THE GRAHAM DAILY NEWS
------
VALUABLE VEIN OF IRON ORE DISCOVERED
------
On the Iron Ore Range Controlled in Connection With Graham Furnace
    There is excitement at Graham over the fact that Walter Graham has found, only thirty miles from Graham, immediately on the railroad, a vein of solid oriskany iron ore, eighteen feet thick on the extensive iron ore range he controls in connection with Graham furnace, which now has available, unlimited iron ore, coke and limestone, of high quality, practically at the furnace.
    Mr. Graham's father, after whom the town is named, got together these lands before Graham furnace was built, when he was building the New River railroad.  Only in the past year has new railroad development made them available.

[But lurking off stage were the cheaper Mesabi Range ores.]
