negative and were awarded the decision.
The teams were very evenly matched and
the debate was exceedingly interesting.

but Faribault won the decision on points
of argument. The result of the debate
is highly appreciated here, in view Of the
fact that this Is but the second team in

CROOkSTON LEADS OFF
Its Company Ranks First In Attendance
Upon Drills.

LAKE CITY, MINN.-The following
table has been compiled from the consol-
idated report received at the adjutant
generals office on the attendance at drill
Of each company Of the national guard
during December. The standings are not
UP to the average, but allowance for this
is made from the fact that the busy sea-
son prior to the holidays kept the men
from attending drill.
One noticeable fact is that the youngest
company-Company I, Third regiment, Of
Crookston-takes first place in the brig
AIDE. while Company A. Second regiment
New Ulm, stands at the foot with per-
eentage Of less than so. In order of regi-
ments the battalion Of artillery takes first
place. These standings have not been
published each month in the past, but
Adjutant General Libbey hopes to do this
in the future as it has tendency to slim
ulate the interest:

BUTTE. MON.-Miners from the Wa
bigoon district i'm Canada, who have
reached here. tell Of a strike Of gold made
in the Big Master mine that apparently
holds the worlds record. A lead has been
uncovered varying from two to six feet
in width, which will give an average as
say of 81, 900 to the ton. The yellow met
al is so free in the rock that it can readily
be cut with a knife. The ore chute ap-
pears permanent and it IS estimated that
there is about 100000 in sight ALREADY.
Before the rich strike the Master was
producing about $1,000 a day.
The Big Master mine was formerly I'M
der lease and bond to J. c. Barker and
Henry Burrell of Great Falls, Mont. They
failed to take up the property and later it
passed out of their hands for a nominal
sum.
