Swami Iron,

The recent ind Of ore on the Jonn
Tripplet homestead, section G-4S-i7, Is
causing some stir among local min
ing men. though rs yet no effort at
any actual test has been made. the To-
cality being almost inaccessible for
any but foot travel. The ore deposit,
if such there is. is said 10 be of the
bog" variety. lying horizontally rs on
the Mesaba. in Il big swamp. Should
further investigation, and which only
actual test rittlng can prove. show up
ore in paying quantities. the close
proximity 10 the lake. only some three
miles. would provel il ayFonanzR to
owners and opcratdrs. The swahpy
country around viii greatly retard any
attempts at practical exploration. un-
less some extra promising surface In
dicatlons should be found.
