The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1901-12-21

The rumor that the Cleveland Cliffs
were 20 break ground at once for the
new shaft ON the recently acquired
holdings Ia the eastern part Of the
town, is not strictly true, as it will be
from four 10 six weeks before this part
Of the work is really commenced.
There are few who appreciate the vast
amount Of preparatory work TO be done
before sinking of any consequence can
be done A powerful plant Of machin-
cry must be installed and all Of the
necessarily buildings Of big mine loca-
tion excepting possibly the erection Of
residences In view Of the uncertain
character OF the work. it is the inten-
ton TO have ample power for.any liable
contingency that may develop in the
way Of water depth. etc.
AT the point decided on for the shaft
it is between two aud three hundred
feet 70 the ledge, something over 100
feet Of which is practically quioksand.
In order to open the ore deposits il is
estimated that shaft nearly one
feet deep viii be- required.
0nce commenced the work will be
pushed with all possible speed. As
the matter now stands there IL a con-
siderable force Of men employed and
viii be from this forward. so that the
effects Of the great prospective indus
try are already being favorably felt

THE REprRLlc MINE

The Republic mine + property
which for some years past has been
subject TO few underground changes.
There is. as is true Of other mines,
some months when the slopes are look
ing better then in others. but the aver
age is steady. just now No 9 shaft
is not looking quite so well in ore as
at similar period last year but to
make mp for this temporary falling off
No. is presenting a much better
appearance than for many years past.
At No. 3 shaft they are now beginning
the opening Of new level, the 1850
foot, which is 81 feet below the next
deepest at this portion of the mine.
IL is yet too early To predict what this
new level has in store for the company
as enough work TO determine the size
Of the deposit has not been done. The
company still continues its.exploration
ut the West Republic end of the prop
erty They have shaft 600 feet deep
and are hosting about 1000 tons per
month. They are getting new dollar
for an old one. here and are all the time
hoping to find something better than
yet reported In the way Of ore bodies
The mine shipped about 104, 900 tons
Of ore this season, and finished the
work the last day % November, at
which time also ends Is fiscal year.
A working force II about 400 men is
employed
10 point o. quality the Republic ore
is the finest mined Ia the Lake SUPER
ior region. being high in iron and low
in phosphorus. While Of the specular,
nard variety, it is reduced readily,
being very friable, and TINS far the
consumers have not insisted upon its
being crushed, it beins .ae only excep-
ton to this demand in the district.
