new shipper in every sense of the
word.
Il The old Minnesota workings at
Soudan, thought few years ago
to have run their course, have
again resumed operations, after the
temporary lay-off during which
time the shaft was retimbered and
the mine again placed in shape for
a period of activity. A large de-
post of that best-in-the-land ore
for which the Minnesota was fam
Gus has been opened up and it is
estimated that the ore at present
in sight will keep the mine busy
for some time to come.
The Vermilion Steel & Iron
on S, 62-14 looks like winner
which view is taken by the large
number of people who have visited
the workings. The shaft which
has attained a depth of 100 feet is
bottomed in greensboro and paint
rock. Superintendent Chamber
lain expects to reach ore at almost
anytime the indications in the
shaft and in the few short drifts
put in getting better with every
foot sunk. An extra fine plant of
machinery, built by the Imperial
Machinery Co., of Duluth of which
Henry Wessinger is manager. has
been taken to the property and will
be installed at once. 800 tons of
coal have also been taken to the
works.
The Extension of the above
company adjoining is also being
prospected at the same time as the
shaft on the Vermilion is right near
the line and the exploration of one
means the exploration of the other.
| The Scott Bevier Iron Mining
company operating on SO, 6S-15
claims to have showing second to
none. A shaft has been sunk 90
feet and drift run rs feet through
rock in vein carrying fair ore. 1t
is claimed that drill hole recently
completed showed a good vein of
merchantable ore at depth of 226
feet from the surface.
i The Almar Mining company on
Is. 62-14 is showing excellent
samples taken from their shaft. A
large amount of work Is being done
here under the supervision of Capt.
John King, the veteran Michigan
wrestler and mining man. The
formation at this property indicates
iron ore of an exceptional value,
the samples of clean ore having
been secured assaying way up in
'tiron. The larger part of the
material so far taken from the shaft
having been a mixture of soap and
paintrock and mixed ore. VIM.
Besson of this city who is consult
ing engineer for the Almar, ex-
pressed himself as confident of an
ore strike within brief time.
The Marquette & Vermilion
company on section 10, 62-14 is
steadily saving wood and showing
up results that please the stock
holders and officers of this concern
Diamond drill work done gave
promise of something more than
a prospect. Geo. II. Hutchings of
Minneapolis is the fiscal agent of
the company.
@u Mr.. Carmichael of Virginia has
recently taken charge of the work
on the Vermilion Iron Develop
ment property on Pine Island. Mr..
Carmichael is thorough and pains
taking in everything he under
takes, so we are informed, and will
get the most out of this property.
Shaft sinking and drifting is in
progress with results that are very
satisfactory to President Cardle
and Secretary Lewis who make
frequent inspection trips to the
works accompanied by large num-
bers of stockholders.

lation of a Jones furnace on this
