STEEL CORPORATION ACQUIRE HILL'S INTEREST Cleveland, Ohio, Marbh deal by which the immensely valuable ore properties of James Hill, on the Mesaba range are to palss into the control of the United States Steel corporation for a period of 30 years about to be' consummated, according to a special from Duluth to the Iron Trade Review, which says: "Although no official announcement has been made, your correspondent is informed on authority reliable beyond a question that all of the principal terms have been agreed1 upon and the contract drawn. It is estimated that the Hill interests have ore deposits amounting to tons, which delivered at Lake Erie ports would be worth $1,125,000,000.

"The terms of the contract provide that the steel corporation shall take a lease on these properties for 30 years and shall pay for the first two years 70 cents per ton for ore mined and SO cents for the carrying of the ore from the mines to Duluth on Hill's roads. "It is further provided that after two years the price for ore in the ground shall be increased 5 cents rfvery two years, ifotil at the end of 12 years the price shall be $1 and stay at that figure for the remaining IS years of the period. Another provision is that the Great Northern shall be guaranteed freight amounting to 10,000,000 tons annually during the life of the lease. If mines other than those in the deal furnish the amount the steel corporation will not be required to furnish any, but it must supply whatever lacking of the stipulated tonnage. "The great advantage of this particplar transaction to the corporation is evident.

It insures the corporation a tremendous tonnage and prevents the possibility of competing companies getting hold of these great deposits. The policy of the officers of the corporation will be highly commended and at the same time it is clear that the transportation will be very profitable, to the Hill Last year railway carried 6,500,000 tons of and by the new arrangement It will largely increase this tonnage at a guaranteed rate which cannot be set aside by any legislation. The income which would result from the royalty would be fully $250,000,000 for all the ore, and the $8,000,000 a year which will be earned by carrying the ore will of course be additional. It cannot, however, be stated with certainty that the corporation will mine all the Hill ore in 30 years." It is understood the question as to whether the quality of the ore is to be guaranteed is still undecided. REAR ADMIRALS RETIRE.
