BABBITT PLANT
TAKING SHAPE.
TONNAGE PER MAN TO BE
HIGH-LABOR SAVING
MACHINERY EVERY
WHERE.

The work of construction and
installation of machinery at the
plant of the Mesabi Iron Company,
at Rabbit, is progressing with re-
duced force, for the company has
plenty of time in which to complete
it and be prepared to meet de-
mands for its product with the re-
turn of normal conditions to the
iron and steel industry, says Skill
lings' Mining Review. The plant,
which is the first unit of an ulti-
mately very much larger plant, is
now IS per cent completed.
The enterprise at Rabbit is now
quite widely known and understood.
This plant. is to mark the beginning
of big things commercially in the
low grade iron ores of the Eastern
Mesabi range, in the magnetic
area, where vast tonnages of the
material await the process to make
them commercially attractive and
available
The first unit of the Mesabi Iron
Company's plant, which now APP
proaches completion, will have
capacity to treat 5000 tons of
crude material daily, which will
produce from 900 to 1000 tons
of sinter, which is the finished pro-
duct of the plant The feature of
the plant is the fact that it is the
last word in the labor saving oper-
alton. Everything is to be done
by machinery and power. From
every prospect there will be fine
showing made of tons of sinter
produced per man employed.
1t is expected that this first unit
will be operated from quarry to the
finished product with about $50
men. Somebody once remarked to
Mr.. Swart, the vice president and
general manager of the Mesabi
Iron Co.: This plant ought to
support a large town here" To
this Mr.. Swart replied: eff it does
then this plant is not going to be
what we expect of it. A single
unit, at least. is not expected to
support large community, but on
the contrary, it is expected that it
will take numerous units to support
what we may consider large COM
munity on the range,
All of the machinery for the
plant at Babbitt has been delivered,
and virtually all of it has been in
stalled.
Inc cruSher plant was turned
over recently and operated with
satisfaction. The crusher plant is:
a tremendous installation. 1t oc-
cupies pit los feet in depth, cut
in the solid rock. The primary
crusher alone weighs 100000
pounds. The crushed material
moves by gravity until it finally
is delivered to a 42-inch conveyor
belt which transfers it to the mill,
and the material throughout the
entire treatment is designed to
move automatically either through
force of gravity or by power fur
nished by 5000 K. W. plant.
The iron and steel industry is
recognizing the fact that, not only
is the demand for merchantable
ore going to continue to increase,
but that the reserves of direct ship
ping ores are being depleted. 1t
is rare thing these days to hear
the discovery of new high grade
iron mine. The necessity of draw
ing upon the low grade ores has
been fully recognized, both on the
Western and the Eastern Mesabi.

Ely Trims Aurora.

The Aurora High School football
boys were no difficult match for the
Ely High School team ON the local
grounds in the game Saturday. At
that our boys did not run away
with the score to any alarming ex-
tent but were kept quite busy.
Aurora failed to score while Ely
annexed one touchdown and kick
scoring six. Bottiani was the star
for Ely.
Saturday the Ely team goes up
against the Virginia boys at Vir-
ginia and it is expected that play
ing will needs be done by our boys
to keep up to the Virginia team
which is touted as being exception
ally strong.

decided it is time to travel in the
direction of southerly chimes and
is now leisurely following such a
course in the heavens.
The crossing of the equator by
the sun took place at 500 o'clock
standard time Friday. Equal day
and night will be the result of this
event.
The equinox does not bring
storms, although there is such a
belief more or less prevalent The
weather records, which HI. w. Rich
ardson, United States local fore
caster, has looked up, covering a
period of thirty-two years, show
that on an average no more storms
occur on the day of the equinox
than other days shortly before and
after. There is in this country a
gradual increase of stormyweather
during the fall months coincident
with the suns movements south
ward but the crossing of the
equator has, in itself, no effect.

.oFFIcER. DO YOUR DUTYr'

If officials are unable to To-
cate violators of the automobile
license law, they should shift
their position to the streets
where old tags and cars with
no tags at all appear daily.
By night they can easily gobble
the bright light fan, the guy
with one light and no lights at
all. If anyone expects these
birds to walk into court and
offer themselves up they have
a wild Imagination. There is
no surer way in the world to
encourage general disrespect
for law than to permit a few
ginks to "get by" with viola
tions just because they have
thes nerve to do it.-St. James

Injunction Asked.

]: Beverly Jones, attorney re-
tanned with c. E. Adams to protect
the rights of residents of Burnt
side Lake shore property, have
asked for injunction to enjoin the
City of Ely from further molesting
the dam on Burnside river which
was dynamited some time ago in
the interest of the water supply,
and to compel the City to rebuild
the dam. The attorneys are acting
for ten or more property owners
who are bringing the suit. They
claim that the opening of the dam
has lowered the water in BURNSIDE

NO GENERAL
REvNuE TAX.
STATE AUDITOR ANNOUNCES
NO GENERAL STATE
REVENUE TAX.

This year, for the first time in
it's sixty-three years of statehood,
Minnesota will omit the regular
annual infection of a tax for gen.
eral revenue purposes.
Announcement of the suspension
of the tax was made Monday by
r. P. Chase, State Auditor, COIN
cident with the certifcation of the
1921 State Tax Levy to the. various
county auditors. The Levy is on
the valuation of the present year
and is collectable in 1922.
The state tax rate for 1921,
based wholly on statutory require
ments, and over which the state
auditor has no control whatever, is
4.23 mills, as against 81 mills, the
figure in 1919 and SAP mills the
rate for 1920. Practically it is a
cut of nearly one half the 1919
tax levy in recent years.
To what extent the taxpayers of
Minnesota will profit from the tenn
porary abandonment of the tax for
general revenue purposes as an
nounced by Mr.. Chase can be best
judged from the fact that the in
Fiction of the revenue tax realized
the state $4,086, 535.68 in 1917,
$1,781 ,991.14 in 1918, $6,236,907.-
so in 1919 and $1,667, 419.42 in
1920. The tax is for the general
running expenses of the state and
it's various departments, such as,
penal, charitable and educational
institutions, special aid to the pub
lie schools and other state activities.
Out of the revenue derived from
this tax is paid salaries, bills for
supplies and the numerous expen-
ses necessary in the proper conduct
and maintenance of the state gov
eminent.
The rate of taxation for specific
purposes and which as stated are
wholly statutory are as follows:

TUBERCULOSIS CAM
 PAIGNS IN SIX COUNTIES,

Six counties have completed countrywide testing campaigns to eradicate tuberculosis, and several others are now doing similar work, according to vet erinarians of the United States Department of Agriculture The counties having tested the animals in every herd are :: Barron County, Wis; Clay County, Miss; Hinds County, Miss; Clatsop County, Greg; Island County, Wash; and Gal latin County, Mont Cattle in the District of Columbia have also been tuberculin test ed annually for number of years.
 Countrywide testing g-called area work by the department veterinarians-is regarded by them as one of the most effec- tive ways of controlling tuber- culosis. Herds from which reactorS are removed are re- tested from time to time~to make certain that the disease Is entirely eradicated.
