Evergreen Mines Co.
to Construct Iron Ore
Washing Plant Here
Company Takes Option on
Martin Skala Land on
Shagawa River.
TO BOOST ORE GRADE
Thousands of Tons at Old
Chandler More Saleable
by New Process.

The Evergreen Mines company, oper-
ating the Chandler mine, has secured
an option from Martin Skala for lands
on the hill near the Shagawa river, east
Of the Spalding addition, on which ii
is proposed 10 erect washing plant &c
benefit the lean ores of the mine.
Captain Carlson informed us Saturday
that he would go to Duluth, Monday, to
ascertain as to when the option would
be exercised and when work on the
washing plant would begin.
The low grade ore at the Chandler
runs in the neighborhood of 46 per cent
iron, as does also the thousands of tons
OF material on the old dumps at the
mine, which, when put through the
washer, would bring the assay up to the
required figure making shipment profit
able and the ore more Saleable.
Stripping operations will begin within
a short. time in the Chandler pit and
the overburden removed from a deposit
of lean ore shown up in the exploration
work which has been conducted for the
past several months. This lean ore also
will be put through the washing process.
At the present time small crew is
employed at the Chandler in driving a
drift to a deposit Of ore located on the
fourteenth level. The company shipped
a total Of 1889 tons from the mine last
year. The last previous shipment was
made from this mine in 1890
The Evergreen Mines company, be-
sides operating the Chandler mine on
the Vermilion range, is operating mines
on the Guyana and MeSaba ranges. 1t
shipped 1901 tons last year from the
three ranges.
