124 THE Marine REVIEW March, 1919 Iron Ore Shipments by Mines and Ranges ETURNS from all the tron mines in the Lake Superior district, showing ore shipments for the season of 1909, with comparisons for previous years, are presented in a supplement to this issue, compiled by The Iron Trade Review. The table includes the mines in the Mayville district in Wisconsin, and shows that there was forwarded by lake and rail 42,586,869 tons of ore, of which 41,683,599 tons were shipped by lake and 903,270 tons by rail. This total for the lake shipments does not include 170,065 tons shipped from the Helen mine for the Lake Superior Cor-. During 1909 Menominee ranges' shipments returned to about the normal, though neither range quite equalled the shipments in 1907. The Gogebic, with 4,088,057 tons, nearly doubled the total of its 1908 shipments, and exceeded any rec- ord: ever made on that range, the previous high record haying been made in 1905, when 3,705,207 tons were sent down, The Vermillion range made a good gain over the 1908 shipments, but did not reach its normal, nor did it equal its' ship- ments in any ony between 1896 and is I by Wines. poration at Michipicoten. - MESABI RANGE.
