His Well Runs Gold and Silver.

There is a wonderful well down near the
Del Norte. 1t is an artesian well with an
abundant flow of pure water, sufficient to
irrigate a considerable amount of land.
That would be enough for any one but a
San Luis man. But this is mineral water.
1t is eiIervescent, very palatable and en-
tremcly healthful. Nor is this all; the
force of the water brings up from the depths
an occasional lump of native silver or a
gold nugget.
The frugal farmer has placed a sack Of
wire netting over the mouth of the well to
catch the metal and prevent it from chok.

agrcat depth and under enormous pressure
the water is washing away a ledge of rock
whose softer parts 60 into solution and
give the water it's mineral qualities, but
whose gold and silver. not being dissolved,
are brought to the surface in a metallic
state.-Pike's Peak Herald.

The Thanksgiving Ball.
From Fridays Daily, 7th,1

The social season was very %fittingly in
augurated at the Atheneum last evening,
there being eighty-two couples in the
grand march, and at least as many more
who did not participate in the opening.
The ball was given by Pioneer Hose COM
pany No. /, and the boys have reason to be
proud of their efforts. 1t was one of the
largest gatheringf of the kind ever held in
Bismarck. The elite of the city were there
and joined with the gaily-attired firemen
in having a jolly time. The music was
excellent, the hall nicely decorated and
nothing left undOne to make the event a
success in every particular. The special
train from Mandan brought over quite a
as the Bismarck people themselves.
THE HOSE COUPLING CONTEST.
The conditions of the hose coupling con-
test were. to run fifty feet, break three full
threads, and attach a nozzle three full
threads. The prize was a 1926 company
badge. The coupler used was manufac-
tured by the Silsby company of Seneca
Fails, N. Y, made especially for the Bis
marck company, and the boys are loud in
their praise of it. The time made by. the
contestants was as follows: S. Newcomer,
six seconds; Thos. Moore, eight seconds,
with two seconds added for nozzle lacking
one turn; John Homan, five seconds; An
gus Macdonald, no record, he failing to
make the coupling. The contest was
awarded to Mr.. HOman, he having come
within fOur-fifthS OF a second of the worlds
championship record.

A Handsome Crazy Quilt.

From Sundays Dally.I
For nearly three years past Mrs. Ed.
Sloan of this city has been working and
gathering material for one of the finest
crazy quilts ever made in Bismarck. 1t
has been completed at last and is undoubt-
eddy a marvel of rare taste and woman's
ingenuity. Mr.. Sloan was around town
yesterday with the quilt for the inspection
of his friends, and of course feels very
proud of his wife's handiwork. 1t is con-
structed of rich pieces of silk and velvet,
no two pieces alike, and there are so many
that their dazzling colors and odd shapes
would make one dizzy to attempt the feat
Of counting them. The thread used is of
the best silk, and every stitch is different.
Beautiful foWery and animal designs are
artistically worked in the quilt, which pre-
sents a gorgeous appearance. The silk
thread alone cost 800. The market value
of this remarkable piece of work is proba-
bly, no more than $500, but Mrs. SIoan's
patient labor in collecting material and
evolving new designs is worth several
times that sum-. The quilt will be on ex-
hibition in one of Dan Eisenberg's show
windows for a few days, and some lucky
person will possibly carry off the prize.

Faithfulness Misapplied.

A young wife tells of a trying but ludi-
crous incident which offered a fair chance
for a trial of temper. She was the mistress
of a brisk young maid of all work, who
under a enthusiastic mistress soon be-
came interested in the pretty new home
made bright by many wedding presents.
Among the latter the newly married pair
were very proud Of a certain spoon that
was sent from foreign lands, and besides a
HISTORY" had some old fashioned oxidiz.
ing and chasing. The maid was cleaning
the silver under instruction given by the
young housekeeper. Suddenly she cams
rushing into the room with a most joyous
cast of countenance, exclaiming with great
pride, "I've done it at last, num-" and
held aloft the curious spoon with a handle
as smooth and shiny as tin. Lovers of
curios are left to imagine the feelings Of
the MISUNDERSTANDING.

The City of Bismarck.

Harvey Harris, the enterprising real es-
tate agent and general progressive citizen
of Bismarck, has issued a neat little folder
distribution, setting forth the superior
advantages of Bismarck and country trib-
utary. Among the statements which the
TRIBUNE can lsubstantiate are that Bis
marck is t%he,center Of the largest area of
%unoccupied government land in the United
States and is the gateway to the greatest
cattle and sheep producing region on earth;

The Van HOuten Case.
from Sundays Daily.

Judge Winchester in his chambers has
been listering to arguments in the Van
Houten case, the details of which are IA
miliar to all TRIBUNE readers. Joseph
II. Little, who is a member of the defunct
hardware firm of Van Houten Bros. Il Lit
tie, arrived from Prairie City, Ia, several
days ago to present his claim of $4,000
which was yesterday thrown out by the
judge. When the firm dissolved partner
ship, Little retiring and the Van Houten
brothers continuing the business for a
while, Mr.. Little drew out $500 in cash and
$1,000 in notes.-the latter he seeks to re-
cover. Attorneys on both sides haze been
diligently studying the points of the case.
The defense argued that at the time of Mr..
SLittle's withdrawing, the firm of Van Hou.
ten Bros. s. Little was insolvent, Little
therefore losing his $4,000 claim. When
made an assignment it was claimed that
the books were burned in order
to destroy all the evidence
of transacting a fraudulent business. The
Capital National bank is largely interested
in knowing what disposition was made of
the books, as Van Houten is a heavy debt
or to the bank. 1t is the general impress
of the books in some manner and efforts
are being made to secure the proper order
from the court to resurrect them. The
case is very complicated. In Judge Win
:chester's own words, it is one of the worst
Hdouble back action" cases that ever came
under his ruling. The attorneys will cor
raj APPOINT and probably make a hobby of
it for months and they cannot understand
why in the world everything does not
appear clear to the judge, who is fairly
sWamped with court business. At all
events he is taking care of all the details.
Thus far none of his decisions have been
reversed by the supreme court. The at
tOrneys for the Capital National bank and
Joseph Il. Little are Oh M. Jamison and
Louis Hanitch. George W. Newton repre-
