The Cleyeland~Clitfs company mas
the reputation OF being very thorough
in it's work. When they open up a
property they do 1t in a manner and on
a scale that means big initial outlay
but a saving in costs afterwards that
soon repays for the initial outlay.
The Nicely is understood to be the
most valuable property of the COM
pany in this section OF the country.
There is a large acreage under lease
there which has promise of much more
ore than that shown in the drillings.
The Dunn Mine
The old Dunn Is still on the map II
isn't making any world record but the
small force is producing ore all of the
time and looking for more The ore
body got so far away from the shaft
that the company decided to sink a
transfer closer to the ore body and
this work is now completed and new
level is being opened up on the body of
ore known as the Richards"
The Dunn mine proper is located in
Mastodon township but the deposit OF
ore upon which the workmen have been
busy for the past two years is located
in Crystal Falls township. The Dunn
mine is trying to get back into Masto-
don township again by opening up a
piece OF ore found by the Cleveland
Cliffs company on the Kimberly lands
east OF the old Dunn pit. A drift is
being driven from the shaft to open
this ore which lies more than a quart
er of mile away. The drift was in
distance OF / 300 feet week ago and
several hundred feet more must be
driven TO get the ore. The body will
be cut at depth OF over 1000 feet so
that II there is any size to the body
there will be ample return for the great
drifting expense
The New "Bull Moose"
II isn't a political party; it's
drilling machine manufactured by the
Ingersoll- Rand people and designed
for sinking purposes only. IL is a
water drill of the Jack hammer" type
and the way that It cuts a hole into
the rock is wonderful.
The only place that we know OF this
drill being tested out is at the Warner
mine OF the Pickands-M ather people
where the sinking record under Cap
tain Hughes has been doubled from
what Il formerly was. The sink last
month was close TO ninety feet in a
shaft where one crew does the muck
ing mining and timbering and where
but one kind of work can be carried on
at a time. The record of Mr.. Hughes
has been shattered at the Newport
mine but at that property extensive
preparations were made and no inter
ruption Is made to one line Of work be-
cause of another line being carried on
in the same opening at the same
time The Warner shaft is a compare
lively small one and wouldn't stand
the large outlay necessary TO rig up as
Is done al the Newport
The machine Is said 10 be big
success by all who have used it or
seen it perform We understand that
the machine can be used only in sink
ing work.
Slow Progress nj OdgerS
Contrary to all expectation. to men
engaged in sinking the shaft at the
odgers mine encountered bog Of
quicksand at depth Of about Is feet
and the progress since that time has
been slow. There is only 25-feet OF
overburden on the ledge and the drill
work and old test pit work in that
vicinity led everyone TO suppose that
the stun was OF a hard nature and
would give but little trouble.
The installing of machinery Is going
on rapidly. A temporary engine house
has been erected and in about a weeks
time there will be all kinds OF power
available for a rapid opening OF the
property.
