OTTER TAILB. /. ASSOCIATION
THF FOURTH SEM(-ANNUAL STATEMENT
SHOWING THE CONDITION OF THE ASSO.
CITATION DECEMBER s, 1896.

The Otter Tail Building and
Loan Association of Fergus Falls
"a local association-was estab-
lished January, 1894, for the pur.
pose Of gathering up and loanipg
funds in Otter Tail and adjoining
counties on the monthly Install
ment plan. The Fergus Falls
Building Association, which was
established in 1881; was such a
complete success that it received
more funds than it was able to
loan Within the corporate. limits
of Fergus Falls, to which it's
operations were confined by its
articles of incorporation. In
order to find an opportunity for
safely investing the funds which
were offered, the Otter Tail asso-
citation was organized, and by the
laws of Minnesota defining a
local association, it's loans are
confined to Otter Tail and the ad.
joining counties. That it has
been Il complete success the
fourth semi.annual statement,
which is appended, completely
proves. Starting with nothing,
it has gathered up and loaned
during the first two years of it's
existence, S44, 800, which amount
has been loaned in the following

that with the extremely sensitive

association is now in position
to meet any and all demands that

and if the demand should reach
even $4,000 month it can raise
the funds to meet II. Following
is the statement:
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1896-12-29

The total mum Der of shares
issued in the four series now
outstanding is 1862, and the
monthly receipts are very close
to $4,000. The strength of the
monthly payment plan, when
carefully managed, is shown by
the fact that the payments in
arrears amount to but $26, al
though this association has $45,-
900 outstanding, loaned to sixty
borrowers.
The statement also shows that
the association is being econom-
ically managed, for although the
loans made during the past six
months aggregate more than
$15, 900, the expenses have been
but $209.96. The demand for
money has been excellent, and as
fast as a community has become
familiar with the workings of the
association, it makes this it's
chief source of securing loans.
The demand for money during
the: past few months has been so
great that the association has
anticipated two months dues,
but it is in a position to accept
all loans which are desirable.
The common earnings for the
past six months have been 90

The Richest strike Yet.

The richest strike ever made in
a free milling gold mine on the
Pacific coast, was that made
Thursday in the White Gold Basin
two miles east of Picacho on the
Colorado river, and 20 miles due
north of Yuma. THE vein crops
out 1000 feet of location and is from
20 to % feet wide. Tests made all
along the groupings run over 500
per ton IN free gold. Samples
taken across the vein, 25 feet. run
$3.50 on the average. Forty pounds
of rock taken from the center OF
the vein yielded $40 in gold.
The four miners who discovere d
the rich ore in the veins, had been
given permission by the owner to
prospect the vein for placer gold.
The claim was located a year ago.
The four miners have contracted
to sink a shaft 100 feet deep, on
each end of the mine and to cross
cut the vein at the bottom for one
half of the ore taken out.-CitiSen
