But Suntete seemed inclined 70 be
friendly, and the explorer made friends
with him. Before long DR.. Peters had
entirely gained the confidence OF the
chief and had got from him valuable In
formation regarding the location OF
"Fura." He feasted and hattered the
dusky Suntete, and under the influence
OF the doctors hospitality the chief be-
came more communicative every day.
Finally he told the explorer definitely
where the ruins and the old workings
OF which he was In search were located.
The exploring party then set out up
the Muira river, and after travelling
fifteen miles came 10 the entrance 10
the Lupata Gorge. There before them
rose a great mountain, covered with
ruins and the remains OF old mines.
Below were other ruins and the marks
OF old surface workings. In the al
luvial soil by the river which rushed
between the mountain they found gold
and saw lodges OF gold-bearng quartz,
Great shafts pierced the mountain. and
built into its sides were store houses,
while here and there ran roadways
hewn through the living rock.

fore him lay King Solomon's mines

seems TO have pointed for ages TO the
region where they were discovered
Those who heretofore have contended
that Solomons 0phr was in Southern

Big Increase In Valuation Over Re-
1-,A. turns OF Last Year.
Bismarck, Aug. 1.-THE state
board of equalization is equalizing
the assessment of the items of
personal property item by item,
and the work is taking little
longer than expected. The board
has finished about half the items
of personally, which number over
twenty. The completed abstract
Of the assessment in the various
counties in the state show the
total value of personal property as
returned by the assessors to be
S24,676,O26. This is an increase
Of $2,20O,O00 over the return of
personal property to the state
board last year. The largest re-
turn is made by Cass county,
which returns S2,475,00O. Six
counties in the state return over a
million dollars of personal pro-
perty each, Cass, S2,475,00O; Grand
Forks. $l,786,0Oo; Pembina, ST.
10000; Richland, s1,250,0O0;
Trail, 81, ,lOl, 900; Walsh, sl,261,-
900. Oliver returns the smallest
amount of personal property in the
state, $94,l5O.
The largest single item of per-
sonal valuation in the state is that
of horses over three years old.
There are 2O4,24O returned by the
assessors and the average value is
a little over $50, making the total
value IS, ,735,244. The total asses
sed valuation of all classes of
horses in the state is about 81 800
600, and Of cattle about $5,OOO,OOO.
There has been considerable
increase in the return Of live stock
over last year. There are 114,0O0
head Of cattle one year old re-
turned this year against $4,000
last year; of two year old cattle

$4,000 are returned this year
against $4,000 last year; last year
there were 10000 COWS returned
and this year there are $4,000.
The number of sheep returned
has increased. Last. year there
were 265,O00 returned and this
year there are 100000.
Some interesting items taken
from the property returns are as
follows: There are 4,421 bicycles
returned for assessment, 2,819
pianos, 62.O59 wagons and car
riages, 4,547 organs and melodeons,
1929 separators and horse powers
and l,439 threshing engines and
boilers. The state is wofully short
on jewelry, gold and silver ware,
diamonds, and other similar
articles of display and adornment,
for in the whole state only 1884
in gold, silver and plated ware is
returned, and only $l8,189 in dia.
monds, watches and jewelry.
The total assessed valuation OF
Goods and merchandise of stores
in the state is only $3,044, ,485, Of

Of the state. Their ranges are
shorter than ever before, and there
has been little hay cut this sum-
mer. The grass is short and like
tinder and prairie fires are swsep-
ing the ranges for hundreds of
miles. Cattle will be shipped as
closely as possible, for if they have
a heavy snow this winter there will
be big loss of live stock.
It has been discovered that
many of the prairie fires that have,
destroyed the grass on the ranges.
in Montana and in the western
part of Dakota have been started
by the concentration of the rays of
the sun upon broken beer bottles
that are scattered freely along the
cattle trails and wagon roads,
which offers a new argument for
the use of the temperance folk.
Numerous fires have started far
away from human haunts and
habitations, miles beyond the
reach of sparks from the smoke
stack of a locomotive, and the farm
ers and ranchmen have been so
mystihed as to their origin that
several Investigations have been
made. When a fire has been
traced to it's source, in almost
every instance a broken bottle has
been found with evidences around
it to convince the investigators
that it was the cause of the mis-
chief. The curved glass was lying
in such a position as to focus the
rays of the sun upon tuft of dry
bunch grass and start a flame.
Thus is the beer bottle the
source of an immense amount o1
damage that has been unsupported
hitherto.
