THE EASTERN,S ORE CdRS.

AA/ A10oA AbASS' - OxS1 Od no.
The Chicago Great Western
has delivered in St. Paul to tie
Great Northern railway the last
consignment of pressed steel
cars for the ore trade on the
Eastern Minnesota. The first
order on the Pittsburg concern
for the improved style of ore
cars was placed over a year ago.
The initial order was for fifty
but the company's business on
the Mesaba range grew so rap.
idly that the order, six months
later, was increased by forty,
and the cars have been coming
IN by consignments. They are
224 feet long, made entirely OF
pressed steel, and weigh %, 500
pounds each. They have the
patent dump bottom, and are
unloadcd directly into the hold
of the vessel while at dock.
The saving effected in the
handling of the ore on the dock
with the automatic dumping de-
vice makes the car money, as
we'll as time, saver. No other
railroad company with the same
mileage as the Eastern Minne>
sofa ever took on so large a re-
sponsibllity in the way of an or
der for such an extensive sup.
ply of equipment for partlcu-
lar part of it's traffic.
