RUSTIC BRIDGE over the quiet Avon symbolizes the old-world serenity the town is trying to preserve.

the atmosphere of S t r a t f o r d
peaceful and mannerly.
The swans that float calmly
down the Avon in front of the
theater seem to typify the some-
what detached relaxation of the
old town. One suspects, however,
that banality and an air of care-
fully created quaintness are slowly
replacing the dignity that has
heretofore distinguished Stratford
from other tourist towns; the
price of popularity has tradition-
ally been vulgarity. We can only
commend Stratford for her efforts
and her successes so far.
MESABI
(Continued from Page 8)
RAIL HAULAGE is the oldest
method, but since mines are
becoming deeper, the cars cannot
make the steep grades. Also,
trucks cannot climb out of the
smaller, deeper mines. Conveyor,
hauling, which operates on 30
per cent grades, is the most prac-
tical method for most mines. In
some deep mines, the use of the
inclined skip and hoist up the#
side is the most practicablef
method.
Although the usual conception
of open pit mining involves rail-
road cars running deep in the
mine, it is not common practice.
When we stopped off at one of
the railroad control towers, we
learned that one railroad car had
just left the track. The signalman
showed us steel devices which are
used to prop up the car and put
it back on the track.
GETTING there is most of the
problem, it seems, and the cost
of transporting ore 80 miles south
to Duluth is almost as much as
lake rates to, Chicago, Cleveland,
or Erie. Strict schedules must be
kept, since ore freighters cannot
wait long at the docks.
Outside Hibbing, in trackyards'
which are as wide and as brown
as the Mississippi, loaded cars
wait for engines to pull them to
Duluth.
No one company or individual
receives any sizable hunk of ore
tonnage profits. Perhaps the most
unfortunate losers are the owners
of properties who signed 99-year
leases before the turn of the cen-
tury, when the Mesabi was being
developed. These leases entitled
them to ten cents or so on every
ton of ore; the price of ore is
now $10.10 per long ton.
And, in the light of present dis-
coveries, the leases may have been
unrealistic in another sense.
Ninety-nine years seems to have
- been too long a time to expect
the Mesabi to produce.
