1T is the Morgans and the RockclcI-

INTEREST GROWS KEENER.

Five or six years ago, during the
depression throughout the country,
the iron mines of the Mesaba did
not command anything like their
present value. Properties that
were passed over as of little conse.
quence then began to be looked up.
on with new interest about three
years ago. Two years ago the in.

it's.
One year ago found a veritable
iron ore boom in progress and it
has increased in intensity ever
since, with no diminution of in.
terest in prospect. The value of
iron ore properties is increasing all
the time. The lease which may
have been sold yesterday for a few
hundred thousand dollars cannot
be repurchased for million.
Properties which sold for a few
thousand dollars two or three years
would bring hundreds of thousands
in the market today. When nature
has been so lavish On the Mesaba,
it is no wonder that. Duluth and
range men have made much
money during the boom. Ofcourse
many acquired fortunes in the
early days in iron discoveries in
Minnesota. Most of them are still
making money in the same manner
1t is principally with the men who
have acquired wealth during the
present activity since 1899, that this
story has to deal. ~.

probably half a dozen men with
his proposition about the s., 900 and
nobody seemed willing to take a
chance. At last Bill went after the
ore himself and the next thing we
knew he had sold the property for
$750Om. That was one of the times
when Bill gave his friends chance
at a good thing. 81.
: ], ROCKEFELLER's EXPERIENCES.
Speaking of good things reminds
me of what a prominent Duluth
man told me last week. He seemed
to be familiar with John D. Rookie
feller's experiences with Mesaba
range properties. He said that
John D. put $4,000, 1900 in The Mesaba
properties, mines and roads, and
disposed of them for about SCI, Geo.
600. But that is only part of the
story. He says that the: properties
which Rockefeller turned over for
$67y O0O, 900 are now considered worth
more money than the Standard Oil
magnate's combined wealth at the
present time, several hundred mill
ion dollars" e szzszs 1s.s z
