BACK IN IRON MINING
Thomas =. Cole Interested in Marquette
Range Explorations.

Range EXPLORATIONS
Thomas f. Cole Is back again in the
iron ore mining business. When Mr..
Cole recently retired frou, the presi
denoy OF the Oliver Iron Mining com
pany IL wis thought that his large
copper interests would take all OF his
time and attention but such is not the
case. He has come back 10 his first
love and is now actively engaged. with
Duluth capitalists. in explorations on
the Marquette range. The explora-
tions are located In the Cascade district
and in speaking Of the work the Min
ing Journal says;
1T is very generally expected among
the mining and business men of Ne
gaunee that I. +. Cole ard his associ-
ates will soon b. gin sinking shaft on
the Cascade range. More than a year
ago the Volunteer Ore company. OF
which Mr.. Cole. @. A. Tomlinson and
Chester M. Congdon. all OF Duluth.
are the leading shareholders. purchased
from the A Alger estate the Volunteer
mine. together with large acreage
near the property. The Duluth Dia-
mond Drilling company was given
contract to explore the tract and three
drills have been working there contin-
uonsly for some months.
'Long before becoming financially
interested on the range. Mr.. Cole be-
lieved that better quality of ore than
that produced at the mine OF that dis
trict would eventually be located. and
while no facts as 10 what has been
found with the drills have been given
out IL is very generally understood that
the showing is OF sufficient Importance
10 warrant the sinkingof a shaft. which
will probably be located near Palmer
lake. about a mile and half north
west Of the location. The drills have
been working IN that vicinity and the
holes are OF greater depth than any
previously put down on the range.
"1here is an unlimited quantity of
silicious non Bessemer ore in that dis
trict and extensive bodies are known
to-exist on. the lands under control OF
the Volunteer Ore company. Much OF
the ore outcrops and could be mined at
a comparatively small cost per ton.
There would be little water to pump
and the equipment need not necessarily
be OF an expensive character. Open
pit mining could be carried on success.
fully In many places on the range, and
il is also thought that steam shovels
could be employed TO good advantage.
"The Volunteer Ore company, may
also in time do something with the
Volunteer mine, which has been idle
for a few years past. There Is still a
large tonnage Of ore in the old work
ings. None OF the principal veins
have been exhausted and there are also
many large blocks of ore still remain.
ing In the pillars. The buildings at
the mine, also the machinery. have
been kept in the best Of repair and
operations conld be started on short
notice. The company's buildings at
the location are also In good condition
and practically all OF the dwellings are
now occnpied.
