IT HAS GOOD AND BAD POINTS, And Time and Development Alone Bring Them Out. Can SESULT OP SOME CAEEPDL ASSATS rSrKCIAL TELEGRAM TO THJE DISPATCH.: " Dtjluih, April 24. In an age when our chief commercial and industrial interests ;enter so largely abont the iron and steel industry, the opening up of what gives every indication of becoming an important new iron ore field is a matter of national importance. The new Mesaba range, over which there has been such a craze the past winter, is an attractive topic to everyone interested in Lake Superior iron mining. The extent and richness of the new deposits, and whether or not they are brought into the market rapidly, will prove potent lac tors both in the ore market and in a measure upon the price of iron the country over. The Mesaba range is in one sense no new discovery. The existence of ore there has been known for a dozen years. The whole northeastern corner of Minnesota is a great wilderness abounding in mineral wealth, and the Vermilion and Jlesaba ranges like par allel Tertabra: run through it from nearly east-northeast to west-southwest. The Mes aba crowns the watershed and at points rises to an elevation of 1,500 feet above Lake Su perior. Vermilion Lake, north or the Mesa la, near which the richest deposits of the Vermilion ranjro occur, finds Its outlet north, ward to Hudson Bay, while the St. Louis river and other streams to the south tall into Lake Superior. Tlio First People in the Secret Eight years a?o, when Mr. Charlemagne Tower, of Philadelphia, ana his associated capitalists of Chicago and Cleveland, began opening up the wonderfully rich Vermilion deposits by building the Duluth and Iron Kange Railroad from Agate Bay, now better known as Tw o Harbors, 63 miles to Tower on Vermilion Lake, they wei e aware that ore existed on the 3Ieaba range, but they preferred to push 25 miles beyond and open the Vermilion deposits to turning: aside at the Me-aba. The difference in the quality of ore between the soft and more common red hemntite of the latter, and the rarer, hard, well crrstalized, dark gray, specular ore of the former in part explains this pecu liar business operation. In the years since the Vermilion has be come famous, prospectors have been busy on the Mesaba, but the wiidncss of the country and the absence of railway facilities have prevented its development. Forthe TO miles along which mines are now located, but one railroad touches the Mesaba, the Duluth and iron Kansre. ltnout railroads in a broken country, largely covered with the scrubby forests of the far North. In a latitude wheie winter is a werions obstacle to exploration, it was out of the question to get in machinery or open up any deposits. Early in 1590. how ever, the Mallmau mine, four miles east of the Duluth and Iron Range road, on the Mesaba, began tobedevelopedand attracted attention to the range. Oie bodies during the summer were located west and south west for 65 miles, the Diamond and Paulson mines near Grand Rapids, in Itasca county, on the Duluth and Manitoba Railroad, being rurthest west and south. Since then the Mesaba has steadily grown In public atten tion until during the past few months the or ganization of mining companies and the de sire to secure territory there has become a craze. More Stock-Floating Than Mining. Many of the companies now busy floatirg their stock have hardly begun to develop their properties. Some of them were mani festly organized to sell out rather than to mine ore. Others have placed their capital stock at a figure out of all proportion to the probable value of the property controlled. In short, speculation has begun, and tho bit ter experience of many innocents who sunk money in the Gogebic range will doubtless find a parallel in this Mesaba boom. This is so from the nature of mining enterprises. Hundreds of pits were opened in the Goge bic, but only one Norrie property, produc ing 750,000 tons annually, w as tonnd. It is so In every case. Comparatively few proper ties developed in any mineral district prove really rich and win large returns; In the majority of cases the money spent goes into the great exoeri ence fund or humanity. Still railtoads are being pushed, and with their construc tion it will be possible to get in machinery and oiscover the lull extent and richness of the deposits. Until then caution is advis able in accepting Mesaba range news. Without doubt the deposits cover a wide area and at many points are rich. The Mailman mine, which maiks the east ern end of the Mesaba district, IS months ago was said by experts to have 65,000 tons ot high grade oie in sijht. Thirtv-four miles west of this is the Mountain Iron Company, and 12 miles south and 35 west are the Dia mond and Paulson properties marking the western extremity of the range. Thecenter of the recent excitement, however, has been abont midway between the Mailman and Mountain lion properties. E'ght