The Duluth, Missabe & Northern road

this winter with steel of eighty pounds

rails and putting them on sidings. The
entire road from Duluth to terminals will
then be eighty and hundredpound STEEL
This road is building q line into the Hig-
gins mine new property of the United
States Steel corporation. which is to ship
the coming season. and is soon to let con-
tracts for other lines, two of which will
bring it into the Great Northern's ter
ritOry.
1t Is possible that the Sellwood in
terests will abandon their lease of Pearce
and Longyear mines, letting them revert
to the fee holders These interests have
been in process of reorganiza ton the past
few weeks.
The United States Steel corporation last
year mined 55 per cent Of all ore taken
out of Lake Superior mines. This is a
decline Of 2 9 per cent from It's proportion
the preceding year but the decline is ex-
planned by the fact that in 1902 it car
ried down lakes % per cent excess over
requirements.
Michigan mine, Menominee range
which was on the point of abandonment
last summer. is proving up better and
