the Mesabi was issued there were
comparatively no data for this dis
trict, and mapping had to be done
largely by surface indications, and
on the Mesabi these are notorious
ly misleading.
The most westerly outcropping
of the chart of the Mesabi is on the
west bank of the Prairie river, in
section "a, T. Sc, r. Is. No consider
able quantity of ore has been
found west of that point, though
what seems to be a wash is to be
traced miles westerly, and spreads
out for a width north and south
of from 16 to 10 miles west of the
Mississippi river. Some work has
been done, enough to prove that
the ~ore-bearing formation is not
there, at least not reasonably near
the surface. The largest ore body
of the. Canisteo Mining company
lies north of Trout lake, in sections
70, Il, and % and %, T. Sc, r. "a.
This is about three miles east from
the outcropping on Prairie river,
but no merchantable ores have
been found in the intervening dis
lance.
This work is the most important
exploration now being carried on
in the Lake Superior region, or that
has been under way there for some
years. It has already increased the
known tonnage of the range by $50
per cent of what the Mesabi has
mined throughout its entire career.
1t is not impossible that c~oncentra-
ton of 40 and 45 per: cent average
ores at a cost of SC. a ton, as present
results seem to indicate, may be
extended both ways; and still lean
er ores may be brought up to mer-
charitable grade, and that better
ores, not structurally too fine, may
be screened to reduce freight
charges and eliminate dust. The
area carrying ores similar to those
now under test may be considerab-
ly extended by future work.

Concentration of Mesaba iron Ores.

The Mesaba iron ore range, of
Minnesota, was developed so re-
Gently and the magnitude of it's de-
posts has been so frequently men,
toned in extravagant terms, that
the fact of concentration being at
tempted there will cause some sur
prise. But the experiment is being
made On a most important scale by
men of ample means who usually
succeed in what they attempt. The
Canistoe Mining company, of Du-
luth, is a recent organization, but
its incorporates have been at work
for over three years on the western
part of the range that has always
been considered of little value on
account of the lean, sandy nature
of the ores. These occur in Itasca
county extending from near the
group of mines at Nashwauk, in
sections 80 and 81, T. 81, r. q, to a
point s~everafmiles west of the Mis-
sissippi river, a distance of about
"a miles.
The first important experiments
at concentration were made about
two years ago, when Chas. Purdon.
of Duluth, took ore from the Arctu-
rus mine in section 13, T. so, r. "a,
and had it washed and screened in
the south by a process commonly
in use there. An option on the
property was then given the Stand
ard Mining company, in which Mr..
W. P. Snyder was chiefly interested,
and experiments in concentration
by washing and agitation were car
ried on for some time. Had the ore
market remained where it was at
the time the option was taken, it is
possible that Mr.: Snyder would
have exercised his rights; but he
did not, and the property reverted.
to it's owners. At about that time
the Union Steel company, of Pitts
burg, was, through it's Donora Min
ing company, at work on the Hol-
man N-acre tract, on section q.
same township, but after a good
deal of exploration decided to
abandon the place. This tract is
now shown to contain 100000, of
which 100000 tons do not require
concentration and is held under
option by the Canistoe company.
AT the same time, and prior to it
the leading men of the Canistoe
company were at work in the field.
They explored cnrsorily a large

CANALS OF.-CANADA.
-sr-a-- = =
The Various Systems Are Maintained
and ExtendeA at An Immense
Annual Cost.

