 Estimates of Present Crop.
 The chief problem at present In esti- mating the size of the crop fs hos much cotton will be realized from the unopened but well developed bolis which were ex- posed to the frosts of November H and the unfavorable weather since that date. On November 6. I thought the outlook was for a crop of u.2o0.O0o bales. but in view of the rainy weather which preceded and also followed the killing frosts of Novem- Der 2 and the effect of such conditions to delay or prevent the opening of the bolls, 1t now seems probable that the crop may not exceed 100000 bales. The fol. lowing are among the estimates of the present crop:

1t is trite saying, but by no means
an embalmed idea, that the produc-
ton and the demand for iron is the
barometer of national prosperity. 1t
enters into SO many forms of service,
and is in so close touch with the
nerve centers of industry. that like
heart beat it registers the normal or a
feverish condition of the body. Where
the native resources of raw material
are abundant, and where enterprise is
in ratio with their richness and mas
sivenesS, and the best of his opportuni-
ties in the turnout of finished pro-
ducts, the road to prosperity is direct
and unobstructed. Where supplies,
however, are lean enterprise is close
to the bone, ans as no man can make
lobster out of a shrimp, or an oyster
out of clam, there is a manifest
inability to keep a lame horse i'll the
front line. 1t is a clear case of sub
traction in the arithmetic of trade.
A country void of mineral resources is
thus at a manifest disadvantage and
has to import what it cannot make
for itself, and the one-legged man has
to lose in a race with him who has
twain Of pedals.
IL Is the SOOQ lOTJuHe- Oh the ODlteQ
States to be rich in the material re-
sources that enter into the manufac-
ture of implements and machinery, in
the construction of locomotives and
engines, in the structure of bridges
and of steel-ribbed buildings; in rails,
wire and nails, in hardware and cut
lery, and the thousands of frames in
which iron and steel are constituents.
The result is a continuous series of en-
terprises, and a wedlock relationship
of the skill and endeavor There is no
surprise in the enormo Gus output of its
mines, mills and furnaces. They are
simply the logical output of existing
conditions. The more apple the more
cider. We are fat or lean as we masti-
cate and digest, while the hungry man
goes into the bone yard as a museum
skeleton. We are leaders in the worlds
production of iron and steel for the
sound reason that we cannot help it.
We are only normal when competitors
tab us as phenomenal. We are high
er on the staircase because of longer
legs. We have adjusted our efforts to
our resources and opportunities, and
the end thereof is not yet in sight. The
capital invested in the iron and steel
industry Of the United States is placed
by the census report of 1900, as $780,

So PER YEAR IN ADVANCE

1914 in height. The carriage of ore
out of Lake Superior alone is about
66 per cent of the traffic both into and
out of the lake-of such preponderat-
ing influence is the ore trade.
At present ore reserves are increas-
ing more rapidly than shipments
though in a far less ratio. While it
is hard to estimate accurately the
amount of ore discovered during the
past year, it is safe to put it at not
less than 100000 tons. Practically
all of this has been brought to light
upon the Mesaba range, that most pro-
life ore carrying formation yet found
in the worlds history. Most of what
has been opened on the Mesaba has
been in the district Immediately about
Hibbing though careful and consis-
tent work elsewhere is disclosing good
bodies of ore.
What there may be "in sight in
the Lake Superior region is a delicate
question. The estimates of the Uni
ted States geological survey, giving
500,G00,G00 tens for the Mesaba anc
half as much for all other ranges COM
bined, is well known to be far too low
In one six-mile stretch of the Mesaba
range there is half as much. Many
mine that years ago was looked upon
as near its end, as practically eX-
hausted, is now a bigger property than
ever, u larger annual producer and
with more ore in reserve than at any
time in its history. This has so often
been the fact that except in especially
simple formations it is daring thing
to predict the end Of an ore body
1t is now generally conceded that the
price at which Lake Superior ores
have been sold is lower than it will be
in the future. Refusal to sell on the
open market and the absorption of re-
serves by large interests, restricting
markedly the supply for general sale,
is forcing this step, and it takes no
prophet to fortell the change. 1t is
not to be supposed that next years
mining will increase in the ratio of
1902, or that the shipment of the COM
ing season will be very much in ex-
cess OF that now past The mainte-
nance of present reserves, together
with the movement of what ore may
be required for furnaces in the twelve
months, is looked upon as about the
program. Stocks on Lake Erie docks are
now 100000 tons more than year
ago, and furnace yards are full of ore.
The same conditions prevail at Chica
go and other lower lake points.

