PARA PARA IRON ORE DEPOSITS, COLLINGWOOD DISTRICT. The iron ore deposit at Para-Para, eight miles from Collingwood township, is one of the richest iron fields in the world. Reports from different experts show that several millions of ions of ore lie visible on the surface, and could be quarried for a trifle. A large percentage of the ore is of first-class quality, and the remainder medium. Should the ironworks once become established they would be one of the largest mining schemes in the southern hemisphere.
