ON THE VERM|L|ON
Section 80 Will Prove Turning Point Of Activ-
ity For This Range
The Enormous Strike at the Mine of Incalcul-
able Benefit
keep YOUR EYE ON THE VERMILION"
Every Prospect Soon to Be
and Now Going On

The news from Section 80 where
Geo. A. St. Clair and associates is
showing up an immense body of
ore, is certainly the most cncourag-
ing that has happened for some
time on the old Vermilion. The
ore being shown up there will prove
an influence that will cause the
dormant properties on this range
to take on renewed energy and vul-
carly speaking, to go some"
1t is now an assured fact that a
mine exists on Section 80. The
past two weeks have shown some
wonderful developments. The
fact that a week ago it was known
that ore shown on this property
was sufficient to establish it as a
mine, developments this week have
demonstrated it a large mine with
a deposit similar to the Pioneer ore
and sufficient as one man placed it
to ship 100000 tons next year.
Saturday, the drift had penetrat-
ed So feet of ore and the drift has
been in ore ever since. Another
drift, on the next level 100 feet
below has encountered the same
lead. Another drift has passed
into 6S feet of ore. So plain is the
showing that several who have
been skeptical of the outcome have
conceded that Section 80 has gone
beyond the prospective stage and
is an assured fact.
On the strength of this, many
in this vicinity are being
explored with increased activity
and many others will be worked.
Several deals are pending whereby
much development work will fol-
low on the Vermilion.
Cole & Mcdonald are running a |
diamond drill on section 10, adj
joining 80 on the north, on what |
is known as the Whiteside lands.
It is also reported that drills will be
put in on section rs.
Two diamond drills are being
worked on section 8. 62-13, it is
said, by the same parties that are
1oing the exploring for the Robin
son Lake. Iron company. This con-
FERN is also drilling on section 1S
where they have been engaged for
some time. E. c. Kennedy of
Duluth is experimenting the work
md Osterberg Bros. of Tower are
loing the drilling. The prospects
20 far encountered are most salts
actory, so much so as to warrant
he placing of two more drills on
section 8, which will be done short
y. Considerable exploring has
,een done in this territory in years
zone by but recent developments
lave given the work an impetus
hat bids fair to land something be-
ides prospect. E. c. Kennedy
md associates deserve much credit
or their untiring efforts in the
Robinson Lake section.
1t is reported that two drills are
m the ground between here and
ection 4 ready for installation.
Who the parties are that will work
hem has not been ascertained.
Many runors of intending explor-
tions in that country have been
leard but none are definite enough
o receive serious consideration.
The drill being worked on the
of the Armstrong Lake
lining company at the lake of
hat name is meeting with most ex-
client results so we are informed.
ohm Helmer is president of the
and A. P. Cook of Du-
nth secretary. Mr.. Murphy is
perating the drill.
The work on the Roy claim at
lower Junction so far done by
danager ]. c. McGreavy bids fair
o show up most handsomely. All ,
he indications are there for mine
nd the company who control the
feel confident of ultimate
uccess and are working as fast as
,ood tools, good help and much
