IL is safe 10 say that there are as
many diamond drills working in the
Crystal Falls district right now as
there have been at any time in the his
tory OF the district There ism / much
being said about the work as the iron
business is In the dumps and the rush
TO get bold OF iron properties by specu-
lators 10 not what IL has been In the
past but the iron mining Companies
are hesping right ON in their efforts TO
locate more ore bodies and they have
been rewarded quite freely OF late In
the CRYSTAL Falls district
Without doubt the most successful
work OF the year IN this locality, IL not
on the entire Menominee range. has
been tnat or the M. A. Hanna company
ON section 81 43-32. The findings OF
this company in that section have not
only been extensive but the quality OF
the ore is exceptionally good. They
are not anywhere near the end OF their
exploratory work on this land but what
they have already shown mp insures
them Of one Of the largest properties In
Iron county apd we say that with tull
knowledge OF the extensive deposits

Inequality the ore IL the best that has
bean..discovered Of late anywhere in the
county. Several drills have been at
work constantly Tor over year upon
this and the adjoining property and the
indications are that the work will be
continued for length of time.
The next busiest place in an explora-
tory way is that in the immediate To-
cality OF the Alpha mine in section I3
1873 and adjoining lands. The T.. J.
Longyear interests are the heaviest
workers in this locality having half
dozen drills pounding along there.
These people are extensive aud
thorough explorers and when they
tackle section they go the limit in
proving it's worth. Their findings in
this locality are being kept secret but
the tact that they are concentrating a
lot of drills there Is quite conclusive
that they have met something worth
the while.
