RICHEST FIND IN YEARS.
Bes.emer Ore in the Old Channel OF the

Iron Mountain, Mich. Oct 4.-The
find of Bessemer ore in the old channel
of the Michigamme river at the Mans
field mine promises to be the richest
and most extensive that has been dis
covered in the upper peninsula in re-
cent years. Investigation proves that
the deposit is over 1000 feet In length
and is supposed to have a great width
and depth. AS soon as the lower dam
Is completed, which will prevent the
water in the new channel from back
ing up into the old. the find will be
tested. In many places the ore Is SO
soft that it Is thought 1t can be mined
with a steam shovel loading directly
into cars. The cost of changing the
channel Of the river has not exceeded
| $50. 900. and the ore in sight Is worth
many times that sum.
