Burntside Lodge Closed.

BURNSIDE Lodge, which has en-
Joyed the most successful season
in its history, has been closed for
the season, the proprietors, Messrs.
w. A. and L. S. Alden, leaving
for their homes in Minneapolis for
the winter. A caretaker is being
maintained at the Lodge and logs
and material are being put on the
grounds for several improvements
early in the spring. A number of
the log cottages will be construct
ed and a large building, 80 by 80,
will be built to be used as an
office and sitting room. Changes
will also be made in the hotel
rooms and the dining room.
In speaking with the manager
just before his departure. for Min
neapolis, he informed the Miner
that 100 people had registered
as guests during the past season
and that as many more had visit
ed the Lodge for meals and on
sightseeing trips. More, room is
needed and it is the intention to
supply this need before the open
ing of the season next spring.
White Iron Beach reported 1900
guests for the season and as many
more visitors who were not guests.
White Iron also proved a popular
resort the past season and arrange
ments here will also be made to
accommodate many more next sea
son.
Camp Van Vac will also make
improvements and care for many
more people the coming season.
With the opening Of the Ely
Isabella road next year, it is ex-
pected that the tourist travel in
this direction will be- something
enormous. The travel the past
season had increased by over 100
per cent over the year. before and
camping parties and cars were
noticeable all along the roads and
on the lake shores.
Another factor which will fur
Their augment the large travel en-
joyed this year in this section will
be the improving of the roads,
trails and outing facilities of the
Superior National Forest. II. an
other place will be found story

the "a e, ment for Forest roads
rails Before the tourist sea
4 opens we expect to have some

Does Il Paw?

AS the Fourteenth Annual Sale
of Christmas Seals is about to
start, this question is put squarcly
up to the people of the State by
Officials of the Minnesota Public
Health Association.
In the United States, as a whole,
la out of every 100000 people
died of tuberculosis in 1920, while
in the State of Minnesota 90 people
out of every 100000 died of
tuberculosis, which goes to show
that the work against this disease
in Minnesota is bearing fruit.
If we stop to consider the enor-
nous amount of money that has
been spent for so called consump-
ton cures (which of course never
cured) how much better off are
the people in Minnesota when they
buy a few Seals to aid the Min
nesota Public Health Association
and the County Public Health As
sociations to teach the people how
tuberculosis and other preventable
diseases can be prevented and

FOREST ROADS
GET MONEY.
PRESIDENT SIGNS BILL WHICH
GIVES forest BADLY
NEEDED FUNDS.

"The signing by the President
of the Federal Highway Act, APP
propriating $15,000,000' for. forest
roads and trails, marks an impor-
tant step toward the development
of the great resources of our
National Forests" states Col. w.
B. Greeley, Chief of the Forest
Service, United States Department
of Agriculture. "The bill provides
$5,000,000 for immediate expendit-
ures and makes an additional $10,-
100000 available on July 1, 1922.
This money will be. used in extend
ing the present inadequate road
and trial system of the National
J Forests, the development of which
is so vital to the effective pro-
lection and utilization of their
valuable natural resources"
The act appropriates $4,000, 900
for Forest roads of primary i'm
portance to the States, counties or
communities within, adjoining, or
adjacent to the National Forests.
Of this amount, $2,500,000 is
made Immediately available for
apportionment based on the area
and value of the land owned by
the Government within the Nation
al Forests.
The distribution gives the State
of Minnesota $15,777 to be ex-
pended on the Superior and Min.
nesota Forests.
A provisional superintendent of
the $7,000,000 additional for roads
of primary Importance to public
travel will be made by the Secre-
tary about January /.
! The appropriation for the, con-
struction or maintenance of roads
and trails of primary Importance
for the development and protec-
ton of the National Forests is
$5,50O,O00, of which $4,000, 900
is Immediately available. The act
prescribes no mathematical appor-
tionment of til IS m o unit t, b u
states that it shall be according
to the relative needs of the vari
Gus National Forests, taking into
consideration the existing transpor-
tation facilities, value of timber,
or other resources served, relative
fire danger, and comparative diff
Guilty of road and trail construc-
ton. The apportionment of funds
allotted under this section of the
bill will be made by the Secretary
in the near future.
One new feature of the bill is
that the cooperation of Territories,
States, and civil subdivisions there
of is not made requisite, as in
J previous acts, in the expenditure
of appropriations for National For
est roads The law, however, per
mits the Secretary of Agriculture
to receive cooperation, and Forest
Service officials believe t.,t un-
doubtedly considerable o. will
be offered, thereby ting
forest road construction.
/ while the mo eys re, r.
der the Federal ighway Act ll
provide funds fc rlmeoiate AL
much needed development of lines
Of communication in the National
Forests" states Col. Greeley, ga
recent study made by the Forest
Service shows that over $4,000
miles of Forest roads, estimated
to cost $77,000,000, are necessary
to complete the various State and
county highway systems within OF
adjacent to the Forests. Also, TO,
roads and trails of primary i'm.
portance for the protection and
use of the National Forests, some
10000 miles Of trails and over
$4,000 miles of roads will ultimate
/ ly have to be constructed at 8
cost of more than $4,000, 00O."

