There need be little discussion ABOUT
the earning Of the Wolverine mine on
a Is cent copper market. For the year
ending June 30. 1902. the cost Of
Wolverine copper laid down at the
seaboard was s.5l2 cents per pound.
exclusive of construction. The output
of the mine for the fiscal year 1904
should be 8, 800, 600 pounds of ingot
copper. The equipment is complete
practically for all time and henceforth
Wolverine construction charges will be
very small. Figuring at n cost of SO

likely to be less. Wolverine earning 5

That the Republic Iron Company is
just commencing line of permanent
improvement in the equipment OF the
mine may well be the subject OF con-
graduation 70 every citizen. since il
may be accepted as the best evidence
of the opinit n of the Officials as to the
extent Of the rema lining ole deposits.
Perhaps the most important Of these
improvements are the changes 10 be
made in the water power plant,
ground for which was broken on
Monday. The plan contemplates an
addition TO the north end of the pre-
sent building. in which will be in
stalled two powerful compressors with
a capacity more than double that of
the four Rand compressors now is use.
A new and modern water wheel is to
be- put in one that will more nearly
save the waste of power by the present
one which was put in in 1876 and of
course has been outclassed for some
time, though having paid for the pipe
line and plant many times over.
Another important improvement is
the putting in Of a double skip in the
PascOe shaft which was abandoned
some ten years ago. This desiga 70

been closed since the fire some three
years ago. While these improvements
are expected TO overcome the greater
depth attained and meet the increase
demand for power in this respect as
well as an increase of product, they
will be gratifying to every property

AT THE HIAWATHA.

The work Of improving and enlarg-
ing the present plant at the Hiawatha
mine is progressing quite rapidly and
satisfactorily. The foundation and
bed for the new boilers have been
completed. and one Of the boilers is all
ieady in place. The other is expected
IN "A few days One of the old boilers
will also be moved and placed along
side the new ones making a battery of
three boilers to do the work Of the
mine. Ground has also been broken
for new and larger hoist and air
compressor.
The old buildings will be torn down,
in order TO make more dock room,
When all these improvements have
been made the Hiawatha will have an
almost entirely new and up-to-date
plant OF machinery, equal to any in
the county. Under ground the mine
is being opened up and got in hape to
hoist ore more rapidly than it has been
able to do heretofore. During the
winter the shaft was sunk to the
fourth level and drifting TO the ore is
progressing as rapidly as could be
desired. With plenty of cars 10 00
tons of ore can be easily sent forward
this season. Reporter.

FOUND IRON ORR.

The North Star Mining company,
mention of which was made in the
Times couple Of weeks ago. which
has been exploring about three miles
north of the city. in the hope Of find
ing copper, were somewhat surprised
this week at making a find of iron ore
on their property. A number of
samples of the ore were brought to the
city. The ore is of low grade but. Of
course, is taken from near the surface,
and there is no telling but that the
find may prove valuable one when
greater depth is attained Times

will make things lively in the Spring

ed to strip the ore body of this mine
of the sand overburden The average
depfh Of the overburden will amount

Is necessary TO leave very thick back
and large pillars to hold it up
The mine is getting to such a

about the property are of a much
brighter nature than they We're in the
late winter Physically the mine is
much better. There was some pro-
spect in the early spring of the new
lift not showing up well. A drift was
run along on the length of the ore
measure for 90 feet, which showed the
ore deposit 10 be not over six feet
wide. However, beyond that point
the walls opened up and the deposit is
now as wide as it ever was.
The hoist is maintained at about the
same rate and the mine will ship
about the same amount this year as

Absolute control of the ore-carlying
trade of the lakes is said by well in
formed shippers to be an accomplished
fact for the steal trust.
1t is claimed by shippers that the
boats of the independent cwners--have
been suffering lengthy and numerous
delay 10 unloading at the ore docks in
the lake Erie ports while the boats of
the steel trust have been receiving
quick dispatch.
The steel corporation owns enough
vessels to enable it to control the ore
carrying trade and make whatever
rate it pleases at the opening of the
season
AT the opening of navigation this
spring the trust announced rate Of
So cents for ore from the head of the
lakes. The increase Of 10 cents was
supposed TO cover the increased cost
in fuel and wages. Later cut of 3
cents in the rate was made and is
generally credited to the steel trust.
"Our coal bills are $l20 trip high
er this year than they were last
said a prominent marine man in dis
cussing the situation, and there is an
increase of about 30 per cent in the
cost of labor. If the individual boats
were given quick dispatch it might be
a living rate, but with the way the
boats are falling over themselves in
their endeayors to get unloaded you
can see how we are going to come ont.
THE individual furnace man cannot
pay more than the trust rate fer, Of
course, he has to compete with the
trust in selling his product The
outlook of anything but promising
for the individual vessel owner on the
lakes Duluth Herald
