BLUE EARTH COUNTY CAPT.
TALlSTS INTERESTED.

EDITOR FREE PRESS:-There is a
silver mine in Colorado that was
recently offered for sale at a very
moderate price, and it has leaked out
that company of Blue Earth county
business men have purchased it. This
mine shows very large amount of
silver ore of a rather low grade, and
while they take out large amount of
silver, the net profits have not been
very large. They employ 400 men at
$3.50 each per day, making total of
$1,000 day for the mems wages.
When the company pays this 81 900 a
day to their workmen, they have to
pay it in money that costs them 100
cents for each dollar. These Blue
Earth county men who now own the
mine, intend to whoop 'er up and
elect Bryan, and have free coinage for
silver, and then, instead of having to
pay their men in money that costs
them 100 cents on the dollar, they will
just ship lot of their own bullion to
the mint and have the government
coin it for them into legal tender dol
lars, and use these dollars to pay off
their men. They can get SO cents
worth of their own bullion coined in
to dollar, and in this way they will
make nearly $500 every day in paying
their men. This $500 day will be
clear profit, and will amount to $780,
900 year. This sum added to the
regular profits from mining the silver
will in few years make the new
owners of the mine to be classed with
the silver barons. We extend our
congratulations to the new owners.

rADE FAST THE.
The Bicycle Races Thursday Proved
Very Interesting.

The third annual race meet given
by the Mankato Scorchers Thursday
afternoon drew very small crowd,
but were a great success so far as the
time made goes. The Concordia band
was present and filled in the time be
tween events very satisfactorily.
The officers of the day were
Referee and Handicapped, A. G. Mat
ter; starter, ]. R. Wysong; timers, Fl.
G. Snow, A. A. Brooks, A. E. Young:
judges, w. D. Willard, Ivan Parry,
Geo. Sugden.
The half mile open had eleven en-
tries, and was won by D. f. Car
michel, of ST. Paul, first, Geo. Sud
heimer, of St. Paul, second, and A. j.
Sweet third, time, LOT.
The mile handicap had fifteen en-
tries, and was won by Geo. Wilson, of
Madelia $50 yards, first, Chas.
Schwartz, 100 yards, second, and Car
michel, scratch, third, time, 2:l44.
There were fifteen entries for the
half mile handicap, and it was won by
Wilson, 100 yards, first, Chas. Weldon,
of Madelia Is yards, second, and Dud-
ley Warner, 80 yards, third, time, 1:01.
Eleven entered for the mile open,
which was won by Carmichael first,

third, time, 1922.
The first tandem race that ever &C.
Cured in this city, mile, was won
by Carmichael and Sudheimer, with
Sweet and Schwartz second, time, 2:22.
The strangers took most Of the
prizes, but the Mankato boys made
them ride hard to win. Had it not
been that some of the fastest riders
in the state were here, more of the
prizes would have been kept at home.
The time made was remarkably
fast, being almost down to the track
record. No serious accidents occurred.
The outside riders, accompanied by
Sweet and Schwartz, went to Madelia
to take part in the races there today.
They will go to New Ulm for the
races there tomorrow and will be
joined by John Weis.
Carmichael won S74 in prizes, and
Sudheimer $22.
The Scorchers dropped about S75 on
the races, owing to the poor attend
ance. One reason for the small turn
out was the meeting of the Republican
county convention.

Street politics are gradually settling
down for the people are making a
deeper and more thorough personal
study of the issues at stake.
The fact that the Silverites are
forming Bryan club has finally
leaked out, as sly as they have tried
to keep it.
Deacon William Thomas, of Win
dom, former resident of this place,
who has been stopping for a short
time past with Rev. w. G. Andrews,
had severe stroke OF apopleXy on
Wednesday. His condition seem to
be somewhat improved, but he is
still very sick man. The news of
his sickness is a great shock to his
many warm friends here.
The musical and athletic entertain
ment given by our home talent the
MarSton and StrOm brothers, together
with Arthur Tolitf, Thomas Hughes
and Hugh Roberts, was a grand sue
cess, which cannot always be said of
home talent. They had a large and
appreciative audience of the best peo-
pie in town, and were cheered to the
echo. There were solos, both vocal
and instrumental, dancing, tumbling,
juggling and other acts too numerous
to mention. The performance closed
by hair-raising high drop by Henry
Strom, The boys played at Butternut
Valley in the new town hall on Thurs
day.

the city have been shipping up to the
limit during the past month or two
and have helped the railroads out.

light. New wheat has not commenced
to move, and the elevators are being
