The 9. Ms No. Job

Let's 60 up on the iron range, in north
ern Minnesota, Uhere Americas life
line begins.
You stand on the brink of a yawning
man-made chasm. In it could be dumped
the Fort Peck, Grand Coulee and Boulder
dams, or all the material excavated from
the Panama Canal!
It's the largest, open-pit iron ore mine
in the world-this mine at Hibbing-2R
miles long, mile wide, and more than
800 feet deep. You're looking down on
60 miles of railroad track, with toy-ike
trains and power shovels scooping up
the ore.
Down there, you realize, are the
beginnings of battleships, airplanes,
tanks, cannons, trucks, and auto
mobiles.
For, from this red ore, the ingenuity
of American industry creates everything
made of iron and steel.
The task of moving nearly one-third
of all the ore which the hard-pressed
blast furnaces of this nation can handle
this year is the Great Northern's No. I
job on the national defense program.
Between the opening of navigation this
spring and next falls freeze-up-about
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-04-24

210 days-the Great Northern will be
called upon to move "a million long
tons of iron ore from the open-pit and
underground mines on the Mesabi range
and load it into boats at the head Of
the lakes.
1t will require thirteen trains a day
during most of the season-each loaded
with more than 10000 long tons of iron
ore-a shipload to a train!
1900 cars of ore day will have to be
assembled on the iron range; moved liz
miles to the terminals at Allouez; and
corresponding number of empty cars re-
turned and distributed to the mines.
Each carload of ore has been sampled
before it leaves the mine, and in the
Allouez yards the cars are switched and
assembled so that whole boatloads of the
ore can be built up in sections of the ore
docks to meet the different specifications
required by various steel mills.
Modern facilities and equipment,
together Nth highly specialized
personnel, enable the Great North
ern to meet these demands of a ma
tionaI emergency With the utmost
confidence that its obligations Diu
be fully and con,petentIy discharged.
