Prospecting
The Hunt for Hidden Iron Ore
 
There had been rumors and reports for years that there were huge deposits of iron ore in northern Minnesota. It was the work of prospectors to find the places most likely to contain ore, and find evidence that would prove to investors and companies that there was iron to be mined on the Mesabi Range.
