DULUTH WAS hit HARDEST
Seasons Shipments From That
Port Shows Largest Decrease
In Lake Superior District

With the last Of the ore shipped
from the Marquette and Escanaba
docks, the figures for the seasons
movements in iron ore were made
available this week. The total
shipments were but 29,871,911
tons, as compared with IS, 58O,481
tons during the 1910 season, a de-
crease of 8,708,57O tons.
Superior was the only port to
make any gain. Shipments from
the Great Northern and 500 Line
docks amounted to 1892, 100 tons,
while last year the amount of ore
forwarded was 8,437 ,261 tons. The
500 Line dock on St. Louis bay
was built since the 1910 season,
but the shipments from this dock
were only 147, 300 tons.
The figures showed, as we ex-
pected, how the Steel corporation
pushed mining operations on the
Hill leases during the year while
reducing operations on it's other
properties. The Iron Trade Re-
view, says: 1T is known that the
Hull-Rust mine, corporation prop
