The CLARK AND CHISHOLM.

The Clark mine has a stock pile
of 125.OO0 tons, which will be in
creased to 100000 tons by the time
the shipping season commences.
For several weeks past hoisting
from the mine has been confined to
No. 2 shaft, but No. went into COM
mission again Thursday. During
the time that No. l shaft was in
active, diamond drill was in oper.
alton at the bottom, for the purpose
of ascertaining the depth of the ore
body at that point. In fact the ex-
tent of the ore body at the Clark
mine is not definitely known, aud it
is understood that drill work will
be continued until the approximate
dimensions of the ore body are es-
tablished. Shaft No. l, which is 100
feet deep, is being lowered an ad-
ditional 80 feet, from which another
level will be cut out. Another shaft
will shortly be added to the proper
ty.
The Chisholm mine is forging to
the front very rapidly for a new
property, and is employing all the
men that room can be made for.
About $1,000 tons of ore are now on
stock dock, and it is expected the
pile will weigh 125yO0O tons by the
opening of the shipping season. At
present the mine is being worked
through one shaft, but a second
shaft will be located and put down
as soon as the necessary arrange
ments can>he completed. The wa
ter, which was considerable of a
problem in the early days of the
mine. is now easily taken care of by
the new pumps installed. A new
return tubular boiler is being add.
ed to strengthen the battery, and
the whole now provides the CHS
holm with an excellent plant of ma.
chinery throughout. - H b b i n 9

. LARGE EORCE.

The United States Steel corpora
tion has about 400 men working
in the mines in the Ely district on
the Vermilion range, and there is
considerable activity there. At
Tower about 800 are employed in
the Minnesota mine. At the latter
place, lodes are being reopened that
fere thought to have been all work
Cd out and development of new
leads is being pushed. TIE COM
pany has practically decided to
build the big ore crusher at Two
Harb0rs, which was talked about
eome weeks ago. Ore will be
brought down from all the hard
Ore mines that are not equipped
With crushers and handled just be-
fore being taken to the docks. 1t
Fould not be surprising to mining
men if eventually all of the Vermil-
ipn ore was crushed in this way. If
9he saving in the hauling of coal
to the: mines is as great as is an
&cipated, it is said that it would
pay the company to close the
Grushers at the mines or remove

Gates Hard Ore Body Near:
;
Tower Junction -.
TOWERITES ARE ELATED.

The discovery of what is believed
to be one of the most valuable finds
OF ore on the Vermilion range is re-
ported from Tower, the body hav-
ing been proven by drill work done
by the Minnesota Iron company
during the past four months in the
swamp just south of Tower juno
ton.
The new body lies Immediately
adjoining the main line of the Du;
luth & Iron Range railroad, and in
such close proximity to the Mime:
sofa mines that it may be worked
by the same machinery plant. !
The diamond drills have pene.
taated body of blue hard ore, such
as is found at the Minnesota mines
close by, and below this at some
depth was found grade of ore very
much like that of the Chandler and
Pioneer at Ely-a hard ore, crushed
by natural processes. J.
The finding of large body Of
hard ore near the Minnesota mines
is of special interest, says the News
Tribune. 1t is claimed by one au:
thority that the Minnesota Iron
company has been seeking for adj
ditional deposits in the vicinity of
Soudan and Tower Junction for
many years, and always without
success u..til now. It has often been
reported in recent years that the
life of the Minnesota mines would
be short unless new deposits were
found. Geological experts and 9TH
er men wise in such matters came
from various parts of the country
at the request of the company: Their
suggestions were followed, but
without success. Then the Mime
sofa Iron company was taken over
by the United States Steel corpora
ton and T.tF. Cole was put at the
head If the mining business IIe
put Capt. John PengiIly in charge
of the Minnesota mines, and explor-
ations for ore at this property, and
the latter has been successful. Capt
Pengilly does not pay much atten-
ton to geological theories in regard
to the probable location of ore, but
is guided largely by experience.

SELLWUOD'S PROPBECP.

Capt. Joseph Sellwood, who has
acquired considerable distinction
by very accurately torecasting the
seasons shipment of iron ore for
several years past, estimates that
there will be forwarded from the
Lake Superior region the present
year about 100000 gross tons, an
increase of 100000 tons over the
season of 1901. .-:......~
This estimate is more conserva-
tive than that of some others who
watch the movement of ore, some
of whom figure the total will reach
the 25,O00,O00 mark, but iron and ves-
sci men at the head of the lakes in
general support the expressed view
of Mr.. Sellwood An increase of
100000 tons could be cared for
without special effort on the part Of
producers and transportation lines,
but it is doubtful if an increase Of
twice that amount could be cared
for at lower lake ports. sss ,,1.ez. q.

Virginia's New Mine Being
Developed Into a Big
Proposition. r..
TWO SHAFTS IN ORE.

Work at the Lincoln, one of the
new properties of the Virginia dis
trict, show conclusive evidence
that the new owners, the Inter-
State Iron company, intend open
ing and developing same into one
OF the largest mines of the district.
The Lincoln comprises the south
half of the southwest quarter and
the southeast q quarter IF the south
east quarter of the northwest
quarter of section and the
northwest quarter of section 4, 58-17,
the property being purchased from
the Kimberly interests in a partial
ly developed state last summer.
Aside from an amount of drill work
done in proving the ore body no ac-
tive work was done On the property
until late in theseason, when under
the direction OF Supt. Fairbairn a
large four compartment shaft was
sunk at point a short distance
northeast of the Commodore, and
the work of surface and under
ground improvement development
has since been carried steadily for
ward. Fine mine buildings, includ-
ing office, engine house, dry, black
smith and carpenter shop and ware
house have been erected and a
splendid machinery equipment in
stalled. The A shaft is down to a
depth of ITO feet, 40 feet in ore, and
drifting and rooning to the north,
preparatory for active and telling
work at the opening of the shipping
season, is in progress. : Another
shaft, to be known as shaft B, is be-
ing sunk at point further east,
now being down IS feet, the ore
body being encountered at a depth
of 80 feet, and it is the expectations
to- have a. neat sstockpiles at this
shaft 40 we'll at the opening 81 nav-
Lat fLga At tf,i is shaft new ssliaft.
and engine house are now being
completed.
Among other surface improve
ments are large boarding house
which will be completed about
March 18th, and a magnificent two
story office building 30x36, which
will be in readiness for occupation
about April 1st.
Supt. Fairbairn is not placing an
estimate on the probable output Of
the property for the coming season,
but states that he has orders to for
ward all ore possible during the
season. At the present time about
Is men find employment at the
mine, and it is expected to- have
room for fully three times that
number by the opening of naviga-
ton.
Since taking charge of the pro-
perty the Interstate company has
put down twenty drill holes, all of
which encountered the ore body
All this work has been on the south
half of the southwest of 4 with the
exception of the last hole, which is
now in ore on the southeast of the
southeast of 5. It is the intention
to put down a row of holes across
this forty, proving the ore body to
the Sauntry line.
The Interstate company owns
three Mesaba properties, the Lin
coin, Grant and mbia, the first
two being now in active operation.
The Lincoln Office will be head
quarters for range operations, and
the value of the new property to
Virginia is assured.
