But really, in a city where so much
tearing down and rebuilding is going
forward, these men have plenty of
work.
All these unions have the eight-hour
day. But there are mitigations. The
unions discourage overtime, but do
not prohibit it. They merely make it
pay double. There is no rule against
paying more than schedule price,
either. I have within the past week
heard of carpenter who was making
$50 a week in the near suburbs, and left
to take place on one of the great
city buildings, where he could make
$75 by working II hours a day. On
these giant structures time is every
thing. In eight months, one of the
new hustling construction companies
which deal direct with their laborers
and have no delay with subcontractors,
will put up 2O-story building and
have it filled with tenants. Under such
circumstances, overtime Of good men

The Mesaba Range.

Volume XLII of the Monographs
of the United States Geological
Survey is by Charles Kenneth
Leith, and is issued under the title
of "The Mesaba Iron Bearing Dis
trict of Minnesota" DR.. Leith, like
have produced the monographs re-
lating to the older ranges, has plac-
ed the Lake Superior mining inter-
ests under obligation for his thor
ough and mastery treatment of the
important subjects committed to
him, and in his summation of the
similarity and difference between
the ores of the Mesaba and those of
other Lake Superior ranges is of
special interest to many of our
readers:
"The iron ore deposits of the Me-
saba are similar to those of the
other Lake Superior ranges COM
monty known as the "old ranges"
in the following features: /. They
are concentrates from an original
ferrous iron compound. ?. They
have been concentrated by surface
waters bearing carbon dioxide and
oxygen. g. They are loca:ed
where the circulation of waters has
been most various. 4. They ire
mainly in pitching basins at he
least in part botto1ned by imper-
vious strata.
"The Mesaba iron ore depo,its
differ from those of the old ranges
in the following features: l. The
original material which by its at;
traction has given the iron ore in
the Mesaba district, while a ferrous
compound of iron, is mainly a ,ili.
cate rather than carbonate.} 2.
The pitching basins in the Fold
ranges are formed by a folded i'm
pervious formation or by the inter
section of the impervious fo1lna-
ton with dixie as in the Pendkee.
Gogebic district. The ore lies
against the impervious wall pck
at the bottom and also to a corBid1
cradle extent at the Sides In he
Mesaba district the ores, while
largely confined to broad, gentle
syncl1nes, are IN irregular bodies,
occupying but small part of the
syncline, and the local attitude of
the iron formation layers imnedi-
ately adjacent to the ores may Civ e
no indication of synclinical
structure. g. The Mesaba ore de-
posts are for the most part shallow
and have great horizontal dimen-
slons, those of the old ranges are
deep and narrow. The Mesaba de-
posits are seldom deeper than 800
feet, and may have a considerably
greater horizontal extent-in some
cases more than mile Deposits
OF the old ranges may reach a de-
post of 1900 feet or more, and sell
dom have surface greater than a
few hundred feet. On the Mesaba
range the areal extent of the ore de-
posts is about 5 per cent of the en-
tire iron formation, while in the
old ranges the percentage is less.
4. The pitch of the deposits is uni
tormly less steep in the Mesaba
range than in the old ranges. Av-
erage pitches range from 10 degrees
to 70 degrees. 5. The Mesaba ores
are much more hydrated than the
ores of the old ranges, with the
possible exception of those of the
Gogebic range, and they are on an
average of a softer character The
silica content also average less

of resolution which carried its ac
ceptance. The amount to be received
is $S,S93.s2. The report was accepted.
Then the question of rebuilding
came up and three propositions were
submitted. Supervisor Ed moved that
committee consisting of two mem
bers, in addition to the infirmary
committee. secure plans for another
building such as is needed. to report
at the next meeting. An amendment
by Supervisor Myers was to the eff
feet that the infirmary committee as

mate of the requirements of the pro-
posed building and that plans be ad-
vertised for, to be submitted at the
next meeting of the board. y substi-
tute was offered by Supervisor Dono-
van that the infirmary committee be
to employ an architect
and erect brick building not to eN-
ceed in cost $1,000. This was lost.

motion prevailed. Having ac-