companies, taken at haphazard, as orcanized recently, have t total capitaliza tion of $:3,000,000. Many or tbem own no more than iO or SO acres of land, with State leases at 25 cents a ton royalty on other land or leases from private parties at higher figures. Usually 20 to 00 per cent of the stock Is kept in the treasury, aud the re mainder, fully paid and non-assessable, is put on the market at 10 or 20. The proceeds from tho sale of Treasury stock from time to time is used to develop the mine. Easy to Work New Mines. Tho ore ot this immediate district is quite distinct from that of the Vermilion range. It occurs in beds, tilled from 12 to M degiess from the horizontal, instead of the more vein-like formation of the hard Vermilion ore. This gives it the advantage of cheap exploration and of low cost mining during tho early years of a mine. But whore the dip of the strata is pronounced, cost would increase rapidly. The soft drift deposits that cover the beds near the out crop can be easily stripped off for a consid erable distanre in many cases, but when the overlying strata of slates and olaty quart zites are reached it is quite a different story. In some properties the dip is such that un less the beds "pinch out" they leach a depth of 1,000 reet two miles from tbe outcrop. How far south the beds extend aud how deep they go are as yet unanswered questions. The mitigating fact in regaid to the greater cost or mining In the later years or a property is that the ore frequently improves In quantity at a greater depth. In many cases for hundreds of feet it will he possible to mine the Mesaba ores bv Btripping off the soft diitt, and talk is henid of mining as much of it as is soit and granu lar with steam shovels. Should this nrove practicable the cost or mining would be greatly reduced and a much lower grado ore could he mined as profitably as a richer ore In the Vermilion region. Mesaba enthu siasts claim it will be possihle to put ore from theso mines on the market at 50 cents to $1 per ton below Bessemer ores or other ranges, and one heavily Interested partv has declared he will supply a Duluth iron and steel company with ore at $2 50 a ton in order to induce the location of such a plant there, but this cannot be taken as reliable evidence or what experience is likely to develop. Conservative ore men are inclined to pronounce all estimates or mining cost at this stage of the development little more than guess work. Result of the Assays. A large number of assays of Mesaba ore, made by a reliable chemist.show an average of about 61 per cent in metallic iron and .015 per cent In phosphorous. Many samples were, of course, much richer in Iron and lower in phosphorous, and consequently more valuable. Prof. IL N. WInchell, of Minneapolis, the Assistant State Geologist of Minnesota, thinks the Mesaba ores will average 60 per cent metallic iron and low in phosphorous. Some will reach 64 per cent, and he does not hesitate to add that others are lower in iron and non-Bessemer. The general appearance or Mesaba ore at first glance is not prepossessing. The mix ture or llmonltc, red hematite, and black maznetite. that is common, makes it dirty looking. It varies as greatly in hardness as in color; and ranges rrom powdery ochrea to hard hematite. The peculiar feature is that these remarkable differences do not seem to mark variations in quality. This will tend to make it more difficult to determine the rank of these ores when they once come on the market and may work against them. The mark of the district is tbe intimate as sociation of widely different kinds or oie, the brown or yellowish limonlte, the ted hematite, and the black magnetite. The last, which is usually found in primary crystalline rock formations, and in beds or metamorphtc rock, occurshere hired quartz schist, and is coated with a fine siliceous de posit and contains none of its usual im puritiessulphur titanium, apatite. The Jiresence of the limonlte, whioh has been ormed by the action of water on the red hematite, increases the amount of moisture several per cent and will add by that much to the cost of transportation. The present developments of the Mesaba are not enough to show tbe real magnitude of the deposits, but they are sufficient to prove the existence or a great ore range that will compare favorably in many re spects with the other Lake Superior ranges. It may happen for a time that ore can be shipped from it cheaper than from most others, because of the lower cost of mining, which is likely to be met at first. It will be seen, however, that the Mesaba is not an ideal mining region. It has its danger points, as has every otner, and much of the experience gained there will be dearly bought, but notwithstanding all these facts it cannot be denied that it promises to be come a vigorous competitor with the other ranges in the ore markets before 18 months moie have come and gone.
