IN LAKE REGION
By Robert J. Serllng
(United Press Correspondent)
Cleveland, O. (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.

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.
LOCALlAlERS

card holder is a field repre
sentative of a large fruit com

Several members of the board
live In the country, one residing
12 miles from Medford, but In
spite of this fact all are operat
ing successfully on their "A"
card.
The seven office employes
have only "A" cards. Local
board officials are proud of this
showing, which reveals that
persons can operate successfully
on an A card. Many are vol
unteering their services to the
board and carrying on this na-
triottc work despite the use of
their gasoline.
