The we'll stocked condition of the docks
and the summer 8 light shipments to the
western country also enter into the sit
uation.
1t is estimated that $4,000 tons of
coal are afloat on the bay at present.
The vessels are anchored in the basin
or tied up at other docks around the
harbor, all waiting for a chance to I'M
load. A dozen or more vessels are IN
this plight and many Of them will be
compelled to wait ten days or two
weeks.
The double holiday-sunday and La
Dor Day-accOunts in great measure
for this condition. Coal shippers and
vessel men at the lower lake ports
hustled everything off last Saturday IN
, order to avoid the delay incident to
Sunday and Labor Day. This showed

Docks are stocked almost to the
limit and coal cannot be shifted in order
to make room for more.

were a year ago. But there was a>sum

One of these is a rush such as has never

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 1O.-Shipments
of lumber out of Lake Superior ports
last month were $50, 30S,00D! feet, and
for the season to date they have been
493 1924 900. This is in comparison with
1852 ,443,0o0 and SIG ,116,0o0 for the cor
responding periods of last year. The
opening of navigation, for. since bust
ness commenced in 1904 it has been
greater than for the same period in
1903. Shipments are going along rap
idly from all ports and will make up a
good deal of the losses Of the early
part of the year, but the total cannot
be expected to- reach as high, About
four.ninths of shipments off the lake
are from Duluth and Two Harbors. Ash
land comes next.
The Brooks-Scanlon company, at
Scanlon, near this city, is shipping
a large amount Of it's product this
way, especially low grades and
common. 1t has just made. "a
sale to 20 east of all it's previously
unsold No. and 4 boards to be cut
that will be fit to ship, next year, the
sale amounting to twelve or fourteen
million feet. Of this total about 6,0Qo,:
900 feet will be ready by spring and
the rest will come along until the fol-
lowing September. This is one of the
very large sales Of the year from this
point. All Brooks-Scanlon lumber des-
tined for the lake is hauled out. on it's
own road to the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern connection, and on that road
to it's docks in the upper bay, where
it is loaded. The mill is to run this
winter, for the first time, and the cut
of the company for the calen dar year
should not be far below :l25,ooo,ooo
feet. ~
: Shipments east by the Cloquet mills
are going fast and will be fully up to
expectations. These companies are
selling steadily and maintain their
stocks at about the usual level this
summer. -
It is supposed that some Of the In.
dian timber to be sold next month by
the department of the interior will be
logged this winter, in addition to the
2O0,OOO,OOO feet that Superintendent
O'Neill estimates will be cut of the
sales Of year ago.
Large camps are going In at Blue
berry, @ small station on the Northern
Pacific road few miles east Of Su
perior, and numbering operations that
have been conferred about Brule will be
carried ON there. Probably not less thar
500 men will be employed near Blue
lberry.

economical. The average cost of I'M
derground mining is $3.50 a ton. In
the open pit, one shovel loads on an
average 5000 tons Of ore in ten hours
and uses two tons of coal to do 1T,
making the coal cost about one-f1fth
Of q cent a ton of ore. The entire
expense above the cost Of stripping
does not exceed cents a ton. The
best record up to date has been 232
cars, containing 5000 gross tons,
which were loaded at the Fayal mines
lin a nine and-one-half-hour day.
e. Business of the Laboratories.
The analysis Of the ore is an i'm
portant feature. The ore, as sold, is
Of two grades-the bessemer, which
must go 81 per cent Of iron or bet
below this limit. Much Of the ore Is
a great deal higher than the besse-
mer limit This is mixed with the
poorer grade and sold as bessemer,
thus allowing of a better disposal Of
the ore at the mine.
The laboratories analyze samples
from every part of the mines for both
| shifts. Every car Of ore also Is sam
pied, and after the ore is loaded into
! boats the cargoes are sampled. The
| laboratories are generally modern and
| convenient, with the best that can be
obtained in the line Of equipment and
| chemicals.
The. samples, which originally
/ weigh from five to. thirty pounds, are
| mixed, pulverized, reduced and dried
till they have a. bulk the size Of a
watch. Small portions are weighed
| over delicate chemical balances, dis
solved over a gas flame in acid and
the solution treated for percentage of
iron phosphorus, silica, manganese
and sometimes for alumina, lime,
sulphur and magnesia. The sample
| is preserved for a year.
The laboratories do much extra
work on test-pit and diamond drill
samples, as well as on special fuel

The extreme fneness OF Mesaba ore
renders it impracticable in a. furnace

fact, together, with that Of it's great
abundance and easy production,

its chemical makeup Is superior.
The result is that ores, which on the
whole average better than any other
district in the world bring at present
the lowest prices on the market.
The vermillion ore, while being
very high grade, possesses desirable
physical properties. This fact causes
