There are several other explorations
being carried ON and more about to be
started which will help TO make this the
very busiest spot in the whole state OF
Michigan.
In the Iron River district, section four
teen, 1896, about ten miles northwest
OF the village OF Iron River, il n very
promiuing exploration, or II all reports
be true orhallso, a promising young iron
mine. The option is owned 10y the
Crown Mining company and AN offer Of
a A.,
company commenced exploring early in
the summer and continued without sue
cess until about six weeks ago when Rob
Percel took hold Of the work and moved
70 another part Of the option, where the
,0re was encountered in the first pit put
down. Another shaft was then started
twenty feet across the formation and al
so bottomed in ore. A move was then
made forty feet across the formation
and the ore was again cut, thus showing
that the vein has width of over sixty
feet. There * no machinery on the
ground and the ore cannot be penetrated
any great distance. The company will
place machinery aud develop the find.
For the work done the showing is great
and there il hardly doubt but that an
other mine.will soon be added Co the list
euf Iron county iron ore properties.
The Michigan Exploring Company is
rtill at work in the Hemlock district. A
line of test pits ranging in depth from
nine To fourteen feet have been carried
across the formation up TO the borders
oi u swamp. which leaves 300 feet Of un-
explored ground. The test work shows
states and considerable lean ore. The
work is on the southeast quarter OF sec
ton nine, 14-33. The company also
bold the northwest quarter Of the same
section on which a shaft WIS lowered
lO5 feet, when the watercame too heavy
for the pumps and the work was discon-
tmued. The shaft will bee pumped out
and some more work done therein this
fall. The trend 90 the formation in this
locality Is very irregular: some points

The Hemlock River mine is rapidly
