SOUDAN MINE CLOSES DOWN.
Two Hundred and Fifty Men Temper
arilv Our of Emnlovnen+

Wo Hundred and Fifty Men Temper.
arily Out Of Employment.
Two hundred and fifty men, en-
ployes of the Minnesota Iron company
are out of work through the closing
down Of the Soudan mine near Tower.
This is the first Of the Steel corpora
TONS mines in Minnesota to cease op-
erations and may be followed by a
shortening of the force in some of the
other mines. $500.
Recently it was announced that the
constituent companies Of the steel COR
atfon.ha on hand more non -Besse-
I=:mer ore than they. could handl e during
{ the present season and the closing of
the Soudan was predicted at that time.
It is the only non Bessemer producer
the company has in the Northwest
and the possibility of complications in
lake shipping made the closing of the
mine seem the more certain.
limo Of the Closing.
In spite Of this, the mine continued
to operate with full force until a few
days ago when it was announced that
the men would be laid off. There was
no indication as to when it would re-
sumo, but it is presumed that it will
be kept out of commission until the
steel corporation company succeeds
in working off it's stock Of non-Besse-
mer ore.
The enforced idleness of so many
men has been serious blow to the
business interests OF Soudan, which
obtained a large portion of it's trade
from the miners, but it is thought
that some arrangements may be made
whereby at least some Of the men will
obtain employment: It Is said that
the Minnesota Iron company is ar
ranging to- give employment in some
of the other mines to the married men,
but that many Of the single men will
have to shift for themselves. The
pump men have been continued at
work and the pumps are still in oper-
alton, giving rise to the hope that the
shutdown may be of short Duration.
At the Other Mines.
It is asserted that no change in the
working force is contemplate in the
Minnesota Iron company's mines in
the Ely group and the work of devel-
oping will continue. It is possible that
the number of employees may be re-
duced slightly at the Pioneer mine,
but it is thought that the others will
continue throughout the winter, work.
