After spending two years in an al
most fruitless search for ore on the
west side OF the county. the Cleveland
Cliffs Co. has. 80 reports say. at last
met with encouragement in the Crystal
Falls s--dietrict. It's option on lands on
section IL, 42-33 has brought il some
results that are very gratifying.
!. The company has under option the
M of the NEl4 and the NEA of
Nw4 and mas been drilling on these
lands for several months The drill
has punched one hole through a deposit
of good ore over 20 feet thick and il is
thought that further exploration will
show up better things still. The drill
has been working on the NEii of the
NEl. which is owned by the same in
terests that own the fee 10 the Carpen-

BIG RAILROAD CHANGE.
The North Western is figuring on a
big change in its main line between
here and Stager. The present road runs
10 the west OF the big ridge Of hills
lying TO the north of oid hastodon sta
tion and 10 the east OF the old Mssto.
don mine There is a branch running
off this main line cutting to the west
OF this. line of hills. Originally this
branch served the old Mastodon proper
~. It was, later on, extended 30 as TO
serve the Dunn mine and during the
suspension of work at the Dunn, fol-
loving the caving OF the old shaft, a
rumor was in existence, that the line
would probably be abandoned The
resumption of work at the Dunn caused
the line TO be repaired and used and IL
now becomes very important link in
the new main line.
Tue proposal is to strike off TO the
west at Mastodon, following 80 TAR as
~ practicable, the old Mastodon mine
track 10 the new Mastodon where n
connecting spur will be run from this
line, through the draw in the line of
hills mentioned. 80 "a 20 connect with
the old main line again at Pamela
There Is heavy grade on the old
line near the rock cut south of Pamela,
which will be obviated bv the use of
this new cutoff and allow the hauling
OF much longer trains irom this dis
lrict to Stager.
Another rumor ~ that considerable
yard room will be provided along the
line between the Dunn mine and the
Pamela cut of for the storing Of cars
aud the making up OF trains. By build
