THE CUBA REVIEW 19 Cuban Iron Mine Decision. A despatch from Santiago de CuIki of October 21, says: The higher court to- day confirmed the verdict for the plain- tiff given by the Baracoa Court of First Instance in the Moa iron mine case. The plaintiffs are McLaughlin brothers, who brought suit against the Juraga Iron Company, a subsidiary of the Bethlehem Steel Company, of Pennsylvania, to se- cure the disputed title to eleven iron mines, covering 2,600 acres in the Bara- coa district. The decision of the lower court was rendered in March last. Dredging Sagua Harbor. The bids for the dredging which is to be done to clear away the bar at the entrance to the harbor at Sagua la Grande were opened October 16 for the removal of rock and mud by the cubic meter and were as follows: Rock.

The residual brown iron ores of Cuba form the subject of a paper in the Au- gust number of the "Bulletin of the American Institute of Mining Engi- neers." The purpose of the writer, C. M. Weld, is to set forth certain features con- cerning the character and probable gen- esis of these deposits, which give prom- ise of adding about 1,000,000,000 tons of iron ore to the world's supply. The most conspicuous is the Mayari deposit, situated about 15 miles south of Nipe Bay, where a company controlling over 18,500 acres of ore-bearing land contain- ing 500,000,000 tons of ore has installed the necessary plant and equipment with docks and railways. The ore field at Moa Bay, covering from 13,000 to 15,000 acres, contains approximately 350,000,- 000 tons, and smaller deposits are located at Subitas, at Taco Bay, and Navas ne.nr Baracoa. The development of these huge fields has directed study toward several metallurgical problems attending their use in the manufacture of iron and steel, and it has been announced, as a result of exhaustive experiments, that steel rails of more than usual excellence have been manufactured from the ores.
