iron ore deposits. The shipments
by ports during April were as
follows.
Step Process Furnace

If the treatment of Roy Develop
ment Co., Tower. ore is success
fully accomplished at the Kloman
mine in Michigan, the first Jones
Step process furnace on the Yer
million range will be installed at
this mine according to present
plans. Ore is being shipped from
the mine to the furnace and a
thorough test made.
The experiments will be made on
a commercial scale, so that there
will be no doubt about the success
of the plant once it is ready to put
in operation. The Roy mine has a
large tonnage of banded iron ore
and taconite which it is expected
the Jones furnace will handle in a
commercially profitable manner.
The ore which will be treated at
the Roy is found close to the sur
face, and at moderate depth. The
company expects to develop bodies
of regular shipping ore at greater
depth. The Roy company will
strip its north vein, which is %
feet in width, to furnish tonnage
for the furnace.

FIRE AT 80
Section 30 Mine in Danger
Yesterday

1t required much hard work by
the men at the mine assisted by a
crew from Fall Lake with the fire
engine, three members of the Ely
department and 500 feet of hose,
to save from destruction the entire
works at the Section 80 mine dur
ing the high wind of yesterday
afternoon.
A forest fire coming from the
south had come upon the mine
and location with the swiftness of
the wind. The fire communicated
with a large stock of timber and
tagging piled near the mine and a
large amount was destroyed. The
fire fighters however succeeded in
stopping further losses at this
position and the fire passed the
location. A copious fall of rain
during the night prevented the
spread and the damages are con-
fined to the heavy loss of timber
and logging.
A large force of men is still
employed in fighting the fires and
otherwise making things more safe.

cognizes the power of united action
and admires people that can get
together on a basis of common
loyalty.
Confidence needs confidence;
boosting begets boosting; ethus-
iasm is contagious. The Develop
ment association is unique as an
organization. 1t is the first time
that a great part of great state
has joined to work for the common
good, and has shown the ability,
the wisdom, the good sense and
good fellowship to do this in har-
mony.
DR.. Lord of Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
who is the owner of large acreage
in this and adjoining counties,
bears testimony that Northern
Minnesota has attracted more at
tention and greater favor in his
state, through this association, than
through all other means of adver-
Using.
The Twin Cities have sat up
and taken notice, since these meet
ings, that Northern Minnesota is
on the map. They turned up their
noses and stayed away from Be-
midi; they came in special trains
with bands to Crookston, asking
honorary membership.
Since Brainerd the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific have sent
out advertising cars to tour the
country. In the legislature our
members pulled together for the
first time in the history of the state.
The results tell the story of the
force of mutual realization of NUT
ual interest.
Moral-Come to Duluth. Come
ready to help, to suggest, counsel
to advise, to work together, to
boost and to perpetuate the most
valuable agency for good that
Minnesota has. The Lord hell

IRON ORE
Cleveland Iron Trade Re-
view Comments on Ore

Iron Trade Review.-That east
ern furnaces have not entirely
abandoned the idea of using Lake
Superior ores is shown by the
presence in the city this week of
the representative of an eastern
steel company, who desires to make
long time contract for 5000, 900
tons of ore to be delivered during
the next ten years. AS this COM
pany has important ore deposits in
Cuba, the offer to contract for
Lake Superior ores was unexpected.
The company, however, asks a
substantial reduction from the
prevailing prices of lake ore, and it
does not seem probable that a
contract will be closed. Aside
from the furry caused by this
eastern company, the market has
been very quiet. There is keen
competition on low grade ores, on
which unusually low prices are
being made.
Ore shipments during April were
331, 645 tons, as against /, $40, 3O5
tons shipped during April, 1910, a
decrease of 1 1873, $50 tons. 1t will
be recalled that the season of 1910
opened with a rush to the great
regret of vessel owners who were
forced to retire a fair portion of
their vessels within two months
thereafter. This year the season is
opening very slowly and the
amount of ore to be moved during
May will be small. Some of the
larger shippers have not sold
enough ore as yet to warrant
putting their vessels into commits
sion and practically all the ore
that is moving is for furnace and
steel works that have their own

present time just issued makes
inspiring reading. Though the
expenditure involved is not stated,
it is said that the percentage of
1910 was surpassed.
The report shows that 100000
cubic yards of concrete had been
used of which 10000 was placed in
the foundation. There was built
700 feet of SO-inch concrete sewers;
2 400 feet 48-inch concrete sewer;
5000 feet of 24-inch tile sewer, 80
feet below the general surface;
seven miles of railroad track;
machine shop. 280 x 14O feet; forge
shop, 14O 65, blacksmithshop
14Ox 80; power house 100 x 40;
storage building, 300 x 40. Twelve
miles of copper wire for power
transmission has been put up and
ESQ., 900 concrete blocks have been
manufactured. There has been
installed centrifugal pump, mil
lion gallon capacity, for water
supply; and 800 horse power boiler
and generator, 500 kilowatt
capacity.
1t is stated that the force now
employed at the plant will be
largely augmented in a couple of
weeks, and that with the arrival of
big consignment of iron and steel
material, which is expected about
June 10, perhaps 200 skilled IRON
workers will be taken on.

Big Business

The magnitude of the operations
now under way at the Minnesota
Steel company's site in New Du-
1uth is but family appreciated by
the public.
Many will remember that, accord
ing to the United States Steel cor
poration's last annual report, nearly
81 100000 was expended upon the
plant during the year ending
December 81, 1910. Since then
the work has gone steadily on with
a force of from 400 to 500 men.
An official report of the work ac-
complished from July 1910, to the
