H. J. Webster, former Duluth
boy but now of Billings Mont.
was in the city Tuesday and enter
ed into contract with the Enter
tainment Committee of the Tourna-
ment and Home Coming for flights
on July %, "a and rs. Mr.. Web
ster came to Ely at the request OF
the committee to look over the
grounds before entering into con-
tract so as to preclude the posi-
bility of any hitch in the proceed
ings on the dates on account OF
poor grounds and other unforeseen
obstacles.
He decided that successful
flights can be made under favor
able weather conditions and picked
the base ball park as the starting
and landing place. A few altera-
tions is all that will be necessary.
The fence will be taken down on
the west side of the grounds for a
distance and some large rocks and
a few stumps removed.
The committee considers itself
fortunate in having secured the
services of Mr.. Webster as he is
considered one of the best aviators
in the country and besides he is
we'll known in this section of the
country having made his home in
Duluth for several years.

Ore Shipments Light

Two Harbors ore shipments
during May were trife over one
half of those of May last year.
At the present time the ore is NOV
ing somewhat more freely than it
did in May, although the vessels
belonging to the shippers are not
all in commission. 1t is expected
that the shipments will increase
considerably before the season is
much farther advanced. At the
present on an average of about
twenty-five crews are busy on the
Iron Range road hauling ore to
Two Harbors.

was exceedingly generous to Min
nesota when distributing her favors.
She gave the state one of the finest
harbors in her gift, in which is
tonnage second only to that of New
York. Situated upon this harbor
is the lively and industriously
throbbing mart of Duluth. Du-
luth, with the iron ore right at its
back door, so to say, has become
the natural point for the establish
mept of an iron and steel industry.
In times gone by it has seemed bet
ter economy to ship the raw, pro-
duct to the furnaces which were
established in the east. but views
in this particular have changed;
for the past decade has seen the
tremendous development of mar
ket for finished steel produts in the
great and pulsating west, to say
nothing of the objection to paying
freight on the useless elements in
the ore from the mines to the fur
naces and the return charges on
finished product. A great twenty
million dollar plant has been erect
ed at Duluth and is now very near
completion. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that in 1915 operations will
begin. This plant, with accessory
by-products manufacture, will at
the very start employ not less than
four thousand people. not to say
anything of industries which will
be attracted by the great steel
plant, affording employment to adj
ditional thousands of workers.
And thus one might mention
numerous other advantages that
accrue to the state owing to the
location of the great iron mines
the greatest in the world-within
her confines; how the great value
of ore deposits yields an immense
tax revenus to the state at large,
and to the municipalities situated
in the mining belt in particular;
how, further, the gross earnings
tax of the ore-carrying roads yields
over one million dollars annually to
the Golfers of the state treasury.
Again, how of the one hundred and
fifty producing iron miEes of the
three ranges, namely, the Mesaba.
the Vermilion and Guyana, about
one-sixth in number. although
only about one-tenth in tonnage,
belong to the people of Minnesota
themselves.
These latter mines are leased
only and yield royalty of twenty
five cents per ton on all ore mined,
which royalty in the main flows
into the great permanent school
fund of the state which at present
amounts to $50, 29o,1 1o, school
fund unequaled by that of any
other state, and which is bound to
grow much larger, in a large
measure owing to these mines.
The known tonnage of ore on state
mines alone amounts to one hun
dred and forty million tons, which
means a certainty of thirty-fve
million dollars royalty within the
next thirty years, the average
length and leases still have to run.
And State Auditor Samuel G.
Iverson predicts that eventually
our school and other trust funds
will reach the two hundred million
dollar mark.
Surely, persons looking for pro-
ftable land investments can not go
astray in acquiring title to some of
Minnesota's acres. With all her
natural resources, her rich soil,
ample moisture, sure crops, no
section of our country offers greater
and more substantial investments.

Production Of Ore in This State Last Year More Than all Other
States Combined.

The appended interesting article
on the iron ore output and reserves
of Minnesota was prepared by J..
P. Funk, of the mineral depart
ment of the state auditors office:
Many people, were you to ask
them which state in the Union pro-
duced the greatest amount of iron
ore annually, would answer, prob
ably, hesitatingly, Pennsylvania.
This no doubt comes from the fact
that the Pittsburg district for so
long period has held sway as the
iron center, not ora of the United
States but of the western continent,
and at present far outstrips its
European rivals in Importance.
Here it was that American iron
mines were first extensively de-
veloped, and hence it is easy for
the Individual who has taken only
an Indifferent interest in the status
of the iron industry of our country,
to associate Pennsylvania with it.
But what are the facts? Let
every loyal Minnesotan take notice.
The latest report issued by the
United States geological survey
shows that in 1912, twenty-eight
states in the Union produced iron
ore; that the total production of
that year was 5,150,14 tons, of
which huge aggregate output
Pennsylvania contribution was
only 517 ,O81 tons; in other words,
was only "a of one per cent of the
total.
Now, what was Minnesota S
position in this respect compared
with Sister states? The report sets
forth that of 55,150,147 tons pro-
duced, Minnesota's contribution
was "a, 431, 768; that is to say, she
furnished the great iron and steel
furnaces of this country with 62.43
per cent of the raw material-more
than all the other twenty-seven
states combined
That certainly is an accomplish
ment in industrial lines of no mean
dimensions, and Minnesotans may
well be proud of the performance.
Her nearest competitor was Mich
igan, with 11,so1,43O tons and
Alabama, New York. Wisconsin
and Pennsylvania follow in order.
Further, steel masters at Pitts
burg tell ms that about eighty-fve
per cent of all the ore sheltered
in their furnaces comes from the
Minnesota ranges, and when one
consideres that their finished pro-
ducts go to the ends of the world,
it is f1attering to a Minnesotan S
pride to know that product from
his state, although transformed, is
made so generally to do service to
mankind.
To the intending settler or land
purchaser Minnesota iron indus
try has much significance. If to
the number actually employed in
the mines those connected with the
ore-carrying railroads, ore docks,
general offices, exploration work,
etc., be added it will be found that
probably not less than twenty-five
thousand persons are directly or
indirectly dependent upon them for
their livelihood. The toilers in
this mammoth industry are not
direct food producers, and, living
in state nearly half of whose pop
ulation is engaged in agricultural
pursuits, the mutual benefits from
this diversity of effort, to miner
and to agricultufalist and, for that
matter to all citizens whatever
their vacations, are obvious.
But the end is not yet. Nature
