Red of the high grade hematite, turquoise and gray of greenstone blend with the purples and sulphur colors that weather in a summer sun. This was once nature's lode hovered covetously beneath the waters of a lake. When, during World War II, iron ore stock piles dwindled under the demands of hungry U.S. blast furnaces, when ore ships were targets for submar- ine shells and the only feasible source was the known ore body which geological surveys had forecast lay beneath that in- land Steep Rock Lake, one of the greatest feats in Canadian engineering history was under- taken. Urgency pushed a job that had been estimated would require from three to six years to complete. It was done in less than two. The course of a river was changed, a lake was drain- ed into another when the hum of sea dredges split the calm of the bush within almost a stone's throw of the small vil- lage of Atikokan, Ontario. Since that sunny May morn- ing in 1945, when the first long ton was recovered from its bed where centuries before glacial action had deposited it, to last year's report to the shareholders of this non-cap- tive mining venture, more than 25 million tons of iron ore have been shipped in the ore cars by Canadian National Railways over its spur line to the IN dock at Port Arthur. Automation has reduced the prediction that Atikokan, with its 300 inhabitants, would be- come a city of 16 thousand persons to a levelling off of some six thousand residents. More Canadian ore mines have been discovered and put into operation since those harrow- ing war years. New methods for upgrading ore make a fur- ther investment of at least 15 million dollars a necessity. Steep Rock is determined to stay in this highly competitive field. I was a guest of this com- pany recently and I carried away with me several marble- like charcoal colored pellets. They are the result of testing Steep Rock ore in pelletizing equipment. When the company is satisfied, it has found the best method possible for this system of upgrading ore and the present endeavour on the part ,al senior executives to negotiate new contracts has been fulfilled, the first sod for its new pelletizing project will be turned. Away To Good Start The pelletizing system will make it possible to ship three million tons annually. While this is still in the planning stage Steep Rock, away to a good start this spring, was al- ready well ahead of bast year's coarse ore loading by almost 3,000 carloads, at the end of June.
