Ore Prices Drop to 3.00 a Ton in Duluth Dispatch
A Duluth dispatch from February 7 reports Corrigan, McKinney & Co. of Cleveland sold Commodore ore at 3.00 per ton, a 50 cent drop from 1911. The non-Bessemer ore price is said to be matched on the Marquette range by Breitung interests, though a prominent Duluth mining man doubts the figure will be widely adopted.
