The total of iron ore shipments from
the four Lake Superior districts for the
season up TO the end of the shipping
week was 2,ss9, 233 gross tons, says a
Marquette dispatch. The excess over the
same period for 1889 is 53S. 262 tons. The
shipments for the week are the larg-
est of the season for a similar period,
reaching an aggregate of 357, 0l5 tons.
The Marquette range has been in he lead
all the season, with the Gogebe in hot
pursuit. The older district made a squirt
during the week reported, and is now
4G, 525 tons ahead of its vigorous young
competitor. The reason for the GogebiC
falling back is glut of ore at the Ash
land docks, there being lack of vessels
hind its shipments of 1889, while the
Menominee range is gaining rapidly
The shipments by nges are as follows
Marquette, 900, 1872; Gogebic, 9l3, 597
Menominee, 1873, 574; Yermillion, PSI 1886
As regards individual mines, the Norrie
with total of 2Ss, $50 tons, is Sc, lac
ahead of the Chaplin. The Ashland comes
third, though at a long distance. The
Lake Superior and the Pittsburg and
Lake Angeline are fourth and fifth, re-
spectively. both having crossed the l00,.
900 line.
