ORE SHIPMDNTS SHOP BIG INCREASE
Iron ore authorities claim the
Lake Superior region is between
5000 and 100000 tons ahead of
last years ore shipments on the
corresponding date, says the
News Tribune August l finds
the ore shipments from the head
of the lakes $500 gross tons
ahead Of the same date last year.
Ashland is about 10000 tons
behind the shipments from that
port to August 1 last year. Mar
quette is about even with this
date last season and Escanaba is
a little ahead Of last year. Du-
luth, Superior and Two Harbors
make a substantial gain possible
for the Lake Superior region.
The shipments from this end Of
Lake Superior to August / this
year aggregate 3:406.173 gross
tons as compared with 2,767,879
gross tons on the same date last
year.
While the gain at Duluth and
vicinity has been larger than at
any other point, the shipments
would be much heavier if vessel
tonnage were more plentiful. The
Duluth, Missabe & Northern, the
Duluth & Iron Range and the
Eastern Minnesota roads could
and would ship from 20 to 25 per
cent more ore every week and
every month if additional vessel
tonnage could be had. Even as
it is the increase in shipments of
iron ore is distributed among the
three roads that tap the iron re-
gions of Northern Minnesota.
The Duluth & Iron Range has
shipped 1923, 936 tons more orc to
date than last year to August /.
The Duluth, Missabe & Northern
shows an increase of 1875, 1853 tons
and the Eastern Minnesota shows
an increase of $4,000 tons.
With the shipping season al
most half over for this year a
reasonably fair estimate of the
amount of ore that will be sent
forward may be had. The aggre.
gate OF shipments for last year
from Duluth, Two Harbors and
Superior was 6, 144,258 tons. The
first half of the season this year
shows an aggregate increase of
638, 294 tons, which would mean
supposing the same increase is
shown for the latter half that the
increase from the head of the
lakes for the season will be fully
1876, 900 tons, making an aggre-
gate for the season of something
over 7,417, 900 tons. Owing to
the great demand for iron ore it
is expected that the latter half
Of the season will show bigger
increase than the first half, so it
is regarded as altogether proba
BILE the seasons figures will ex-
coed $500, 900 tons.
Had vessel tonnage been more
plentiful there is no doubt that
the shipments this season would
run beyond the 100000 mark.
Fifteen million tons is what the
iron ore interests have aimed at
for the entire Lake Superior re-
gion. The head of the Jake ports
have under the circumstances
done their share TO bring the
shipments up to as high a figure
as possible. But the other shin
ping points; with the exception
