THREE IRON RANGES.

There are three distinct iron ranges
in the Lake Superior region; the Goge-
bic, on the southern shore. in Wiscon-
sin and Michigan; the Vermillon. and
the Missave. about so miles north of
Duluth.
"'The Y. s. Steel corporation covers
all these properties. The Vermilion ores
are hard, the Missave generally soft
and the blend to good advantage. The
Missave Is mined much cheaper.
with very little blasting, In
almost every case It is worked from
the open pit instead OF shaft The
surface dirt and rocks, from 10 to GO
feet deep are taken or, or stripped
and then the ore Is dipped up with
steam shovels and into cars.
I'm many cases the ore Is stripped
and loaded as cheaply as two cents a
ton. The steam shovels are large dip
pers with the capacity of five tons
each. There are some mines where the
soft ore Is from 200 to 400 feet deep,
averaging In the vicinity of 80 per
cent. iron.
TENDENCY TO HEAVIER EQUIP
MENT.
"The general tendency nowadays is
for heavier equipment not only Tor
railroads. but for lake steamers lhey
are building boats that can carry l3,ooo
tons of ore. and the tendency is every
day to make them even larger. where
In days gone by the boats were putt
to fit the docks, now the docks are
built to fit the boats. There are so
many boats on the great lakes now
that one captain told me recently tha'
he could almost step from one to an
other, between Duluth and Cleveland

Such was the statement made by H. NJ.
Douglass of Syracuse, n. Y, yesterday
morning TO n Free Press reporter in an
interview concerning the iron regions
about the Great Lakes.
Mr. Douglass Is n Ncrmonter. having
been born in lIncsbuigh. whore he has
been visiting. lie went West 30 years
ago and is now interested in the iron
mines of the Great Lake regions Albert
Spaulding who died here some years ago
was Mr. Douglass's brothor-in-law.
Mr. Douglass's remarks yesterday were
directed against the operations of the
United States steel corporation; not, he
emphasized out of personal spite against
that monopoly, but simply because the
concern was becoming too big and that
as he thinks, It's methods of doing bust
ness deserve investigation as much rs
those of any of the other corporation,
which are now basking In the lime light
of public and judicial censure.

MAKES RICH PROFITS.

"rhc steel trust" said Mr.. Douglass,
does not step on my toes in the iron re-
gon of which | am speaking. But do
believe that It is carrying things too far.
1t already has n colossal business yet
every day It is stretching out to absorb
moro. The corporation makes rich profits
on each ton of iron orc it converts into
rails and structural iron.
''To illustrate this, let mo give you a few
ngurcs-hgures which are straight, for
know the iron region where the steel cor
poration does its work.
1.-The corporation makes az high rs 1N
per cent. on each ton of ore, which is fai
too much. Here are some figures as tc
he cost of mining the ore and making
1t into marketable iron products
COST OF ORE PER TON, $3.50
THE trust pays 90 cents royalty on each
ton OF ore. The cost of stripping ant
loading each ton Is about 80 cents. The
charge for railroading each ton to Duluth
is so cents; of transferring each ton &c
the docks. Is cents; OF maintaining tn,
docks, per ton. 10 cents; and the con
| tract price for carrying the stun from
Duluth to Lake Erie points such as Cleye
! land. Ohio is rs cents per ton.
This makes the net cost Of mining anf
transporting each ton s255. At the LAX,
Erie docks the ore is sold for s2.75 an,
s3.25. according to quality.

PEACE CONFERENCE IN
TWO WORLDS.

! In the coming sum iner two petct
conferences will sit, the one at The
! Hague and the other at Rio. The
latter will relate, however, to the
American republics only, and no ONT
| ), ill be admitted to a seat in it who
not an American and representa-
Tive of an American republic. Tbs
conference at The Hague, ON the
other hand, considers the world liz
field.
Both conferences will have at least
one subject in common, namely, the
extent to which the use Of force in the
collection of contra. tual debts is ad-
missable. Secretary Root and tht
representatives of the South Ameri-
can republics agreed to include this
question in the list to be considered
at Rio, and the r lssian programme
for use in the congress in the Neither
lands also has it.
This question does not concern
alone the republics to the south of us,
for Turkey, and possibly Morocco,
and perhaps China, are in the con-
tractual boat, but it is chiefly aimed
at the South American republics and
the West Indies. 1t would be Well,
therefore, il the conference at Rio
Janeiro could first sit SO that it's full
weight and intlaence could be felt
at The Hague confer, nee. The Pam
American conference is to meet in
July, and the one at the Hague could
readily be postponed until August or
september. In fact, the day for its
meeting has not been named, and no
doubt steps have been taken, or will
be taken, to bring the two confer
ences into a way that promises the
best peace results.

them. There was always intolerable
itching all over my body. Then a
tumor on my neck changed to the front

lowed by others, until six had formed

scarcely walk, and could hardly attend

IN COOKING VEGETABLES.
Done-Use Fresh Boiled Water
DO Not Overlook.

Remember in cooking vegetables
that most vegetables should be put ON
to cook in freshly boiling water.
That salt should be added when they
are about two-thirds done.
That lying in very cold water for
an hour or more will partially restore
to wilted vegetables quality and fresh
ness
That every green vegetable should
be cooked rapidly, and uncovered to
retain it's color.
That, II the water is very hard.
tiny bit OF soda added, no larger
than pea, will make the vegetable
cooked in 1t tender and of better color.
Ordinary water does not require such
addition.
That when soft water is used the
salt must be in from the first to pre-
vent loss of flavor and substance.
That cooking a vegetable after it is
done toughens, darkens and detracts
from its flavor
That the best dressing for vegetables
at their perfection is butter. pepper
and salt-cauliflower and, perhaps. as
paragus excepted
That older or staler vegetables are
improved by cream or butter sauce
