Every one knows that iron ore abounds
IN places in This vicinity, samples being
brought in from time to time. Nothin.
has ever been done to ascertain the quail
ity of this ore. although The quantity is
almost incXhaustible. Last week, j. B.
Shelton went out to several spots where
this ore crops out on the surface and se-
cured about 100 pounds of these surface
specimens, part of The red and the rest Of
the black ore. Tails will be sent away
for analysis, and if the the percentage ol
iron in the ore is satisfactory steps will
be taken to make this dormant power
aid in building up Shelton. The loca-
tions are all near the line of one of our
railroads, aud can lie very easily dug and
transported to This point-tbe only way il
can reach tide water Should this prove
as good an ore as anticipated, it could be
dug and shipped To the Ryan smeller at
Tacoma, much cheaper than ore from
east OF the mountains, in case i! was not
worked IF tn il mint
