Deciding an important land case
adversely to the contentious of the
Cleveland Cliffs Iron company,
Circuit Judge John w. Stone, of
Marquette, has handed down
sweeping opinion in favor of John
r. Gordon, OF Marquette. The min
ing corporation attacking Gordon's
title to valuable tract in the Swan
zey district Of the Marquette iron
range, and basiug its case. largely
On technical grounds, the court has>
ruled a3aiust It on ali essential,
points. Certain tax title rates are
held to have no standing with the
court and the matter of Gordon's
good faith in acquiring his interest
in the land is decided not to be an
issue. The tract in question lies in
proximity to iron mines that the
Cleveland Cliffs company is devel-
oping, and it is understood to be
worth in the neighborhood of $780,.
600. Gordon's title was picked up
for a comparatively email sum
some years ago, and before the
land had been proved to be in the

that fully five hundred men showed
up during the fret half day. 1t is
said many of these men came from
other range points in the hope of
obtaining work here. The COM
Pany has put on a double shift,
giving employment to about two
hundred. 1t is understood to be
the intention of the company to

shoot during the season was ac-
cepted, and it is likely several con-
tests of this nature will be held the

sition to incorporate the Club was
also held in allegiance. it being de-
ci ided not to take any action in this
matter for the present.

MAKE BEhsAl 0F JssE RUM0R
Corri9as-A1ckieaey sad Steel Corpora-
tioa 0oth Mle9e Rumor Of Sale
Is Without Fouadatioa. J.

The announcement made in the
city dailies some ten days ago and
copied. in many of the weeklies,
throughout the iron country that
the steel corporation were in the,
act of acquiring the Corrigan-Mc-
Kinney properties, is denied by
both parties to the proposed tran
saction.
The announcement was made
under New York date line and
stated that the price at which the
Corrigan Mckinney properties
were to be taken into the corpora
tlon was $5OOO0O0O.
This was the gist of the dispatch
although the Detroit papers added
to it that the rumor originated
from a firm of brokers on Wall
street who were handlers of Steel
stocks and we'll informed in the
iron world.
The first denial came from the
steel corporation whose officers,
when approached for a contirma-
tion of the rumor, stated that the
subject was entirely new to them.
Tuesdays papers contained an
authorized refutation of the rumor
from the lips of Price Mckinney,
who is the active head of the big
corporation, the dispatch reading
as follows:
"A formal denial of the report of
it's approaching absorption by the
United State Steel corporation was
made today by Price Mckinney of
Corrigan- Mckinney & Co. He said:
There is absolutely no foundation
for it. There have been no nego-
tiations between our company and
the steel trust nor has any price
been asked aud given
