lions have been carried forward with
the utmost secrecy, all rock and sand
or particles of ore that come from the
drill being carefully put into bags and
removed.
Facts Concerning Deposits.
The facts obtainable in regard to the
mineral deposits are these:
The range has it's beginning north
east of Deerwood, a small summer re-
sort about midway between Brainerd
and Aitkin. From there it runs in q
general southwesterly direction for
about eighteen miles to the old Swartz
driving park, east of Brainerd. 1t
passes thru a. stretch of country vary
of it can be called really hilly. In no
place along the whole range are there
outcroppings, and pieces of float ma
terial are rare.
The vein itself as shown by dip
needle declination and drill tests IS
what is known as vertlcle, at It's
nearest point, about seventy-fve feet
two walls of black rock, the upper one
sometimes as much as thirty feet IN
thickness. The formation is peculiar,
differing entirely from the deposits OF
the Mesaba range, which occurr IN
patches at varying depths below the
surface, and often exhibiting surface
outcroppings. 1t is said to be more
like that of the Gogebic range in
Michigan than any other known depos-
in width, running from considerably
more than that to a mere point, and
in places reaches a depth of 800 feet.
The ore itself is what is known az
hematite or soft iron. AS yet no
rock ore has been discovered.
500 May Build In. -
An important business movement in
directly connected with the develop
| ing mining interests in the county is
the projected plan of the 500 railway
to build line to Brainerd. Invests
cations have already been made in the
Mile Laos country with view to To-
eating a townsite near Mile Laos lake,
and representatives of the line are ex-
pected in Brainerd to go over part
of the ground and study the business
conditions and mineral outlook moro
thoroly.
The project under consideration cons
templates tapping the main line of the
500 at Kimball Prairie, running from
there north to st. Cloud, thence on
northeast to Mile Laos, striking the
| lake at some point along its southwest
shore, and thence east into. Brainerd,
| with a freight spur running north into
the country around Jonesville and
Deerwood, where the mining operations
are being carried on. &C.
| The first options on the land were
taken about two years ago. Piece af-
ter piece was contracted for with farm
ers and outside owners until the whole
range, except few scattered pieces,
has been brought under the control of
the mining interests. Property along
the line of the vein has risen from SIS
an acre to ten times that amount.
