Virginia were here this week look
ingsover the work now in progress

principal owner of this property,
and:it would appear that he is en-

difficult matter to learn just what
minfng men do think of the showing
made by their preliminary work, but
it isgenerally safe to guess that

COMMODORE MAY Snip.

James Corrigan. of the firm of
Corrigan. Mckinney & Co., the larg-
est independent operators on the
Minnesota ranges, has been looking
over Mesaba mining interests this
week.
The Commodore, the only hold
ing of the company in the Virginia
district, has a considerable amount
in stock and will ship enough to
cover royalties this year, and if the
lessee and fee-owner can come to an
amicable settlement of existing diff.
erences it is not unlikely that the
mine may be unwatered and again
become an active producer.
Corrigan, Mckinney & Co. oper-
ate the Stevenson, where active work
is already under way and from
which mine it is expected to ship
upwards of 100000 tons this year.
The latest acquisition of the firm
is the Jordon mine, formerly known
