The front says: "Centennial Fountain 1893 - 1993. From all across the earth people came to this land to build a harvest. For 100 years the industry of our community and the wealth of this land has gone out to every nation on earth like a fountain flowing forth in abundance." Another side says: "Flowing from the People", another side says: "Flowing from Nature", and the final side says: "Flowing from the Land". ~ text of marker

HIBBING — Enjoyment of Hibbing’s Centennial Fountain will be restored by week’s end or early next week after a month when it was out of commission due to a faulty pump.
John Fairchild, Hibbing public works superintendent, said Wednesday that poorly functioning bearings in the pump were causing electrical breakers to trip. He said the fountain was drained, and the pump — which sits in a vault amid other components — was sent to Virginia for repair.
