THE ORE MARKET.

The movement of ore from the mines
is progressing rather slowly. Owing
20 the fact that the sale OF bessemer
ores is at standstill, there is no dis
position to hurry shipments Vessel
men are not respondent, however, as
they anticipate that when ore buying
sets in business on the lakes will be
much more lively. Shippers concur
in this expectation and express fear
that there will be congestion at the
lower docks later in the season. They
say that dispatch is not MS good as it
was this time last year. Iron Trade

Gribble came to Crystal Falls from

SECTION 30.

In conversation with a Diamond
Drill reporter the other day, Matt
Lee stated that his last official act for
the Cole 81 Mcdonald firm was to place
five drills at work on the famous
section 80 on the Vermilion iron range
in Minnesota. This is the section that
has been in litigation for many years
and to which the ownership was re-
Gently established by decision of the
u. $. courts ousting the claim that
the Minnesota Iron company, now a
portion Of the Steel Corporation had
on the property. MIR. Lee stated that
the utmost secrecy is being maintained
regarding the work now to be done
upon the property
In this connection statement from
he Philadelphia News Burea is in
teresting. 1t says
1t is stated semi officially that Henry
X. McHarg has practically completed
with Messrs. Shields and Clergue
negotiations for the purchase of Section
80 ore deposit in the Yermilion Range
Minnesota, by the Consolidated Lake
Superior Company.
The whole question from Con-
solidated Lake Superior standpoint, as
the News Bureau has
pionted out all along, is the terms on
which the Section 80 property has been
or ifoto be acquired from the Section
80 6w0Ars-that is whether the Con-
solidated Company gets in on the
ground floor. or whether 1t loses the
cream to Intermediates.
The Section 80 property has been
the subject Of litigation lasting &c
years Another interesting fact is that
every producing mine on the Vermilion
range is owned by the United States
Steel Corporation. The Section 30
Company would be the only outsider
actually mining on the range.

PLEASURE COMES HIGH.

1t is estimated that $5OOOOOOO is invested in the
pleasure OF the land.
In the olden days when the merchant prince was
not ashamed to tend jib sheets or take brace at
the halliards, it did not cost so much.
But now the giltedged yachtsman is obliged to
have steam yacht, and for such there are $40,
100000 invested in this country 1t would be an
easy matter to mention twenty-five American steam
yachts whose aggregate value is s10,00O0OO
Many a rich who has conceived that he was
gold-lned has wilted when he tried TO support
yacht One rich gentleman said recently that he
reckoned on a cost of $1,000 day as long as his
yacht was in commission, and another claimed to
have spent $4,000 for the maintenance of his 20
foot yacht last year.
Is it any wonder that only syndcates care to
tackle the problem of an international cup de-
fender. except perhaps such men as have world,
wide grip on incomes of the people?

TIE VALUE OF LIFE.
c K, z p / Z o r.

Does man really attach that value to his life
that the Law does?
When life is taken the whole force Of state is
exerted to punish the offender. and if life IS threat
ened the military is added the civil authorities in
an attempt to protect that life No matter how de
graded the person, his life is held above property
and all else by the statute.
What does the individual do to prove this statute
assertion? Does he utilize the minutes given him?
Do hours really count for much in his scheme OF
life? Does he not neglect entire days and throw
them away as utterly worthless?
Of what is the average person thinking today?
Is he enjoying the present moment or is he looking
forward to some future hour? Does the laborer
cast his eye up to the clock worried because time
flies so rapidly, is he thinking how slowly it
drags along and how many hours or minutes must
pass before the welcome period OF refreshment?
Isn't there something in the future; this evening
tomorrow next week or next month that the average
individual is looking forward 10 with actual i'm
patience Doesn't he sigh and wish that the day
Icnged for was at hand? If this is true how can he
claim that he values life He is prodigal of
his days than is the spendthrift of his dollars.
In reply one may assert that the event toward
which he looks is absorbing and so delicious as
70 Justify the snuffing out of the interval But is it
so? When it arrives isn't it disappointing or at
least so transient in pleasure that he finds himself
again looking forward other anticipated joy
If life is of such great value would men yawn,
sleep to excess hate the whistle that calls to work
and long for the whistle that means the expiration
Of a half day or a whole day?
The greatest spendthrft on record; the man who
scuanders fortune in night is not so prodigal of
his wealth as the average person is of his time.
Should the whole force of government be at
command to protect life when the possessor places
so little value on the units of time that go to make
up that life? Or reversing the proposition shouldn't
the individual cherish the moments and utilize them
to some good purpose if their total Is worth the
thoughtful care of the statute book?

THE DISASTERS OF UNIFORMITY

Protests against that rule of labor unions which
reduces all members to the same level with the
same pay, regardless of services rendered are grow
ing louder. President Eliot recently denounced the
principle Of uniformity as a check to all progress,
and commended the man who insists on the right to
do his best work and receive pay accordingly. In
the last issue of the American Journal Of Sociology
the argument is renewed with force by William A
Giles, who has been president of the American
Society of Social Science He declares:
''To limit the production of the best man. or to
compel him to share equally with the unskilful in
competent, lazy would be grossly unjust and I'M
economical To make no distinction between
thoughtful and industry. and inaptitude and
sloth would be to remove that incentive to honest
endeavor that has been the greatest factor in
human progress"
The doctrine which Mr.. Giles advocates is the
only one which can be held for an instant by men
who have grasped the rudiments Of economic law.
The regulations of the labor union may be enforced
temporarily and locally; but it attempt to make
water flow up hill In the long run men will not be
denied the right to develop their highest capacities
and they viii shatter any yoke that binds them as
brother to the OK or cousin to the clod.
