GREAT DISCOVERY
OF IRON ORE MADE
LARGE AREA IN SOUTHEASTERN
WISCONSIN FOUND TO BE
RICH IN MINERALS.
DEPOSITS IN THREE COUNTIES
Big Mining Corporation 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 rich percen-
tage in metallic iron. Assays range
from 81 per cent to over SO per cent
metallic iron, most Of 1t non-besse-
mer, but with possibilities of devel-
oping hessemer quality st a lower
depth.
The ore is near the surface, being
in places only twenty feet below the
surface, while i'll the best explored
tract the mine al is eighty feet below
the suface, and has been tested
through 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 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.

he has confessed the crime.
The terribly mutilated and bloody
eorpses of Mr.. and Mrs. Harmon were
discovered by two neighbor lads, sons
of Martin Schultz, who went to the
house on an errand for their father.
They discovered the body of Mr.. Har-
mon clad In an overcoat about six
rods from the house. There was evil
dence of desperate struggle in the
tracks about the spot where the body
laid. Going into the house, the boys
found the body of Mrs. Harmon, in
the kitchen, with her face badly bat
tered and her clothes, head and arms
covered with frozen blood. The
floor, chairs, table and walls were
splashed with blood and the over
turned chairs bore mute evidence of
there having been another terrific
struggle between the aged victim and
her slayer.
The strong box in which Harmon
had kept some money and valuable
papers, was found near corn crib

NCEROY HARDINGE'S TASK IS GREAT

When Edward VII, following that
remarkable series of visits to CONT
mental capitals which began In 1908,
was acclaimed throughout Europe as
the peacemaker, there were certain
keen-faced old gentlemen in Downing
street who allowed themselves the
emotional relaxation of quiet smile
and registered the thought at the
same time that a considerable por-
ton Of the credit for the diplomatic
success of those tours was due a
young man of serene temper and en-
gaging manner who was attached to
his ma1esty's suite.
Sir Charles Hardinge was that
man. and when almost coincidently
with his appointment to the highest
office in the gift of the crown--the
yiceregal throne of India-he was
elevated to the peerage in 1910 and
became the first Lord Hardinge OF
Penhurst, there was neither surprise
nor envy among the diplomatists OF
Britain, for it was recognized that his
