The wealth of these mines can hard
ly be estimated. The Mahoning mine
at Hibbing, for instance, is two miles
long and a half mile wide. The earth
that covered the ore deposit varied
from 50 to 200 feet in thickness. This
enormous quantity of waste dirt was
cleared off and carried onto great
dumps on non-mineral lands. The ex
pense of stripping this mine alone
runs into tens of millions of dollars
The development also consists in ex
tensive pumping operations by means
of which the porous ore deposits are
relieved of moisture. As a result the
ore body lies exposed in this mine in
an area of over a square mile. The
railroad tracks lead into the same, and
the loading can be done at will with
steam shovels from the pit direct in
to the steel railroad cars that carry
the ore to the docks on Lake Superior
The depth of the ore bodies runs
down in places to 400 feet, sufficient
to supply all demands for decades to
come. When mining can be done at a
profit is underground workings and by
small shippers loading with wheel
barrows in smaller mines, with a
poorer grade of ore, the vast pro
fits derived from this vast open pit
of the best grade ore can be faintly
Then this is only one of many
mines. It is said that every steel
Industry of any consequence in the
world has acquired interest in some
of these Minnesota mines. Most all

MINNESOTA'S IRON MINES AND
THE HIBBING TAX TROUBLE
It is less than twenty-five years
ago since the iron bearing minerals of
St. Louis county were discovered.
These deposits lie in a narrow strip
of land, from a half mile to two miles
wide and extending for fifty or more
miles from Mesaba towards Grand
Rapids, through a wilderness of red
soil and pine stumps. Before this dis
covery the cut-over lands in which the
minerals are deposited were consid
ered almost worthless. Now one forty
may contain an immense fortune. The
development of this iron range has
placed Minnesota in the first rank also
as a mineral state, when it was prev
iously considered wholly an agricul
tural and lumbering state. To the
problems of state control of railroads
involving as it does the transportation
of the farmers' products, and the lum
ber kings whose ruthless destruction
of the immense forests of Minnesota
is nearing its completion with hardly
any attempt being made to check it,
is now added the problem of the con
trol of an industrial development
which in magnitude and financial
strength overshadows anything of the
kind yet known in this country of
ours.

the multi-millionaires of the country
have grasped the opportunity they
saw here of adding to their riches
and have acquired iron lands or stock
in these mines, thereby consolidating
their industrial as well as political in
fluence with that of the steel corpor
ation. With the erection of the great
works at Duluth for the utilization of
the lower grade ore will begin an in
dustrial development to the state hith
erto undreamed of.
The biennial struggle for years
back in the legislature for a tonnage
tax were the first manifestations cf
the desire of the people of the state
to participate in the immense wealth
being dug out from these deposits
The late Governor Johnson vetoed
such a tax adopted by the legislature
on the plea that it would deprive the
local range cities of the revenue need
ed for municipal and school purposes
The people of St. Louis county re
garded this law as a measure hostile
to the development of their country

The village of Hibbing embraces a
number of the richest mines of the
district. The large open-pit mines
crowd the built up portions of the vil
lage on three sides, and its main busi
ness section is underlaid with the
richest of ore bodies, the mineral
rights of which have been reserved
by the steel interests. This fact mili
tates against the erection of large per
manent business blocks there, as it
is realized that in time the buildings
will be razed or moved off in order to
permit mining operations. This con
tingency is considered more or less
remote, however. There are miles of
paved streets and the public buildings
are all handsome structures. The
enormous assessed valuation of the
uncovered ore-beds, even with a small
tax rate, gives the local municipality
large sums of money for local use.
The alleged extravagance of the vil
lage authorities is the excuse that the
mining companies now give for re
fusing to pay the taxes. An attempt
was made last winter to get the legis
lature to limit the amount that the
range towns might levy for local pur
poses. The city fathers of Hibbing
have come back at the companies by
levying nearly two million taxes for
this year. The situation is one that
may well be watched with great inter
est by the people of the state at laifee.
With their enormous revenues for
local purposes the range towns have
been the envy of other towns that do
not have such large assessed valua-
tions. The liberal salaries paid teach
ers there, for Instance, have .had a
demoralising effect on the schools of
other towns that could not keep the
pace. It is not to be wondered at
that when reports were heard of the
large pay-rolls, extensive park sys
tems, municipal green-houses, etc.,
people generally would be inclined to
believe that there was justification
for the complaints of the mining com
panies.
There is another side to the situa
tion which should be considered be
fore judgment is passed. The mining
population is a mixed one, consisting
of both the desirable as well as un
desirable people. Many of the miners
live from hand to mouth (and it is
charged that the mining companies
encourage this condition in order to
hold them.) When the mines lay off
men, as they frequently do, they be
come a burden to the municipality,
which has attempted to relieve the
situation by employing such men at
public improvements. Plenty of light
and policemen are held necessary to
make conditions safe. The surround
tag open mines have multiplied the
ordinary sewer and water problems
many time over. One park cuts the
village practically in two as a precau
tion against a conflagration which
might start among the wooden build
ings. The parks require a green
house to start the flowers. The resi
dents reason that when the net profits
of the mining companies run into the
tens of millions annually, such cor
porations should not begrudge the
miners all that is necessary to keep
up the city in first-class shape. They
hold that the companies should feel
responsibility for the men they bring
in to work the mines, to either care
for them or assist them to get out of
the town when not needed.
And it is evident that the compan
ies have not begrudged the liberal ex
penditure of money in the past, for
apparently they have controlled the
village government until the present
regime. The present situation is
therefore largely a political one. The
companies do not want a village gov
ernment that will
As intimated before, the scrap be
tween the mining companies and the
village of Hibbing, may have 'far
reaching influence in the shaping of
the public policy of the state in the
future, as regards the iron ranges.

Editorial outings with Tom, Dick

Our sentiment exactly. And as long
as these outings are not confined to
real newspaper men the trips will be
more or less a failure.—St. Peter Free

You are right, boys, and the suc
cess of the Northern Minnesota Edi
torial outings proves your contention.
The State Association has repeatedly
failed to get up sufficient interest for
an outing, because in the past you
have handed your credentials to peo
