own I, 900 acres of mining property here
and that numerous other parties are alst
busily engaged in prospecting for mines
Five new ones are now completing their ar
rangements to begin work there early il
May.
The work done at the Diamond mines
proper by the owners and under the option
is said to have been pretty expensive and to
represent an outlay of S15, 900 or $40, ,000
Among other things it includes the sinking
OF nine shafts at from II to 80 feet deep,
several being about 65 feet down, and many
test pits; also the erection of extensive camp
buildings, barns, cellars Tor stores and pro-
visions, boiler and engine houses, black
smith shop and the outlay for labor and ma
ehiDerv.
Accompanying this article are illustra-
tions made from photographs which 1 took
on the spot and which will give a good idea
OF the principal mine, camp and surround
ings.
GREAT BOOM PROMISED.
The immediate effects of this mines
progress, especially as soon as it is officially
declared that the railroad branch will he
built in, will be of momentous character. 1t
will conclusively settle the already wide
spread belief that here is another rich and
extensive iron territory, which is probably
but continuation OF the Vermiiion and
Mesabi ranges. Large shipments will quick
ly begin and the entire area will hustle with
life.
The owners and lessees and the mining
captain unite in saving that they already
have ores on their stock piles, taken from
their shafts which are not yet down to the
true vein at any point, that are fit to ship,
and will run, rough and ready as 1t comes
at over 90 per cent of metallic iron and
within the Bessemer limit of phosporus.
am reliably informed that out of three SAM
pies the following analyses resulted: One
from the stock piles ran 81 per cent metallic
IRON, .O3I phosphorus and 1925 silica; an
otner and special sample ran 81 iron, .042
phosphorus and 10.14 silica; another, which
was rough and ready sample, just as it came,
ran 1888 iron, .038 phosphorus and 17.7S
silica.
THEY EXPECT EVEN MORE.
1t is the confident belief of the mining
captain that later. when they get down to
the true vein, the ore will certainly run at
an average of 81 to 63, and will be within
the Bessemer limit of phosphorus. There is
considerable lime and not much magnesia.
the silica runs high and the phosphorus ex-
ceptIonally low. The diamond drill. which
was being operated here last fall, after being
driven through 16 feet OF surface drift and
% feet into the ledge, penetrated IL feet into
blue hematite ore and then unfortunately
the rods broke off and left the bit with $500
worth Of diamonds or earbont in the hole.
