LOADING LAST OF ORE

stockpile of thhe Madeira mine at
Hibbing is now being loaded for
shipment. The property was for
merly operated by A. B. Coates of
Virginia, but Mr.. Coates surren-
dered the lease some time ago.
The Madeira was Known as one of
the richest small mines on the
range, but the best OF its ore has
been removed and the shaft and
engine-rooms dismantled. The re-
naming ore will probably be re-
moved by contractors working for
the fee owners. The Madeira is
