CIR SuPql = o. IRON ORE
Caraeqie Says .kaotxn deposits %
Lake Reqioa viii last 81 Years.

Speaking at the conference of
state governors and others called
by President Roosevelt, Andrew
Carnegie stated that this decade
fwill.see an annual output of fifty
tn1iAion. tons or more of iron ore
Esand' that the deposits now known in
the Lake Superior region will be
about exhausted before the year
1910. Mr.. Carnegie said, in part:
"Our highest grade ore is that of
the Lake Superior district, which
yields about tour.tifths of the cur
rent production. In 1895 it's yield
was over 33, 100000 tons, in 1905 some
3S,OO0,OO tons, and in 1907 nearly
100000 tons, bythe end of the
present decade it will average 5O,-
10000 tons or more. Even without
further increase, the known supply
will be exhausted before 1870
there are frequent reports of new
ore bodies in this district; but on
on the other hand, the old bodies
generally run far below the estim.
ates.
"The total production of iron ore
in the United States up to 1890 was
some 275,O0OOOO tons; in the next ten
years it was nearly 200y0OO,OOO; and
in the seven years from 1901 to 1907
more than 27OOOOOO tons were pro-
duced, or nearly as much as the
total for the first century of our
history. The aggregate produc-
ton to date, 75O,OO0,OO tons, is about
one-thirteenth of the estimated or.
iginal supply. At the recent rate
of increase doubling each decade)
the production in 1918 will exceed
lOO.0OO,OOO tons, by 1928, 2OOO00O
tone, and by 1893 it will be over
4OO,OOO,OOO tons-i. e., in that single
year, which many of us may ex.
pect to see, an amount approximate
ing the entire production in the
United States up to the close of last
year. BY that date about half of
the original supply will be gone,
and only the lower grades of ore
will remain. and all the ore now
deemed workab BILE will be used long
before the end OF the present cen
tury."
