J.T. JONES' PLANT
NEAR COMPLETION
NEW IRON MINING AND FURNACE
INDUSTRY WILL BE LAUNCH.
ED ABOUT JANUARY
FIRST.

John r. Jones furnace at the Klo.
man mine, in Republic, will probabl,
go into operation soon after tho first
of the year. The last of the macbin-
cry Is now being installed. and the
buildings have been completed. They
are built Of concrete. and concrete has
also been used In installing the fur
mace tubes.
The company has been employing
some thirty men at the property for
more than year past Pumping from
the shaft has been started and the last
Of the water will be removed by the
time all the machinery is in position
A new shafthouse which is covered
with steel, has recently been complet-
ed. 1t is expected that the shaft will
be found in good condition, as "a is
only few years ago since it was over
hauled by the Flagler interests. who
had planned to resume operations at
the property. but met with financial
difficulties. The shaft work was done
under supervision of Captain J. CowI-
iug, an old Lake Superior mining man.
Mr.. Jones and his associates have
expended a large sum on their Kloman
plant and IL will be a source of much
satisfaction 10 their friends in the
Lake Superior district if their furnace
is a success. 1t is thought that the
plant will be an Improvement over the
Jones furnace at Iron Mountain.
There Is consideranIe quantity Of
low grade ore available near surfac,
at the Kloman and the expense of
mining will be comparatively light. at
least for a time All of the old min
crs at Republic who have a knowledge
OF the underground conditions at the
property predict that ore of good quail
ity will be found i'm the shaft now be-
ing unwatered. /
From the tests made during the |
past summer, the Jones interests are |
convinced that there is a large body !
Of the kind of ore they desire for treat |
mcnt by their furnace process. An ex-
tcnsive test of the Kloman ore was |
made at the Iron Mountain plant.
While the vein i'm the Kloman is
narrow, the low grade mineral extends
close TO surface and practically all of
the mixed ore now in stock ready for
furnace treatment was gathered near
surface If the underground workings
prove up as well as the operators an
ticipate, The Jones interests will doubt
less be able to make their operating
expenses out of the high grade min
eral giving them a nice profit on the
low grade stuff that will be treated in
the furnace.

the inventor of the furnace process, is
