| Taconite Triggers Boom In Minnesota Industrial Boom In Northern Minnesota SILVER BAY. -Minn.. (INS) — Taconite, an ancient Indian-named rock with new meaning tor Americans national security and economic future, has triggered a vast iu- - dustrial boom to northern Minnesota. Along Lake Superiors north I shore, where only two years ago ■ a few scattered fishing cabins (stood to house the season’s tour- : ists. engineers (of the Reserve Mining Co.) are blasting out of the rock, muskeg swamp and steep shoreline a giant harbor, two modern towns for 10.CW0 people, a 47 i mile long railroad and an up-to- : date industrial plant. j Taconite, the reason behind this giant face-lifting, is an extremely hard, iron-bearing rock found in the eastern end, of the famed Mesabi range, supplier of 85% of the nation’s iron ore. Taconite roi ; k. formed 900 million years ago when northern Minnesota was an ocean bottom and later ’’baked’’ arid •’chilled” by volcanic and blacial action, lies only a few feet below the Mesabi’s surface. Similar strips in forests in the I East led the Indians to dub the i land “Tocona” roughly translated , as "forest wilderness beauty.” ( In the past, taconite remained ' mere "scenery” while the nation ' mined "direct shipping ore” on top of the Mesabi strip. But now that this high-grade, iron-rich “cream” is fast being skimmed off, attention has turned to mining ta- . conite, which comprises more than j nine-tenths of the range. Dr. E. W. Davis, long-time head of the University of Minnesota . mines experiment station and known as “Mr. Taconite” throughout the iron industry, believes taconite will make the United States completely independt of foreign nations for its source of ore. He said: •‘Now we are dependent upon countries like Venezuela, Liberia and Brazil for some of the iron i ore we need to keep our blast furnaces going. “With taconite the United States can be completely independent —

it need not import any ore. Since steel production is one of the basic factors in our economy — both in war and peace — you can see how vital taconite can be to nation’s future.” > The "Mr. Taconite" tag came to Prof. Davis because of his pioneering vision and skill in setting up a process which makes the hardsurfaced "useless” rock a valued blast furnace material. Basically, Dr. Davis’ process involves separating the iron ore embeded in the rock from the rock Itself. His assemblyline system takes man-sized rocks and successively crushes, grinds, magnetically separates, sifts and filters them until they are reduced to thick, muddy "iron soup.” ’ This soup — rich in iron now and with the silicate drained off — is then balled into small, roundpellets the size of marbles. Finally these pellets are baked hard and porous in large sintering ovens. In this final form, the pellets are 62.5 percent iron ore and ready for the blast furnaces of Gary, Pittsburgh and Youngs-

town. It is this iron rich content which the backers of taconite hope will cut down costs at the blast furnace to compensate for the complex I — and expensive — processing operation at the ore source. Taconite must riot only be mined — an arduous rock-busting process — it must also be processed. High grade iron ore is merely mined. But the taconite boom is on and the intensity of construction activity along the north shore attests to its backers' faith. New Swiss Watch Corrects Errors GENEVA (INS) — Push-button precision for watch wearers is the latest wrinkle in Swiss watchmaking. A new watch now going into production not only winds itself but corrects itself when it runs too fast or too slow. The wearer pushes a button to put its automatic regulator into action. Except for a button on either side of the winding stem, there i is nothing unusual about the|

Owner 0/ Famous Dog Is Sister Os Decatur Resident Residents of Silverton. Ore., celebrating their centennial, are recalling the famous story of the dog that brought renown to their community. • Bobbie, a collie owned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brazier of Silverton, was the dog who made the well-known cross country hike in six months front Indiana to his home in Oregon. ’ MrA Brazier is a sister of Mrs. Enuni&. Yost Baumgartner of Decatur. Aug. 15, 1923, Mr. and Mrs. Brazier were visiting in Indiana. While they stopped in Wolcott for car repair, the dog disappeared and could not be located. The Braziers searched for their pet but, unable to (find hin», continued on their trip. Six months later, to the day, Bobbie, as he was called, turned up in Silverton to become a celebrated dog. He had crossed the great divide in the dead of winter and with a strange sixth sense had been able to find his home. Three physical characteristics on Bobbie, a scar over his right eye, a slight injury to his hip and the absence of three front teeth left no doubt as to the accurate identity of the dog. The story of Bobbie and his trip, written by Charles Alexander and titled "Bobbie, a great Collie” has .become a favorite with children. This book is found at the Decatur public library. 4* • watch’s appearance. Here's how it operates: On the hour or any quarter of an hour, the wearer depresses the first button on a time signal such as are received over the radio or telephone. This synchonizes the hour, minute and second hands. The second button is pushed exactly 2* hours later, again synchronizing the watch hands and regulating the movement to correct errors. Prototypes of the new invention were displayed by Switzerland’s jeweled-lever watch manufacturer at the Basel Watch Fair.
