 In Bulletin No. sssV of the United States government surveys. Ernest T Burchard declares that ore in the Lake and Mesaba district cannot last much beyond 1880" In view of this imminent exhaustion of the present leading supply points. the eyes of the steel makers will necessarily be alert for the means of sustaining the in dustry. and the importance as well as value of these great last-rema ming ores in the Southwest will be en- hanced with great rapidity. as the ex- pansion of western demand leads the manufacturing development of the Coast markets
