*In the Summary Report of the Geolopical S^irvey for 1903, Mr. Faribault mentions 

 eleven localities from which bog iron ore was obtained, and which yielded to Dr. 

 Hoffmann an average analysis of the whole eleven specimens no less than 52 per cent . 

 of metallic iron. See Sum. Rept., J903, p. 185.
