OLIVER co. PROMOTIONS
w. j. West Promoted to General
superintendent of the
HibbinS Group.

The annual meeting of the Oliver
Iron Mining company was held Satur-
day in Duluth. The business was
purely routine. except that number
Of promotions were made. These, in
part, were in connection with the re-
signation of L. w. Powell as assistant
general manager to become third vice
president in charge Of the Bonanza
circle copper properties at Bisbee.
Pentecost Mitchell, general super
intendent of the Oliver Iron company
mines in the Hibbing district, has
been elected general manager of the
company.
w. ]. Olcott, who is president of
the Duluth. Missabe & Northern road
and vice president Of the Oliver Iron
Mining company, has heretofore held
also the title of general manager OF
the mining company, but Mr.. Nit
chell has never succeeded to that Office.
The magnitude of the operations of
the steel corporation in the Lake SUI
perior region has necessitated certain
readjustments of duties. Mr.. Nit
chell is now resident of Hibbing but
it is understood that he will make his
headquarters in Duluth in the future.
j. H. McLain who has been general
superintendent of the Gogebic range,
with headquarters at Ironwood, has
been elected assistant general manag-
er of the Oliver Iron Mining company
and hereafter his headquarters will
be in Duluth.
W.. West who has been assistant
to Mr.. Mitchell in the Hibbing dis
trict succeeds him as general super
intendendent OF the group Of fifteen
mines. The many friends of Mr..
West on the ranges are more than
pleased over the promotion and ali
join in congratulations. He is d
young man who has worked from the
ground up until at present he holds
one Of the most responsible posi-
tions on the ranges. Pluck, push.

MINNESOTA ORES
Thirteen Hundred Million Ton
the Estimated Amount.

The extent OF the iron ore proper
ties OF Minnesota are estimated at
thirteen hundred million tons, Of
which the Hill share is half q billion
tons. The distribution of ore hold
ings Is as follows: United States
Steel corporation, soc, 1000, 900; Great
Northern, 500, OO0, 900, miscellaneous.
200, 00O, 900; total, l, 300, 000, 900. When
Charles NJ. Schwab estimated the
Steel corporations ore resources as
worth 500, OOO, 900 he was accused of
being an optimist. But that repre-
sented only zoe, 0OO. 900 tons, at a yalu-
alton Of 81 per ton, OF which amount
100000, 900 have since been used, leav-
ing an actual balance OF 600. 000. 900,
for Mr.. Schwab's estimate was not ex-
aggerated. II there were no more
than that which the Steel corpora
tion has and it used only 10000, 900
tons year, the supply would be ex-
hausted In twenty years. As it Is the
supply will not last much longer than
that, because the consumption is like
~ to exceed 10000, 900 tons year for
the next thirty years. The past year
the output was $4,000, 900 tons and
next year it Will be about $1,000, 900
divided as follows: United States
Steel corporation, 100000; inde-
pendents, 100000; under Great
Northern lease, 100000, The ore
that Mr.. Schwab figured at 81 ton Is
today worth twice that amount, per-
haps three times, figuring on what
the ore lands could be bought for on
the market. Mr.. Hill is not going to
sell his share for any price likely to
be offered. In conversation recently
he said that IL the Steel corporation
should sell him ore for 81 or % per ton
he would turn around and seliit back
them for IS per ton, because they
nave to have it to stay in the steel
business. II anyone induces Mr.. Hill
to part with his holdings In these
mines it will be at Mr.. Hills price.
His holdings cover 10000 acres. OF
which 81 900 acres are between for
nation lines or what are called the
hanging or foot walls. Last year the
Great Northern handled $500, 600 tons
and in 1906 it will haul 1000. 900 tons.
