Jasper Peak
Jasper Peak is a peak in northeastern Minnesota near Soudan. It derives its current name from the red jasper which is the major constituent of the mountain's bedrock. A Minnesota Division of Forestry lookout tower built in 1934 is situated on the summit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kjackson.us/towers/Jasper.php )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Minnesota Fire Towers )〕 The mountain was once named Chester Peak in honor of Albert Huntington Chester, a graduate of the Columbia School of Mines and a professor of chemistry, mineralogy, and metallurgy at Hamilton College 1870-1891, and later at Rutgers College. His survey of the Mesabi and Vermilion Iron Ranges was published in the ''Eleventh Annual Report of the Minnesota Geological Survey'' in 1882. ==References==
