Show will tap utah iron field eventually there is a continual reaching out by alio last iron ind steel industries of the united states for further deposits of iron ore ao as to male the manufacturing flints secure for an indefinite number of cars to come of the raw material which they so imperatively require the U 5 steel corporation has its immense oro reserves in the mines on lake superior and in minnesota this latter on contract some time since with president james J hill but contract was abandoned on the anti prosecutions still atie oro is there and undoubtedly the U S steel corporations will ret it in time president charles M of the bethlehem steel corporation in which mr carnegie is supposed to have a big interest perhaps feels himself shut out in some degree by reason of these big holdings and options of the U S steel corporations and so ho has concluded negotiations for an immense iron ore tract near the coast in chill it is said to ba enormous ore deposit rivaling that on lake superior and to be so near good seaport that transportation w ill be easy and cheap it is said that mr schwab will build a number of steamers of to tons capacity each to transport this ore from chill through the panama canal to his works in pennsylvania it will be nearly all sea shipment and the cost of the ore delivered at bethlehem will be little if any more than the cost of the lake superior or minnesota ore delivered to the U S steel corporation the search for iron ore convenient to cheap transportation i world wide and doubtless the great and easily accessible iron deposits will presently be all tied up in option or by purchase for the great iron and steel companies and of these the companies in the united baates seem to be the most enterprising of any leading the search for great ore do posits convenient of cheap shipment in the meantime have in utah probably greater deposits than any but not easily accessible to water shipment that these ore deposits will come into use before long however there can scarcely bo a doubt they can be put to practical use by transporting the ore to plants on green river the coal deposits are cicat there and would allow of the easy easland and economical reduction of the ore or great iron plants could established on the loer colorado and alic ore transported cheaply to the site of those plants but the green river proposition is the best u the coal 13 there as it is not on the lower colorado the summing up of the whole matter is that in the worldwide world wide search for easily ore de posits thero must presently come time when cheso latter will be exhausted and the utah deposits will bo in demand these deposits ire tremendous and doubtless they go to the depths in the earth we be lieo also that these great ore deposits in iron county in tim state are also the cap of fiher deposits of which silver reef was stringer in time we feel confident all this will be demonstrated as fact and the mines of iron county will bo not only among the greatest in alie world for iron ore but also for silver down in the depths we further as the southwestern portion of silver reef into copper eliat great copper mines will be found in that vicinity at some time in the future tribune expression is a far greater gift than thought anyone can think but ho who becomes immortal 14 the rodn mth the talent of a |
