Iron Ore.

Duluth. Julius Moersch, statistitiau
OF the state labor department., has com
plcted a comprehensive report upon
iron ore mining in Minnesota during
1904. After several months of inspec-
ton and correspondence with the op
orators of the large mines he had
gathered together some interesting
data touching the production of ore
on the range and labor conditions as
they ex S ed during that year. The
magnitude of the industry in Minneso'
ia can be easily grasped by perusal
Of the report.
The five Lake Superior iron ore
ranges, tho Mesaba, Vermillion, Goge~
bic, Menomiuee and Marquette range,
had at the close of the year 1901 ship
ped total of 365. 696, $50 tons of ore, OF
which the Minnesota mines, located in
the Vermillion Vermiilion and Mesaba
ranges furnished 37.5 per cent, or in
round numbers 100, sl7,0 tons.
