THE general formation is
granite. with lime, quartzite and
sandstone. ranging from about a
mile TO several miles in width,
the ore occurring in each of these
formations as well as on the con-
facts. The character of the ore
is hematite, magnitite and bes-
semer, remarkable for its high
metallic contents. and a very
small percentage of phosphorus.
THE Colorado Fuel and Iron
company has about 5000 acres
patented. the Miner estate about
the same. and a few smaller COM
