The Iron River Reporter in speaking of Michael Gleason says the following.
'Mr. Gleason has devoted considerable of his life in exploring for iron ore and has been quite successful in his work. The latest thing along this line was done in this district and resulted in opening up the Davidson properties, which are now under lease to the New York State Steel company, and are considered to contain a large body of ore. Mr. Gleason was probably the means of proving that there was ore on the property now under lease to the Jones & Laughlin Iron company. Mr. Gleason has been a hard and persistent worker all his life time and we are pleased that in his declining years he is to be rewarded for his efforts and that he can now take life easy.'
