LAKE SUPERIOR
ORE SHIPMENTS.
BESSEMER 15,O04,3O1 AND NON
BESSEMER 35,I7O,391
GROSS TONS.

Iron ore shipped by boat from the
Lake Superior district during the
season 1925 is summarized in a re-
port recently issued by the Lake
Superior Iron Ore Association, says
Skilling's Mining Review. Accord
ing to its figures a total of 53, $40,
502 gross tons Chill of lading
weights) of all grades was shipped
from this region by boat in 1925.
The largest tonnage shipped from
all the ranges was of non-bessemer
grade. A non-bessemer ore is an
ore that contains little phoSphorous,
an element that cannot be eliminat-
ed from the product in the bessemer
process of making steel. The upper
limit of PHOSPHORUS for an ore to
be made into steel by the bessemer
process is about 0.05 per cent.
Above this figure it is clasSed as a
non-bessemer ore. Non-bessemer ores
are subdivided into high-phos. and
low-phos. ores, depending on
whether their PHOSPHORUS content
runs above OILS per cent or below.
The average PHOSPHORUS content of
all low-phos. non-beSsemer Lake
Superior ores in 1924 was DOTS
per cent. For high-phos. non-bes-
semer ores it was 0.402 per cent.
The n9n-beSsemer grade was the
predominaaing grade shipped from
the Mesa3l, Menominee and Mar
quette ranges during the past sea-
son. 1t constituted 65 per cent of
the shipments from all the ranges;
6S.5 per cent of shipments from the
Mesabi range; AZ per cent from the
Gogebic; S4.5 per cent from the
Menominee; 35 per cent from the
Guyana; 1872 from the Marquette
and 8 per cent from the Vermilion
range dn 1925.
Vermilion Mostly Bessemer Grade.
Of all the Lake Superior iron
ranges the VIermilion range of Min
neSota leads in the proportion of
its total output classed as bessemer
grade. In 1925 about 90 per cent
of all the ore shipped from this
range was of that grade. Bes-
semer ore made up % per cent of
the total boat shipments from the
Lake Superior region. 1t constitut-
ed 1916 per cent of the shipments
from the Mesabi range; 43.6 per
cent from the Gogebic; GA per cent
from the Menominee and 4.3 per
cent from the Marquette range.
The Guyana produced no bessemer
ore.
However, the Guyana range ship
ped the largest tonnage of mangani-
ferrous ore in 1925, amounting to
903,494 gross tons and the largest
proportion of its total output was
manganifelous ore, 65 per cent APP
proximately. The Gogsbic range
followed in rank of actual output,
producing 863,325 gross tons of
manganifarous ore in 1925. Third
was the Menominee range with
315,991 gross tons and the Mesabi
was fourth with 72,250 gross tons.
The Marquette and Vermilion
ranges mined no manganiferous
ores.

containing over 2 per cent man
ganese. The use of such ores is in
creasing with improved furnace
practice. A total of 1,355,458 tons
of this grade was shipped in 1924.
Siliceous Ores from Marquette.
A siliceous iron ore is one con-
tanning over Is per cent silica. The
Marquette iron range of Michigan
supplied nearly 60 per cent of the
silicieous iron one shipped from the
Lake Superior region this past. sea-
son. And the bulk of this ore
came from two mines near Palmer,
the Richmond of The NJ A. Hanna
Co. and the Maitland mine operated
by the Maitland family.
Group Three Tonnages Biggest.
The largest tonnage of any one
grade shipped in 1925 was, as in
1924, Group Three ore of the Oliver
iron Mining Co. Shipments this
past year totaled 7,920,084 gross
tons of Group Three. In 1924 ship
ments of this group were 6,703,183
gross tons. The group is made up
of ore from the Burt, Canisteo,
Chester, Chisholm, Glen, Holman,
Hull-Rust, Kear, Miszabe Mountain,
Morris, Crdean, Sellers, Wanless
and Philbin mine. 1t is non-bes-
semer ore from the Mesabi range
mines of the company.
The Oliver Iron Mining Co. also
shipped the largest amount of any
one grade of bessemer ore, it's
Group Two, of which it shipped 81
756,295 gross tons in the season of
1925. This group is also made up
of ore from the company's Mesabi
range mines.
Milford Manganiferous.
On the Guyana range of Mime
sofa the Milford shipped 202,602
gross tons of one grade of mangani-
ferrous ore, the largest shipment of
a single grade made from this range.
The largest shipment of non-bes-
senlsr ore was made from the
Meacham, operated by Pickands,
Mather & Co. 1t amounted to 1885,
900 gross tons.
The Pioneer mine of the Oliver
Iron Mining Co. on the Vermilion
range was the largest shipper of
bessemer Gre from that range in the
past season, it's output totaling $780,
218 gross tons.
The Oliver shipped 889,941 gross
tons of its Nordale grade from the
Gogebic range of Michigan in 1925
This was the largest shipment of
any one grade made from that
range in the past season. The larg-
est shipment of a. non-bessemer
grade from this range was made of
Ironton non-bessemer from the
Ironton mine of The Mckinney
Steel Co.
Rickands, Mather & Co. on the
Menominee range of Michigan made
the largest shipment of a single
grade of ore from that range in
1925. 1t was 910,784 tons of Osana
grade non-bessemer ore made up
from several mines in the Iron River
district.
The Cliffs Group constituted the
largest shipment of any one grade
made from the Marquette range in
the season of 1925. This is a nom
bessemer grade produced from
Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co. mines and
amounted to 600,639 gross tons.

expulsion Of George Remus, mill

Ohio, from the, United States as an
undesirable alien, win be asked In

Remus. Is now Ia jail at Troy,

The deportation move, which il
believed to have been inaugurated
as result Of information furnished
Federal officials by Remus' es-
tranged wife during a recent visit
here, will be based upon the aIlega-
ton that Remus is q German
citizen and has never become
naturaIized.
Remus, it Is understood, claims
his father became naturalized when
he was a child, which would auto
matically entitle himself to citizen

PLAN Kites FOR
DROWNED BOY

Funeral services for Daniel
Joseph Mccarthy, Is, Of 715 Ali
son st. N. W. drowned yes
terday in the swimming pool at
st. johns College, 1925 Vermont
Ave. N. w, will be held Saturday
morning at o'clock in st. Gabriel's
Catholic Church, Grant Circle. The
Rev. John Mcnamara, rector Of the
church, will officiate.
Mccarthy with two schooImates,
who had been cleaning guns in the
armory yesterday, got permission
to take swim In the pool shortly
before noon. The boy took one dive
and failed to come to the surface,
but the boys with him, Francis
Hurson. of Is Adams st. N. w,
and Francis McCullam, Of 1881 +
st. N. E., thought he was trying
to see how long he could stay
under and were not alarmed at
first. McCarthy's continued failure
to appear on the surface finally
caused them to call to Brother
Alfred, the project OF the school,
who was nearby. Brother Alfred
pulled the boy out.
DR.. Clarence Cooke, Of the La
clede Apartments, was called and
he began resuscitation methods, but
without avail.
The parents were notified by
Brother Alfred, who is director OF
the school.
The theory is that Mccarthy
struck his head when he dived, and
was stunned. Coroner hewitt issued
a certificate of accidental death by
drowning.
