the vendors. LAST winter the propo-
sition was brought to the attention
of Mr.. Kimberley. who has handled
more iron property than probably any
other man in the country-his deals on
the great Mesaba range alon aggre-
eating over $500. 900. 000-and, after lis
tening to the report of his expers, Sohn
L. Jonesh. who has served him for
twenty years or more. he decided to
take a hand. The preliminaries lead
ing up to the climax of the transac-
ton have been in progress for months,
but so well guarded has been every
move that il was only during the past
few days, or since the arrival of Mr..
Kimberley and the homecoming of
Witcher Jones. that any accurate idea
of what was in the wind was obtain
able.
The monster deposits of iron en-
braced in the property secured can be
imagined more easily when it is known
that Mr. Kimberley's expert declared,
after visiting the mines, that he had
seen more iron ore in one day of his
trip than he had ever seen in a week
before in his life. and there is not
deposit of iron in the country with
which he is not perfectly familiar The
ore in the district named averages
over so per cent metallic iron. and
ANALYSES show that it is purer and
freer from phosphorus and other de-
literious substances than any other
iron in this country.
Structural Steel Plant.
At the close of the transaction, Mr..
Kimberley was asked what would be
done with the property and ne said
it would be mined and prospected thor
oughly. but farther than that he was
not willing at this time to disclose his
| plans.
It is a foregone conclusion, how
ever, that the day is not far distant
when works will be established for the
conversion. of the ore into all kinds of
structural iron and steel. and in this
kind of enterprise the population Of
J the state and its Importance as an in
] dustrial center must forge ahead in
/ a manner that will be surprising.
The iron mines of Utah are nearer
! TO the San Pedro harbOr on the west
coast than is Pittsburg to the Atlantic
/ coast and the day is approaching when
a market for all the steel and iron that
can be produced at this point win find
an outlet there. The building of the
new railroad now under way, Will
solve the problem of transportation.
other features OF the enterprise now
being incubated by ny Kimberley ana
his associate are promised in the near
/ future
