The increasing activities by we'll
known iron ore men, who are operat.
ing drills on Morrison county lands,
tend to show that the operators have
secured enough evidence Of the ex-
istence of iron ore in paying quality
to warrant turther exploration of the
county.
Very little can be learned from
them but the fact that six drills have
been steadily working on the west side
of the Mississippi river in this county
is very suggestive. One operated by
Judge Hale OF Deerwood on Section IS,
twp. 1872, rye. 30, has been actively en-
gagged since last January and three
other drills just northeast OF Randall
have been in continuous operation
since last spring. Last month two
other drills we're started up, one in
section 81, twp. 132, rye. ~, operated
by Mr. Spencer of Duluth and one
on section 3, twp. l31, rye. 30, operated
by Judge Hale. Each drill requires q
