"A letter from Marquette says: The
shipments of iron ore from the Lake Su-
perior mines for the past week have
beaten all previous records for single
week, footing up at 1855 gross tons.
Of this quantity Escanaba shipped l14,-
595 tons, the largest amount ever shipped
from that port in q week. The total
shipments for the season aggregated
1850, 1876 tons, gain over the cores
ponding date last year of 1853 tons.
The volume of shipmentsis unprecedent-
edly large, and is increasing instead of
falling off. If the present rate of output
is maintained for the season the mines
will easily put 5000, 900 tons on the mar
ket this season."

The discovery of the Baraga graphite
mine in Northern Michigan promises to
develop into matter of more than ordi-
nary importance. The mine has been
known to exist for several years, but it
was not until very recently that the pro-
duct of it was recognized as carbon, and
more recently still that the carbon was
of sufficient purity for commercial uses.
Graphite comes from this mine in large
chunks, as it is blasted, and is then easily
subdued to q merchantable form. For
the purpose of reducing it the same pro-
cess is adopted as that used in grinding
wheat, although there have not yet been
any successful experiments in using the
patent roller process. The old-fashion-
ed burr stones grind the graphite, aud it
is afterward bolted like flour and sold ac-
