Ore Reserves.


The contemplated deal for the
leasing of the Hill ore lands to the
United States Steel corporation TO-
cuses attention once more upon the
probable total reserves Of the Lake
Superior regions. Excluding some
very considerable ore bodies in the
Hill holdings which arc otherwise
taken up, it is believed that the re-
serves Of the properties which can be
turned over to the Steel corporation
represents at the minimum estimate
300, 1000, 900 tons. 1t is curious that
the trade has not been in possession,
from time to time, of more concise
estimates of the total reserves OF iron
ore in the Lake Superior region, The
old statement Of the geological sur
vey, of three quarters Of a billion tons
was but a rough estimate, intended
above all TO be conservative, yet it was
widely quoted and accepted for quite
while as more or less Of tinality.
Then years afterward, came the esti-
mate of Mr.. Schwab of the ores con-
trolled by the Steel corporation, at
700,000,000 tons. This estimate saw
the light in the worst of all possible
ways, lawsuit, where the premises
are totally different from those which
would be assumed in commercial es-
innate, and perhaps not clearly de-
fined beside. The geological survey
estimate gave way to a popular one of
something like billion tons, or per-
haps a billion and a half. 1t is GER
tainly quite safe to say now that the
reserves, known to one interest or an
other, are oyer rather than under a
billion and half.
This, however, is but small part
of the question. Over and over again
it has been claimed that new discov-
cries were practically impossible, so
thoroughly had the territory been ex-
plored, but the discoveries have not
stopped, and where one body, proven
up to certain tonnage, has been
disappointment, "a dozen have dis
closed far greater extent.
The total of the known reserves of
the whole Lake Superior region has
never been decreased. Despite the
large tonnage taken out, each year
has seen greater known total. The
new discoveries or developments have
exceeded the Withdrawals at all times.
AS long as that remains the case it
seems unwise to speak with any con-
fidence about the time when ultimate
exhaustion may be expected. There
is another reason why the time of de-
mise of the Lake Superior region as
the chief ore supply Of the country
should be discussed with reserve, and
chat is no rule that it can be deduced
from the past as to the rate OF In
crease Of consumption, year by year,
which will not point to exhaustion in
much less than half the time which
would be required should mining be
continued only at the highest rate
heretofore experienced-the rate of
nearly 100000 tons in 1905. The
rate Of increase from year to year has
been sol rapid that startingly large
tonnages should come in a very few
years; so large that in comparison the
present annual tonnage will appear a
mere bagatelle.

The true remedy Is to give the people of the Philippine Islands the power to control their own legislation by raising them from their present con dition to that of an autonomous col ony. like Canada or Australia. Let them take care of their own interests, and enact such protective tariff as will best develop the resources of their country and the capacities of its peo- pie As we do not mean to incorporate them into our country, and as we can only harm ourselves by our favors to them. let them take care of themselves. and legislate to make their country q prosperous and self-sufficient country. We have no more business to enact tariffs for them than they have to ell act tariffs for us. By keeping them in their present position. we are putting a weapon into the hands of the enc mics of our protective policy which they are astute enough to value at its full worth. We are putting that policy into the attitude of an inhumanity to- ward an unprotected and suffering peo- pie. We are justifying the plea that protection means unadulterated selfish ness. whereas the true protectionist wants nothing for his country he does not wish every other country to attain to- His aim is the maximum of na- tional life throughout the world, and he applauds every country which takes steps to secure this in the development of the industries for which it has nat ural fitness and resources.

There is fear in some quarters that the big liberal victories in the English elections will not help the Irish home rule party. One writer says. however, that in any event, the accession of the liberals to power means gain to the Irish cause. though by no means such as the people of-Ireland have the right to expect. There was no going down the stairs when the union was forced upon them in 1sJ0.

It was the largest December on record for both imports and exports. the total imports during the month being S101 100000 and the total exports amounting to almost $199.0O0.G0O. \ year ago the imports for December were $96,000,0OO and the exports S145.- 000,00O This enormous increase of SJ4.000gO0 in exports was an extreme ly satisfactory feature, and explains why gold exports have not been as large as at one time feared. It was not only due to large shipments of az ricultural products, but also to an un- usual gain in our exports of manufac- tures This. too. is feature for self
