1T IS STILL BUYING

Special to The Journal.
Ishpeming, Mich, April 30.-The United
States Steel corporation is still lin the
market for good properties, while its ac-
further witness to Its policy Of looking far
into the future as far as supplies Of ore
are concerned.
The task of acquiring mines was begun
several years ago in a systematic man
ner, and some wonderful bargains were
obtained. Among these, the big Chaplin,
Of the Menominee range. the Lake Su
perior and the Regent of the Marquette
range, the Norrie and the Tnden of. the
Gogebic range. the Chandler and the Pio-
neer Of the Vermillion range, and the
Mountain Iron, Savoy, Biwabk and 9TH
ers Of the Mesaba range, stand out prom
inentiy. When President T. F.. Cole szof
the Oliver Mining company. the iron ore
end Of the steel trust, advised and ar
ranged for the purchase of these proper
ties, it was thought by many mining men
that the. prices paid were too high. Now
it is easily seen they were, very low, and
that millions were gained for the COM
| pany over what similar properties could
| now be secured for
| In the opinion Of former commissioner
| Of mineral statistics, G. A. Newett of Isla-
peming. the Helen mine at; Michipicoten,
Ont, the chief source Of ore supply for
the Lake Superior Consolidated (Clergue)
company's steel industries at the 500, Is
not developing into the magnificent pro-
! portions prophesied by the 500 and Ca
madam press. 1t was advertised as a
| wonderful deposit that clearly showed
anywhere from fifteen millions to twenty
millions Of ore of high grade. Now, says
I Mr.. Newett, with less by far than a sin
gle million tons sent out, the Helen's linn
its are known and its time, Of activity will
1 not continue long in the future unlese
! something new is revealed. During the
past winter the shafts have been sunk
4 and the bottom will be broken out from
. these, continuing the open pit system
! thus far followed. The deposit ha.
l pinched until 1t is a small one compared
with the original showings on :. surface
and tn the opinion Of the Ishpeming au
thority the end is not far of. =.
The Helen mine ore gives from IS to S,
per cent iron, and Is high. in phosphorus
| averaging -0e5. There are frequent
punches OF iron pyrites met with. it ii
places paying to mine, the stun bringing
IS a ton on the cars. From all that HI
can learn, Mr.. Newett thinks the Ca
madam ore deposits have been exagger
ated as concerns their size and quality
The Clergue company is still exploring
for ore at other points, hoping to FIND
something better in the way of iron thar
thus far encountered - -. .;+.-s

inches. They are puddled and wrapped
In sphagmum moss and burlap, 100 in a
bunch. and are sent by express to the

as heavily timbered as northern Mime
sofa. ...s.. i. .- -
| Great care is taken in gathering the
seedlings, particularly that they have no
branches and few roots. The farmers are
hired to dig them after which they are
hauled to the city and inspected before

Phone Rates Made by the latter ignored
by the Former. -
sAULT STE: MARIE. MICH.-The tele-
phone question Is prominently before the
people of the 500. Some time ago the
council passed 3an ordinance fixing tele-
phone rates at $2f a year for business
places and $12 for residences, a special
committee having reported these figures
to be equitable. ,.-..g. - s,e.t I
The Michigan Telephone company, how
ever, ignores the action taken by the .coun-
Gil and Is still charging $36 for business
and $24 for residence phones. 1t denies
the authority of the council and claims to
be operating under a state law. Several
citizens have rendered to- the company the
prices fixed by the ordinance, but in each
case the proffer has been refused with
warning that unless the company's rates
were paid the service would be cut Oft.
Now a movement is on foot to test the
validity Of the ordinance; and a case that
will eventually find its way to the supreme
court will soon be commenced.
