quarter OF section A, 44.33 and the
average width of the deposit 80 far
shown is thirty feet. The ore has been
found IN its longitude about GOO feet,
without encountering any terminus
This mine was found by Matt Gibson in
July, 1897, he having been sent ON the
property with men, for exploratory pur-
poses, by u syndicate principally Re-
public parties) mt that time. The first
work was, very fortunately, done ut the

operated by Messrs. Pickands, Mather
and other Cleveland capitalists. Mr.. III.
T.. Warner, who is the present superin-
tendent, is a very genial gentleman, a
shrewd observer, "A careful and compe-
tent manager, and is much thought OF
by his employees. The company Is in
deed fortunate in getting So competent a
man to represent their interests.
When the Mansfield mine was opened,
and the claim OF Besscmer made for it's
product, the claim was not generally ac-
cepted. The property is in the Crystal
Falls district. and all the other mines
are Bessemer producers and 1t does
not stand To reason that one property
would be singled out and given a vein of
Bessemer ore" said the chronic croaker.
But the Mansfield was Bessemer at
opening, and tx the same to-day. The
average assay OF the 80 product was
63.9O metallic iron and .O34 phos-
phorus. The ore holds To its standard
OF excellency with depth, and has AN adj
tional gain in width and length. Next
year the great Crystal Falls iron district
will not only have the Mansfield as
Bessemcr producer, but there will be
several others. The ore Of the ToUin
find is 81 that character, the percentage
Of metallic iron being in the lead of any
thing yet found in the district. The
Shaier mine will also mine Bessemer,
the west end OF that property containing
"A vein OF that grade ore. This would
seem To Indicate that the time is not FAR
off when the district will produce as
much Bessemer AS any OF the older locn-
tiOns.

100 feet, the greater distance in what
now shows to be the foot wall but which
will eventually prove the hanging. The
ground IN ore, mixed with jasper. From
the bottom OF the shaft a cross-cut is
going south TO get the width. At ~
depth OF sixty-thrce feet the vein WAS
cross-cut, and WAS twenty-seven feet
wide The present work will be CON
tinucd until the width is determined,
when drift will be commenced and the
length established. Progress Of work at
this property is watched with consider
