deer can be reached from any part of the
state in three days Journey, and in most
cases much shorter period; thousands of
farms have lying within rifle shot of their

of the greatest iron and steel manufacturing
industry in the world.
Ideal conditions exist for the opening up

can see at glance that the state of Min
