COLLEGE SETS
PUPIL RECORD
Enrolment During Past Year
Highest Since School Was
Founded in 1922.

Enrolment at the Ely Junior College
for the 1939-40 term was the largest
since the college was founded by Julius
H. Santo in 1922. During the year, 1T
students, 1O4 boys and 70 girls, attended
the school. Besides this number there
were two special students.
Daily attendance was at a high mark,
with 943 per cent of the students
present during each day of the term,
which covered 100 days of school.
The graduating class for the term

Beneficiation of Ore
Reaches New High Mark
Day Foreseen When Low Grade
Ore Will Form the Bulk of
Reserve Supply.

OF the 33,O22 800 tons of iron ore
shipped from the state of Minnesota
during 1889, 486 per cent were bene-
ficiated, according to the Mining d.
rectory for 1910 issued by the University
of Minnesota and compiled by John j..
Craig, metallurgist.
This is a new high percentage and is
a further support of the theory that low
grade ore one day will constitute the
most important part of the total ton
tonnage of ore reserves, Skillings' Min
ing Review states.
THE great Importance of this" Skill
lingS Review points out, sis its bearing
on the enormous quantities of iron ore
bearing material which exists in this
state, and in the Lake Superior dis
trict, which is not now described as
iron ore but which some day in the
not too distant future will be the main
reliance of the steel industry.
Constant research and experiment
are being made, and will continue to
be made, and in the end who is to
doubt that not only all metallurgical
problems will be solved, but even new
refinements introduced"
BY beneficiation, Mr.. Craig states, it
is meant washing, jigging, crushing
drying, Sintering, or any process by
which the grade or structure of the
crude ore is improved.
The term concentration, he continued
included all the processes of benefi-
citation except crushing and screening
Last year there were 6,221 1863 tons con-
centrated and 9843, pa tons crushed
and screened.
The beneficiation of Minnesota ores
began in 1906 with the crushing and
screening of 146,5O3 tons out of tota
of 25,613,401 shipped, or 0.6 per cent
Since that time the percentage bene-
ficiated increased steadily until il
reached an all time high last year.
There are AZ plants in Minnesota in
Guiding q washing plants, for the
treatment of iron ore to improve its
quality or structure. Among them is
the concentration plant of the Chand-
Ter Mining company placed in opera
IIOI1 ILLS ID dlSO a
ing plant at Babbitt about which much
talk is going the rounds concerning its
possible reopening.
A classification of reserve ore in
Minnesota made by Mr. Craig from
records of the Minnesota department
of taxation shows that there are
14,235,001 tons of such ore on the Ver-
million range; 62,O76,369 on the Guyana
and LAS, 973 ,3O4 on the Mesabi. The
states total reserve listed by the de-
partment of taxation is 1925, 184, 674
tons.
Figures compiled by the Lake SUI
perior Iron Ore association show that
since shipments started from the Ver-
million range, 67,133,51 tons of ore were
shipped up to the end of last year
First ore from Minnesota was sent out
from the Soudan mine of the Ver-
million range in 1884 The Chandler
mine at Ely was placed into production
four years later, and was operated az
an open pit mine, the first in the state
The Mesabi range is credited with
1,O74,981 ,491 tons and the Guyana with
39,749,154 tons. All told from the Lake
Superior district 1877 ,63O,219 tons have
been shipped.

Deducting $24 AS
Expense Net Total To Be
Turned Over Is S134

In the drive for funds for the
rehabilitation of infantile paralysis
victims, which eliminated in the
Presidents ball and the basketball
game Monday evening, January 20,
a total Of $15S was realized, said
Carl Fischer, Captain of Co. M,
Minnesota National Guard, which
sponsored the entertainment. The
only expense incurred in staging
these events, said Capt. Fischer,
was $24 paid to the orchestra for
music. With this amount deduct
ed from the total, the net figure
available for the fund is $134.
This is a considerable increase
over the amount received last year
and the increase can be attributed
to the fine work of roster Of Co.
M, the members of which made the
house-to-house canvass of the city.
One-half of the amount remains
in the fund of the Stearns County
Chapter and one-half goes to Wash
ington to President Roosevelt for
use Of the Infantile Foundation, said
B. F. Dubois, county chairman,
who organized seventeen units for
this purpose within the county.
The basketball game, which was
an exciting exhibition of skill by
the Sank Centre Independents and
the Junior College team, was well
attended and those present were
we'll rewarded for their attendance.
The military drill and show was
omitted, and in its place demon
stration Of gas masks was given.
The drill could not be held owing
to the fact that the floor in the
new gymnasium would have been
marred by the heavy military boots
The dance was also well attended,
and the entire show was well worth
the price Of the tickets.
