Iron ore mined in the United States
in 1929 amounted to 73,027, 720 gross
tons, an increase of II per cent as
compared with 1928, according to the
Department of Commerce at WASH
ington. Compared with the proceed
ing five years, the production in 1929
is greater by 10 per cent. The ship
ments of iron ore in 1929 amounted to
1902, 734 gross tons, valued at $751;
148,640, an increase Of 10 per cent in
quantity and of 81 per cent in total
value, as compared with 1928. The
average value per ton of iron ore at
the mines in 1929 was $2.61, as COM
pared to 1884 in 1929 The stocks of
iron ore at mines at the end of 1929
amounted to 7,067 ,206 gross tons, a
decrease of % per cent.
Minnesota leads the list of producers
with 45,760,858 gross tons, exclusive of
ore containing per cent or more OF
manganese The figure compares with
a total of 37,565, 005 gross tons output
is 1928. Michigan follows Minnesota
with 15,456, 1877 gross tons.
The total production of the Lake
Superior district, which includes the
Wisconsin mines only that are
in the true Lake Superior district, was
81 ,824,768 gross tons Of hematite ore
as compared with a 1928 production
of 1924 1853 gross tons.
Minnesota also heads the shipping
states, with a total of rs, ,243 gross

IMPROPER LICENSES
KEEP PATROL BUSY
DRIVING ERRORS, FAULTY EQUIP
MENT, ALSO BRING ARRESTS,
TAGS AND WARNINGS TO
MOTORISTS-PATR IN ELY
SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK.

Cars without the proper license
plates kept the members of the State
Highway patrol busy during April, to
judge by the report for the month,
submitted to G. M. Babcock, commits
sioner of highways, by Earle Brown,
chief patrol officer.
Forty-two arrests were made for i'm
proper use of licenses, and $462.68 in
fines imposed. The worst offenders
were two men in LeSueur county who
had made over two sets of 1929 plates
to look like 1880 plates. They paid
fines of 500 each. Sixty-nine cars
with improper licenses were taken into
custody
Only where there was clear evidence
of deliberate violation were arrests
made or cars held. Tags calling for
correction of license Irregularities were
given to 800, as follows: one plate, 1870;
no plates, 244; wrong plates, 396; no
Minnesota plates, 27; no visitors per-
NIT, 9; no chauffeur's license, "a. Tags
were also issued to 361 drivers who had
license plates covered by bumpers or
luggage, and 81 with license plates
swinging. In addition to those, warn
ings were given to 1,516 drivers for
license irregularities.
Forty six drivers were arrested for
driving while drunk, 81 for careless
driving, IA for overweight loads, and
3 for illegal parking. The total
amount of fines imposed was $3.50, of
which $2,270 was for drunken driving.
Sixty-eight cars were taken into Gus
tody due to the driver being drunk,
10 were found abandoned on the high
way and stolen cars were recovered.
The following were given tags for
illegal equipment: no rear light, 1881:
one head light, 772; faulty brakes, 20;
windshield wiper, 49,; warming devices.
g.; rear view mirror, Sc; tires, 1; no
clearance lamps, "a; other lighting ir-
Irregularities, 105 no muffler, So; faulty
steering gear, 9. All of those were re-
quired to furnish certificates within 48
hours that correction had been
made.
Warnings were given to the following
drivers, in addition to those warned
for license irregularities; improper
lights, 1,029; improper parking, 423;
speed in congested area, 928; going
through stop sign, 301; improper pass
ing, 10; brakes, q; passing on curve,
81; passing on crest of hill, II; cut
out open, "a; stickers on windshield,
81; one arm driving, %; cutting in on
traffic, 60; overweight trucks, Is;
driving in wrong lane, As; soliciting
rides, Is; live stock on highway, 81;
size of load, 43; no mirror, u.s.
The patrolmen attended 80 ac-
cidents, and gave aid to $40 motorists.
They travelled total of 132,66O miles
in their official duties.
The 1929 licenses became obsolete
after March 81, but many drivers,
even if they had the 1880 plates, neg
lected to attach them. With most of
the license irregularities corrected, the
patrolmen will be able to spend more
of their time in checking and cor
recting violations of the traffic rules.

INDUSTRY REPORTS
FEWER ACCIDENTS
NEARLY 100 CONCERNS ESCAPE
INJURIES AND FATALITIES
ENTIRELY DURING THE PAST
TWO YEARS-MINING CON-
SIDERED THE MOST HAZARD
Gus.

A notable industrial safety achieve
ment was announced in Chicago last
week by the National Safety Council
when completed reports showed that
90 of some 1700 reporting establish
ments went through the two years of
1928 and 1929 without single ac-
cident.
Until recent years it has been I'M
usual for any industrial plant, regard
less of its size, to go through years
operations without an accident
An accurate picture of the indus
trial accident situation is given in the
completed report for 1929. Figures
are available from 5000 plants through
out the United States employing about
100000 workers.
The complete compilation shows
that mining continues as the most haz-
ardous of all industries. Accidents
are both more frequent and more
severe in mining than in any other
industry. Reports also showed that
mining accidents have been greatly
decreased in the past few years.
The cement industry, noted for the
emphasis it has placed on safety, has
the fewest accidents per man-hour ex-
posture. The least severe accidents
occur in the textile group.
Accident frequency rates have gone
down steadily from year to year de-
spite the ever-increasing number of
workers and the new types of mach
inery constantly coming into use. The
largest reduction coming in recent
years was that coming in 1923 over
1927. Last years experience showed a
reduction of but two per cent.
Severity rates, on the other hand,
have been on the increase during re-
cent years. This increase is the one
disappointing feature of accident ex-
perience in the last three years. Safe
ty engineers. it is believed, can reduce
the severity rates by placing emphasis
on the prevention of serious accidents

prevention of accidents.
Mining Students on the Ranges.


