An outcropping of hard magnetic iron
ore has been found on property in sec.
ton So, 1915, about mile from the
Duluth, Missaba & Northern railroad
ana within four miles of Duluth. Anal
ysis shows the ore to run very low in
phosphorus, to be free from titanic acid,
and though not high in metallic iron, is
remarkably free from all Objectionable
features and therefore, worthy of exam
nation. A diamond drill has been set
at work on the property and it will be
thoroughly explored. No other out
cropping has been found, and from SUR
face appearances, it would seem to be
limited to this particular locality.
! What would you do if war should be
declared tomorrow with a European
power? How would it change your home
life, the lives Of your brother and other
relatives? How would it affect your
business connections and business?
What changes would it make in financial,
city, state and national affairs? It is
these interesting problems which a writ
er in the December Cosmopolitan has
undertaken to sketch under the heading
of "a Brief History of Our Late War
With Spain," at the same time wildly
describing the exciting scenes which
would attend the opening of hostilities.
This same number of the Cosmopolitan
has an article on 'The Welldressed Wo-
man" by Elsie de Wolf, a contrast of the
characters of Henry George and Charles
A Dana by John Brisben Walker, in
another place "The Loves of the Goethe
while Wells story, "The War of the
Worlds" which has bee b so widely read
reaches the conclusion in an unexpected
way.
