Iron Found in Wisconsin.

Ashland, Wis., and vicinity are in a furore of excitement over the discovery of the first vein of Iron ore ever found in Ashland county, and land values in the new mineral section have greatly appreciated. For some time past James Guest has been prospecting on the Penokee range, and last week his efforts were rewarded by the encountering of a body of specular ore of great promise. A company has now been organized at Mellan to develop the property, while numerous others have been formed to conduct exploratory operations elsewhere on the Penokee range, particularly along the western end.
