Steel Industry

President VIM. E. Corey, of the
United States Steel corporation in
an exclusive interview, published
in the Manufacturers Record, dis
cussing the outlook for the iron and
steel trade, takes an exceedingly
optimistic view of business condi-
tons and railroad expansion. He
says in part:
The situation speaks for itself.
1t is not matter of perspective.
We have arrived. We are right
now in the midst of the greatest
development in the history of the
steel and iron business. Substan-
TALLY all of Our plants are now run
ming and on practically full time
and there is no branch of steel in
dustry that is backward. The
Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railway
Co., has rail orders ahead to run
for four or five months. The Car
negie and Illinois companies can
make no promises under 90 days.
There is a good demand for all
grades of finished steel.
Next year will witness record
breaking production of steel in ev-
cry line. One of the greatest will
be in railway supplies-rails and
cars. Next year will be the great
est in railroad buying and building
ever known in the history of the
country.
The railroads are awakening to
a realization of the situation and
are now jumping in with orders.
The railway demands for next year
will be simply enormous. A new
era of activity is on. 1t will vastly
exceed anything ever known be-

was an innovation enjoyed by
great many. On every landing as
you entered the magnifcently
lighted building were stationed
members of the board and their
families, several members of the
faculty and teachers, and each ar
rival was duly introduced to the
various groups.
After a pleasant comingling and
social chats during which time
punch and waters were partaken of
and music by the band listened to,
the larger part of those attic nding
sought out the auditorium where
choice selections by the band and
vocal solos by Mrs. B. o. Strachan
and Miss Fanny Staples rounded
out the evening.
The patrons of the schools were
we'll pleased with the public re-
ception and no doubt this will be a
regular feature.

NEW COMPANY
Formed to Operate Mines
on the VermiliOn.

Articles of incorporation of the
Vermilion Iron Development COM
pany of Duluth was filed with the
secretary of the state of Minnesota
Thursday.
This is new corporation which
has obtained control of two choice
Vermilion range properties and will
devolpe them. These are the Pine
Island property, owned by Albert
Kitto and Alfred Merritt, and the
Murray homestead situated between
Tower ard Ely directly on the iron
formation. The former property
comprises 1872 acres and the latter
100 acres. They are both of the
most promising character from sur
face indications and superficial ex-
ploratory work. R. G. Murray is
the owner of the Murray homestead
and he has refused a large price
and many corporation options.
The incorporators of the Yer
million Iron Development company
will be as follows: James Cardle,
Duluth; T. F. Rodwell, Tower; T.
E. Lewis, Duluth; Paul F. Cham
berlaine, Fred Merrill, Tower, and
w. D. Campbell, Superior. The
promoters will hold a meeting in
Duluth Saturday to perfect the
organization by electing officers
and planning operations. The
capital of the company is S75O.OOO,
divided into shares of a par value
of 81 each. The company will sell
100000 shares at once to provide
means for active development. II
is proposed to sink shaft at the
Pine Island property and drill the
Murray homestead.

FIRE AT THE LAKE
Destroys Six lighthouses and
Their Contents

The Fire Department was called
to the shore of Long Lake about
1880 Saturday night, fire having
been discovered in the boathouse of
Chas. Grabowsky, and before it
could be gotten under control, six
lighthouses and their contents were
burned to the waters edge.
The Fire Department was on the
scene soon after the alarm was
turned in, but, as no hose could be
laid that distance, they were con-
siderably handicapped. Aided by
several citizens, however, they did
most elegant work with the bucket
brigade and chemicals and succeed
ed, after two hours of hard work,
in getting the fire under control,
thereby saving the other lighthouses
around the lake front, numbering
about fifty.
Five gasoline launches were des-
troyed besides innumerable row
boats and canoes. Mr.. Grabowsky
suffered the heaviest loss, his
launch, several canoes and boats,
guns and camping utensils being
totally destroyed. P. 7. Brownell
sustains a loss of his boathouse,
launch and canoes. R. Hodge,
boathouse, launch and canoe. AL.
Ko1stad, launch and half interest
in boathouse. Louis Larson,
launch, canoe and half interest in
boathouse. Sam Rapson, boat
house and canoes. While the boat
house of Thos. E. Miller was one
mass of flames, Fred St. Marie took
a chance and succeeded in saving
Mr.. Mil1er's launch and several
other articles of value. AS there
were no insurance carried by any
of the. parties the loss is total one.
The origin of the fire is not
known but it is supposed to have
originated from spontaneous COM
bustion in the boathouse of Mr..
Grabowsky.

Brownlee and Tolen attended to the
