1911. The Munro Mine located one and one-fourth miles west of Norway on Section 6, 39-29 is leased by the Munro Iron Mining Company. Mining is by the open pit milling system. Owing to the low grade of the ore, only a limited product is desired. Total production to date, 298,578 tons. Equipment consists of two 150 H. P. return tubular boilers, geared hoist and straight line air compressors, and a No. 7½ crusher. G. L. Woodworth, Iron River, Mich., is in charge of the several properties of this company.
