For hardcore Iron Rangers or those interested in how mining plays into our culture, take a look at this guest column from today’s Hibbing Daily Tribune by retired mining engineer Thomas J. Mesich. He talks about taconite (a low grade iron ore that used to make steel) veins around the central Iron Range and how mining them may impact current highways and cities in the next decade or two. In the old days mining engineers would move towns to get at the ore. Now they write op/eds.
