There IS much speculation
among mining men rs to the
transportation of iron ore under
tho new regime. The G, & N
w. railroad. a Vanderbilt organ
ization. has had the lions share
of the business OF the Oliver
Mining company in the past.
The G. M. & ST. Paul road is
known to be a Morgan system
and with the firm OF j. +. Nor.
gan d Company at the head of
80 per cent Of the ore mining
companies of the Menominee
range it is but natural that much
Of the ore hauling business of
their mining interests that has
in the past gone to the North
Western will be diverted to the
ST. Paul. In fact. u st. Paul
official is known TO have made
the statement some time ago
that his system will haul 1000
900 tons OF ore next season.
Some go SO far as 10 assert
that the move for peace in the
steel manufacturing business
was likewise a move for peace
in tho orc hauling business.
The Milwaukee road needs the
ore business 10 take the place of
her waning log business on the
Superior division. To get it she
must displace the North Western
and without a lever to bring it
about, that is not any easy thing
10 do for the North Western is q
we'll managed system. Getting
the control Of the bulk Of the
mining business has given Nor
gan the desired leverage and il
may have been the thought Of
keeping up the earnings Of his
transportation systems as well
as maintaining the equity in
steel stocks that prompted Mr.
Morgan in his Napoleonic deal.

mise, time alone will tell. In

Tho Monongahela.

This property has been taken
by the Lake Angelina Mining
company. Of which Jones &
Laughlin. the Pittsbnrg iron
manufacturers. are the princi-
pals, Captain Walters and Agent
kidder were here Thursday and
completed arrangements with
Mr., Scadden for the continue
ton of work at the mine. The
deal was brought about by Chas
Harding. who received from
Mr.. Scadden a short time option
on the mine. The taking Of this
property by the Lake Angeline
people is a good thing for Crys
tai Falls and feather in Mr.
Harding's cap.
The mine will be pumped out
and an inspection made Of the
bottom workings after which the
shaft will be sunk another level
and drifting done al greater
depth. All agree that The
Monongahela is a promising
property and that it will develop
into another Columbia.

The Orc Market.

The conditions in the pig iron
market are regarded by the ore
interes, as working steadily to-
wards better basis for ore
prices in 1901 than has been
thought likely at any time in the
past two months. Yet il IS be
lieyed that conservative elements
will be influential in fixing prices
and that the interests of mer-
chant furnacemen will be consult
ed. What the effect OF the
greater consolidation will be up
on the situation is not clear as
yet. Apart from the Carnegie
Steel Co the constituent COM
panies have not sufficient as
sortment Of old range ores for
their own needs, and therefore
will be in the market to some ex-
tent 1t IS believed the an
nouncement OF ore prices for tie
year will be made within the

consolidation there would have

an agreement that If q tn rty-day

price shall be So per share. The
price named falls short of the
