Soon To Be a Shipper

Ishpeming - At the Iron Center property, near Union Park, the
shaft is to be enlarged from its present size to 6 x 12 feet,
and newly timbered from bottom to top. After this is dene, work
on another level will be started. The shaft is down 65 feet
and when dropped to the new level it will be 100 feet deep.
Negotiations are pending for the sale of a large portion of the
ore already in stock. A side track connecting with the DSS&A
will be built to the mine soon and the shipment of ore will
then commence. The management which is made up entirely of
Ishpeming men, expect to ship at least 5,000 tons of ore before
navigation closes. As work progresses, the mine continues to
look more promising and the parties interested feel greatly
pleased at the outlock of the property.
