NEED To IMPROVE
LOW GRADE ORES
DIRECTOR DAVIS OF THE MINES
STATE UNIVERSITY POINTS OUT,
NECESSITY OF TREATING LOW
GRADE ORES.

A constant and heavy drain on the
high grade ore deposits of Minnesota
Is made by the necessity of mining in
creasing quantities Of the best ore to
mix with low grade ore under the
present policy Of putting enough rich
ore In with lean to bring the mixture
to an acceptable average.
In q paper recently read before the
American Institute Of Mining Enign-
GERS, z. W. Davis, director of the Mines
Experiment Station of the University
of Minnesota, pointed out a crying need
for improved methods of treating iron
from poorer deposits to concentrate the
iron content. A principal reason among
many why this would be desirable, he
explained, is that less Of the highest
grade ore would have to be used to

the last ditch, but in our legislative
program for 1881, we are only pro-
posing such legislation as will rebound
to the benefit of the whole state.
Briefly. we propose to seek legis-
lation that will add to the facilities Of
the school at Owatonna, and the school
for the feeble-minded at Faribault.
These school facilities are so made
quate that there are over 1900 on the
waiting list. and some have been on
that list over a year. You need only
picture families of normal. children
growing up with morons and feeble
minded, and the grave dangers which
complicate such relationship, to re-
alize how serious the situation is, and
how necessary a remedy.
I'VE propose consolidation of all
agencies dealing with soldier welfare
which are now administered by several
boards with the resultant extravaganza
and waste. The American Legion in
the interests of conservation, proposes
the establishment of bureau whose
entire interest shall be control of tim
Der sales, recreational use of state
lands, sale of water power leases, forest
protection, protection of game and fish,
and in fact, all that great heritage
which nature has left to us, we intend
to preserve for future generations. We
throw down the gauntlet now to those
who would destroy it.
Making the holding of boxing ex-
hibitions possible in any community
which desires them, is another of our
aims We see no reason why boxing
should be allowed in the three largest
cities and prohibited in all others, and
we propose to make it optional with
the smaller communities as to whether
they shall or shall not promote these
exhibitions, under proper supervision.
1.-THE American Legion wants the
people of Minnesota to support its pro-
gram. It is the duty of every citizen
to take as active part in the govern
ment of his state as his time and
means permit; and if there are people
who have no program of their own,
but are interested in constructive legis-
lation and want tc help-won't you
make our program yours; and when
the legislature convenes next January,
through your representative, help the
American Legion carry on for the bet
terment of the people of Minnesota.

simple process of washing out i'm
purities. is rapidly decreasing.
whereas wash ore used to be material
that could be washed down to six or
eight percent silica. the results of wash
ing are now often no better than 10 or
IL percent silica
In the ore shipped from Minnesota
mines the amount that has too high a
silica content when mined, and must
therefore be mixed with ore of the
highest grade, Is rapidly increasing,
which results in an icreased drain on
the best mines.
The obviously sound method of bet
tering the situation is to perfect
methods of concentrating the low grade
ore, inasmuch as it takes so much less
four percent silica ore to sweeten 10
percent silica ore than to bring Is per-
cent silica material up to the shipping
standard.
The paper also points out that the
small producer. operating a single mine,
Is at a distinct disadvantage because
as soon as his mine gets below shipping
standard, he has no other mine or rich
ore with which to mix his product and
therefore must cease mining.
Mr.. Davis points out the various
methods Of benef1ciating ore, including
washing, jigging, and the like, includ-
ing the magnetic concentration method
which he developed, and declares that
inh
at present, beneficiation must be ac-
complished at not more than 81 per
long ton of ore if the product is to be
produced at a price that will permit
putting it on the market.
Standards for a plant that would
permit the successful marketing of
concentrated ore are given by the
superintendent of the Mines Exert
ment Station as follows: The concen-
trated product should contain nine
percent or less of silica and 60 percent
or more Of iron; the recovery of iron
should be above 8 percent; at least
one-half Of the concentrate should re-
quire no Sintering; radical changes in
structure and analysis of the ore should
not seriously affect the grade of con-
centrate produced; the plant should be
located at some central point so that
its ore supply will come from a number
of mines with long total operating life;
the plant should be capable of ex-
pansion in size to produce at least
100000 tons of concentrate during
shipping season; the total cost of treat
ment cannot greatly exceed 81 per ton
Of ore shipped with the present price
of iron ore.
The paper also says that there are
now 81 concentrating plants in Mime
sofa, erected to beneficiate, or bring up
the grade of lean ores. Of these about
one-half are operated to reduce the
amount of silica and other waste
material in the ore, which is the same
thing as concentrating the iron con-
tent. The other half are used to i'm
prove the structure of the ore, as by
crushing or sintering, or to decrease
water content. Ore that is too fine to
ship without being blown away or lost
in handling is put through the process
known as sintering, in which it is fused
by heat into solid pieces which are
then broken up into sizes that can be
handled
