LAKE SUPERIOR
ORE SHIPMENTS.
BESSEMER 1900, 3O1 AND NON
BESSEMER 35,17O,3s1
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 total of $3.50,
SOP gross tons (bill 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 PHOSPHORUS,
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 CHASED as
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
Superior ores in 1924 was 0.075
per cent. For high-phos. non-bes-
semer ores it was 0.402 per cent.
The non-bessemer grade was the
predominating grade shipped from
the Mesa5l, Menominee and Mar
quette ranges during the past sea-
son. 1t constituted 65 per cent of
the shipments from all the ranges;
68.5 per cent of shipments from the
Mesabi range; AZ per cent from the
Gogebic; 84.5 per cent from the
Menominee; 35 per cent from the
Guyana; 1872 from the Marquette
and per cent from the Vermilion
range in 1925.
Vermilion Mostly Bessemer Grade.
Of all the Lake Superior iron
ranges the Vermilion 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 43 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
manganifel Gus ore, 65 per cent ap-
proximately. The Gogsbic range
followed in rank of actual output,
producing 863,325 gross tons of
manganiferous ore in 1925. Third
was the Menominee range with
315,991 gross tons and the Mesabi
was fourth with 1920 gross tons.
The Marquette and Vermilion
ranges mined no manganiferous
ores.

came from two mines near Palmer,

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

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, Kerr, Missabe Mountain,
Morris, Crdean, Sellers, Wanless
and Phlbin 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, its
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 2O2,602
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-

MIeacham, operated by Pickands,
Mather & Co. 1t amounted to 1885,
900 gross tons.
The Pioneer mine of the Oliver

The Oliver shipped SS9,941 gross
