is located ON what il known on the
maps as 1873 f. 1t hes inst south OF
the Canadian Northern track. IL is
said That the vein is 80 feet to $50 feet
wide. as far as preliminary exploratory
operations have developed Little work
has been done, because the discovery
was made so recently. In fact the de-
post has at no point been more than
scratched The ore is said TO be COW
cred with surface of FIVE to fifteen
feet, so that open pit mining methods
could be employed to the best advantaes
The Atikokan range as far as located
up to date is about twenty-four miles
long. The easterly twelve miles Of
this range is what is known as the ma
gnitite range. on which the Hunter
property. about which much was heard
last year, is situaed. The westerly
twelve miles in length is said by Mr..
Wiley TO be deposit of red hematite
ore, running from 50 tol 90 per cent in
iron. and resembling in its general
characteristics the hard ore mined on
the Vermilion range There is one
particular in which the Atikokan ore
differs from Vermilion, and that is
that ii runs high in sulphur. This
difficulty. however, can be obviated
by roasting il ont. The extra cost Of
working is 35 or 40 cents ton.
The Atikokan range, or the westerly
part OF it, Is about 1873 miles from Port
Arthur. At one point the range, as
located thus tar, extends back six miles
north from the track and on the
south il runs back mile The explor-
ers have been assured by the Canadian
| Northern railway il is said, that the
freight rate on the Minnesota ore haul
| ing roads will be duplicated on tine
J traffic il hauls from the Atikokan range
TO Port Arthur.
+; The float discoveries that have beer
made on the new range are considered
so important that four diamond drills
have been installed this spring. On'
of them is operated by the Oliver Min
ing company.

Wiley have the fourth. Mr.. Wiley say
that the formation on this range |
much the same as the Vermilion, ex

THE MESABI

II is said that the Auburn mine,
which. is situated south Of Virginia,
has been closed down for an indefinite
period The property Is owned by the
steel corporation, having been acquired
by the absorption Of the Minnesota
Iron company. It's product has been
shipped over the Duluth q Iron Range
to Two Harbors IL is understood that
the pumps nave already been pulled
and the workings are filling with water.
The reason for the abandonment Of
operations nc the Auburn il said TO be
a desire to work the properties that
the corporation holds on royalty and
minimum production basis These
have TO be wrought or the minimum
provided for in the lease paid at any
rate The policy Is said 10 be let the
corporation properties held on fee
basis lie idle ~ far as possible, COM

THE ToBIN.

Conditions at this property are about
the same az when we last told our rea-
ders of the mine. The Tobin Is
yet an unknown quantity The indica-
tions are that il will develop into
something Of value Int, so far, there
are no great result q TO report from the
exploratory work done. The ore, as
we have already told orr readers. takes
a north west and southeast trend
On the first level the drift broke
through into sand and boulders at a
distance Of about 100 feet TO the south
east of the shaft Another lift was
sunk and a drift run under the first
level drift at depth of 800 feet from
surface and this drift showed a length
of nearly 300 feet and the operators
felt iubilant This drift breasted, as
did the shorter one above, in sand and
then the miners were set at work rails
ing mp at points along the level with
the intention of milling the back OF
ore which was supposed TO stand 300
feet long and 100 feet high but when
these raises reached height Of IA feet
above the level sand was encountered
so that instead of havllg "A big body
of ore 20 take down There was nothing
but thin back Another sink was
made which has been completed and
drifting IS started 70 prove up the
ground down in the same direction

its length and width the same As on
the third level the mine will be all

FROM THE MINES
THE HOPE.

Work IN the slopes and levels Of this
mine has been suspended for some
time aud the workmen turned their
attention TO getting the shaft ready
for hosting ore and the steam and
hosting plant ready to pull the skips.
In the shaft, new skip road has been
put in from top TO bottom. IL is all in
now excepting small section of the
back runners A bucket has been used
for all operations at this property here
tofore.
A single drum hoist has been install
ed. II is a strong one capable of hand
ling three ton skip full Of ore. A
new boiler has been installed in the
boiler roofs- the mason finishing their
labors Wednesday and the balance OF
the week being given TO getting the
stack up and finishing mp odds and
ends so as to fire up for next week.
While the work in the shaft and en-
CINE house has been in progress, the Z.
NJ. a. St. Paul railroad company has
been putting in the tracks and ballast
ing up so as to be ready to haul ore al
soon as the miners are ready to send
it through the shaft. The work Of
balasting will probably be completed
today and some ore will be hauled
next week.
There is nothing new to report from
the under ground workings Of the
mine as no new developments have
been made
The Hope is not "A bonanza but il il
the hope of the operators that it vii
yet open out into a large mine.

IRON RIVER

Drifting was commenced at the Nc
ellis property this week, the shaft
having been carried down TO depth OF
80 feet The drift is in about 10 feet
and good grade of ore is being hoisted.
Supt. Crippen IS quite well pleased
with the showing SO far mad e. but
believes that the shaft will have TO be
sunk deeper ia order TO reach the ore
proper Reporter
The ledge, in the west side of the
shaft, at the Caspian property, was
encountered Tuesday at depth of 90
feet and merchantable quality of ore
has since been hoisted proving that
the ore body is not very far away.
Capt Reid is Of the opinion that the
shaft will be bottomed in the solid
ledge in another four or five feet of
sinking, thus making it 40 feet less
than was at first planned
This difficult undertaking was ac
complished in little over eight weeks
Of actual sinking The shaft is one Of
the best sunk in this vicinity, and
is large enough for double skip way,
with ladder, pipes and timber com
partments BY the first Of the month
the work Of developing the property
will be we'll under way Capt Reid,
who mas had charge Of the entire work,
has again proven his fitness for such
difficult undertaking He has accomp-
lished his work without any mishaps
or any great difficulty The Verona
Co. desires to have him remian and
take charge of the property but
whether ne will do so, after he gets it
opened mp he has not yet decided.
The Caspian will probably be added
TO the shipping list before the close
OF navigation. as the spur from the
Dober mine will be extended to it ia
few weeks, the survey having al
ready been made Reporter

sufficient quantities to convince of it's
