the Crust of Old Mother Earth
in the Mesaba Range.

The greatest ore deal in the world
was that in which J. J. Hill trans
ferred the right to mine the Hill prop
critics in the Mesaba range to the
United States Steel corporation Few
realized when they read the news item
involved.
1t is believed by conservative judges
that the United States Steel corpora
ton now has in it's possession the
largest individual reserve deposit to
be found in the world. 1t has been
estimated that there is beneath the
relatively shallow blanket of turf COW
ering the ore on the Mesaba range
and in the Michigan beds just across
the head of Lake Superior, about
2,200,000,O0 tons of ore. OF this the
steel trust controlled before it secured
the right to delve in Mr.. Hills iron
pile about 1,250,0OO,O0O tons of ore,
an asset on the basis of one dollar a
ton, which exceeds the entire capital
stock of the trust-$1 100, 100000. Now
it can draw on a total deposit of $780,
1000 tons, an asset of as many dol
lars. On this valuation it would re.
Quire approximately two-thirds of the
entire money supply of the country to
pay cash for this deposit.
How big pile of ore is it that
the trust now controls and how long
will it last? A ton of ore does not al
ways occupy the same space. Some
ore weighs more to the cubic foot
than other ore. The average con-
tents of ton are between nine and
ten cubic feet. Say nine cubic feet.
Then the trust has secured from Mr..
Hill and allied interests pile 100
feet deep, a mile wide and mile and
three-fifths long.
How long will this giant heap of
iron wealth keep the steel trust sup
piled with ore? Last year the trust
took away from its mines in the Lake
Superior region 1925, S72 tons. This
was Sc per cent, or little more than

ore produced in the world II 1908,
which amounted to 1O1, 1876, 00O tons,
more than a third was mined in the
United States, fifth in Germany, and
1875 per cent. in Great Britain. From
the soil of two states alone, Mime
sofa and Michigan, nearly $4,000, 900
tons was brought forth from the
mines, or about 100000 more than
the Industrious inhabitants of the
German empire took out of their part
of the earth's crust. All of this ore
came from the mines about the west
ern end of the greatest of the great
lakes. While iron ore was mined in
20 other states and two territories
that year, only one-Alabama-pro-
was 3,64S,96O tons. The steel trust
has reached into the future and has
assured itself of supply of the es-
sential raw material sufficient to last
more than two generations.
In order to make sure of 20 years
supply, in addition to the so or sc
years stock on hand, it has agreed
to pay the highest royalties ever paid
for the right to mine iron ore. The
steel trust will pay to Mr.. Hills com,
panies royalty of IS cents ton
for hauling it to the upper lake piers,
with an increase of "a cents ton
each succeeding year. It has. agreed
to take out 10000 tons in 1907, and
to increase the amount each year by
750, 900 tons, until the amount reaches
S,25O,O00 tons. That means that in
1917 the trust will take the maximum
