iron Tor the non Bessemer standard.
Much Of TIE ore above 45 per cent and
below the standard can be utilized in
operation by mixing with grades above
the minimum. How much Of this
below standard ore will be available in
this way depends ON mining conditions
TO a large extent. Another calculation
bearing on the ors grade is available
On the basis OF the development up 10
the present year, an estimate of the
averave iron content Of the developed
ore analyzing over 80 per cent iron
natural shows an average iron content
OF about 53 per cent. The moisture
factor is about 10 per cent.
Some magnetic is found in the ore
bodies but this IL small in amount.
The magnetite bearing schists which
accompany the ore body extensively
are not nov OF commercial interest.
The highest grade ore has been found
generally nearest the erosion surface
aud the iron content decreases with
depth the limit of commercial ore
being about 200 feet on the South range
and from 800 10 450 feet on the North
range The deepest ore disclosed so

relatively low in alumina and does not

Considerable silica is found in all OF

The moisture content OF the Cuyuna

will be considerable factor in the iron
ore supply from now on. Data con.
cerning the grade Of the ore are OF

the records of the several developed
mines and from the data OF more than
20O0 drill holes for exploration and
testing Most of the ore so far devel-
oped in the Cuyuna district is non

reason to expect that the district will

Of this kind has been found on the

The Guyana ore is generally a

the North range. But little of the ore

Her Personal Plate.

A young girl who has great many
valuable small belongings and never
loses any of them, says that it Is
solely because OF her plan of marking
everything distinctly with her full
name and town and country address.
For her parasols and umbrellas she
has a set OF small silver plates OF OBJ
long shape and with screw equipped
ends, which are readily detached from
a handle and put upon another one.
Her golf sticks, tennis racquets. hand
luggage and the valuable collars which
her dogs wear are marked in the
same manner and on all OF her toilet
articles she has plate markings which
cannot be obliterated or easily
wrenched on.
The first cost Of these plates was
not very great, although all are of
solid silver, and they were accumu-
lated SO gradually that the money was
not missed from her allowance.
