Mr.. Huntington died before his plans
for the establishment of a great iron
and steel plant at the base of this
wonderful deposit could be put into
erect. Preparations are now being
made to extend the railroad which he
built from its present southern termi
nus at Durango to the port of Ma.
zatlan on the Pacific coast. The iron
mountain has been owned by Ameri.
cans for number of years, and its ore
mas been used in furnace at Durango.
The iron mountain at Durango was
visited by Humboldt and was pro.
nounced by him to be one of the won
ders of the world. The ore outcrop-
ping rises to a height of several hun.
dred feet out of the plain and covers
big area. The deposit extends into
the earth to an unknown depth. The
remarkable position and location OF
this mountain of iron causes some sci
entists to believe that it is a giant
meteor which fell to the earth ages
ago.

"Ffshy flavor is caused by a slow.
