In general the result Of the test
drilling on the Mesaba has been. to
confirm the general lines Of the
formation as mapped by the u: S.
Geological Survey, except that the
southern edge has been expanded
at several places, notably about
Hibbing. That was to be expected,
as the iron bearing formation dips
to the south.
The usual prices for drilling on
the Mesaba are three dollars foot
tor churn drilling and six dollars a
foot for diamond drilling.
In general it can be said that test.
ing with the drill has been very sat
lstactory on the Nesaba, and the
idea is likely to be adopted in many
other mining sections more extern
sively than heretofore.

EXPLORING FOR IRON ORE.
Kirby Thomas Writes of Methods
VOGUE on the Mesaba.

In the last issue of the Mining
world, of Chicago, Kirby Thomas
of West Superior, gives the follow.
ing concise account of the methods
employed in prospecting for iron
ore on this range:
The early day miner, his memory
fraught with many failures, origi
mated the expression, "Gold is where
you find it." The present day scien.
titic miner says, "Gold is where it
be" for he has learned the lesson Of
the rocks and does not any longer
go at his business in a blind and
haphazard manner.
This same lesson that the gold
miner has learned from experience
has been an active influence in di.
recting and aiding the explorations
for iron in the Lake Superior re-
gion. Many of the earlier efforts to
locate iron were indeed haphazard
but to day the iron prospector has
his geological map ever before his
eyes, and studies first and carefully
the geological fornrtion, before. ex
pending any m oney intesting. This
condition is notably true on the
Mesaba iron range in Minnesota
When once the general geological
character had h-en determined q
guide for the work of development
was esta blished. This has saved
many thousands of dollars to the
iron prospectors and explorers.
The Mesaba iron formation is q
narrow belt from one-half to two
and one-half miles wide and ove1
100 miles in length, extending from
Grand Rapids on the Mississippi

SENATE COMMITTEE DECIDES TO
REPORT CONVENTION FOR
RATIFICATION.
REPUBLICANS VOTE soLIDLy FOR IT
AMENDMENTS RELATING TO SAN
iTATIoN AND HARBoR CON-
TRoL ADOPTED.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has
directed Senator Cullom to report the
Panama treaty with three amend
ments. The Republican members
voted for the treaty, but only two
Democrats, Morgan and Money, were
present. The former voted against
the treaty and Mr.. Money stated that
he had not yet had time to consider
1t, as it was the first meeting of the
committee he had been able to attend.
The three amendments relate to
sanitation, limitation Of cities and con.
troll of harbors. The United States,
by the amendment relating to santa.
ton, Is granted more direct power In
all sanitary regulations. The amend.
ment concerning the limitation Of the
cities more specifically defines what
are the limits of Panama and Colon in
relation to the canal zone. The har-
Dor amendment gives the United
States control of the harbors for tho
purpose Of Improvements.
| On Saturday, at the meeting Of the
| foreign relations committee, Senator
Lodge offered motion which was
agreed to providing that at the next
meeting Of the committee the pending
amendments should be disposed of and
the question of reporting the treaty to
the senate should be taken up.
Members OF the minority say that
none Of their members were present
when the motion Of Senator Lodge
!, was adopted and this accounted for
their absence when the motion to re
port the treaty was adopted.

CHANCELLOR APPEALS TO REICRsTAG

A LARGE AREA.

Berlin, Jan. 1o-Further advices
from German Southwest Africa say
the Hereros are numbering settlers
and burning homesteads over wide
areas. The German colonial troops in
the disturbed districts are wholly in

natives.
Chancellor Won Buelow submitted to
Emperor William the dispatches re-
ceived on the subject by the govern
ment and the emperor sent for War

retary Won Tirpitz. The decision Of
the conference was to ask the reichs-

surrectlon came at time when the
governor and large portion of the
colonial troops were
subduing the BondeIsWarts Tribes,

uuence OF this and the remaining
forces being scattered among the vari-
Gus places Of refuge In the middle OF
the colony the natives were seriously
threatening Okajundjy, Otjumhlngwe

The government, before the last dis
patches had been received. had or
dered 500 men, with six machine guns
and six pieces Of artillery, to be placed
in readiness for active service, but
start could not be made before Jan.

The serious intelligence now at hand

Mr.. Hale (Me) addressed that body

FAITH IN czAR's WORD.
Diplomats at ST. Petersburg Believe
He Desires Peace.

ST. Petersburg. Jan. l9.-The cars
assurance given at the winter palace
Jan A. on the occasion Of the New
Years reception, that he desired and
intended to do all In his power to
maintain peace in the Far East is re-
garded by the foreign diplomats as a
hostage given to the world for the
preservation OF peace. while the guar
antee that Russia will recognize the
open ports and other concessions in
MAnchuria will. II is thought, place the
onus Of a rupture on Japan.
Most OF the newspapers here join in
the peaceful chorus. one paper remark
ing, however. that 1t was strange for
Russians to first hear Of the cars
words by way of America.
The Novoe Vremya. referring to the
reports OF the offer of good offices
from the United States, France and
Great Britain, asks:
"ls such action necessary when the
whole world has been informed what
his majesty has graciously been
pleased TO say to the diplomats at the
winter palace? How is 1t possible to
render further service to the cause OF
peace after the cZar has announced
that he will direct all his influence to
maintain It? A more precious guaran-
tee that Russia will not draw the
sword it is impossible to conceive"
The Novoe Vremya concludes as fol.
lows
Japan is in an unfortunate position
and will require great tact to avoid
the dangers arising from the good
Offices Of officious friends"
AS sidelight on the situation the
Moscow Gazette announces that it's
editors and other employees are donat-
ing their salaries to the purchase of
swift privateer and adding that the
sum Of $4,000 has already been raised
for this purpose.

water from st. Paul and Minneapolis
to Cairo, a distance of 1000 miles. to
be completed by the time the Panama
canal Is put into operation, is the
project advocated before the house

delegation consisting of Governor S.
r. Van SAINT OF Minnesota, Ellis 3.
Usher Of La Crosse Wis; Captain
Alonzo Bryson of Davenport, Ia;
Frank Galen Of ST Louis and Lewis B.
Boswell Of Quincy, ILL.,
The total cost Of the improvement
is estimated at $15,000,000. No specific
part of this amount was asked by the
delegation, the principal object being
to impress the committee with the
necessity of authorizing the project.
An association known as the Upper
Mississippi Improvement company,
representing five states bordering on
the Upper MISSISSIPPI, has been or.
ganized for the purpose of advancing
the project. Governor Van SAINT told
the committee that fifty cities were
directly interested in the project and
that 100000 people would be bene-
flied through the assurance of river
competition in transportation.
