GREAT DISCOVERY
OF IRON ORE MADE.
LARGE AREA IN SOUTHEASTERN
WISCONSIN FOUND. TO BE
RICH IN MINERALS.
DEPOSITS IN THREE COUNTIES
Big Mining Cooperation Seeks Leases
on Lands in the kickapoo River Val
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 ga per cent to over 60 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 been tested
through a depth of forty feet. The
properties include a deposit of red
hematite, assaying owed 60 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 a 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