Members of the Sophomore Glass of
the School of Mines and Metallurgy
of the University of Minnesota are
now on the Guyana Range for their
field work in surface and underground
surveying. They will spend eight weeks
on the ranges, considerable time of
which will be spent on the Vermilion.
In addition to the surveying field work
study will be made of the geology
of the Vermilion.
E. M. Lambert, professor of mining
engineering, L. E. Heilig, associate
professor of mine plant and mechan-
les and S. A. Trengove, instructor in
mining are now with the party. j. W..
Gruner, associate professor of geology,
will conduct the geological work, and
L. B. Pease, professor of metallurgy,
will conduct the class through the
the steel plant at Duluth.

A CORRECTION.

An error made by the compositor
and overlooked by the proof reader in
last weeks Miner stated that Mrs.
Pat Sullivan had arrived from Valley
City, N. Dakota, to join Mr.. Davidson,
who has been here for some time"
The machine operator confused "Sul-
liban" with Davidson" 1t was writ
ten and should have read, Mrs. Pat
Davidson and baby has arrived from
Valley City, N. Dakota, to join Mr..
Davidson who has been here for some
time. They have taken up their resi-
dence in the Rolando cottage at Long
Lake" We humbly beg the pardon
of the Davidson family the unexcus-
able error.

And now comes the assertion that
the straw ballot being taken through
out the land on the prohibition issue
has been named 1.-The Literary Dry
jest" Whether the name as applied
pictures the true condition or not,
both sides seem to be pleased. The
vets see in the vote hopeful sign and
the drys are certain that the vote
shows their side in the lead. In the
meantime the Literary Digest is get
ting the paid-in-advance subscribers
and making itself and both vets and
drys happy. The fellow on the side
lines who is neither wet or dry but
for temperance, is saying nothing but
awaits the result of the effort Of one
half the people of the country to COM
pei their beliefs on the other half,
wet or dry.

Poppy Being Generally Worn.

An army of American Legion Aux
iliary ladies were out Saturday and
pinned a poppy on the larger portion
of our citizens in accordance with the
yearly custom to sell the little red
emblem of the battlehelds of France
and to be worn until after Memorial
Day as a tribute to those who gave
their lives in the late war. The ladies
report brisk sale and also that only
a few refused to buy. Those who re-
fused Saturday have since had the OPP
portunity to supply themselves with
the poppy and it is estimated that
nearly every man, woman and child
in the city has been supplied. The
ladies were enthusiastic workers and
the Indictment weather of the past few
days failed to dent their spirit.

ION This
!: Occasion
, Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

Some day, Dr. Little, former presi-
dent of the University of Michigan
may become a candidate for Office and
when that time arrives it will be just
too bad with fireworks and hot time
generally. In fact, we expect to see
some warm interviews with the learned
gentleman very shortly. In recent
talk he mentioned his belief that
"meddling women constitute a very
detrimental factor in most colleges
and universities" We don't know
whether the professor is a married
man or a bachelor, but do know that
he displays all the earmarkS of a
devil-may-ca who is not afraid of
the Tightening that soon will be play
ing about his head.
Listen to his further remarks on the
subject of the ladies in higher educa-
ton. He said: They are the mill
tant feministS-the older women ex-
ecutives, faculty members, faculty
wives and local club women. They
thrive on a diet of emotional pap.
They tend to breed and to foster sex
antagonism based on unwiSe and I'M
real values. They demand, among
other things, that there be an equal
number of men and women on college
faculties, regardless of the competitive
processes through which candidates
are selected. They are too highly
emotional in their approach to all
problems"

Mine taxation is bothering several
of the western states as well as the
eastern and central states. In the
west just now one group is advocating
higher mine taxes in order to relieve
other business, mainly agriculture,
notwithstanding the fact that mines
are being gouged almost to the point
of bankruptcy. For example, Utah is
a great mining state. Mining is the
principal employer and carries the
largest payroll. Directly mining pur-
chases the products of every other in
duStry within the state. Should min
ing be taxed out of existence, the state
might as well shut up shop. 1t Is
authoritively stated that if taxes in
crease in Utah it will be practically
impossible to work much of the low
grade ore at present being utilized and
from which a small profit is obtained
and can only be worked by reason of
the large amount put through the mill.
$3.50
It is not necessary to go to Utah
for an object lesson in overtaxation of
mines. Our home state furnishes a
fair example of what can be accom-
plished in this line. Here we have the
advalorem taxes for local and county
upkeep; tonnage tax; royalty tax;
income tax and what not. The report
of Mine Inspector Smith for st. Louis
County for the year 1929 shows that
81 mines were operated out of 1856
mines in the county and that 1913 were
idle. Those who are in the know
claim that this is due to the multitude
of taxes assessed against the industry.
Only the best mines are being oper-
ated and the highest class ores are
being mined The lower grade ores
are left and under the present high
taxation and production costs cannot
be mined with any profit. What will
happen when the high grade ores are
exhausted2 Capital, when oppressed,
goes elsewhere. Mining taxation is to
be considered from the standpoint of
labor investment and employment.
No intelligent, unbiased person can
escape the conclusion that mining
progress and state progress go hand
in hand.
