where the first Mesabi ore was
discovered but there was never
much work done there as The at.
tention was given wholly 10 the
middle and westcen end of The
range, owing TO the large bodies
OF ore found there and their
economical mining advantages.
Last summer the Stevens mine
was found and 1900. 600 tons of
