Serious Clash Between Game War.

WISCONSIN.

PEPIN. WIs.-The trouble between fishermen
here and the Minnesota game wardens came to
climax yesterday with the arrest Of Game
Warden ira Wicks Of Wabasha.
The laws Of Wisconsin permit fishermen to fish
In the lake, but the laws of Minnesota do not.
Up to a year ago the minnesota warden asserted
the right to enforce the Minnesota law any
where on the lake. and test was taken thru
the Wisconsin courts to the supreme court 1t
was decided that the Minnesota wardens must
stay their side of the line.
The wardens contend that the center Of the
lake Is the line. while the fisherman say the
channel which runs close to the Minnesota shore
is the dividing place. -"
The wardens have staked out a line and Thurs
day caught Simon Norstrof and Leroy McGee
fishing with nets on the Minnesota side. The
hoys were taken to Wabasha, pleaded guilty
paid SAB fine and costs EACH and their nets
and fish were seized.
Yesterday Warden Wicks and three deputies
came to the lake to make another raid but
Deputy Sheriff Q. G. Fuller and four deputies
had a warrant charging Wicks with kidnapping
the boys the day before and demanded that
Wicks accompany them here. =
He refused to come, but upon the sheriff and
deputies drawing their rifles. he surrendered

Duluth, Mimi. Jan. 2.-The year
just past has been fully as eventful
as any of it's predecessors to the iron
ore trade of the United States. 1t
began with limitless confidence; 1t
ends with almost as decided doubt
and with the industry utterly at sea
as to the immediate future.
Things swung along splendidly till
after the turn of the year. In Au-
gust shippers We're not so insiStent.
In October there was a decline, which
in November amounted to slump
which made vessel men gasp. With
the inconsistency proverbial In the
ore trade, and little to be expected of
a business so, stable as that of iron,
those who a year ago talked thirty
million tons for 1908 now talk fifteen
million tons for 1904. -. ..
General and Other Causes.
Aside from the general causes for
the slump and known to everybody,
there were others. The enormous
shipment of the previous season had
been forced, and the new year had
come in with excessive amounts of
iron ore on hand and unconsumed.
Added to this was the importation
of foreign steel in the last half of
1902 and the first half Of 1908.
brought on Dy the scarcity Oh COKE loI
domestic furnaces as a result of the
strikes of 1902 In the coal regions.
This foreign steel displaced twice as
many tons of home ore. There were
several million tons of American ores
In excess of requirements on hand at
the beginning Of 1908, by reason of
these two facts.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, it is a wonder that the ore re-
gions Of Lake Superior have done SO
we'll, and the business of the year is
a matter of congratulation. 1t Is a
decline from the preceding year Of but
IL per cent, and 1T is 100000 tons
or 20 per cent, ahead of the total OF
1901. 1t is twice the great tonnage
of so recent year as 1897, and four
times that of 1893. Including this
year the mines of Lake Superior have
produced 244, 100000 gross tons Of the
finest iron ore the world has ever
seen, and of this half is the result
Of but seven brief years of effort.
Five years ago Minnesota was g
minor factor. In 1900 it. produced
about half of what was mined about
the lake. But in. 1908 its proportion
was SO per cent. BY Minnesota is
meant a single county. that of st
Louis, Of which Duluth is the sea
and business center.

finds. Undeveloped mines lost their
value, and those who had few weeks
before been eager buyers suddenly
lost interest and permitted their ne
gotlations to drop. That they will
be only too glad to pick them up
again a little later and to pay prices
that would have seemed high at the
top Of the recent boom there can be
no question, for very few of the in
dependent steel makers have ore
enough, and. without ore, what is the
use Of putting millions of money into
furnaces and rolling mills? -.
The United States Steel corporation
is gradually tightening its monopoly
Of the iron making trade Of the United
States by it's ownership Of the sources
of supply, and there is no way for
outsiders to get ore but to buy, or to
find, mines. So, while the number of
drills at work on the lake has sunk
from several hundred to- less than one
hundred at the close of the year, it
is only a calm before the renewed
demand that must come.
The probabilities are that 1904 will
be comparatively dull in the iron ore
mining world of Lake Superior, no
matter how active steel making may
become later in the year.

Large Stocks on Hand,

There usually remains on dock and
at furnaces at the close of navigation
each fall enough ore to last thru the
winter and to maintain furnace opera
tons we'll into the following year,
until midsummer at least. There are
now on docks at Lake Erie ports
alone, not to mention the stocks at
furnaces, and which are themselves
very large, the gross amount of
6,371,O00 tons. This, 1t is expected,
is sufficient to maintain furnace OPP
erations we'll toward the close Of the
coming season.
On account Of these unusually large
stocks and their influence on the
trade 1t Is impossible for mining men
to determine their course. They go
into the new year ignorant Of their
probable tonnage for 1904; the ore
hauling railroads are at sea as to
what they are tordo this year; the yes
sci men do not know what is expected
of them, and a state of uncertainty
exists all along the line. Were trade
to be suddenly revived to such a vol
ume as would quickly melt up these
stocks, it would be a comparatively
easy matter to tell what the coming
year is to bring forth.
With the trade in it's indefinite con-
dition, and with the assurance merely
of a lower price for pig iron and
iron ore tnan last year, mining LABOR
is content to take it's share Of the
shrinkage, and announcements made
the past week as to reductions OF
wages turnout the lake districts have
created only a ripple on the surface
Miners are in no mood to strike or to
hinder their own employment.
