THE ORE SUPPLY

Joseph SellwoOd of Duluth told the
Stanley committee that the Lake SUI
perior ore region contains /. 100000, 900
tons of available ore, of which about
65O,0O0.O00 tons, excluding the Hill
ores, are controlled by the United
States Steel corporation. Steel manu-
facturers were inclined to dispute the
ore experts figures, as 1t is generally
known that the steel corporation al
ways has claimed at least LOCO, 100000
tons of available northern ore. AT the
rate of consumption over the last few
years G50,OOO,O0O tons of ore would
mean less than twenty five years of
life for United States Steel. If the
steel corporation controls that amount
of ore out of n total of 1 100000
tons its holdings represent but 46 per
cent of the total
Commissioner of Corporations Smiths
report gives the total available iron ore
deposits of the north as around 2,300,-
coo, 600 tons.
Don H Bacon's statement to the eff
feet that there is a vast amount of I'M
! discovered ore in the United States is
supported by steel manufacturers.

| FRENCH BATTLESHIPS
The designers of battleships for
| France seem to be following the gen

in the building program of this year.
| An exception is in point of tonnage,
| the new French ships exceeding the
| tonnage of the British vessels of the
| Orion class. the displacement of which
is 22.6SO tons. France is placing ten
| 1874 inch guns on the new ships as a
| primary armament, mounted on five
twin gun turrets, all placed on the
| center line after the Orion model
| These guns are of slightly less calibeI
| than the British 13-5 inchers. though
the French ships will be larger by over
! 900 tons.
The new French ships will be 541
feet long and IS feet G inches broad
| Their speed will be twenty knots. The
time for building and completing is tC
be three years compared with the two
years of the British builders

Dreyfus Team Beaten.

Dewitt, July 11.--DeWitt defeated the Dreyfus team of Pine Bluff here |yesterday by the score of to 2. Kel- ley pitched for Dewitt, allowing one l hit aud striking out 16 of the visitors. Only errors by the local team enab- | led Pine Bluff to count two times in the nine rounds. Sorrels could not puzzle the Dewitt batters at the right l time, four of the seven hits he offered coming in the second inning. Halli- burton opened this inning with a tWo- bagger, stole third and raced home
 on catcher Hamlin's bad peg to third. Bigler doubled, G. Hudson drew pass Kelley and Dudley each singled Big Ter, Hudson and Kelley also counting in the bomhardment. Sorrells pitch ! cd better ball and held the locals hit less till the eighth, when Dudley doub- led, stole third and came home on a
 sacrifice by Quartermous. Emmet was
 the sole Pine Bluffian to solve the
 curves of Kelley, getting one pretty single over second base in the third inning. The features of the game were kelley's superb pitching and Wofford's receiving for Dewitt, and the catching of Hamlin for Pine Bluff. The visitors also electrified the spectators by pulling off two nicely
 executed double plays. Same teams
 again tomorrow. Dewitt has thus far
 won every game played this season.
