AS EDITOR LAMMoN KNOWS, much Of Mime

iron ore Industry must dig deeper. To do that II needs
the states encouragement. Hero the reasons
A. least third Of our remaining ore lies deep
below the surface. Roofing II out will be tough,
expensive Job.
The ore must be blasted loose. II must be HluAhed
into ehutes dumped into tram cars, hauled 70 the
surface Water must be pumped out, air pumped In
just 10 get at that necessary red earth.
fortune has been sunk In underground mining.
Much more must be invested. Yet these invest
msnts are a drop In the bucket compared 20 the
sums that must 70 into ANOTHER kind Of mining
production Of lOw-Rrads and tacOnits ores.
These I0wer-qualIty ores must also be developed 70
extend the present supplies Of shipping ore This WI
mining industry indefinitely. But there's the hard
problem Of costs to meet, and the hard problem Of
convincing investors that Minnesota wants 10 be fair
10 the iron ore industry.
To make q long story short, these future ores will
al be expensive 10 produce. But costs must be
kept within reason II the ores 20 be used Rich
deposits Of foreign ores have recently been found
and Minnesota ores must compete with them at the
steel furnaces.
Whether ore production costs can be kept in line
depends In part upon iron ore taxes.
Last year MInnesOtas ore industry paid more
than S27 million In local and state taxes. II II by
far our most heavily taxed major industry. In
fact no other state taxes ANY natural resource

Agreed. Mr.. Lammon. Minnesota needs Sound and

against iron ore mining.
Why We publish these f0cfS
We Of the Iron ore industry want TO stay In Mime
sota-permanently.
We want 20 insure the future Of Mnnesotas iron ore

20 hasten the development Of lowgrade and tac0nite

We want TO help make Il possible for the people of
