SPEED LIMIT ON THE
CAPITOL GROUNDS

The speed limit around the
state house and capitol
grounds has been increased
from four to six miles an
hour.
It's a long story how the
increase came about, but it
startedwhen it was discover
ed the limit was only four
miles an hour, a regulation
violated daily because the
sign was old, black and not
readable.
But a nice new yellow sign
has replaced the landmark
and today motorists are ad-
visied they may attain dizzy
speed of six miles an hour.
And just try to violate the
regulation says A. e. Mann,
custodian of the grounds.

PUPILS
THRIFT HABITS
Local School Children on the
Bankers Association Honor
Roll.

School pupils of Ely have received
nationwide recognition for their thrift
habits. In the twelfth annual report
of the school savings bank division of
the American Bankers Association, just
published, the name of Ely appears
on the Honor Roll of cities having
more than 1870 of the entire school
population owning and using a school
savings bank book. The report covers
the school year 1930-31.
Pointing out that the nationwide
school savings program during the year
1930-31 has had its time of greatest
test and has demonstrated it's greatest
possible service, the report calls at
tention to the fact that total net savings
for the year have decreased over other
years. In many communities the
money saved during other years has
been withdrawn from the school bank
during this past year, to help meet
family living expenses and to avert
difficulties arising from parents lack
of employment. However, the number

Camp Ground InsprOUenssts
Superior National Forest.

The rapidly increasing popularity ol
the Superior National Forest as a
vacation and recreational area has
been recognized by the Forest Service
at Washington, D. c., and Supervisor
zeller has been asked to prepare COM
prehensive plans of what improvements
are considered necessary during the
next five-year period in order to ade-
quately serve the campers and visitors
who are expected to visit the Forest.
The plan calls for the setting aside
of certain areas in each Ranger dis
trict, and these camping sites win be
improved by the installation of fire.
places, tables and benches, garbage
pits, and other facilities for the use of
the camping public.
Sites for camp-grounds are always
chosen for the most scenic areas, but
the danger of fire is always the first
consideration. BY the use of standard
fire-places and cleared fire lines it is
made possible for the public to enjoy
outdoor camping privileges without the
increasing hazard Of forest fire.
In addition to preparations for future
camp-ground construction, acquisitions
have been made out for large number
of signs which will be posted through
out the Forest, principally on trails,
at portages, and at campgrounds.

Lake SUPERIOR
ORE RESERVES
"Trade Winds" Magazine Dis
cusses Iron Ore in October
Issue.

Present known reserves Of high grade
Lake Superior iron ore on which the
nations iron and steel industry largely
depends would be entirely exhausted
in less than 80 years if the rate of
shipment prevailing in recent years
were to continue and no additions to
the reserves be made, says Trade Winds
of Cleveland in study of ore reserves.
Michigan and Minnesota iron ranges,
where most of the ore is produced
show high grade reserves of 1857 ,538, 843
tons, against which average shipments
have been 100000 tons annually
New discoveries of ore every year have
added to known reserves, but there is
no certainty of the extent that these
new discoveries can be continued, be-
cause much of the exploration work in
the iron ranges has been done.
"One factor which will vitality affect
the length of the period the iron and
steel industry can look to Lake Su-
perior for its supplies of iron ore is
the existence of unknown quantities of
low grade ore requiring treatment be-
fore it is disable by iron furnaces" says
the publication. Mine operators know
these supplies are vast, but do not
know the extent or quantity of these
reserves.
Lower mine operating costs or new
discoveries in the berleficiating treat
ment processes would be necessary to
bring this low grade ore into COM
mercial existence.
"One situation which puts the mine
operators under the necessity of going
on in the working of high grade ore
deposits even to the point of their seri-
Gus depletion before making any def
mite attempt to use low grade ore is the
taxing policy of the ore producing
states, particularly Minnesota.
Iron ore companies operating in
Minnesota pay the heaviest taxes of
any industry in the world, state and
local taxes there on iron mining being
more than % per cent of the value of
ore mined, compared with the average
rate of is per cent of state and local
taxes on the product of all industries
and trade in the United States"
Trade Winds points out that the
ore industry is subject to sharply de-
fined economic limitations, lake ores
being unable to compete with southern
ores in that territory or with local or
foreign ores in seaboard territory. The
use of scrap in steel melting also is
increasing rapidly, because of its re-
latively lower cost, with resulting re-
duction in ore requirements.

MAKES TALK
ON TAX CUT
Mining Executive of Chisholm
Gives Reasons for a Tax
Cut in This State.

Q. A. SundneSS, prominent mining
man of Chisholm, who has been making
an extensive study of the tax situation
as related to mines of Minnesota as
compared to outside states, talked
before a Hibbing club last week.
During his talk he stated that well
known influences are making it more
difficult for ore producers of the ranges
to successfully compete with outside
producers.
One Of these influences was the
rapid increase in the use of scrap iron
in substitution for iron ore.
The speaker pointed out that ton
Of scrap iron is equal to a ton and
a half of iron ore, and that the Junk
ing of cars and other machinery each
year is making increasing amounts of
scrap iron available.
Contending that the iron ore in
dustry on the range is being sub
jected to unfair taxation which is
making it difficult for operators to COM
pete successfully with those in out
side states. Mr.. Sundness gave figures
compiled for a five-year period in
outside states and for a four-year
period in Minnesota, showing the total
cost of production outside at 1919 and
in Minnesota 1891 tom The aver
age market value, on the basis of
analysis, was $4.49 In outside states
and SAT- in Minnesota, so that out
side producers realized a paper profit
of 20 cents a ton while Minnesota
operators earned profit of Sc cents
per ton, Mr.. Sundness said In out
side states the average tax was 26
cents a ton, leaving an stimated profit
of A cents a ton, while in Minnesota
the average tax was 81 cents a ton,
leaving net profit of S cents ton.
The royalty in outside states averaged
20 cents a ton and in Minnesota As
cents a ton, leaving an estimated profit
side was $1.03 ton and in Mime
sofa 80 cents ton. The mine supply
cost outside was So cents ton and In
Minnesota 43 cents ton.
