STATE LANDS ARE CHEAP.

Auditor Dunn has not established eX-

of land agents. Mr.. Dunn does not
propose to sell any land under ~ an
acre. Roseau county acreage, when
is to be sold Oct. ~, must bring in from
| 81 to SO. or no sale.
Said a land agent: '"The people are

buys cheap tickets, interests some OF
the passengers on the train which n"
boards, introduces them to frm OF

..Cass county lands and those inCroW
Wing, which have a different soil from
that of Roseau lands. brings from
80 30 to SO per acre. The Roseau county

ing, yet land in Roseau, which is Az or

In Pembina county, across the line IN

1T is a very strange thing that we
cannot sell good clay lands for $8 TO
$3.50 per acre near town There Is
plenty of good land within 200 miles OF
the Twin Cities which is being over
looked. It raises all kinds Of crops
while the northern acreage yields only

Good Pay Streek While
G,,adinoc

Wallace, Idaho, July 6. = A striking
evidence of the lack of thoroughness in
prospecting the Occur d'Alenes is the
discovery of the Never Sweat lode in
Burke this spring. Near the upper end
of town a house was to be built. and
it was necessary to cut into the side hill
considerably to make room for laying
the foundation. In doing so the crop
pings of quartz ledge We're found.
The ground was badly broken, but the
evidences We're 50 numerous and favor
able that it was considered certain that
ahead with house the builder located
lode claim, and a tunnel was started.
The ground had been run over by hum
dreds of persons every day for II years,
and the owners of the new claim had to
stand considerab BILE chatting because of
their foolishn ss in spending money there.
Now the tunnel is in so feet, has a
depth of 35 or 40 feet. and the face shows
two feet of ore. A large part of it will
pay for shipping for lead alone. while it
carries silver and from SO to $40 in gold.
Not enough work has yet been done to
give any idea of the value of the dis
covery. The solid formation has but just
been encountered. The outlook is a very
promising one, and there are dozens of
men in the country who are wondering
why they never had sense enough to 10
cate it.
