the WONDERFUL M6SdDl range
G. S. Ostrum, Chicago Travelling
Man Living in st. PAUL can say that
am agreeably surprised at what saw
mining districts of the United States
for years, and for a new, undeyeloped
country this Mesabi range beats any
thing l ever saw. [ only examined the
Cincinnati and Biwabic, but thought
little more of the Cincinnati than L
did of the other. Of course l ain not an
expert. but that was my judgment.
H. M. Crosby, st. Paul-As business
man only am very much surprised at
the developments on the range. There
seems to be enough iron ore there TO
supply the Northwest for good many
years to come.
Edward Murphy, Marquette. Mich
From what l have seen OF this ore here
it compares favOrably with the ore on
the Marquette range. l rather thoughg
that the Cincinnati was the best specl-
men had seen. 1t is better developed
than any | have seen.
A Legislator Talks.
F. B. Mills, eX-Speaker of the Wis
conSin LegiSIature-l am rather at a loss
for language to express my wOnderment
at the developments already made and
the developments that are yet TO be
made. l think the prospects good for
the greatest iron field in the world. and
l believe that the head Of the lakes VIII
soon be first Pittsburg.
l.. A. Waterman, Superlor-lt is far
ahead of my expectations. All l can
say is that there is wonderful amount
of ore in sight on the properties we
looked at today. We examines the Gin
cinnati, KanaWha and Bewabic. The
properties are all way ahead OF my eX-
pectatiOns.
j. III. Harper, West SUPERIOR am
more than pleased with the trip and
what have seen up there, and believe
that, if that bed of iron reaches into the
next three towns, there is as much iron
there as Will be used for generations.
| was particularly well pleased with the
KanaWha and Hale properties, and be-
leve that they will be the most valua-
BILE because they can be worked more
economically and will come into the
market quicker.
WiImot Saeger, West Superior, Cash
Ter Keystone National Bank-I am very
much pleased with the developments,
which have been a great surprise to
me. | think there is very great fut-
ure for the head of the lakes. | think
the Cincinnati and Hale properties are
something wonderful.
l.. FL. Whipple. Duluth am very
much pleased and favorably impressed
with the Cincinnati and Kanawha. l
think that the Cincinnati is going to be
a mint for the owners. The KanaWha 1
think great deal OF.
It's Vast Find.
Fl. Y. Winchell, Minneapolis have
already had my say, but l think that
Duluth should appreciate such vast
find of iron. The proper thing to do is
to take advantage of it and utilize 1t
here in the form of manufactures. 1t is
going to be more benefit to manufacture
it, with the industries growing out of it,
than to ship it.
g. Markell, Duluth visited the
Bewabic, Cincinnati and Hale properties
and have been very much pleased in
deed with what l have seen. think
that the story has only half been told.
w. A. Richardson, President Stock
Exchange, Duluth-The stores that
have been told are more than verified
by the developments. L consider that it
is the greatest thing for Duluth and the
state of Minnesota that ever happened
to them. The great discoveries GER
tainly establish sufficient basis for the
change, which will furnish a very act
i've market.
Walter V. Brunt. of the firm of G. III.
Graves & Co., Duluth never took any
stock in iron until lately, but the re-
ports have not been exaggerated at all.
1t is simply big pile of iron ready to
go to work on, and with the proper hand
ling of our stock exchange and develop
ment of the iron mines, we ought to
have 100, 900 inhabitants in five years.
Howard Thomas, Civil Engineer, West
Superior-It is a wonderful deposit of
iron, and very favorable for working,
more so than any iron have ever seen.
What is talked of most | looked at to-
day, the Cincinnati. Bewabic and the
Hale. 1t is simply stupendons, the
enormous amount OF iron in sight on
those properties. when you come TO con-
slider quality an the ease with which 1t
can be mined.
No ExaggeratiOn.
]. B. Benson, Duluth think the
outlook very good. Nothing has been
exaggerated at all. Everything is genu-
inc, and great quantities OF ore are in
sight. The Cincinnati, Bewabic and
Hale, think. exceptionally we'll of.
A. S. Robertson, Duluth am from
Cumberland, one of the largest mining
districts in England, and L think the
prospects on the range are wonderful.
In the Biwabc it is pretty good, but
there is better showing of ore in the
Cincinnati. There is also a splendid
showing on the Kanawah. From all app
pearances each one is excellent, and
parties who intend investing In iron
stocks cannot do better than take to
either of those.
Mat Jensen. State Capitol, st. Paul
l think it is very good. The showing
at the Cincinnati mine is greater than
in the Biwabic. No doubt the latter is
good, but for my own preference l
would take the Cincinnati. 1t seems to-
me that the stock ought to be as good,
even better than the Biwabic.
S. A. Kemp, Duluth-We have been
and seen for ourselves the wealth of the
Mesabi range, and [ do not consider
that there is any place in the world
where iron mining can be as cheaply
and practically performed.
Nels Hall. Duluth have been there
and seen it, and am we'll satisfied with
my investment in Cincinnatti and know
that it is an awful good thing to have.
Ole S. Hard, Home of the Whale
backs''-If we didn't have any iron up
U6rG we WOulul have ilO WIldleDdckS
Or steel plant in Superior. 1t is the
greatest thing for West Superior and
Duluth that could have happened to
them,
Something Unprecedented.
E. M. Mabie, Minneapolis de-
yelopments on the range are unprece-
dented. This Minneapolis company is
going to be a dandy. There will be
only from S25O,OOO to s3OO,OOO of the stock
put on the market for preliminary ex-
penses and advertising, the balance of
the stock being held by the owners as
permanent investment.
Beriah Magoffin, Kentucky was
very sanguine. and expected to see
great many wonderful things. I have
seen iron from the Gogebic properties,
but have seen enough today to satisfy
anybody that the iron on the Mesabi
range is of unlimited quantity and yalu-
able quality.
COLI. H.Dayidson, st. Paul-Of course
we can only see the pits, but they are
all good, and it looks as if the whole
