TWO HARBORS, Mimi, April %
Whatever might have been the intentions
of the United States Steel corporation and
other companies regarding the resump-
ton Of work to it's full capacity this year
On the ranges ii is doubtful whether the
weather would have permitted the open
ing Of the season at anything like an
early date But preparations are in evil
dence of the resumption Of work on all
of the stripping contracts. z. ]. Long
year, the mining drill contractor, has
twenty drills at work on the Mesaba
range. He says:
Drilling for iron ore will be more ac-
tive this year than many had supposed
would be the case several months ago.
There is still a great deal of drilling to be
done on the MeSaba. Notwithstanding re-
ports that the territory is fully explored.
Not only is there new ground that has
never been gone over, which will ulti-
mately be given attention, but there is
some territory where recent work indi-
Gates that the drilling was not thoroughly
done in the first place, and it may pay to
do it over again.
There are a number of drills at work
on the VermihOn range, and, according to
present reports, a number of additional
drills may soon be at work in that dis
trict.
