Diamond Drilling Was Begun There
:: Last Week. f. KY.

The exploratory work under way
on the old Taylor iron property.
six miles south of L'Anse, on Sec
ton 9. has been conducted hereto
fore by means of pits and trenches.
But diamond drill was received
recently and did it's first work last
week Wednesday. The results
from this sort of exploration will
be attained much quicker than
from shaft work, as the drill will
be able to make in the neighbour
hood of twenty feet day. The
drill was brought from the Mesaba
range.
The company working on the
Taylor is made up for the most
part of mens from Virginia, MINI.
The work is in charge of Superin-
tendent Griffith. Pit explorations
will be conducted simultaneously
with diamond drill work.
A diamond drill has also been
secured for exploration by the Bes.
semer Iron company, new organi-
zation, which is opening lands ad-
joining the Taylor property, on Sec
ton and section 9. The machine
will be received in a few days. 1t
will then be set up to work as
quickly as possible. A large
amount of test pitting has been
done by the Bessemer company,
which is composed mostly of Du-
luth mining men. Superintendent
James D. Wade is in charge of the
work.-Houghton Gazette.
