Ore is being hoisted at two points
on this company's property at Mud
Creek, at the Vermilion shaft, and
at the exploratory shaft on the
East Extension ground. A sub
stantial plant for operations at the
exploratory shaft has been installed.
This shaft was started in an ore
outcrop and is still in the ore at
rs feet, and Notwithstanding that
the ore is close to surface it is clean,
and in every way desirable. Usu-
ally there is considerable jasper
found in ore close to the surface on
the Vermilion range. Drifts will
be run at So feet of depth and again
at 100 feet, and at every SO feet
thereafter of depth attained. 1t
seems assured that the mineral de-
velopments to be made close to
surface on East Extension ground
will be important.
Captain Powell, who is in charge
of the development work on the
Consolidated, is former Michigan
miner of wide experience, and he
says that the showing on these
properties for the amount of work
done, is quite extraordinary

Minnesota knows how to adver-
tise. The State Board of Immigra-
ton of Minnesota is conducted by
men who are going about the big
work of settling Minnesota in a
live way. The immigration board
is also an information bureau. It
is run by men who are earnestly
endeavoring to attract the right
kind of settlers. They are advertis-
ing the states farm land-not as
one-crop gardens that reduce farm
ing to the pleasant pasttime of lotus
eating and coupon clipping.
Farming is represented as a busi-
ness and not as an ideal form of
recreation.
There are 100000 acres of
developed farm land in Minnesota
and there are 27 100000 undevel-
oped acres. There are 1885, ,759 de-
veloped farms and room for the de-
velopment of $4,000 more of the
average area of 160 acres. The
cost of those farm lands, you are
informed, ranges from SS an acre
for wild land in Northern Minnesota
to $125 for improved land in South
ern Minnesota.
Those are alluring III view of
what some of the far Western states
are advertising their land to be
worth. Minnesota is not empha
sizing the high spots, which is the