mer awarded a contract to Charles
Magnuson of Duluth to build the
grade for the branch line, which
is A " miles in length, and he has
just been awarded further con.
tract to lay the ties and steel this
winter, and to do the ballasting
next spring.
The contract was awarded by F.
w. Farnsworth of Cincinnati, pres.
ident of the Chippewa Iron Mining
Co., who has been in Duluth and
on the range several days this
week. Mr.. Farnsworth was accom-.
panied by X. F. Williams, vice
president of the Chippewa Iron
Mining Co., of Cincinnati, and
George L. Fairbank of Cleveland
of FairbaAk & Co. of that city
sales agents for the mining com
pany. Accompanied by H. E. Wal
bank, superintendent of the min
ing company, they visited the Yer,
million range and walked over the
right of way, now in an advanced
stage of construction, and visited
and inspected the Armstrong Bay
iron mine.
The property, thus far is devel-
oped by adit, raises and WINE
shaft, and it is estimated by Mr..
Farnsworth that $4,000 tons of
ore is now blocked out. The mine
contains both hard and soft ore,
and the larger part of the tonnage
now available is of the latter
variety.
A headframe has been installed
OF fhn ,cfn Il
an order placed with the Lake
Shore Engine Works of Marquette
for the tram cars and cages.
The loaded tram cars will be
hoisted in the winze shaft in bal
anee, and run to stockpile, or for
delivery of the ore to cars.
The development program of the
Chippewa Iron Mining Co., calls
for the sinking of a 4-compart-
ment working shaft to develop ore
located at greater depth by
diamond drill. In the meantime
the company will put the mine in
the shipping list, in the spring of
1922.
The activity of the Chippewa
Iron Mining Co., through this long
period of depression, and the con-
fidence thus displayed by t h e
people back of the mining enter
prise, has been one of the out
standing constructive factors of
the Lake Superior region, and of
the Vermilion range in particular.
George L. Fairbank, in con-
versation regarding the outlook for
the iron and steel business, and re-
latad indu Stru cold tbof fharo
were many encouraging features.
He was convinced that recovery
would not be rapid, but that it
would be steady, and arrive upon
a very sound basis in due time,
and that business will be very
much improved in 1922.

