Rich In Ore.

Faribault-Since the discovery Of
iron ore on the farms Of E. J. Leary
and George Marks, south of this city,
experts have been assaying and in
vestigating to learn the extent of the
deposits. Samples taken from the sur
face and tested show 80 to IS per cent
metal, and it is thought by the ex-
perts that there are even greater
values below.
The ore was discovered on the Leary
farm because of the frequency with
which lightning struck in that neigh
borhood Mr.. Leary procured a mag
netic needle and started prospecting,
which ended in the finding Of ore
known as brown hematite. Shortly
after he and his family located black
magnetic ore.
