Another good mile of excellent road
has been constructed and it is esti-

clear through, bridge and all.
AS there is no more money available
from the county the proposition is
being discussed to secure the cash

priation in payment. This seems to
be a fair way out of the difficulty and

pairing. The township OF Morse has
this in charge and about $4,000 are
needed to place the road west Of the

About The Mines.

At the Sibley mine the Oliver COM
pany has begun excavations for the
const: uction of a new engine house,
air COMPRISING and electric plant.
This plant when completed promises
to be one of the best in the north
west, fitted with improved hosting
gear, dynamos for the motor system
and lighting and one of the latest
COMPRISING plants. A new stockpile
ground is also being filled in with the
rock and ground hoisted from the
shaft.
The shovel at the Savoy stockpile
has been idle several days this week.
About 100000 tons have been ship
ped from this mine and about 10000
tons yet remains in stock. Shaft No.
2 is down a distance Of 600 feet and
drifting has begun. 1t is intended to
hoist ore from the new shaft this
winter.
The Zenith has discontinued ship
ments from the stockpile for the sea-

About $4,000 tons have been shipped
from this mine this season. The

Then and Now,

When the shipments of ore from the
Superior region first began the
methods used in mining were still
crude and expensive. The pick and
shovel and hand drill were then the
best known implements for dislodging
the ore. In deep mines the ore was
lifted out the shafts by means of der
fricks-and horse whims; where it was
possible to enter on the level, wheel
barrow and carts were employed. A
plank road from the mines to the
docks was constructed soon after the
mines were opened, and cars were first
used about 1880.
Power drills driven by steam OF
compressed air were introduced in
1868. Tram cars were first used about
$780, In 1857 a railroad was built
from Marquette to the adjacent
mines. Since then the discovery OF
new mines, the invention of new
methods of mining, and the improved
hosting machinery used at the mines
have reduced the cost to such an eX-
tent that ore that would have sold for
several dollars a ton fifty years age
has of late been sold at the mines.
ready for shipment, as low as Y cents
per ton. Machinery is used for almost
every move the ore makes, from the
time it is dislodged from the bank

KOOchiching Paper Mill.

Hon. j. c. lockwood of Mime
apolis, was in Koochiching last week
in the interest of a scheme to gain
control of the water power in Rainy
River on the American side, and the
erection of a paper mill. This deal
has been in contemplation for some
time past, and gives present indicat-
ion of satisfactory settlement. 1t
is the intention of the company, if
agreeable terms can be negotiated
with the Ontario government, to
manufacture the wood into pulp at
FIT. Frances, on the Canadian side,
and then, right across the river, at
Koochiching, to manufacture the
pulp into paper.

Diverting Traffic Over the ID. s. L. r.

The enormous increase in the ship.
ments over the Duluth & Iron Range
road and the falling off in those OF the
M issabe road will cause considerable
comment. 1t has been known for
some time among those familiar with
mining affairs in this section that the
policy of diverting all possible traffic
to the Iron Range road is now being
followed. Train crews are being cut
off the Missabe and there is, if any
thing, greater number on the other
road. Crews are being laid off at
some of the mines that ship over the
Missabe road and in some cases are
being transferred to mines that ship
over the other line. For ms lance,
some of the men were pulled off at
the Adams mine and sent over to the
Fayal.
The reason for this can only be
found in the minds Of the managers
of the road and mines. OF course, it
is we'll known that the steel company
controls both roads and the mines.
Railroad men generally suppose that
the larger the amount of tonnage car
ried the cheaper the cost of carrying,
and this may be the reason for divert
ing the traffic to one road as much as
possible. The Iron Range road may
be better equipped to handle the
larger traffic On the other hand
many railroad and mining men have
always thought the Missabe road
could handle ore cheaper because of
it's better grades.
Another explanation is given that
may or may not be true. 1t is that
the Minnesota Iron company mines
and the Duluth & Iron Range rail-
roads are under new management this
year and the heads may be interested
in making showing for those partic-
ular nterests.-Herald.

Shortage Over Last Year.

The Iron Trade Review says: The
report showing the shipment of iron
ore from the upper lake region to the
receiving ports of Lake Erie, has not
been complied for the month of
August. Notwithstanding the fact
that this data is not at hand, there is
strong impression abroad that the
total receipts for the year will show
shortage as compared with last
years figures complied on Sept. J.,
This is little more than was
to be expected, for to entirely
wipe out the shortage the ship
pers would have had to duplicate
extraordinary movement of July and
add to that about 100000 tons Of ore.
The inability of the dock facilities
along the lake to handle all the ore
which the boats brought down, and
the annoying shortage of cars, for
direct movement from the lakes to
the furnance stockpiles, prevented
the shippers from making the record
they aimed at making. AS natural
result the shippers must continue
through the month of September at
least to bid freely for wild tonnage,
being deprived CT the sought-for
ielief through the incapacity of the
docks.
1t is now to be the aim Of the ship
pers to move as much wild ore as
possible before the other trades on
the lakes begin to bid heavily for
wild tonnage, this movement among
the ore shippers being their means of
escaping, if possible, the usual rapid
advances of wild lake rates during the
fall season. At present shippers are
bidding freely for tonnage and are
paying without question or bubble
the rates which have prevailed all
summer, 80 cents, from Duluth, 70
cents from Marquette and 60 cents
from Escanaba. The latter port is
already compelled to divide tonnage
with Chicago grain shippers.
