An Iron Mountain dispatch to the
dailies gives the following informa-
tion regarding former Mesaba range
citizen who is also we'll known in Ely.
"John t. Jones, superintendent of
the Traders mine in this city has in
vented a ball bearing tram car that
gives every evidence of being a huge
success. The wheels are of pressed
STEEL the balls are one inch in diam
eter and the bearings are dust proof.
Oil has no chance to escape from the
cups and the bearing is giving excel
lent satisfaction in the mines here.
The cars run easily, only one man
being required to push them, where
three were formerly employed"
While this is heralded as a new in
vention, we do not see where it comes
in as ball-bearing tram cars have
been in use at the Chandler and Pho
neer mines for several years.
