify an
intention TO develop and handle
the Minnesota properties on the
largest scale.
Progress has been made in the
week toward q settlement of the
lake engineers strike. Some
vessel companies have arranged
with their men on the basis of
the union demand without treat
ing with the union. The Steel
Corporation has expressed its
willingness to pay the wages
asked but refuse the demand for

The new shaft is down about
200 feet at this property and

Miners at work at the property
say that the Hope is looking
well and all feel that a
large body Of ore will be shown
up. The Moriarty forty TO the
north of the Hope is being con

with chances favoring the taking

The Market at Large.

April has oneout on a quieter
market than ut lis beginning.
What the iron trade would be
glad 10 know is how long the
present luIl will last, and whet
her it is significant Of n nearer
approximation OF production and
consumption The prominent
fact in the situation is the con
tinued unwillingness of the
average buyer Of pig iron to con
tract To the end Of the year, or in
fact much beyond July Smaller
buyers of finished material are
not committing themselves much
farther ahead, though, us al.
ready reported, large con
sumers OF finished steel. part
icularly bars, are willing TO buy
a years supply at about so
ton more than they paid in July
and August Of last year. The
enlargement of pig iron produc-
ton is a factor in the situation
that is having close study, and
this with the failure Of Eastern
pig iron markets to catch step
with those Of the Central West,
is keeping all boom feeling out
Of the market SO far as pig iron
is concerned. The principal
buyer OF BeSsemer has not yet
made purchases for the second
half OF the year and furnacemen
have not yet decided whether
$40 AT valley furnace, the basis
recently talked of, will be in line
with conditions. Some Of them
have bought only sufficient ore
TO carry them into mid summer,
knowing that the ore price Will
not advance and prefcrring toI

hitting themselves further
While it is estimated that 500
COO tons OF pig iron from the
market would be needed in q
year by the big company if its
fullest steel works and finishing
capacity were employed. actual
purchases will be decided by
conditions. For the third

pected that the requirements
will be considerable. Tho inn
