DULUTH BECOMES ~
A MINING CAMP.
While the Vermilion was developing
up to this point Duluth was growing in
to mining center. Prospectors and
spectators and some capitalists were
working and talking. But the capital
lists were not SO cocKsure or what there
was hidden in the wilds Of the Mesaba
range as the prospectors and the specu-
lators were. There were men in the lot
who had a marvellous knowledge of the
country on the range. They had lived
on it and studied it, had dug holes and

shore Of Superior. A scientific observer,
J.. G.. Norwood, recorded in 1850 that
he had found iron ore on the shores Of
Gunfint lake, on the edge of the Mesaba
range. But the world was not ripe for
the discovery of the great ore bodies
upon a trace Of which Norwood had
stumbled. AS matter of fact the ore
found by Norwood is not yet of any
economical Importance. :-s.s : 7: =.
In 1864-5, H. H. 'Eames, an Official
geologist, located ore of commercial
value and in paying quantities though
it is not apparent that Mr.. Eames as
serted that it was Of commercial value
or in paying volume. The body he dis
covered was developed years later, as
the Soudan mine of the Oliver group.

saved the situation. When Chester de-
SPARED of finding the ore he was look
ing for and was about ready to give up
the search, Stuntz induced him to go
over on to the Vermilion range by show
ing him some excellent samples Of hard
hematite. Investigation changed the
character of Chester final report, and
as result Of that report Mr.. Tower
undertook the organization Of a work
ing corporation and the Minnesota Iron
company was the result. The state was
asked for and made a grant of swamp
lands to aid in building a railroad, and
the Duluth and Iron, Range road was
got under way. Tower and his asso-
.ciates put $4,o00,0oO into the develop
ment, and in 1884 brought down over
their own road and shipped SO 900 tons

titude Of capital; the requirements Of
the world-all were being shaped to the
impending denouement which was to
change the destiny Of Duluth, to infu-
,ence the fortunes of countless people,
and to bring in the age of steel with a
clang that is ringing yet in the ears
of nations.
In the later eighties Duluth was a
mining camp. Not in the ordinary sense
of a badly built, temporary resort for
miners. Duluth had been built for per-
manent occupation, without regard to
the ore development. But it was alive
with men who had a mining prospect
or could produce one. It also contained
among it's citizens other men who had
been formed by nature to meet the
exigencies Of the age. These men were
in tune with their times. Their knowl-

to know all the signs. And they were
sure that there was a store Of iron
there if it could be turned up. And
the wonder of it was that the immense
deposits were not found before, for the
face Of the earth was pitted with pros

the prospector was raised in clamorous
demand for the wherewith to work on
