road went speedily into the business Of
extending its lines into the Mesaba

to reach mines Of vast extent was com

money making in the business of trans

NEW. METHODS MEET

No more impressive demonstration
Of the demands made upon human in
genuity to devise means to meet con-
ditions almost absolutely new could be
given than is shown in the development
of methods for handling ore on the Iron
Range road and dock system. The
rolling stock and docks in the first
years of the installation Of the system
were adapted to the requirements Of a
traffic that called for the handling Of
a few thousand tons Of ore-the ship

the Vermilion Range. There was no in
cidental traffic and, at that time, no
well-founded hope Of any. But the
money was found, the road built and
the first ore train run down to the docks
twenty-five years ago.
The fact tells the whole story of how
the event justified the faith of the
projectors and builders Of the Iron
Range road. J
In the twenty-five years that have
elapsed since the first train was put
into service on the Iron Range road the
Mesaba range has been developed, the
traffic Of the railroad has increased in
such immense proportions that it is not
easily conceived Of and the railroad has

The total ore tonnage hauled by the
Duluth & Iron Range railroad last year
was 7,7S1,76 tons. It paid in taxes on
gross earnings the sum Of $903,771.65.
This year it will haul 100000 q. tons

The dock equipment has kept pace

From the one insignificant little dock
that was used in 1884 it has been ex-
panded both in frontage and height I'M
til it is now extensive enough to ac-
commodate many ships and to permit
the loading Of the biggest carriers on
the lakes. There are five Of these
docks, having total length Of 1924

ments the first season amounted to but
$4,000 tons. The docks were up-to-date
for their time, but they would be con-
sidered primitive now. The cars were
small and had no special equipment for
ore carrying. The docks were low in
structure and fitted only to meet the
necessity Of loading ore into vessels of
draught and tonnage that would be
reckoned insignificant in these days. A
ten thousand ton ship is loaded now in
half as many hours as one of thou
sand tons could be filed in those days.
But from the first the methods and
means of handling the ore were i'm
proved and, in these latter days-with
the vastly increased output of the
ranges and the demand for cheap steel

troublous days Of 1898 was time Of
expansion for the Iron Range road, and
there were some men in control in those
days whose faith In the range might
have carried a weaker vessel than the
railroad through without fear Of break
ing. The great difficulty for the road
then was to secure equipment fast
enough to supply the demand made for
It by the increasing ore output. Upon
the organization Of the Steel corpora
ton it passed under that control and,
like the other properties in that owner
ship, it has since developed enormously
in capacity, traffic and, earnings.
As before stated, it Is not in the ore
carrying trade alone that the Iron

They knew that the orc Of the Yer
million was merchantable hematite, but
it was not an easy matter to find money
for the building Of railroad to bring
that ore within reach Of the shipping.
In those days the great railroad de-
velopment of the West was getting
under way, but it was one thing to get
the funds to build railroad through
q grain-producing country where con-
struction was inexpensive, and quite
another affair to get the means for put
ting road through rough country for
the purpose of making a mining prop
erty profitable. There was no other ex-
