l took rather pessimistic view of
the outlook for iron ore, and busi-
ness in general, for 1915, but
now entertain rather optomistic
view of the immediate future.
am convinced that prosperous con-
ditions will prevail i'll the iron
mining industry for an indefinite
period-for a number of years, at
least. do not get my impressions
from the newspapers, some of
which. l think, are too enthusias-
tic, but from men of affairs with
whom 1 have talked lately"
1t is not believed that ore prices
will be fixed before February,
for 1915, but it is believed that the
commodity will command some
what better figures than during the
present year. Minnesota will
enjoy the lions share of the in
creased prosperity in iron ore.
The Guyana range doubtless
will for the first time meet a de-
mand commensurate with its
developed resources. Already
there is keen demand on the part
of operating companies for various
manganiferous properties. Several
Guyana range manganiferous
properties are now under option.
Prospects are that announcement
of two we'll known properties
having been leased will be made in
a few weeks. There is excellent
reason to believe that the Guyana
range will quickly take second
place as a shipper of ore with a
return to prosperity to the indus
try. This range can easily put a
dozen mines in the shipping list in
1915.
The Vermilion range will, it is
expected, have two new shippers
in 1915, the Consolidated Yer
million and the North American.
The former will be provided
with rail facilities by June L, and
the latter already is provided. T.

panies, announces that both pro-
perties will be in the shipping list

Orders for Hundreds Of

No wonder that all authorities
are agreed that the United States
is on the verge of an era of pros
perity the like of which has never
been experienced before, says
Skilling's Mining and Market
Letter.
Exclusive of normal exports,
such as cereals, provisions, etc. >,
orders already booked for manufac-
tured goods to go abroad reach the
enormous sum of $500, 900, 900.
This avalanche of gold will be let
loose in payment for supplies
which are required by the warning
European nations. 1t is coming to
the United States.
Edward E. Pratt, chief of the
bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, says that one year of
war in Europe will add $500, ,O00,-
600 to the foreign commerce of the
United States.
Are we on the eve of good times?
If in doubt ask those who thirty to
sixty days ago held pessimistic
views. Even the most chronic of
pessimists now admit that the out
look is bright. The export busi-
ness of the United States is going
to expand heavily on account of
the demands growing out of the
worlds greatest war. 1t is de-
mand that will continue long after
peace is declared. during the years
OF reconstruction, and the export
business of the country will, of a
certainty, attain a new and much
higher normal level, to be main
tanned In the years to come.
That the iron ore industry will
flourish exceedingly goes without
saying. This industry is on the
eve of long period of prosperity
Even the most conservative of
operators admit that the outlook
was never as good as right now.
A prominent Minnesota indepen-
dent iron mine operator said to the
writer at the Spalding this week:
