Keweenaw Copper Field Rebounds with Mohawk Dividend
Horace J. Stevens outlines a long cycling of Keweenaw mining fortunes. After peaks, declines, and a fifteen year drought, Mohawk’s first dividend signals a return of profitability to Keweenaw County while Ontonagon and Houghton expand. The piece highlights stratified beds advancing, major leads like Calumet & Hecla, and optimism for investors.

Ore Rates Not Changed for Next Season
Season contracts for carrying iron ore will stay the same as the just closed season. Chartering occurred at 75 cents from ports at the head of Lake Superior, 70 cents from Marquette, and 60 cents from Escanaba. Independent owners pursued nearly 5,000,000 tons tied up by freight contracts. U.S. Steel, the leading ore interest, has yet to place heavy business but is expected to move over 20,000,000 tons next season, creating demand for eight to nine million tons of outside tonnage.
