The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1904-03-19

Superior ore situation this year and
last year has been a graduation Of the
qualities OF the different Mesaba ores.
Their owners insist on wide different
ials, for which new methods OF grad
ing must be devised. The screen test
in use last year has not been satisfac-
tory, although 1t is better than no
test at all, as ia previous years,
1t is certain that there Is important
work yet TO be done, both inthe grad
alton OF different Lake Superior ores
and in methods Of using them whereby
Mesaba ores can be used 10 better ad-
vantage. Az the rate Of production
Of the past few years the old range
properties will be exhausted much
sooner than the Mesaba and then il
may be too late TO do anything. I'D
TO 1902 the country had been using
considerably less than one ton OF Me.
saba to ton of the other four ranges
In 1907 and 1903 the McSaba prOduc'
tion barely exceeded one-half the to-
tai. Yet the ore actually proved uT
on the Mesaba, over two-thirGS OF the
total, and the vast Hill properties
which are in general not proved up
come on top of this, beside which /,
the fact that If recent exploration,
are any index to the future, Mesabs
ore Is going TO be found much NOR,
rapidly than old range.
The United States Steel corporation
need have less concern about this
than the independents. It's proper
tion Of old range properties is greater
than that of the outsiders A com
promise may be struck i'm some cases
however. The Pennsylvania Stee
company, which has depended for tn,
whole OF its long history mainly OF
Cornwall ore, and has lately beer
looking quietly into the matter o
Lake Superior ore, can get the bulk o
its tonnage from the Mesaba range
and use such ore in connection Will

In Hematite township there is a
noticeable increase in the amount
collected. The percentages are as

Mesaba VS.. Old Range Ores.

1t is not SO certain that Mesabi ores
can be used ad lilo. in blast furnace
practice There was for some years a
steady increase in the percentage
which could be used in connection
with the hard ores OF the older ranges,
and some newly constructed furnaces
showed the possibilities of using
greater quantities, so that the con
clusion appeared probable that IN
time practice and design would be so
improved that almost 100 per cent Of
Mesaba ores could be used. Recent
experiences hardly bear out this
theory. The Clarion furnaces, which
were built particularly with view OF
using Mesaba ores, started of very
well. One of them was blown in on
100 per cent Mesaba, an unprecedent-
ed feat. as all the other furnaces
which had been using large percent
ages in regular practice had been
blown in on much smaller percent
age, gradually working up. But after
few months campaign Of very high
Mesaba mixtures at Clarion the per-
centage has been reduced until IL is
now IS per cent or less.
The Neville Island furnace Of the
American Steel & Wire company, was
first blown In July Z, 1901. 1t was de-
signed and almost completed before
the United States Steel corporation
was thought OF, and naturally con-
templated the use OF such ores as the
wire company controlled. Besides
important Mesaba holdings the com
pany had Gogebic, Menominee and
Marquette properties, and there was
no occasion TO strive for the highest
Mesaba percentages. 1t is therefore a
good example Of an entirely modern
furnace, yet not constructed, as were
the Clarion furnaces, with the spe-
cial view OF using nearly all Mesaba
ore. Yet with all the combined
knowledge available by the furnace
being under control OF the United
States Steel corporation, IL is believed
to be using only 30 or 40 per cent
Mesaba ore, and has certainly worked
badly all along. Since IL was blown
In few weeks ago IL has been par
ticularly irregular, and bad slips have
been the rule rather than the excep-
tlon, while IL has blown off for an
hour at a time. 1t Is distressing 10
contemplate what would certainly
have happened had this furnace been
built with the closed top which has
come into considerable vogue In the
past few years, and which eliminates
explosion doors and holds the furnace
into the limit Of the strength OF
certain parts--no matter what IL tries
20 do.
The vital factor now appears to be
that there are Mesaba ores and Mesa
ba ores. Some OF them are extremely
fine, while others are not SO fine, and
in some respects are really better than
the extremely hard ores OF some old
range properties, which are really too
hard. IL b not surprising, therefore,

The people of Mansfield township

on a ballot under the Office headings.
The people of Mansfield are sensible.
STAMBAUGH.
1t was thought that there would
be no contest in Stambaugh this year
but we learn that Mr.. Jobe is not to

Percent Collected.

1t will be seen from the above that
Hematite township leads the list with
Stambaugh very close second. The
City OF Crystal Falls which has lead
the list heretofore kept up its percen-
tage but the three townships above il
did so much better this year that she
sank TO fifth place. Crystal Falls
township is at the foot of the list this
year owing TO the fact that the Tax
payers Association refused to pay in
that township.
The persons who did the work in
the different townships are as follows:
Bates, Olof llelgemo, treasurer.
Atkinson, Louis "A. DauZy 4"
G. Falls Twshp. VIM Trebilcock, Dept

ARMORY COMMITTEE.
One is Appointed to Formulate
Stock Company Plan Guard
Officers Hold Meeting.

Further steps to secure a new armoTy
for the national guard were taken at a
meeting of the guard officers held last
evening in the office of Governor Heber
NJ. Wells, who was present. The senti-
ment was unanimous in favor of trying
to raise the money by public subscrip-
ton to the stock of a company. The
proposition is to organize a stock COM
pany to acquire the ground and erect
a building. A lease TO the state for a
term of years would guarantee the in
come. and IL is stated that the stock
should pay dividends of to s per cent.
a committee was appointed to formu-
late details of the plan. The commit
tee Is composed of Adjutant General c.
5. Burton, Colonel Nephi w Clayton,
Lieutenant Colonel Z. :. Ferry and
Lieutenant Colonel J. J. Greenewald.
A resolution was passed asking the
governor to take steps to have the ma
tional guard invited to participate in
the general maneuvers of the regular
army at Fort Riley or elsewhere.
Governor Wells complimented the
guard on its efficiency. and urged that
the numbers be increased.
There is a good prospect for the or
ganization of two new infantry compa-
MES. one in American Fork and one IN
Logan, making eight in all in the state.

BENSON'S FRIEND IN
THE LAND OFFICE

San Francisco, April 13.-when the
Hyde-Dimond land fraud inquiry was
resumed today before United States
Commissioner Heacock. William E VoIk.
formerly in the special division OF the
general land office at Washington, was
CrOSs-eXamined.
In response to questions the witness re-
iterated his testimony. given late yester-
day afternoon, when on crOss-examina-
ton he frankly and freely admitted that
he had received various sums of money
from John \. Benson. The witness was
asked If he had made many Hyde and
Benson cases special-that is. advanced
them out of order, and admitted that he
had. Questioned In detail as TO the cases
named in the indictment. he designated
about twelve of them as having been
advanced by him. He admitted that all
this was irregular
He was asked how many cases he had
advanced improperly for Hyde. Benson
and others and he answered probably 500
in all. He could not say how much money
in all he had received from Benson. He
said that he kept no books. but so far as
his memory served him he thought the
sum total would approximate 1000.
The witness said he did not pass on
Benson's cases in any other way than
he would have If they had been reached
IN their regular order
The only thing he did was to advance
them, for which he received pay from
Benson.
