9, 1912 – The first mining operations in the Minnesota iron
district for this season were begun today when the Shenango pit at Chisholm and
the Whiteside mine at Hibbing, started to take out ore. Shipments to the docks
at Duluth will begin in a few days. Stripping operations at the Buffalo
property at Hibbing also resumed today.
