James J. Hill Is credited with having
estimated the amount Of ore covered in
the lease to the United States Steel Cor
poraton at 5OO,o0O.O0O tons. TO the ore a
valuation of 50 cents and upward has been
given, making total for the entire
property of siOO.0O0,0O0. In some quar-
ters 1t is said Mr. Hilrs estimate Of the
amount Of ore is too high by as much as
l00000.000. or 50.0000OO tons. Taking the
extremely low estimate of 3J0OO0.000
tons as the content OF the lands
the ores are worth $3.50, 100000, the price
per ton being fixed and not a matter Of
controversy. The ore certificates selling
for 3 give a valuation Of $l25.OG,090 10
the ores. or less than half what they are
valued at on the basis Of the lowest esti-
mate Of the amount IN the ground. This
way of looking at the matter is becoming
popular with some shrewd traders. whs
have begun to speak Of the certificates
as All attractive speculation medium.

The sail is not to be displaced on

what discoveries are made in swifter

discusses the arrival at New York of
the new German sailboat, the largest
in the world: THE arrival in this port
of a new five-masted German bark
from Bremen, which is called the big
gest sailing ship afioat, indicates that
Kaiser Wilhelms practical subjects
agree with the equally practical Maine
yankees that the sail is not played

some 5000 tons, and as she has to
carry comparatively little coal for her
kicker engine and winches, her net
cargo capacity exceeds that of all but
the very largest steamships. Unless
some one invents new and cheaper
fuel than coal such craft are likely to
grow more numerous. In safety the
steamship has no great advantage over
them"
