close of 1910 there was 9,40S ,235 long
tons of iron ore in stock at the mines
in the United States, and that of this
total SAIL los long tons was at the
mines in the Lake Superior district.
Just how heavily this surplus stock of
ore was drawn upon in 1911 it is i'm
possible to state at present, but ow-
ing to the increased activity in the man
ufacture of pig iron toward the close Of
1917 it is probable that the 1910 sur
plus was in part cleaned up and that
at the end Of l0ll only relatively
small quantity of iron ore remained at
the mines.

The production of iron ore in Tennes-
see and Virginia apparently decreased
only about is per cent. according to
reports from the principal producers in
those states.
As the production of pig iron for 1911

IRON ORE IN 1911,
Estimated Production According to the
United States Geological Survey.


Preliminary estimates OF iron ore sold
! in 1911 were sent to the geological sur
vey by 26 of the largest iron mining
! companies in the United States at the
close of the wear. The combined output
OF these companies represents more than
so per cent. of the total production OF
| the United States From these returns
il is estimated by f. F. Burchard, OF
the survey. that the total quantity OF
iron ore marketed in the United States
in 1911, not including stocks left at the
mines, was between 100000 and 40
100000 long tons. This quantity rep
resents decrease of % to "a per cent.
of the sales for 1910. which aggregated
SIS ,SS9,734 long tons. The output for
1910 was the largest quantity of iron
ore ever marketed in single year in
the United States. and according to the
present estimate the quantity produced
in the wear 1917 will take fifth place,
being exceeded by that of 1910, 1907.
1900. and 1906 in the order named. II
Is estimated that Of the ore produced
in 1911, between 39250000 and 10000
900 long tons was red hematite, the
remainder consisting of brown hematite,
magnetic, and iron carbonate ores. Ac-
cording to the returns received the Lake
Superior district, in Minnesota, Michi-
gan. andWisconsin. apparently produced
between 33.000000 and 3j,000000 long
tons of red and specular hematite, which
represents decrease of % to % per
cent. compared with the production of
1910 4632s.743 long tons.

KILLS CATARRH GERMS
Antiseptic Healing Treatment That
Quickly Cures at Trifling Cost.

Catarrh is now known to be caused by
disease germs and il may be cured only
by an antiseptie treatment that will kill
the catarrh germs and soothe and heal
the irritated mucous membrane.
Nothing else combines the soothing and
antseptic powers in as perfect a degree
as Mentholatum. Apply little of this
in the nasal passages on going to bed
and it cures while You sleep. Then APP
ply again in the morning and its curative
and healing effect acts all day long.
A jar of Mentholatum costs only a
trife. p cents, and is sold by druggists
everywhere under guarantee of money
back if it fails to do all that is claimed
for it. II is wonderful household
remedy and is good for all Inflammation,
soreness, aches and pains.

Struggle to a pizzy Alpine Height.

TO venture where Others fear to tread
was the task one of Lyman H. Howe's
camera men faced in a recent expedition
TO nntrodden Alpine peaks. 1t was a
dangerous undertaking and one that had
hitherto never been attempted but that
is Just the reason why this particular
photographer wanted to 'get there" ey
there is meant the dizzy height of an
Alpine summit, from which he knew he
could photograph scenes Of grandeur that
would surpass any OF a similar kind
ever produced by a camera. In a sense
the task seemed fascinating because the
photographer felt the call of the
heights" and his adventurous spirit
blinded him to the many dangers which
