BIG IRON YIELD
 IS EXPECTED IN
 GREAT LAKES AREA

DULUTH, Minn., April 3..Ac- tivity of ore producing mines in the Lake Superior district is considered as evidence of the prediction made by operators that 55,000,000 tons of iron ore will be shipped from the district this year, an estimate just 5,00O,000 tons short of the record, and more than 10,000.000 tons higher than the tonnage handled last year.
 Railroads are ordering new equip ment; day and night shifts of work CTS are repairing cars and docks; underground mines are working full shifts to increase their stockpiles, and on the open pit properties great chasms are being opened to make way for the removal of the min eral.
 Encouraging reports have been received from Great Lakes shipping g points regarding prospects for an early opening of navigation. Ice conditions are reported especially good at the head of the lakes and on western Lake Superior. The late February thaw loosened the thick ice foes and they have been pretty well broken up, mariners declare.
 Vessel concerns report that their fleets are being made ready to sail from winter quarters just as soon as ice conditions permit

U. s. TO RENEW SEATTLE-S|TkA
 CABLE IN 1924

Laying of a new cable to replace certain wornJout sections of the All askan cable between Seattle and Sitka is planned by the signal corps in May, Juno and July of 1924, Sen ator Wesley Jones of Washington was advised by Lieut. Col. $. E. Kane of the cable division of the signal corps, says a recent Associated Press dispatch
 A recent congressional appropria- tian authorized approximately 1000 miles of new cable on this stretch, The signal corps plans to make 1t the most up-to-date cable line of the whole American system.
 Major General Squire, head of the signal corps. is actively at work with problems of transmission which are expected to change old standards which have been in vogue without much improvement since the earliest days of submarine cable telegraphy.
 By hurrying construction it would be possible for the manufacturers to have the cable ready for delivery in tho fall, Lieutenant Colonel Kane said. but transporting and laying 1t would push the work into the winter storm season. The signal corps be- lieves it would be better to wait un- til next spring
 1t is planned to load the cable aboard the new cable ship Delwood, recently completed on the Pacific Coast, which would proceed to the Atlantic Coast to receive 1t, and transport it to Seattle, where the laying would start. The Qelwood has carrying capacity of 1000 miles of cable, so that the entire cable could be transported at one load. The cable ship Burnside was able to carry only 325 niles of cable, which would have made three trips necessary.
 In planning the new cable the signal corps lis giving attention to the future growth in Alaska and to othor Pacific Coast needs, with the idea that the Seattle iSitka link WEI be capable of meeting amy likely flu ture requirements. 1t is planned te make it capable of becoming a link
 in poss ble future extensions, such as from S,tka to Dutch 'Harbor and fur thor across tho Pacific.
 Lieutenant Colonel Kane estimates that an entire transpacific system, including terminals i'm Yokohama Shanghai and Manila could be in stalled at cost of between eight ant ten million dollars.
