BIGGEST EXCAVATION EVE y
DTLTTW. MINI. Oct. l2.-As an indication
Of the immense undertaking OF the Oliver
Iron Mining Company on the western Mesabi
IL may be stated that the company is preparing
20 strip the surface from eighty acres TO the
depth Of eighty feet. making a total stripping
Of more than l3.OOO.0 mn cubic yards. This is
the largest private enterprise OF Earth removal
ever undertaken and will consume years and
require an immense equipment. The body
CG ore 20 be opened by this stripping * several
times as large as the earth overburden and
will be n source Of ore for many years. This
operation is 70 be at COleraine, where the
western Mesabi headquarters of the Oliver
company are. AZ Holman, q few miles AWAY.
The company ia now erecting washing plants
at COleraine for concentrating that portion
Of its western ore deposits that are TOO sandy
for shipment. These plan will be ready
for tPSts very soon. All this work is in that
part Of the Mesabi where the Hill ore lands
are and where the company IL now assuming
ownership of these Hill lands under its Great
Northern contract. All along the western
Mesabi the lands OF the United States Steel
and the Great Northern interlOck and join,
