UNLOADING IRON ORE SHIPS
Machinery That Now Greatly Reduces tho
Labor and Cost.

Machinery That Now Greatly Reduces tho
Labor and Cost.
The use of steam shovels at some Of
the large iron mines in the Lake Su-
perior region in loading cars at the
mines has long been an important ele-
ment in reducing the cost of our iron
ore. The handling of the ore in this
manner years ago reached degree
of perfection that is almost incredible.
A record of 6000 tons of ore dug from
the ground and loaded by one machine
in nine hours indicates what may be
done under favorable conditions. OF
course this achievement is not usual
and 1t would be unfair to gauge sea-
sons work by this record. The aver
age output Of each shovel per- y,
working in open pits and dumys2the
ore directly into the cars is IlIJdt 1900
to 1000 tons costing from 10 to Is
cents ton to mine and load.
It was long, however, before great
expedition and economy were secured
in unloading the ore ships after their
arrival at the receiving ports of Lake
Erie. This proDlem has been solved
at last, machinery having supplanted to
a large extent the nand labor which
formerly filled the ore buckets. Orc
handling appliances now remove the
ore from the vessel at minimum Ct
expense.
At Conneautj on Lake Erie, for in
stance, 6OO0-ton ship may now be
cleared of it's ore in IA hours. A load
Of ore arriving at that port may be de-
livered at the furnaces of Pittsburg in
2S. hours after the arrival Of the ves-
sci. A steam shovel in operation there
loads 35 to 40 cars with ore in two
hours.
The machine for unloading vessels
weighs about 400 tons, has height of
IS 1eet, and is mounted on wheels, so
that it is moved along the dock as 1t
unloads one part after another Of the
vessel The clamshell bucket which
scoops up the ore has spread OF 10
feet, takes out 10 tons of ore at
time and discharges it directly into
railroad cars or through hopper into
small cars, which carry it to stock
piles at the rear OF. the dock Its ca
pacity ranges. under ordinary condi-
tions, from $50 to 300 tons per hour.
IT. reduces the labor employed rs per-
cent, only six men being necessary for
the operation of each machine. Three
men are in the hold to clean up the
ore which the machine cannot reach
and the other three arc engaged in op-
erati,' the machine. The entire cost
inc lung the wages Of workmen and
engineers is 20 cents ton for remov-
ing the ore from vessels and depositing
it on rallroad cars ready for transpor-
tation to the furnaces.
This machine has been introduced at
most of the ore receiving ports incl.'d
