The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-09-12

State Forester Cox is coming in for
some criticism these days for the man.
ner in which he is said to have ham
died the forest fire situation. How
ever, could you or anyone done any
better than he? Take days run
in the woods and then think it over
can anyone prevent forest fires!
Can anyone do better than the State
Forester has done?
1t is big problem with us of the
North woods. And it is a vital one
as well, for many times human life
is at stake. The conditions are such
that an army of men cannot combat
it successfully. With every condition
ripe and ready for a confagration,
save when snow falls, one match that
is carelessly dropped can do an i'm
mense amount of damage. We believe
that the educational matter printed
in the newspapers and by the Forest
Service is doing much to eliminate
the menace. Today the people are
thinking. We who live here know
what forest fire is. We are also
teaching our visitors to be careful of
their camp fires. And they are res
ponding. So long as grass grows and
pine trees will burn, the forest fire
will be with us. We can never en-
tirely eliminate it until every foot of
soil is turned over by the pillow. But,
we can reduce its awfulness by using
eternal vigilance. 1t is a matter of
education, we believe. We must be-
gin with the children and keep the
forest fire propaganda constantly be-
fore everybody, is, seemingly our
only way out of it. We must think
before we strike the match under the
old coffee pot in the BURBERRY patch
in the woods. We must think after
lighting the pipe or cigaret that the
match unless surely extinguished will
start confagration as easily as it
did the old pipe. We must keep con-
stantly in our minds the Forestry
slogan-"One pine tree can make a
million matches-one match can burn
a million pine trees" Let that soak
into your head. Paste it on your
matchbox and gun barrel, fishing
tackle, in your hat, and wherever that
it may be readily seen. 1t is the
Safety First" thought of the woods
When the pines have gone, Min
nesota will have lost much of its
great charm. Wien the woods have
vanished, the tourist will also have
vanished. No woods, no deer OF
moose.
Acres of type are set each year
warning the people of the dangers OF

forest fires. And still the fires go on.
No human hand can stay the calamity
it seems. State Forester Cox will, no
doubt, listen to anyone who has a
better method for reducing the fire
losses than what he has. He is doing
all that human hands can do. 1t is
up to each of us individually to help
him to reduce these losses by fire.
Each one of US should become unit
of the whole and by precept and ex-
ample become great Fire Depart
ment in the North woods and thus
save for ourselves and to succeeding
generations the beauties of the forests
on all sids of us.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-09-12

While no great building enterprises
have been going on in Ely this season,
much has been done in the way Of re-
pairs and general overhauling. Many
homes have been raised and cement
easements placed. New shingles and
siding have gone on. Paint has been
spread and on the whole the city has
been taking on a cleaner, look-alive
appearance. A killing frost has not
arrived at this writing and the sweet
peas in the open are as brilliant as
at any time during the summer. The
hundreds of gardens have ripened
naturally and the "eats" will be plen-
tiful this winter in Ely. The city has
many neat and tasty homes within
its limits. A stranger might COM
ment on the sad look in many of our
lawn fences. And also ask why is a
fence in a city Of this size and push.
These old fences, and some Of the old
buildings are eyesores and should
be razed. They make US to look un-
progressive and which We are not.

than ShOles, the Father of the Type
writer was born in Pennsylvania.
While serving as collector of customs,
he became interested with two other
inventors in the problem of making a
machine that would write letters and
words. A letter written on one of the
early machines attracted the attention
of capitalist, who provided funds,
and, Mr.. ShOles continued improving
the model until at last the first prac-

PRODUCTION Of s
ORE IN 1918
REPORT SHOWING INCREASE IN
QUANTITY AND VALUE IN
MINE PRODUCTS.

The Department of the Interior has
just issued preliminary report on
the mineral production of the United
States in 1918 for the purpose of ma
king public as soon as possible the
statistics collected by the U. S. geo.
logical survey for that year. The
statistics given for most commodities
are final; those for few are only es-
Inmates based on incomplete returns !;
but on the whole the report gives a
fairly complete record of the mineral
output of the country during the
year.
The total value of the minerals
produced was about SIS, 526, 900, 900,
more than half billion dollars in ex-
cess of the value recorded for 1917,
but the total quantity produced was
less. The output of fuels was great
er than in 1917, though somewhat less
anthracite coal was marketed. The
increase in the quantity of coal mar
keted was about per cent, but the
increase in value, due to higher prices
was more than IT per cent. 1t is sig
nificant that though the increase in
the quantity of petroleum marketed
was only little more than per
cent the increase in value was over
1872 per cent.
The value of the metals produced
was about 3 per cent greater in 1918
than in 1917. The figures show that
less iron ore and steel were produced,
but here again values were higher.
A little more pig iron was made,
though the quantity shipped was less.
Copper and zinc not only in them
selves but as the components of brass
are perhaps next in Importance to
iron in the worlds industry today
and in 1913 they stood high on the
list of war metals. A little more cop
per but less zinc was produced, and
the values of both were lower, that
of zinc falling about 25 per cent.
The output of the war metals man.
ganese and chromite, used in hard
ening steel, was greater than in any
preceding year. Chromite increased
SO per cent in quantity and 275 per
cent in value over 1917, and the in
creases in manganese ore were 1876
and 100 per cent respectively. Less
gold and silver were mined than for
many years. Though the price of
silver arose from 81 cents an ounce
in 1917 nearly to 81 cents in 1918,
the increase was not enough to cover
the increased cost of mining.
The output of building material
clay products, building stone, cement,
lime, gypsum-showed great de-
cline.
The domestic production Of potash
in 1918 was $4,000 tons, an increase
of 68 per cent over the output in
1917.

tanned by application to the director,

way: when passage to Cathay (the

Perhaps now after taking SO many
prizes at the State Fair, st. Louis
county will be recognized as quite a
distance already yet from the thing
Peary found, and that we can raise
farm products equal to any county
in the state and then some. The mat
ter of latitude is no criterion to judge
a country by. From now on there
should be much inquiry about land
values in this county coming from
states farther south where land is
valued at several hundred dollars an
acre.
