CONFIRMATION is OPPOSED
Senate Delays Vote on Appointment
of Glenn. Host TO Succeed
Fire Marshal PurleI.

Madison.-Opposition has APP
peared in the senate to the confirma-
ton of Glenn p. Host Of Milwaukee
for the Office of state fire marshal to
succeed Thomas Purtell. The SEN
ate postponed action on the Host ap-
pointment until March 6. The post
ponement was asked by Senator RAN
dolph and the senate laid over action
on the appointment by unanimous
consent. Senator Randolph asked the
delay on the ground that the special
legislative committee on fire insur
ance appointed by the last legisla-
ture had several bills to offer on fire
insurance and that one of these bills
would propose the consolidation Of
the Office Of fire marshal with the in
surance department. 1t is said that
some members do not relish the ap-
pointment because of Mr.. Hosts re-
cent prominence in the bull moose"
campaign.

GREAT DISCOVERY
OF IRON ORE MADE.
LARGE AREA IN SOUTHEASTERN
WISCONSIN FOUND TO BE
.RlCH IN MINERALS.
DEP0SiTSlN THREE COUNTIES
Big Mining Cooperation Seeks Leases
on Lands IN the kickapoo River Vat
ley as Result Of Recent Explorations
and Tests of Ore Bodies.

Milwaukee. What may be the
greatest iron ore discovery in the
worlds history, became known here
with the arrival here of Frank r.
Honzel of Prairie due Chen to close
arrangements for the leases on an
enormous tract of land to local rep
resentative of some OF the biggest
mining operators in the United
States
The tract is in the southwestern
part of Wisconsin, extends over parts
of three counties, and the discoveries
believe that an area sixty miles long
and forty miles wide Is largely under
laid with iro more of a rich percen-
tage in metallic iron. Assays range
from "a per cent to over SO per cent
metallic iron, most of it non-besse-
mer, but with possibilities of devel-
oping bessemer quality at lower
depth.
The ore is near the surface, being
in places only twenty feet below the
surface, while in the best explored
tract the mineral is eighty feet below
the suface, and has beel tested
through a depth of forty feet. The
properties include a deposit of red
hematite, assaying owed so per cent,
near Viroqua in Vernon county. This
is as far north as the explorations
have proceeded. In the center of the
field, in the Kickapoo valley, one of
the Oldest settled portions of the
state, is deposit of limonite, this
being the forty acre tract thoroughly
explored Surrounding properties
bear extensive outcroppings. Still
further to the south, nearly fifty
miles from Viroqua, is another de-
post of hematite, near Boscobel.
