for the year 1884 although there was
slight decrease in the amount of
ore shipped from state-owned mines.
from a report by F.. A. Wildes, direc-
tor of the Division of Lands and
Minerals.
In 1894 Minnesota mines forwarded
16,026,0O0 gross tons of regular iron
ore with value Of $42,829, 900, at a
rate of $2.67 per ton, the report in
dictated. To this tonnage and value,
state-owned iron mines contributed
$4,000 gross tons or about 22h per
cent of the total shipments. The
value of this state ore was $S,456, 900.
In 1888 total iron ore shipments
amounted to 1883, 1853 gross tons with
state mines contributing 3,604,447
gross tons to the total.
Under prevailing leases, state trust
funds are paid a royalty based on
the weight of the crude ore before
treatment of any kind. Because of
this method the state received roy
atty payments in 1884 on a tonnage
of 1903, 100 tons in round figures, Mr..
Wildes said
Of all iron ore produced in the
United States during the year 1884,
IS per cent came from the Lake
Superior district made up Of Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and Michigan, the d.
rector pointed out.
Ore tonnage containing five per
cent or more of manganese proved
considerable last year and is not in
cluded in the figures given for Mime
sofa shipments.
