In the Report of the Tenth Census, Putnam mentions several 

 properties as under operation and shows their location. The prop- 

 erties in order from east to west include the Bennet, Ontario Fur- 

 nace Co., Hurly, La Frois, Bundy and Ontario Furnace Co., of 

 which all but the first one were active. The principal holdings of 

 the Ontario Furnace Co. have been taken over by the Furnaceville 

 Iron Co., the former company having gone out of existence. The 

 analyses below are from Putnam and refer to ores from these prop- 

 erties : no. I, Hurly; no. 2, La Frois; and no. 3, Bundy.

The Ontario Iron Ore Co. is a new producer in this section and 

 began shipments in 1907. The company owns properties lying east 

 of the Slocum road and a little west of Ontario Center. 



The Wayne Iron Ore Co. has properties under development near 

 those of the Furnaceville Iron Co., north of Ontario, and also 

 farther west, near the Wayne-Monroe county line. The holdings 

 near Ontario have been tested with a core drill and the ore bed 

 found to range from 18 to 30 inches thick. The ore on the western 

 properties has an average thickness of 18 inches. A series of 15 

 analyses from samples of the ore represented by the drill cores and 

 test pits distributed over all parts of these properties shows the
