BUYS CANISTE0 NINE HOLDINGS.
Steel Corporation Takes Over Lands
On Western Mesaba.

The Oliver Iron Mining company,
the mining division of the United
States Steel company, has acquired
the lands of the Canisteo Mining
company in 1924 on the western
Mesaba, thereby increas sing its
holdings in that part of the range
to considerab BILE extent. The can.
isteo Mining company, which is
composed of c. A. Congdon, G. G.
Hartley and their associates, has
been conducting explorations in
the town described for the past
three years.
The handling of the Canisteo
properties as mining proposition,
is one that requires ample capital,
as the water charges will be excess
sive and the stripping of the lands:
will be expensive, for the over
burden of earth is heavy. The ores
of the western Mesaba as rule con-
tain more or less sand, though &C.
casional clean bodies of ore are en-
countered, and the prospect of hav-
ing to handle two or more tons of
the product in the natural state to
get one ton of merchantable ore
does not make the outlook very in
viting to mining man accustomed
to taking ore from the pit or shaft.
Only company equipped for
handling such ore On large scale,
and with the most modern facilities,
would find it desirab BILE. The sand
will be eliminated by a washing
process.
The Oliver Iron Mining company
also has the Arcturus and Diamond
properties on the western Mesaba.
There will be no ore shipped this
year from any of the steel corpora
ton ore lands on the western Me-
saba, and it is uncertain whether
the Mesaba road will be extended
to that part of the Mesaba district.

MAY TRANSFER ITS ORE n0l DlNGs.
Steel Corporation Again Seeking the
Great Northern Mining interests.

A report is again in circulation
to the effect that the steel corpora
ton is taking over the ore holdings
of the Great Northern on the Me-
saba range. It is said to have had
it's origin in the East, but it cannot
be confirmed. About two years ago
it was known that negotiationszwere
in progress between the two cor
porations looking to transfer of
the ore holdings but the deal was
not consu1nmated.
It seems to have been taken for
granted for some time that
eventually the steel corporation
will acquire these lands. A trans
action of this kind would not neces-
sarily involve the payment of
money at present, or even an out
right purchase. The deal that was
in progress two years ago, accord
ing to high authorities, was that
the Great Northern was to receive
$3.50 ton for ore at the Superior
docks. All this may have been
changed and an entirely new deal
placed under consideration.
But it is we'll known that the
prime feature of any deal that Mr..
Hill of the Great Northern makes
will be ore tonnage for his road.
When the original deal was in pro-
gress Mr.. Hill stipulated that a
certain amount per year of ore was
to be delivered by the steel corpora
ton and would not necessarily
have to come out of the Hill prop
critics but from any of the proper
ties that the steel corporation
found it most convenient to ship
from. A minimum tonnage to be
furnished annually was agreed on
and this was to be gradually in
creased each year until it amount
ed to 100000 tons annually.
The J. ]. Hill interests on the Me-
saba have been increasing for the
past seven years, during which
time consistent policy has been
pursued, until the properties have
reached an extent second only to
those of the steel corporation.
There is no way of getting any
thing like close estimate of the
extent of the Hill iron holdings,
but they are estimated by various
people from 100000 to 4OO,OOOOOO
tons. Some of the Great Northern
ore lands are now under lease to
operating companies, but there are
still extensive bodies of ore con-
trolled by the road. 1t has been
favorite method with Mr.. Hill to
assist intending buyers of ore
mines to part of the cash required,
in return for contract for the
traffic at the going rate He has
tied up vast amount of ore in this
manner. The Great Northern road
expects to deliver $4,000 tons of
ore at its docks at Itasca this year.

What Makes the Sky Blue?

From Success Magazine.
 The sky has long been puzzle to physicists. There are two mysteries to explain it-its reflection of light and its color. The old view was that the blue of the sky was due simply to atmospheric oxygen. Oxygen has faint blue tint. and the idea was that several miles of the gas, even when diluted as it is in the air, would have a bright blue color But this did not account for the intense H. Illumination of the sky, and of recent years Tyndalrs "dust theory" or some modifi cation of it, has been generally accepted. This regards the blue color as an opti cal effect, like the color of very thin smoke due to excessively fine particles floating in the air, which would also &C., count for the large proportion of re- fected light from the sky. Recent calcu- lations by Professor Spring of Liege, Bel gium, however. indicate that the dust in the air is not sufficient in amount, nor finely enough divided, to support this explanation, and he rejects 1t for this and other reasons. He has gone back to the old oxygen theory, and accounts for the general illumination of the sky on the hypothesis first advanced by Hagenbach, that intermingled layers of different density, in the atmosphere give it the power of refiecting light.

A Definition of "Gentleman."

Cardinal Newman.
 It Is almost the definition of gen tleman to say he is one who never inflicts pain. He has his eyes on all his company; he is tender to- ward the bashful, gentle toward the distant, and merciful toward the ab- surd; he can recollect to whom he is speaking; he guards against unrea- sonable allusions or topics which may irritate; he is seldom prominent in conversation, and never wearisome. He makes light of favors while he does them, and seems to be receiving when he is conferring He never speaks of himself except when com pelled, never defends himself by a mere retort; he has no care for slan- der or gossip, is scrupulous in imput- ing motives to those who interfere with him, and interprets everything for the best. He is never mean or little in his disputes, never takes un- fair advantage, never mistakes per sonalties or sharp sayings for argu- ments, or insinuates evil which he dare not say out.

No Forts Needed in Canada.

Possibly Canada will not be satisfied
until a chain of forts stretches along
her southern border from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. This in spite of the
fact that the United States have not
the remotest intention of invading. In
the days of the late lamented "Riche-
lieu" otherwise known as Robinson,
the lions tail was twisted periodically
and with vigor, usually in the house
Of representatives, though it is proper
to observe that the lion did not know
It. But twisting has gone into desue-
tude of the innocuous variety, and
Fenians no longer entertain the hope
of taking Toronto or Quebec. More
over, 1t is worthy of remark that the
chain would be no Observation-Disclosures
would be plenty of room between the
forts. Canada has better use for the
money they would cost.-Brooklyn

Popularity Of the Uniform.

The popular vogue of the uniform Is
a remarkable phase of American life.
From hall boys to master of the
hounds, among federal, state and city
employees, on railroads, in hotels and
in some private houses, in the service
of corporations. on the decks Of pleas
ure yachts, everywhere, high or low,
the uniform is in evidence. This
change in the American employe
whom Dickens saw lounging about in
seedy store clothes" has been a rad
ical one outwardly. 1t has done much
for personal neatness, perhaps some
thing for politeness in public servants.
What influence 1t is exerting on char
acter Is not obvious. Is it tending to
inculcate servility?-New York World.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS LINES.
Teaching Is the Most Popular Form Of
Occupation,

According to the report of the Gen.
sus Bureau there are 327,614 women
employed as school and college and

will be seen the number Of women
who teach is more than double that of
the next most popular occupation, that

en- are employed. Next come clerks
and copyists, S5,246, then stenogra-
pliers and typewriters, Ills, and then

women number as follows: 11,031 art
ISIS and art teachers, 2,193 journalists,

every sort of work, except the duties
