Sixty Million Tons of Iron Ore.


 The iron ore mined in the United States in 1918, exclusive of that con- tainlng per cent. or more of manga nese. is estimated to have amounted to 60,466. 900 gross tons, decrease of 13 per cent as compared with 1918. The shipments of ore from the mines in 1919 are estimated at 5s,51e 900 gross tons, valued at Sze3.274. .00e. a decrease in quantity of nearly 17 per cent. as compared with 1918. The average selling value of the ore per gross ton at the mines for the whole United States in 1919 was $3.s0; in 1918 it was t339. The stocks or iron ore at the mines, mainly In Michigan and Minnesota. apparently increased from S.471. .507 gross tons in 1918 to 12,9e6, 900 tons in 1919, or 5s per cent.
 To obtain these statistics prelimin- ary figures received from producers of nearly 97 per cent of the normal out put of iron ore were compiled by Hu- bert W. Davis, of the United States geological survey department of the i interior, and were supplemented by estimates covering the remainder of the output. c
 Although the iron mining industry itself experienced little labor troublt l during 1919, production and shipments were hindered by the closing down O, fblast furnaces brought about by the steel and coal strikes. Shipments al upper lake ports were also delayed fo' a short time on account of the strik, of ore handlers.
 | The results of the estimate are sui ficiently complete to show totals fol the principal iroh-ore producing states and by grouping together certain o these states the totals for the LAkl Superior district and for certain othe geographic units are obtained.

ADVISES SELF RELIANCE
 BUT NOT OVER CONFIDENCE

The virtue of self-reliance was the | subject of the sermon delivered Sun | day evening at St. Patricks church | by Father Colmari, of the Order of Passionists of Boston. This was the final Sunday evening service of the present Lenten season. A feature of the musical part of the service, which was excellently carried out under the direction of Prof. F. l.. Farrell. or ganist was a solo, The Palms, by Charles B. Dyer. of Sachern street, who has recently returned from Europe.
 Speaking from the denial of Christ by St. Peter, the preacher said that St. Peter was in reality a noble char acter. The more we read about st. Peter the mora we love him When St. Peter said he would rather die than deny Jesus Christ he meant it. The trouble was he had too much confidence in hinseir. If he had not been over confident he would have realized that Jesus speaking to him 1 was the voice of God and that Jeeus Knew what was to happen when he said, This night shalt thou deny Me I thrice"
 l St. Peters over confidence made him 1 forget that it was God, looking into the future. who was warming him. He | was over confident in himself and be- cause he was over confident he did not
 seek help from God. When temptation came he fell. He turned his back on Jesus Christ and declared he did not ! know Him. What a solid lesson for each one of usl TO think this great
 apostle would fall so low through over

 trying to be good; I can't be good, They are having the same experienc that St. Peter sad. You are fallin
