Milwaukee Journal. April eth.
Milwaukee men largely interested
in mines say that Il development
which will have a lively interest for
persons concerned iii iron properties,
particularly in such mines as are sit
uated on the Gogebic range, is that a
committee from Harrisburg, Bethle-
hem and other interior points in
Pennsylvania are apou the range this
week, looking over the mines with n
view to purchases. The Bethlehem
contingent were in the city yesterday
and expressed themselves us surprised
at the seemingly limitless quantity of
ore, as well as the high grade OF the
ASSAYS made. They are pruprietoro
of large furnaces IN the coke regions
of Pennsylvania, Il territory where
Gogebic ore has never been seen ex-
cepting as samples, but by words
dropped BY the committee the infer
ence is drawn that the product OF the
range will largely find sale there the
coming season, instead of being de-
posted almost exclusively upon the
docks III Cleveland
In Pennsylvania the ore that has
heretofore been consumed III the
manufacture of Bessem,r steel was al
most exclusively the product OF span
ish mines. \ careful analysis made
of Gogebic iron places il higher IN
iron and fully rs low III phosphorous
rs the Spanish ore, and being much
easier of access and the freight lower,
it can be manufactured at Il much
lower rate than the imported ores,
while the results attained are fully as
satisfactory.
Quick to perceive that Gogehic
iron was bound 10 force All entrance
To the Pennsylvania furnaces, the lie
high Valley Railway company is
building two enormous ore docks, one
1T Buffalo the other at Erie tc con-
meet with the railway terminus. The
Iehigh company has line of boats
engaged in TIE ore and coal trade,
and through contracts will be made
hs them to the mines.
The shipments 10 the Pennsylvania
furnaces will not lie 50 eX;cusi:e as

ready been made, but it Is expect, d
that between 100000 and $4,000
tons will he soil there II ith the
fact that the Wisconsin iron Viii find
