PREDICTS GREATEST YEAR IN HISTORY
OF Iron Ore Production, EstimatinQ
1910 Output to Be Ia Excess OF
$4,000, 900 Tons.

While for some time past the feel:
ing of the advent of a prosperous
era in the ore business has been a
dominant feature, 1t remained for a
prominent ore man to impart the
belief to a press reporter the past
week that the probable output Of
the Lake Superior ranges for the
year 1910 will exceed fifty million
tons.
"The quantity will not be fixed
by an interest,"" AYERS this man,
"tor it is manifest now that all of
the iron ore facilities will be taxed
to the utmost the entire season.
The iron and steel business has
entered upon new era of prosper
ity Of such probable extent az has
never been experienced before, and
that means that there will be un-
usual demands on the iron mines
of the Lake Superior region"
A shipment of fifty million tons
from the district would mean an
increase over 1907, the banner year,
of nearly 100000 tons, and would
certainly be an appreciated con-
dition by the business intere SITS of
the ranges, more particularly the
Mesaba, as the greater proportion
of all increa:e in shipments from
the district must of necessity come
from this range.
The present season, although
starting with somewhat. gloomy
business prospect, has merged into
decidedly prosperous year for the
Minnesota. ranges, and the con-
tinued predictions of an extended
era of demand will insure not only
continuance but an improvement
in these conditions, as it will de-
mand the continued working
throughout the winter of all under
ground properties and the strip
ping throughout the winter on
many of the open pit mines where
this work is not sufficiently in ad-
vance of the ore shipping facilities.

Believes County Should Build.

County Commissioner McInnis
was in from Eveleth Tuesday, and
in conversation with the Enterprise
scribe expressed the opinion that,
under the provisions of the new
law establishing a range court at
this point, the county should erect
building suita bic to care for such
court.
This idea is in keeping with the
expressed desire of many Virgin
ians, aud we trust the board of
county com nisioners at it's next
meeting may take action looking
to the provision of suitable place
for the holding of court in this city
as provided.
