The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1897-05-28

Several years ago a Richardson
county farmer notified Gov. Holcomb
that he had found in the sand near
Rulo both gold and silver, with strong
indications of diamonds. This time
the people are more modest and report
a find of gold alone. For long time
it has been known that gold existed in
the lower strata of sand on the farm of
VIM. Brannin, two miles south of Falls
City. Last week many prominent citi-
zens took an outing on Mr.. Brennin's
invitation and washed about two-thirds
of cubic yard of sand, finding gold
nuggets worth Sl4. The gold is found
just above the bed rock and it's pres
ence in this locality is not expected in
very large quantities, but it would pay
to mine it at the rate of yield Mr.
Brannin lost his wife and one child in
the tornado about year ago and
everyone hopes that his gold find may
be as valuable as it appears.

Shearing the Sheen.

A new industry, that of sheep shear
ing, was started at the Union stock
yards. South Omaha, last week. From
this time on until the sheep season
closes two or three sheep shearers will
be kept busy clipping the wool from
lambs and sheep that go to the coun-
try as feeders. The first day over 200
lambs were sheared and dipped pre-
paratory to being shipped to the feed
lots in the vicinity of South Omaha,
where they will be fattened. One man
can shear about 100 sheep in day,
and during the busy season it is more
than likely additional shearers will
have to be provided. The shearing
pens have been located in the Sarpy
division, just south of the exchange
building. These pens are only a short
distance from the dipping plant where
several hundred sheep can be dipped
every hour. Just now the sheep busi-
ness is on the boom at that market,
better prices being paid there than at
any market in the country

Railroads Aiding the Exposi,ion.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway has been added to the list of
railways that are standing up for the

Managers Il. t. Lindsey of the depart

Roscwater of the department of pub
licity, after securing the contribution
of 5000 from the Rock Island road,
in Chicago, called on the officials of
the Milwaukee road. They have been
considering the amount they could
best afford to give to the exposition
for some time past. After a brief con-
ference $4,000 was announced as the
amount of the donation. This makes

REVIEW OF TRADE,
Dun Sees Dmistakable Evidence ,

Dun Sees UD,nissakable Evidence of
Improvement.
New YORK, May PAR. G. Dun G.
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
"Unmistakaole evidence of improve
ment comes in the general increase
of commercial loans. mostly for
Eastern merchants or companies,
though some well known houses
in the middle West appear with
considerable rediscounts from the
South. Not for a long time have COM
mercial loans been fully half the whole.
The distinct change gives proof that
new business has been larger than
many have supposed. Receipts of
money from the interior exceed ship
ments s1,50o,eoo, mostly from the
Middle West. Exports of gold have
no influence and only signify the will
ingness of Russia to pay price for
the gold needed"
