MINING MATTERS

Untitled tonnage of the U. S

totaled 4,912,901 tons. This in.
dicates an increase of 114,472 tons
as compared with the total on Jan
81. This as compared with increase
of $4,000 tons during January
Decrease is explained in part by
heavier deliveries in February
Average daily shipments were larger
in February than in January.

the activities of Pickands, Mather
& Co., of Cleveland, was recorded
the past week when the company
took over the Newport iron mine at
