of the Marquette Iron range will be
worked with greater activity the

season since the discovery of the
oldest properties. All the larger
companies of the range are prepar-

begin mining operations at every
idle mine and pit where ore of
marketable quality is to be found.
Among the mines which have been
idle and are soon TO be producing
ore are the Hartford, Mesaba, Friend,
Volunteer, Tilden, and possibly the
