the Messaba range on Lake Superior

the Messaba range on Lake Superior
and the Birmingham, Ala, district. All
the furnaces of the Pittsburg district,
Youngstown. Cleveland; all the balance
of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, procure
t6eir, ore supply from the Mesa ba
range. OF the 100000 tons the Bir-
mingham district produced only about
100000 tons.
The rapid exhaustion of the deposits
in the Messaba range, which is evil
denced by the fact that each year the
percentage OF metallic iron is reduced
in the ores SHIPPED and the eve-in-
creasing average demands clearly DEM
onstrates that the output of the Bir-
mingham district will have to be large
1y increased.
Taking into consideration all the
facts in the premises it is safe to
predict that soon the output in the
Birmingham district will have to be
increased to 25,000,000 tons per an
num-
Approximately there are in Jeffer-
son county 10000 acres of land with
the red hematite iron ore. Estimating
this to contain the average of 25,c00
tons per acre gives 750.000,000 tons in
stead of 100000 tons-the governments
estimate. 1t Is easy to see that even
with the greater figure and the in
creased output UP to $4,000 tons per
annum means the exhaustion of the
deposits in this district in the shors
time of 30 years.
Another interesting feature which
will no doubt materially increase the
Birmingham districts output Is in the
fact that the Messaba range iron roy
atty charges are $1.25 per ton, to which
must be added a freight rate of $3.50
per ton to transport to the Pittsburg
district. making total cost at furnace
of 1915 per ton as against Birning-
ham districts royalty charge of rs
cents per ton and 121z cents freight
a total of s7A cents In both instances
the basis is SO per cent metallic iron.
The reason for this startling difference
is in the fact that all the furnaces
in the Birmingham district have their
own iron ore lands and do not en-
courage the royalty basis. In fact it
would be hard to find a legitimate
reason why iron ore with so per cent
metallic basis in Birmingham district
should not be 50 per ton instead of 25
cents.
1t will no doubt be a source of graf
ification to the taxpayers of Birming :
ham to know that the city of Birming-
ham owns 200 acres of this most val

TO THE EDITOR.
Bir,ninsbam'- valuable Property

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
In your editorial in the issue pf
the 23d inst, commenting upon the re-
port recently issued by the United
States geological survey as to iron ore
in Jefferson county, Alabama, the state
ment is made that the area mentioned
contains 100000 tons and that it will
take 100 years to exhaust the same. AS
the red hematite iron deposits 6f Red
Mountain was fundamentally the basis
of Birmingham and is still an import
ant factor. therefore, it is Of vital in
terest to every intelligent citizen OF
Birmingham. 1 submit the following
opinions and facts:
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, in an address
delivered at q banquet of the iron mas
ters in London, in 1903 made the state
ment that within 40 years the visible
or known supply of iron ore would be
exhausted. This statement attracted
universal attention and created consid-
cradle comment among the geologis Is,
for and against. Some Of those who
took issue with Mr.. Carnegie were so
unkind as to charge him, being heav-
lily interested in iron and steel, with
Interior motives. However, during the
spring of 1909 Mr.. Carnegie was sum-
moned to appear before the committee
of ways and means of Congress as a
witness and he there testified again
his firm belief in the fact that all the
known ore would be exhausted in the
prescribed time. 1t is an interesting
fact that now the very large major
ity of most eminent biologists concur
with him.
Mr.. M. G. Seckendorfr in an able
article appearing in the March num-
Der of Munseys magazine says: The
supplies of iron ore on which the fur
naces of Europe depend are. at many
points. approaching exhaustion, and II
is possible that civilizations increasing
demand for iron and steel cannot be
met in the Old World without a con-
siderable increase in cost"
There was mined in the United States
during the year 1909 over 53,00J,000
tons Of iron. There are only two dis
tricts in the United States in which,

In Good Standing
EVIDENCE rs LACKING

Cincinnati. o., Feb. 24-The national
baseball commission met here today to
consider the case of Catcher John King
OF the Chicago National league club, who
recently applied for reinstatement.
The Killing case has been widely dis
cussed and all members of the commits
sion were present to view his applca-
ton
Killing had three-year contract with
Chicago but last spring declined to report
and remained away from the club all
season. He did not go to an outlaw
league and the only complication in his
case was that he organized a semi-pro-
fessionsl club which took part in a
few games with semi-professional team
in Chicago.
Before the meeting of the commission
would be re-instated and that the condi-
lions imposed would not be severe. All
the precedents were in favor of his re-
instatement
Killing must show cause why he should
be restored to good standing. This man
date is also extended to the management
of the Chicago club.
Because of lack of evidence no action
was taken today, the matter being laid
over for future consideration, either by
correspondence or at special meeting.
Killing and President Murphy are asked
to furnish the commission with copies OF
all correspondence between them since
the close of the playing season of 1908.
