"If I am alive ten ye~ ~"

This statement was to Capt. In

largest stockholder in the Ameri.
can Shipbui1ding company.
II can hardly tell the future of
lake commerce." said the veteran

PUMPS DROWNED OUT,

The Chisholm mine is flooded and
closed down. The water in the main
shaft gained headway Thursday of
last week, and every effort was
made to hold it under control, but
the pumps gave out, and first one
thing and then another happened
to the machinery, and the water
steadily gained, until the manage
men decided to cease the effort to
rid the mine of water. The ma
chinery was therefore stopped, and
will be given thorough overhaul
ing and put in first-class condition
before another attempt is made.
Two No. 10 and one No. II pumps
are drowned. The machinery in
good running order is sufficient to
handle all the water that makes into
the mine, and when the repair is
completed no further trouble is
looked for. 1t is supposed that the
overflow of water is from the sur
face, draining a nearby swamp, and
that the water will gradually be-
come less until the mine becomes
as dry as the Clark, a short distance
to the south, which has no trouble
with it's water. The shaft at the
Chisholm mine has depth of lis
feet with drifts from the bottom,
and there are now IS feet of water
in the shaft. One pump is SO feet un-
der water, and when steam was
turned into it Monday it started up
and did its work as though perfect
ly free. The operation of a steam
pump that distance under water
sets awry several theories. Supt.
Northey is ditching the swamp and
carrying the water away from the
mine, which will probably prevent
second flood. The machinery
will be in full repair in short time
and the work of developing the
mine will then proceed with re-
newed vigor.- Hibbing News.

BUHS WEST END PROPERTY:

By special warranty deed dated
May 7, 1901, and filed yesterday in
the office of the register of deeds,
Chester A. Congdon and wife, for a
consideration of $45OO00, convey to
William P. Snyder the southeast
quarter of the northwest quarter of
section 23-58-2O. The property is on
the western Mesaba range, and
heretofore has not been considered
very valuable, but indications now
are that a rich deposit has been
shown up, which, if true, will mean
much for that portion of the range.

TO ALLY Labor AND CAPITAL.

The New York Press of today con-
tains the following:
J. Pierpont Morgan has planned
the greatest labor Union of the age,
union of labor and labors ally,
capital. According to his plans,
stock of the United States Steel Cor
poration valued at several millions
of dollars at par, has been set aside
for the purchase at inside figures
by the 10000 men employed by the
companies that make up the big
steel trust. 1t is contemplated to
form this co-partnership between
the shareholders and the employees
of the United Steel corporation.
The plan was conceived before
the strike was thought of and then
it was expected that it might be put
in operation in two years. 1t re-
quired time to.formulate the details
of such an enormous undertaking..
For this reason the announcement
was withheld.
AT a recent conference, however,
between the executive board of the
Amalgamated Association and c..
NJ. Schwab, the president of the U.
S. Steel Corporation, it came out
that Schwab, under the direction of
Morgan, had formulated a profit,
sharing scheme, whereby it was
proposed to make every employe of
the Steel Corporation a cd-operator

THE STRIKE SITUATION,

Late advices from the seat of in
dustrial struggle would indicate a
losing of ground by the Amalga-
mated Association. The Joliet and
Bay View men refuse to submit to
the decree of President Shaffer, and
continue work, and the prediction
is freely made that the strike will
be of much shorter duration and
of less effect upon business in gen.
eral than was at first anticipated.

The Press also says that the plan
contemplated by the United States
Steel Corporation is nothing more
than a high development of the
scheme that has prevailed in the
Carhegie plants since 1892. After
studying the success attained by
Carnegie, it is said, Morgan and his
associates in the management of
the fUnited States Steel Corporation
determined that it would be wise to
extend the scheme.

lahcr disturbances in several quarters
ere not considered likely to be long
continued DRAWBACK and promise not TO
very generally affect the trades invoiv-
ed. Less urgency for early delivery OF
iron and stsel products was reported
at manufacturing centers. With mills
assured OF activity beyond the middle
OF the year and some uncertainty re-
garding the labor organizations atti-
tude on the wage schedule, there is
a disposition 10 let new engagements
wait as long as possible. Unusual ae-
tiyity is seen in agriculture supplies
and some noteworthy shipments We're
reported during the week, while makers
OF this class of machinery purchased
freely OF bar iron. Structural shapes
are in such active domestic demand that
little attention is given to available
foreign contracts. Coke production is
still enormous, as is natural with iron
furnaces operating at the greatest
weekly capacity ever recorded.
Forwarding of boots and shoes from
Boston for the last two weeks reached
the exceptional total Of 2e7,3es cases, or
As per cent more than in the CORES
ponding weeks of 1900, and since jan
uary LIST shipments exceeded last years
by l2.147 cases. while the increase over
all previous years was much more.
Both wheat and corn continue to sell
at more than ten cents hushel above
the price at this GATE last year and the
fluctuations in speculative options are
| much wider. Contracts in May corn
have been closed at phenomenal prices,
owing to clever manipulation at Chi
cago, and next crop options are sus-
tanned beyond the prices warranted by
encouraging crop reports. More foreign
inquiry for corn increased Atlantic ex-
ports for the week to 2.45S,6s1 bushels.

low the figures of a year ago. Wheat
