Estimates that deposits Of iron, long

lions OF tons OF hematite ore, a va
riety valuable for the manufacture of
steel, are contained in a bulletin just
issued by the United States depart

The bulletin deals at length with
the location. quality and quantity of
the deposit. Although development
work has been very limited the govern
ment's survey disclosed different units
OF the deposit as each containing In
excess OF l,000.0O0 ions of ore, with
the notation that development may
well reveal ore in much larger
amounts" The width OF the ore body
at the surface reaches a maximum OF
so feet. The depth Is undetermined,
but is known to reach 125 feet in
places.
The bulletin reprOduces the results
of 26 analyses, which show that the
ore runs from 34.SS to 67.O0 per cent

of phosphorus, silica. and In two in
