The Mesaba range viii pass the half
billion notch next season, for total
shipments since beginning of mining
in that great iron ore district. AL
ready, to the close of the season, the
Mesaba ranges grand total is 1885,
782,S58 tons. No wonder the vet
eran steel maker, Joseph Butler of
the Briar Hill Company, declared
that the discovery of the Mesaba ex-
ercised great influence in the es-
tablishment of the iron and steel in
dustry on a sure basis in this country.
These figures are beyond imagination.
But it is reassuring to know that the
Mesaba, and the other ranges of the
Lake Superior district, are still strong
in ore reserves.
No person now living is liable to
live to see any of the Lake Superior
ranges actually exhausted. But the
rate at which ore is being drawn from
the Mesaba certainly gives food for
thought of the future of ore reserves.
The great bulk of the ore on that
range is mined by steam shovel meth
3D. When that range does begin to
decline sharply in production, there
will be great demands upon all the
other ranges. The Guyana is the
most promising of any of the Lake
Superior districts for providing large
tonnage economically because of the
shallow overburden in many in
stances making it practicable to strip
and operate with steam shovels.
Michigan and Wisconsin are ex-
pected to show additional areas of

der Saturday came after a public

tom of garbage at the dumps. the de-
lay Of taking garbage from the
dumps, the delay in removing scows

ance.
Should the receivers ignore the or
der OF the health department they
will notify the street cleaning depart
ment that the city should no longer

no more garbage will be sent there
for reduction. This will mean that Il

ment demonstrated that the doors