The mines of the Vermilion iron
range finished the shipping season
the last week in October, and are
we'll along with the winters stock
piling program says Skilling's Min
ing Review. Shipments from the
range totaled S6S,000 tons, as
against 1907, 435 tons in 1920.
This figures &c per cent of last
years output, which may be said
to have been a normal year. The
percentage shows that the Yer
million contributed a much larger
quota of the total output of the
Lake Superior district than did the
other ranges, for the total of all
ranges will be less than 40 per
cent of normal The Vermilion
has always enjoyed the reputation
of being the steadiest of all dis
tricts and the past season has de-
monstrated that this reputation is
well deserved.
The winter season opens auspic-
uously, for the steam shovels were
active the past season, and the
Vermilion range stockpiles are for
the most part shipped out. There
is a comparatively small amount of
ore in stock on the range, which
promises well for a winter activity.
Increase Night Shift At Pioneer.
Announcement was made this
week that the Oliver Iron Mining
Co., at Ely, Mimi, would at once
put all men, who had been work
ing half time at the Sibley and
time at the Pioneer mine on the
81, rol
. will also be taken on for the night
shift. This does not mean that a
full night crew will be employed,
but there is possibility that more
men will be added later on. This
indicates return to normal con-
ditions, and is very welcome news.
The Pioneer mine has been all
fall working more men than any
other underground mine in the
state and the latest announcement
means still greater activity.
Oliver Vermilion Mines.
At Tower, the Soudan mine is as
active as usual Shipments for the
season totaled 77,074 tons, which
was less than in former years.
There was some ore left in stock
at the close of the shipping season.
This property, operated by the
Oliver Iron Mining Company, is
the oldest in Minnesota, and has
shipped steadily since 1884. 1t
is expected that a normal crew
will be employed at the Soudan
mine this coming winter.
At Ely the Oliver Iron Mining
Co., operates the Pioneer and Sib-
ley properties. The Pioneer shipped
5O9,392 tons the past season, an
increase of Is per cent over 1920.
The big stockpile at "a" Pioneer
was all cleaned up before naviga-
ton ended. This mine is notable
as being the largest underground
mine in the state, and it leads all
other shaft mines in production
and shipments in 1921, as it has
done for many years previous. The
total output OF this great property
has now reached 12,268,936 tons,
and it promises to have many years
of life ahead of it. Most of the
ore is hoistei through ga" shaft,
a vertical shaft, and mining is
active above the 18th and 18th
levels. A single shift only is be-
ing employed at present, but as
over 400 men are working, the
output is a large one. "B" shaft
on the south footwall, is a steel
lined 70 degree inclined shaft, and

per cent since 1910. The aggre-
gate value Of the cut is $1,209,-
100000 These are the highest
annual valuations ever recorded,
but do not indicate present con-
ditions. They merely reflect the
extremely high peak in the post
war lumber prices which was passed
i'm the first quarter Of 1920.
These are the principle statistics
obtained by the Forest Service, U.
S.. Department Of Agriculture, in
its 1920 canvass of American saw
mills. They are based upon re-
ports from 1878 active mills out
of 23,243 estimated to have been
in peratio Several thousand
mills cutting less than $4,000 feet
were not tabulated, though allow
ance was made for their cut. Com
parsons with 1919 are published
by permission Of the Bureau Of
the Census, U. s. Department Of
Commerce.
The tables show that the States
which increased their cut are all
in the Pacific Coast group and
the Rocky Mountains. Washington
is first, as usual. Oregon attains
second place for the first time, dis
placing Louisiana from a position
held for Is years, while California
takes rank among the first FIVE,
displacing another southern yellow
pine State.
In 1920 the Pacific and Rocky
Mountain groups of States, COM
bined, produced $3.50 per cent,
of the cut. The eight States Of
the southern pine group produced
"a per cent, while all Of the rest
of the United States produced 30.4
per cent.
The combined production Of
Douglas fir and western yellow
pine, which in 1919 was less than
go per cent of the amount Of
southern yellow pine cut, in 1920
became 83 per cent. This relative
/ increase in the western species
arises in part from the decrease in
southern pine production, which
amounted to Is per cent. The
conditions reported by southern
operators, arising directly or in
directly from the World Var, were
so adverse that the southern pine
may be expected to recover part
of the lost ground during the next
few years. But the indications OF
the statistics are that the suprefn-
acy in lumber production held By
the southern pine States has passed
the zenith and is moving faster
yearly to the West
Minnesota decreased its cut 1870.
per cent or from 699, 900, 900 in
1919 to 576,300,000 in 1920.
