State Lands Are Sold.

A prophecy that Minnesota state
mines would have the biggest shipping
year in their history during 1916, which
will open as soon as the ice clears out
of the Great Lakes, has been made
by F. A. Wildes of Hibbing, state mine
inspector. During 1915 the state mines
shipped 100000 tons of ore, which is
100000 tons less than was shipped in
1913, the banner year. Mr.. Wildes
forecasts that the shipments for 1916
will be at least 100000 tons He said
that the European war has created a
big demand for iron ore.
