EASTERN CAPITAL

Michigan People to Develop
Property on Large Seale-T.
W. Davidson Makes Deal.

On the report and recommendatio ior
Of Mining Engineers Browne 4
Smith. Of this city, T. w. Davidson,
who returned from the east few days
ago, placed the Olympia group OF
claims with Michigan capitalists.
These claims include the Olympia,
the Sunset, the Venus, the Frac.
tional, the Independence and the
Olympia Placer, all situated In the
Cracker Creek district between
Cracker and Sardine Creeks immedi-
tely west Of the famous North Pole
mine. Mr.. Davidson was first inter.
estcd In he property by Judge Evans,
Of this city. He bonded IL last
December from its original owners,
William Phillips and William Mel,
who have been In possession of the
property for the last four years dur
ing which time they did considerable
development work. Mr.. Davidson
continued this work, and on his trip
east he succeeded in signing the bond
over to Michigan capitalists, who, IL
il understood, will push develop
ment, and later when they get
around to II, install machinery. Mr..
Phillips, one Of the original owners,
who had contract for driving a tun.
mel on the property, was In the city
last week and WAS paid In full for the
work done and awarded contract for
200 feet more tunnel.
The group IL considered among
the best claims In the Cracker Creek
district, and Is near the famous
Mother Lode, which II parallels on
the western side. II IL situated
alongside the we'll known Mountain
View property which IL being de.
veloped by Engineer Esselsteyn, for
Portland people. Mr.. Esselsteyn IL
u graduate Of the Houghton school
of mines In Michigan, and was for
merly In the employ Of Captain DE
Lamar.
A 800 foot crosscut IL now being
driven from the Sariine creek side
to tap the Venus tunnel. thus giving
l25 foot depth of ore. 4 rich ore
body was exposed on Venus tunnel
u distance of seventy feet from its
mouth. The company has very little
to say about its prospective work,
but II Is understo ood that developments +,
are tn be carried forward with all
possible speed and machinery installed
when the work has sufficiently I'D

OF IMPORTANCE FOR AMERlcus
Is Large Deal Now Said to BE Closed
Here,


A deal which promises much for an
Americas enterprise is saidkto have
been consummated here yesterday.
Mr.. NJ j Root, a we'll known manu-
facturer of Buffalo, N. Y. and his at
torney, Hon. Fulton CoIville, a prom
inent lawyer of Atlanta, were in the
city vest 4rd4y, and it is generally un-
ders I'd that they were here by ap-
pointment to meet Mr.. d. T. Daven-
port and his attorney, Judge Charles
Crisp, relative to the sale of prepare
ton known as Quin- Olive, which Mr..
Davenport has spent much time and
labor in perfecting during the last two
years. Qdin-Olive is preparation of
quinine which promises great benefit
to the materia- me dica. The Times
Recorder could not learn whether Mr..
Davenport had sold his entire holdings
or whether he is to receive a royalty
upon his preparation, which perhaps is
to be manufactured in Buffalo. Neither
of the parties interested would give out
any information last night, bnt Mr.
Davenport will hardly part with sc
valuable preparation without large
consideration. His friends will con
graduate him upon this deal which, il
is SAID, runs into the thousands.

THE VALUE OF a COTTON MILL
Towns Having Them Always Pay
More For Cotton.


Americas had no cotton mill, but
such an enterprise here would. mot only
pay handsomely as a manufacturing
plant, but would put thousands of dol
lars annually into the pockets of our
farmers in the enhanced value of raw
cotton. AS an illustration; Americus
buyers are paying 81 cents for cotton
to be shipped to factory towns; yester-
day the little town of Harmony Grove,
away up jim north Georgia, paid 10
cents for cotton, to be consumed right
there in the manufacture of cloth-a
difference of 81. 25 per bale. Harmony
Grove has cotton mill; Americas has
none.

STARTS DIVORCE SUIT.
Mrs. Heathcote Sues for Separation
From the Minister.
From Saturdays Daily.

HTOm SATURDAY Dthy.
Last week Mrs. Heathcote, the wife of
Rev. Heathcote, who was arrested and
sent to Jail at Fergus Falls recently Tor
beating his wife, sued her husband for
a divorce on the grounds of cruel and in
human treatment A. G. Broker is Mrs.
Heathcote's attorney and the papers
were served on the reverend gentleman
at the Fergus Falls jail last Wednesday.
Mr.. Heathcote was very much affected
upon learning of the action taken by his
wife and he swooned when the papers
were served on him. He did not recover
consciousness for more than an hour, and
for time it was thought he would not
revive. Sheriff Irwin saw Mr.. Heatncote
last week and The Tribune learns that,
notwithstanding, Mrs. Heathcote has ap-
piled for a divorce, she would not be
averse to effecting reconciliation with
her husband. 1t is therefore doubtful ii
che divorce proceedings will be carried
forward. Mrs. Heathcote is still here
with her children and she is supporting
herself by taking in sewing and doing
needle work.-Wadena Tribune.
