ranges will be about 7,150,O00 tons which
is over million in excess Of what was
expected during the early part OF the
season. 1t would take about 12,O0O
trains Of average size to move this vast
bulk of ore. One hundred and seventy
large sized vessels have been constantly
engaged in tho ore trade during the sea-
son. The season will close practically
in couple of weeks. There have been
some large contracts in the past week or
ten days that points to an increase IN
mining next season in some districts,
notably ON the Mesaba. The MahoniDg
and Adams mines. the youngest of the
ranges, are making every preparation to
ship extensively and will employ 600
men during the winter. The former will
ship 10000 tons it's first season, and the
latter 100000. The Rathbun has been
got in shape in the past few months for
big shipments next season, and may be
at the head of the mines controlled by
Rockefeller. AT the Mahoniug 100000
cubic yards of earth will bs stripped, re-
quiripg until next August, although the
work will be prosecuted day aud night.
Conservative iron men estimate that
there will be shipped next season over
the three roads entering the Minnesota
ranges between 4,50O, 900 AMI 100000
tons, and possibly more.
