OF MONEY
United States Steel Says j. J. Hill, is
Putting $6,25o,ooo in the Mesaba
Range.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-James I. Hill,
chief factor in the Great Northern rail-
way, made the surprising statement
that the United States Steel corpora
tion had not as yet extracted single
ton of ore from the enormous prop
critics in the Mesaba range, which
were leased from the Great Northern
road
The steel corporation has to date ex-
pended about 100000 in exploration
work, drilling and stripping earth to
lay bare the ore deposits. 1t will fur
thermore have paid over to the trus-
tees of the Great Northern iron ore
properties by the end of this year at
least s2,50O,0OO, thus making its cash
Investment by that time represent
close upon s6,500,000.

Makes Minimum Payments.

Mr.. Hill explained that the steel cor
poration. under it's contract. agreed to
mine 100000 tons of ore in 1907 and
in 1908 100000 tons. Including
freightage over the Great Northern. it
pays a royalty of about s165 a ton.
Although none of this ore Las yet
been mined, the corporation is obliged
to make it's rlinimum payments. new
ertheless.
THE steel corporation, said Mr..
Hill, SIS conducting an extensive ex-
ploration program. 1t is stripping
earth and laying bare the ore depos-
it's and drilling the holes to ascertain
the depth of such deposits. The ore
lies, as rule, from sixty to more than
one hundred feet under the surface.
About s4000,000 has been spent in this
exploration work on this land. which
indicates that the bodies are much IN
excess of amounts estimated at the
time the contracts were made"
Party Lines Drawn Close.
Mr.. Hills enthusiasm regarding the
ere properties has not abated one jot
since last year, when he said the
Great Northern stood ready at any
time to take back the properties from
the steel corporation if the purchas
ers were dissatisfied.
Discussing politics, Mr.. Hill said
; that so far as he had observed he had
never seen time when party lines
were so tightly drawn. This situation
he said, made it impossible to estimats
results.
