ended. THIS has recently changed 10
large extent and it has been dis
covered that there is ore outside the
properties of the Minnesota, Pioneer,
Chandler, Zenith. Sibley and Savoy
mines.
While it is true that it costs con-
siderable more to prospect on the
Vermilion than on the Mesaba, it is
also true that when a mine is once
opened, this range has much the best
of the Mesaba in quality and in some
cases quantity, Some of the old
"bogeys" regarding the enormous
cost of explorations have also recently
been expelled and it has been shown
that work can be done more cheaply,
easily and with decently surer results
than generally believed. AS a result
there is a scramble for Vermilion
properties and an exploratory spirit
has been manifest for some time. To
crown all, it is believed the Great
Northern interests are crOwding this
way and are determined to secure
heavy holdings with the ultimate in
tention of building their line to the
Vermilion and farther east.
Some, who claim to be in a position
to know, aver that the Hill interests
have large holdings on the eastern
Mesaba. The most eastern point of
the Great Northern, road is at Virginia
and the Mailman mine on the eastern
Mesaba is about half way between
Virginia and the Shagawa mine on
section 30. As the railroad has been
most prominently mentioned in con-
nection with both propositions, the
rumors look good to large number.
1t is also stated as fact that a for
mer railroad survey from Virginia
to Grand Marais via the eastern
Mesaba and the Vermilion has been
turned over to the Great Northern
people.
The finding OF mine by the Shag-
ava company on section 80 has done
much to give the Vermilion an i'm
