LOW PHOSPHORUS ORES AT JUD-
SON AND AMASa-P0TER
WILL LOAD PAINT ORE SOON
Shovel Sent to Amasa to Load Up
Some HemloCk Ore That Has
Been Selected For Use

name OF which is the Judson Mining
Co, find that they are coming into
! their own these days from the fact
that they have grade of ore that is
being sought out by furnace men the
country over
We refer TO the low phosphorous
non Besemer ores running anywhere
from 10 to 20 in phos This is a grade
OF ore which Is not being developed
fast aud which both the Guyana range
and the Iron River districts have fail
ed to develop II Is an ore that Is met
with mainly In the Crystal Falls
and some of the Marquette district
/ sections Not all OF the Crystal Falls
ores run as low iu phos as the figures
stated but there are certain sections
about this locality where this class OF
ore is developed and those who know
say that the time is not far distant
when there will be big developments
in those sections
The Judson mine produces some ore
of this character and Mr.. Richards
tells as that the demand just now for
the output OF that class OF ore is very
great Not all of the Judson ore runs
as low as that figure in phos and so
the output there is limited but there
is considerable OF il just the same and
every pound that can be mined is
wanted
The Amasa- Porter mine is all low
phos, some OF il so low that il comes
within the Bessemer limit A careful
selection is being made of all the ores
mined al the AmasaPorter mine, a
Bessemer and a non Besemer grade
being produced. The Bessemer is
easily salable as such and Is bringing
handsome price The non -Bessemer
is within the low phos limit and that
too Is anxiously sought but the
operators are not particular TO part
with It at present figures as it looks
very mach as If there will be a
premium upon this class of ore in the
near future.
Shipments have commenced from
both mines to Escanaba docks. The
companys customers are particularly
anxious for the low phos ores and
every effort is being made TO get boats
to Escanaba TO take the ore away
shipping All Around
All OF the Crystal Falls mines are
shipping this week The Tohin Is not
making large output just now, some
Is cars per day being sent forward
This will easily be doubled as soon as
there is prospect of boats getting
through
The Bristol is loading Al the rate of
about q train load Of ore per day and
the Dunn and Carpenter are adding
their quota TO the lot in addition to
that being sent forward by the mines
at Alpha
A night and day crew is being main
tanned already and two ore trains are
running here regularly
Last OF Amasa ore
steam shovel was sent % Amasa
last Monday to load mp some paint ore
at the Hemlock property The Hem
lock mine was famous for IT'S paint ore
and in mining operations this ore was
saved out when met with SO that quite
a pile Of Il has been stocked and saw
ed for the days when the Hemlock
would be no more
Just how much OF this ore Will be-
loaded out now Is not known There
is a good sized pile on the ground and
IL Is likely only as much as Is needed
each period will be sent forward until
the supply IL exhausted
II Il not known yet II the new
Warner mine shows up any OF this
paint ore but the chances are that IL
will when development Is far enough
advanced 70 show up the entire orc
contents Of the property
More New Exploratory Work
Some new exploratory work has
been started and there are some in
dications that outside interests are
seeking lands for exploratory pur-
poses
A drill was placed upon the NV u !
OF section 80 i8 30 during the week
This land lies Immediately south OF