whether or not ore was struck those in
charge refuse to say. 1t is thought
however, that nothing of paying ma
ture was found as orders had been
given only day or two previous to
the shutdown to move the drills to
new locations on the land.
The work was being done by the
sharon Iron company and the recent
turning over of their properties to the
Union Steel company is said to be re-
spoEsible for the closing down of their
explorations at this point.
The orders to stop drilling came as
surprise to everyone connected with
the work as it was understood when
the Sharon people took hold last sum-
ner that they intended exploring the
property thoroughly.
The shutdown, however, may be onIy
temporary and it is thought that
should the Sharon company or their
successors refuse to explore the land
further no trouble will be experienced
by the owners in getting another con-
Germ to take up the work as indica-
lions point strongly to 4 large body of
ore being found at no great depth

Wan SAINT on the Primary Law.

Governor Van SAINT in his message
to the legislature, approves of the pri-
mary election law. He says it has Civ
en- satisfaction, on the whole but he
suggests the following changes:
"A change in the time of holding the
Primaries seems to meet with popular
favor, and after mature consideration
[ recommend that a change be made
providing for the holding of the pri-
maTies late in June or early in July.
1 also recommend that the filing of
certificates of candidates be limited to
thirty days prior to the date of the
primary election. l am also of opinion
that IL would be advisable to so amend
the Law that a person desiring to be-
come an Independent candidate be
compeileds to take the necessary steps
prior 10 the primary election and not
afterNai3s as he may do under the
present law.$ 1t would be we'll also,
for yen TO consider whether it would
not be, wise to so amend the law that
the different tickets would appear on
one ballot rather than for the elector
to call for the ticket representing his
political views. With such an amend
ment the voter would vote only the
one ticket representing the party with
which he affiliates. Many other
amendments will probably be suggest
ed and will undoubtedly receive your
careful consideration. It is desirable
to perfect the law as nearly as possible
at this session. as there are many de-
fects SIS. experience has shown"

MINING MATTERS.

The United States Steel Corpora
ton this year moved from it's own
mines trifle more than 10000,OOO
gross tons of ore; it carried on it's own
railways to Lake Superior 100000
tons; it moved on its own ships about
$500, 600 tons and OH it's chartered ships
5000, 900 tons and it carried forward
from lower Lake receiving docks to its
furnaces OH it's own roads about ST.
O0O, 900 tons. There has been a good
profit in every one of these operations,
so that the ore has paid the mining
company, the land and water transpor-
tation has paid the roads and boats,
and the ore has even then been de-
livered at the lower Lakes at a price
lower, in some cases, than outside and
rival concerns have been able to Sc
cure it.
The officials viii have a celebra
ton in Ishpeming sometime next sum-
mer to commemorate the first mining
work done fifty years ago by the Lake
Superior Iron company.
One interesting feature of the ore
trade in recent years is the remarka-
BILE gain that has been made in the
percentage of Mesaba ores used in the
furnaces. AT one time % per cent. of
Mesaba ore was thought to be as
much as could be used in the furnace
mixture. The amount has now in
creased to about one third The ore
in a number of the newer Mesaba
properties is lumpy and it may be US
ed in larger proportions in the fur
naces. Two years ago no Mesaba ore
that assayed under 60 per cent. was
considered fit to sell, and in mining
explorations no account was made of
the vast tonnages often running from
so to 60 per cent. Now all this is
changed. Millions of tons of ore rum
ing down to SO per cent. have been
shipped from the Mesaba range this
year, together with large quantities
from other ranges that assay not more
than 40 to As per cent. in iron.
George A. ST. Clair, of Duluth, has

luth, who is the representative of the
Cleveland firm, will be manager this
year, and Robert Murray, Jr., of Mega

properties. 1t is understood that Mr.

Malta lease Pickands, Mather & Co.,

ties produced about 100000 tons last
year, and will put out about the same
this year.
In Canada the Michipicoten range
is not making good the promise of its
opening. On the Atikokan range,
north of this end of the Mesaba, a good
deal of exploring is going on, and the
results are encouraging. The ore in
the district is titaniferous as a rule,
but it is thought that large deposits
of high-grade Bessemer ores may be
/ opened in time.
One of the largest and most inter
esting deals in undeveloped lands that
/ has been made for some time is the Sc
| curing of an option on 5000 acres of
| the Mesaba company's land in sections
6O-12 and G0-13, by r. B. Whiteside.
100000 was paid for the option and

time

Steel company of which w. J. West

season than it did last summer The
mine is being stripped extensively
during the winter The Sharon is the
largest ore body owned by the Union
Steel company, and it is easily mined
and reduced. It's output last summer
was 100000 TONS
Jones & Laughlins of Pittsburg have
