Mine) The second mine to be opened by Steep Rock Iron Mines was the "A" Ore Zone. It was later renamed the Hogarth Mine in honor of Major-General Donald Hogarth who was the second president of Steep Rock Iron Mines and is credited with obtaining the funds for the diversion. In 1949, Construction Aggregates Corporation (CAC) was hired to help with the dredging in the "A" ore zone. CAC brought in a 30-inch all electric dredge called the "Nebraska"-later renamed "Steep Rock"- to assist in the dredging project. The dredge was launched into the "A" ore zone on November 2, 1950, along with a smaller dredge named "La Seine". In June 1950, Donald Hogarth died and Morson Scarth "Pop" Fotheringham took over as president of Steep Rock Iron Mines. In the Spring of 1951, discoloration of the Seine River from the dredging overburden reached a point of concern and accusations of pollution from outdoor groups and residents reach the newspapers. To fix the discoloration issue, a second diversion was planned. It would divert the river from the top of Wagita Bay to the bottom of the Tracy Rapids. This diversion was opened May 1, 1952. In the months following CAC acquired another large dredge as the smaller "La Seine" dredge could not keep up with the demand. The dredge "New York" was operating near Chicago when it was purchased for use in Steep Rock. The dredge was dismantled, sent to Steep Rock, reassembled and launched October 10, 1952. It was renamed "Marmion". In that same month the dredge "Steep Rock" uncovered the first ore in the ore zone. By July 1953 enough of the ore had been exposed that mining could begin. The first shipment of iron ore out of Hogarth Mine was September 1, 1953. It was sent via Canadian National Railway to the ore docks in Port Arthur, Ontario. The ore was then loaded onto steamships and shipped down to the U.S and other cities along the Lake Superior shipping lines. Shortly afterwards, in February 1954, the dredging project was completed in the Hogarth Mine. The final mine to be opened by Steep Rock Iron Mines was the "G" ore zone. To do this the dredges needed to be moved into that ore zone. The plan that was developed was an overland move known as "Operation Up and Over". The move occurred in March 1954. The Hogarth Mine
