MINING MATTERS

Among the extensive improve
Soudan mine of the Oliver Iron Min
ing Co., at Tower is ney stock
pile restle. Steel will replace
timber for this purpose.
Of the iron ore shipped from
Lake Superior by boat during the
season of navigation the Oliver Iron
Mining Company shipped 27,411,-
351 gross tons and the Independ-
ents shipped total of 31,625, 1853
tons. This makes the grand total
of lake shipments for the season of
1928, 59,036,704 gross tons, as re-
ported by the Lake Superior Iron
Ore Association at the end of the
period this year. These figures do
not include 612,425 tons shipped all
rail to final destination by the
Oliver.
The particular interest which
seems to attach to this information
is the fact that once more is refut-
ed the false report which has been
disseminated for years, that the
Steel Corporation has monopoly of
the iron ore industry of Lake Sup
erior. The news this year would
otherwise call for no special COM
ment.
1t has been asserted time and
again, in congress and in the legis-
latures of the states bordering on
Lake Superior, that the Steel Cor
poration enjoys a monopoly of the
iron ore of this great district, and
this was supposed to afford sound
reasoning for radical lawmakers
for putting over tonnage taxes and
| other unjust legislation. The law
| makers appeared to feel that as
long as they were handing some
| thing hard to take to the Steel
| Corporation that their constituents
would applaud. In order to escape
the criticism which might come from
imposing hardship on independent
operators, such measures were an
nounced as being directed against
the leading individual interests ir
the iron and steel business, just a:
if the unjust burden would not
affect the small operator in the same
proportion as the bigger one.
The proportion of ore shipped by
the Oliver Iron Company this sea
son for the Steel Corporation bear.

ore movement as usual. The tota
