Review Of Mining Operations
and Developments of Lake
Superior District.
SEASON ORE PRICES SETTLED.

If the policy established by the
United States Steel corporation in
the fixing of the price of iron ore is
carried out in all branches of the
trade, the independent mine owners.
turnacemen and mill owners will
have nothing to fear from the big
corporation.
AT the meeting of the Bessemer
/ Ore Association, held here yester-
day, the price for all standard Bes-
semer ores was fixed. The base
price agreed upon is $425 a ton for
ores that run 63 per cent iron, .O45
phosphorus and .O1O moisture, de-
livered at Lake Erie ports. The REL
atlVe price of all ores is figured on
that price, which is a reduction of
$l.25 ton compared with the base
price for 1900.
The cut is much greater than was
predicted. The U. S. Steel CORPORA
ton, which controls the largest part
OF the Bessemer properties, did not
vote on the price question, leaving
the matter with the independent or
merchant miners to settle, agreeing
to abide by the price fixed. The
officials of the big corporation we're
OF course consulted. They were the
most conservative of all the parties
interested, and were in a large meas
ure responsible for the low price
agreed on.
Sales of non-Bessemer ore have
been made during the past week at
So ton, which is cut of 81 COM
pared with last year. +
The independent mine owners arc
we'll pleased with the action of the
y. 5. Steel corporation in the fixing
of prices. Official notices of the ac-
ton of the Bessemer Ore Associat
ton were sent out yesterday and the
prices will go into effect Thursday
"A conference was held by indie.
pendent furnace operators in Pitts
burg regarding the proposed COM
bine of all these plants under the
ownership of one company, to BE
capitalized at $12O0OOOO. The con
ference lasted most of the afternoon

son, of Minneapolis. the royalty be-
ing 40 per cent of the net profits of
the mine.
The Elba shipped last year 121,-
COO tons, that being the first it had
overcome water, and therefore the
first year of sizable shipments. 1t
is good for about 100000 tons a year.
The Corsica is a new mine, in
which development commenced
last season, and will be able to
make small shipments this year.
1t is expected to take all the water
from the Elba, and the two should
be operated in common. The grade
of Corsica ore is much like that of
the adjoining property. Pickands,
Mather & Co. have undeveloped
properties near by and will make
an important mining center there
in time. The Elba has been mining
and stocking large amount of ore
the past winter, and has more than
$4,000 tons on the surface. The Cor
sica has small stock of ore taken
out of the development. I,

was that the proposed combine
would undoubtedly go through in
a short time. Satisfactory progress
has been made in the venture and
nearly all the plants wanted for the
new company have been optioned

Regarding the alleged opposition
of the U. S. Steel corporation to this
movement, it was said that the rum
ors were not based on any facts.-
