Depth and extent of range ore explored to 4000 feet

The article discusses ore depth potential in the Gogebic range with a plan to reach 4000 feet. It notes known shafts at 200 feet in Castile and Atlantic, 2400–2600 feet in Montreal Newport Pabst Geneva, and Eureka near 40 feet, but admits no firm limit on merchantable ore depth. It highlights east west differences, oxidation, leaching, and lacks a definitive end to ore bodies while promising further study.

Gogebic iron formation eastern vs western provinces described

The Iron Belt across Michigan and Wisconsin spans about 22 miles of productive iron formation with the Gogebic range showing two provinces. The eastern province yields all merchantable ore with extensive oxidation and leaching, while the western province shows less oxidation, more magnetite and silicates, and potential for concentration. Exploration should extend west as far as Tyler’s Fork for merchantable ore and focus on ore concentration methods, including magnetic separation, to extend supply ahead of Mesabi depletion.
