Of the total production of iron ore far the United States in 1913 (that year being selected in preference to 1914 because business was then at a more normal stage than after, the war) of $1,980,000 tons, a little more than 52, 500,000 tons were mined in Minnesota. Michigan and Wisconsin; Pennsylvan ia, for instance, which in 1913 produc ed nearly 13,000,000 tons of pig-iron and 15,500,000 tons of steel, mined ori- 489;00a tons of iron ore, or less than 6000 tons in excess of the amount I mined ' by Va. Of the total production . of steel in 1913, of 31,300,000 tons, al j most exactly dne-half, or 15,544,00J i tons was produced in Pennsylvania.' In the States dependent almost . wholly upon Lake Superior ores the' output for the year was 2806,000 tons, leav ing only 1,500,000 tons as the output of the South and the Southwest and the Pacific coast. In other words, less than 5per cent, of the production of the United States is free from depen RESOURCES MUST BE DEVELOPED Manufacturers' -Record Stands For Preparedness and Points To Important Factor Baltimore, Md., Nov. 26. Presi dent Wilson'and "former President Roosevelt in letters to Richard H. Edmonds, editor of Manufacturers Record, express very deep interest in the recent presentation which he has on the subject, said: "I appreciate that editorial; most of all I appreciate the fight you arc making for preparedness . " The statements made by Mr. Ed monds, which called forth these two letters, pointed out the fact that at the present time 86 per cent: of the entire iron-ore output of the United States is from the Lake Superior district; and that as these ores are somewhat -richer in matallic contents than the average ores in other States, the Lake Superior region furnishes the ore for about 90 per cent, of the pig-iron production of the country and nearly 95 per cent, of the steel production of tne country. It was of the country and nearly 95 per cent, of the steel -production of the country. It was pointed out that in view of the possibility of a war the Baltimore November "26.

Both of these letters were re ceived on the same day and were equally as heavy in expressing a deep appreciation of the situation. Presi dent. Wilson desired.that his; letter should not be made public, but former Roosevelt, in the course of his letter tons imported from foreign countries, would instantaneously be shut off, and that if the Canal, through which the Lake Superior ores pass, a short water way of a little more than a mile in length, should be destroyed or cap tured,.,or the Lake Superiojr or,.dis trict, which, is adjacent to Canada, should "be invaded, "tHerei;'wduIo!' oe a id for 4 enunes you cashing the when you present O ' 1 T- Doutnern Express TRAVELERS CHECKS No other identification hecessary.

Under thesfe conditions, to which attention was never before called, it might be possible in time of war for a capture of the Lake Superior region or the Soo Canal to instantaneously produce a -collapse in the r iron and steel industry of the country and make every effort to defend ourselves ab solutely impossible, for without steel armies and navies would be without value and railroads Would be useless. Mr. Edmonds In presenting this sub ject pointed out that the only possible remedy which would give a basis for! real -"National Preparedness" is the larger development of the iron - and steel making potentialities' of the Southwest- where vast supplies of or6 and coal in close proximity, far away from any point of attack, furnish, a basis for the creation of iron and steel industries and the making of muni tion of war, which would give a pro tection to the country not now -poH sible, - .. Referring to this he says: n "This presentation by statistics that are startling in their significance and importance as to our danger a danger which in time of war would" mean utter destruction of. the iron and steel in dustry of the country and the im mediate and hopeless defeat of the nation demands the most serious- and immediate consideration of the Gov ernment and of -the great leaders -In finance and industry, and the respon sibility rests upon these leaders to a larger extent than-upon the Govern ment itself, for they can act : prompt ly, and upon them depends a solution of the problem by the development of iron and steeL and kindred interests on a very large scale in other sections than those how so largely developmed and which depended upon a source of ore supply Which could be easily cap tured by an4 enemy, or" the canal through which this ore passes be easi ly1 destroyed. ' "This is the problem, that faces the nation, and the financiers and the iron i tip to their responsibility to the coun try and to their own stockholders if they do not recognize this situation and act promptly" in "Overcoming this adverse condition." And to the great iron and steel con cerns aird to'! the 'fihaiiciers of New York h puts this qu0iUon: ; "What taction do yexk. eohtemnlato steels and execution of orders which we hope will lead to ultimate estab lishment of ordnance works and arse nal which will merit support of Fed eral government in connection with its plans for National preparedness."

The real - estate' market has been a little dull this week as a result of the holiday season right at hand, but, not withstanding this there have been a few deals of importance. The market must, necessarily, begin to pick up soon. but it may be after the start of a new yearbefore any thing startling in the way of real es tate deals happens. There are a few big deals pending at present, and these witn tne otners tnat win come . up in the next week or two will keep things humming for the real estate men until they take a long breath and start on the new year with added faith and a confidence unshaken in the val ue of Wilmington's most valuable as set REAL ESTATE. trol of water powers, can get authori ty to act under new laws, they will be taken into the courts. The Democratic majority in the House has been cut down and the conservationists will not have as many votes in that chamber during the new Congress as they had last year. Sec retary Lane-has announced that the administration will cause to be intro duced in the new Congress eajly in the session which begins next -month a bill very similar to that known last year;'as the Ferris water power bill, but nothing' definite has been an nounced about the bills known as the general development hiH the water powers on navigable streams bill or the leasing of gazing and homestead lands bill. ' The proposal to lease rights by the government is at the bottom of man;' of these bills, and most (of the advo cacy of or opposition to that idea has caused the debates that have been held on the bills. Congressmen Baker of California and Taylor of Colorado, who were the two House members principally opposed to the leasing idea, will be back next month. The backers of the leasing idea will also be again on the scene . Congressmen Ferrisr of Oklahoma, Brown of New York, Hay den of Arizona and Stout of Mon tana are champions of the leasing idea, arid they are backed by Republicans, such-1:as Congressmen Lenroot, Kent and Sinuott.
