trouble in the army and did not OBJ

sediment in the secretions and they
were highly colored. AS soon as I

Havana, Cuba. = The wreck of the
Maine f1oated free of the mud when
water was turned nto the dam sur
rounding the wreck. The water within
the dam is about IA feet below the har-
Dor at low tide. It is the intention to
admit more water more rapidly, so that
the wreck will be raised to the harbor
level, leaving nothing more to be done
except to break the dam and float OF
the ship.
Water was forced into the dam
through system Of pipes fixed at the
bottom of the dam, the power being
supplied by a pump which had been
recovered from the wreck. The ship
began to rise almost Immediately. The
midship section, which had been fur

than the heavily-weighted, sharp.point-
ed stern. so that the Maine is some
what down by the stern.
Many hundreds of visitors thronged
the dam all day, watching the refloat-
ing of the Maine. None of them was
admitted aboard the ship, however, for
fear of accident. Major Ferguson, who
has had charge of the work, has re.
ceived many congratulations on his
success. The ship will remain secured
within the dam until orders are re.
ceived from Washington to float her
out, which can be done within a fort.

Of Ore In Ground.

Washington. Feb Thames j.
Hill, chairman of the board of direc-
tors Of the Great Northern Railroad
company, was subpoenaed to appear
before the Stanley Steel committee
to testify regarding the leasing OF his
ore properties In the Mesaba range
by the steel corporation.
He taxed principally OF the crea-
ton Of the Lake SUPERIOR company,
which, as he declares. he brought into
existence for the sole beneiit Of the
shareholders Of the Great Northern.
Railway company. He told Of the
great number Of mine properties. dock
ing companies. elevator concerns and
other commercial organizations which
he combined to make the Lake SUI
perior company. which. according to
his testimony. was done solely by
himself and later presented to the
Great Northern stockholders after he
had been repaid his actual outlay of
cash, amounting to something over
100000, with 5 per cent interest for
the time necessary to get the concern
on it's feet. He declared that the
100000 repaid to him was entirely
from the profits Of the concern and
was not in any sense paid to him by
the eventual owners. the Great North
ern stockholders.
He said that various conflicting
state laws. governing the properties
constituting the Lake Superior COM
pany, had made 1t impossible for the
stockholders to invest in and operate
under the name Of the Great Northern.
He said that when the Lake Superior
company had refunded him for his
original investment. its shares were
distributed pro-rata among the Great
Northern stockholders, large block
going to him in that capacity.
The railroad magnate was ques-
toned at length regarding the lease
of those ore lands to the United
States Steel corporation for develop.
ment. a lease which the corporation
recently decided to cancel on Jan. 1,
1915. In this land there are estimated
to be about 500.000.000 tons of ore
which the steel corporation values at
81 ton.
II wouldn't take 81 . ton for the
ore" said Mr.. Hill.
The ore freight rates from the
Lake Superior region to the Pittsburg
district, which the United States
Steel corporation recently reduced to
80 cents ton, Mr.. Hill declared to
be the cheapest in the country.
