southwest quarter oil the northwest
quarter Of section twenty, 43-31, i'm
mediatelv south Of the Mansfield mine, a
pit is down fifty feet and the ledge has
not vet been found. Owing to water IL
is almost impossible TO 20 any deeper
without machinery and the work will be
moved 10 the north, where il Is thought
the surface is not 80 great. In the new
pit the management will calculate ON
going down at least fifty feet and will
make extra preparations tu handle the
water in case il Is troublesome at that
depth. The work is on the trend OF the
Mansfield vein.
Lying between the Dunn and Mestodon
mines ~ a strip al country which has
never been explored for iron ore, though

and west course and Is very REGULAR con-
tnuing so TO the west end OF the county,
where are located the mines OF the Iron
River district. There is no reason why
mines should not be found in the east
end as well as on the west. IL offers a
splendid field for the explorer.
