IRON ORE FUTURE
SkiIings' News Letter Talks ON
Future Of Ores

Many Duluth and other Lake
Superior people will still readily
recall the enthusiastic statements
of people in the early days of the
Mesaba range. The phrase in
exhaustable supplies of iron ore"
was for some years very familiar,
and the expression surely was at
the time one that was not devoid
of good excuse, for it was and is, a
mighty range. But the limitations
of the Mesaba have for some years
been quite generally known, and
with the increase in the consump-
ton of the mineral, the word mex
haustable has lost its force. The
fear that once possessed some in
terested people that there was so
much iron ore on the Mesaba that
new iron fields, or even individual
discoveries in the old fields, would
lose their value, has passed along
with the word inexhaustable.
There is no surplus of good iron
ore properties. The discovery of
new mines. and of large deposits of
hitherto unknown mineral in old
mines, have not been of sufficient
frequently in some years to alarm
the industry, or to discourage ex-
ploration. The United States Steel
Corporation is constructing a large
steel plant in Duluth, but that does
not necessarily mean that any
similar concern is going to be
abandoned by the corporation in
the east: The industry simply is
growing, and the rumors that there
is to be established in Duluth an
important independent iron and
steel plant are not without founda-
ton, for such plans are seriously
considered. And this suggests the
denial of J. J. Hill that he has any
intention of going into the iron and
steel business. While this may be
perfectly true, any new plant would
demand much ore which might be
sold to it with as perfect propriety
by the Hill ore interests as to any
other consumer, and the statement
of Hill ore officials that the ore will
never be bear on the market may
be accepted as another probable
fact. And further it is observed
that rumors of a prospective merger
of the large independent plants of
the country enjoy wonderful
vitality and are again being dis
cussed by the eastern financial
journals. Ever since the formation
of the steel corporation reports of
an independent steel-merger have
been in the air at different times,
but so far these consultations have
never gotten beyond the tentative
stage. But the Independents have
grown and prospered and they now
feel the need of advantages of con-
solidation more than ever before.
And if they do consolidate, the
new consolidation may reasonably
be expected to enhance the iron
mining industry. Not all of the
independent concerns may be ex-
pected to enter the consolidation,
and these that remain out will
prosper as the present Independents
have.

Mr.. Jenswold is an able man, a

Democrat and will be true to his
party. If you want Democratic

think this country got enough
democracy in 1893-97 to last for a
while yet, beware of the Democratic
congress. There is where the laws

Prospective Change in Time

The Duluth & Iron Range are at
present figuring on change in the
running time of trains l and 2.
The proposition as we understand
it is to leave here at $40 in the
morning and arrive at Duluth at
1890. Leave Duluth at S in the
afternoon and arrive here at 80.
Supt. Thos. Owens was up from
Two Harbors in his special car
yesterday sounding the railroad
and other interests here on the
proposed change.

VOICES FROM THE RANGE

The congressional campaign is a
particularly quiet affair to date. but
from what may be heard Congress-
man c. B. Miller will be returned

made good in his political career,
and the voters of the district are
going to stick by him. Such is the
sentiment as it appears, and we be-

ELY Wins From Aurora

The Ely High School football
boys took their third straight con-
sequitive game for the season Sat
urday when they defeated the
Aurora team on the latters grounds
by the score of 9 to H.,
The game was warmly contested
and it was not until the last minute
of play was over that the contest
was decided. McMahan and Maxi
starred for the local boys. Messrs.
Schweikhard and Adkins accom-
panied the team to Aurora
The team goes to Two Harbors
tomorrow and it is.to be hoped that
ther string of victories will not be
broken. In fact, it is safe to say
that the boys will give the Port
City boys something to think about.
The Eighth Grade teams of this
city and Winton clashed on the Ely
grounds Saturday afternoon in a
one-sided football contest. The
Winton boys were no match for the
Ely team and the score resulted in
victory for Ely, 70 too.
