(U.PJ A half- century ago, Iron ore In "inex haustible" deposits was dis covered in the Lake Superior region. Experts said ore de posits In the great Mesabl range would last many, many years past our day. But today, In the 80th anni versary year of Mesabl s first shipment, war production of ficials and others are duly up set because recent surveys show the Mesabl range, with its easy mining methods and cheap lake transportation, may "go dry" of commercial grade ore in six or seven years. Left in a flexible or easily- mined state is about 957,000,000 tons of the vital material. Its 'normal" annual output aver ages about 52,000,000 tons and will reach 90,000,000 this year. At that pace, and unless a quick course of action Is pursued, sev eral large lake cities whose business is largely dependent upon Iron and steel, will stand, to suffer large business losses. A quick course of action, ex perts say, would be Immediate construction of pilot plants to process the vast amounts of hard-to-mlne "lean" ore still re maining in quantity at Mesabl. Take Two Years For Plant "Lean" ore contains less than 51 per cent metallic Iron and consequently runs production costs far above what good grade ore would normally amount to. E. W. Davis, a University of Minnesota expert, who made a survey earlier this year, said construction of such plant would require about two years time and a capital outlay of about S10 for every Initial an nual ton of ore produced. For the time be ns, these plants are blocked by War Pro duction board orders prohibit ing new construction that can not be finished before 1943. If and when they are con structed, a tonnage estimate of unlimited proportions will be thrown open to the Great Lakes ore business. Sees Decline After 1950 Davis also said if It Is re quired to produce 100.000.000 tons of or annually until 1950, It can be done, but by present mining methods (open pit using power shovels, etc.) each year after that would see less than 22,000,000 tons available, there by destroying the flexibility of the Great Lakes stockpile. , This, needless to say, would cause heavy Industry to leave such great Industrial centers as Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Buffalo and move to more fertile grounds in Alabama, Colorado, Texas and California, and perhaps the Gulf states. (Large ore deposits in Brazil are being tapped). The Reserve Mining Co.. a subsidiary of Oglebay, Norton & Co., who received Mesabi's first shipment of ore at Cleve land In 1892, applied for a per mit to construct a $7,500,000 pilot plant needed for the low grade ore, but was turned down by the WPB. Without doubt they will re apply until such time as per mission can be granted. Until then, the vast lake industry de pendent upon iron ore from the Lake Superior territory isn't resting on firm foundations. U. S.

Vm sbn Tribune Want Ada,, Alwyr Co. Expanding to Care for Contracts 45 Men Given Employment. Medford's lone war Industrial concern, the Alwyr company, is expanding daily to meet the demands of contracts furnished by the U. S. navy, according to W. B. Crause, who with his brother N. H. Crause, operates the company. The firm has been turning out navy orders for the past seven months and expects to double or triple production this year. Among other things the firm makes convoy buoys for the navy. Mr. Crause explained that these were guiding devices trailed behind each ship in a convoy so the next ship may keep its distance. They are made of wood and metal and each ship trails two. Precision Instruments In addition to the convoy buoys the Alwyr company fur nishes various precision instru ments for the navy. It was ex plained that the Alwyr com pany is the contracting firm and that actual construction goes on at the Precision Ma chine Works operated here by C. D. Thatcher. Before the war such peace time gadgets as fishing leaders were manufactured as well as certain types of farm machinery. The shops are equipped to do copper and brass work, this be ing the only pipe bending plant In southern Oregon, according to Mr. Crause. Now planned are a galvanizing plant, and electro plating plant and a brass foundry. Approximately 45 men are employed in the plant. Conver sion of the machine works to war time production forced the company to construct in the plant machines which they needed and which could not be purchased. The Alwyr company has been operating in Medford for more than 15 years.
