about - miles. with width varying
from 2 10 10 miles. It's area il about

The development Of the district has
been marvellous In November 1890
iron ore was found just north Of what

ore were shipped in 1901, 1904. 800

in the central and western portions OF
the district. and Of the area Of the
iron formation in this portion Of the
district they occupy about per cent.
They lie near the surface and seldom
reach depth greater than 300 f.
Commonly the depth IS less than $50