What is known as the st. Lawrence
system OF canals extends from Lachine,
near Montreal. via the great Lauren
tian lakes and their connections, TO
Sauit Ste. Marie. Ontario These, with
their feeders. have total length of
1871 miles. with 40 locks. The Welland
canal proper, connecting Lake Ontario
and Lake Erie. is 26A miles long. with
rise OF 326x feet the depth OF the
canal between locks being adapted to
the passage of vessels drawing not more
than Il feet, reports American Consul
A. G. Seyfert, from Stratford. Canada.
The Ottawa and Rideau river canal
system includes total length Of navi-
gable waters Of 126N miles. There are
Sc locks. with an aggregate length OF
29K miles. The total distance from
Montreal to Kingston by this route is
245h miles. The lockage is 44SA
feet, 282H feet being rise and 164 feet
fall. In the 161h miles Of the Rideau
canal embraced in this system there
are 40 locks, IS of them ascending and
IA descending.
On the upper Ottawa are the Culbute
locks at LTslet These surmount the
Culbute and L'Islet rapids on the north
ern branch of the Ottawa river. and COM
| prise two locks and three dams.
The amount expended on Canadian
canal works and maintenance, charg-
| able to capital account, including the
amount expended from their income, to
June 80, 1902, was $101. 535 1862. OF this
amount the sum of $40, 692. PA was ex-
pended before the confederation
$4,175, 921 by the imperial government
and SIG SIS, 233 by the provincial gov
ernments interested. The total amount
spent for construction and enlargement
alone, is .$86. Cos .201,. including the cost
OF the survey of the Bale Certe canal,
which was at one time considered a
feasible plan for uniting the Bay of
Fundy and the Gulf of st. Lawrence.
The total cost Of the construction of
the Wefland canal to June 30, 1902, was
$24,98S,SO5, of which amount $222,22O
was contributed by the imperial govern
ment and $7,461. O2O by the Ontario
government prior to the confederation.

The correspondent in Germany of a
London paper states that the plan.
which hassbeen mooted for nearly year
OF forming q general trust or cartel OF
all the steel interests Of Germany, seems
now in q fair way of being.realized. 1t
appears that for the present only the
larger steel works are to be taken into
the combination. such as are already in
the steel-rail, girder and half-rolled
goods syndicates. These different SYM
dicates will lose their identity in the
new combination, while it is expected
that several other syndicates, like the
bar-iron, plate. piping. wire and pig
iron combinations, will later attach
themselves to It,. but maintain their
separate identity-Oliver ]. D. Hughes

SUPPRESSION OF MALARIA.
Ing Carried On by Austrian
Authorities.

Consul Hossfeld, at Trieste, has made
report to the state department in re-
gard to the steps being taken in Austria
FOR the suppression of malaria. Accord
ing to his report, a Vienna manufactur-
er, Leopold Kupelweiser, prompted by
the result OF Prof. Koch's investigations
relating to Intermittent fever, has placed
at DR.. Koch's disposal the island of
3rioni (situated west Of the peninsula
of Ishria and about 60 miles south Of
Trieste) to enable him to continue there
his investigations. The experiments
which DR.. Koch had made in Africa con-
vinced him that malaria could be
stamped out in many places where it
now prevails. and that where it was pos
sible to isolate such place the task
would be comparatively easy. It is
now well known that the microbe of
malaria is conveyed from one person to
another by the sting of a species Of mos
quito.
AS these insects cannot fly very far,
an accession OF infected mosquitoes
from the mainland seemed to: be out Of
the question, and 1t was hoped that by
curing the sick during the cold season
and then. waging energetic warfare
agaiRststhe conveyor OF the microbe the
disease could be permanently banished
from. the island. Dr.. Koch therefore &C
cepted the offer made to him by Mr..
Kupelweiser, and Entrusted Prof.
Frosch and Dr.. Blundau. of Berlin, with
this mission. Their remarkable success
led the. Austrian government to make an
attempt to exterminate malaria on the
coast of Istria by Prof Koch's method.
It caused three malaria stations to be
established, and detailed physicians,
furnished with the finest microscopical
to these stations. The
physicians examine the blood of all per-
sons suffering from malaria, and sub
ect all suspicious cases to systematic
course of treatment Quinine in tab
lets or capsules Is furnished to pa
tents free Of cost at public expense. II
The work Of these stations should be at
tended with success, it is also proposed
to establish similar stations in all those
| districts Of Istria and Dalmatia infested
with malaria, for the purpose Of remov-
| ing this great evil.
