oughy familiar With the meteoric
flights of American enterprise must be
surprised at the mushroom growth of
this Lake Superior mining country. The
first ore diggers went to work there
nearly forty-five years ago, and yet one
third Of all the ore which has been pro-
duced there during the four and half
decades has been mined since President
Mckinley was elected the first time.
Within twoscore years the annual out
put has increased one hundred and fifty
fold. Or If still more convincing evil
dence is desired, take the record Of last
year or the year previous. In either one
of these periods there was taken out of
