The ore from ihe Harmony or A shaft on the new bed runs 

 from .1$ to of phosphorus and hence can be shipped in its 

 crude form. 



In March 1902, a new shaft, known as the B shaft, was begun at 

 a point about 500 feet south of the A shaft. About 250 feet of 

 glacial drift were penetrated before bed rock was struck. This 

 occurred at the end of August 1902. 



Considerable prospecting with diamond drills has been done 

 during the 12 months ending September 1902, and some addi- 

 tional beds of good ore have been found. 



The Port Henry Iron Ore Co. has continued shipments from 

 its mine, no. 21. This goes in part to the furnace at Port Henry, 

 which went into blast again in February 1902 and is now being 

 operated by the Northern Iron Co., with an output of 100 to 125 

 tons a day. The product is chiefly Bessemer pig and in part 

 foundry iron. 



The blast furnace at Crown Point still remains inactive.
