St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-05-24


this greatest iron discovery of the age ac-
cessible 1t may also be remarked that
Cleveland and Chicago iron workers expect
to utilize to advantage the Yer
million ores, which are but 200
miles from ST. Paul. In addition
it may be stated that st. Paul capital is now
developing what promises to be an excel
lent and inexhaustible supply of iron ore at
Black River Falls, Wis, 1855 miles by rail
from st. Paul. With the advantages above
enumerated, 1t Is not too much to say that
st. Paul to-day is one of the very best
points in the United States to locate first
class iron and steel works The time has
come for the establishment OF large works
in st. Paul of the kind named. With such
a large field for all kinds of iron and steel
goods and machinery as the region north
and west of ST. Paul will present, works of
the character specified are imperative, and
no doubt would be profitable. One chief
advantage of works located in st. Paul
would be their proximity to an exclusive
Market which is growing greater and
greater with marvellous rapiaity. 1t is only
question of time when iron and steel
works win be located in st. Paul. Those
who locate here first will be the ones likely
to profit by the great opportunities offered.
