. RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

+: RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Postmaster Mitchell has a letter
from Congressman Marshall in regard
to rural free delivery routes in this
section in which he and Congress-
man Spalding are taking much inter
est. In connection with these routes
Mr.. Marshall has to say:
''Last sprjng there were. about
sixty applications for rural ssrOuteS
pending with fair prospects of about
One-half OF them being established.
At that time and since rule has
been rigidlv enforcd that requires
that there be one hundred families on
a route before a daily service will be
established.
:'Realizing that owing to the thin
sediments in the greater portion Of
the state that it would be Impossible
to get favorable action on any great
percentage of the applications pend
ing, l endeavOred to secure the order
for rule which would permit Of two
routes diverging from one postof1ice
with one carrier and an eyerv-Other-
day service on each route. This was
met with considerable opposition by
the department but they finally con-
Sented to hold the matter open till
Mr.. Spalding and myself could lay
the matter before the in person.
''We have succeeded in having
the rule established for an every
other-day servic on two routes where
there are at least a hundred and
tirtV families mot necessarily seventy
live on each.
IF you or your people are inter-
csted / shall be very glad to send all
necessary blank petitions and in
structions and answer all inquiries"
Here is the oppol tunity for our
people to get their mail delivered at
their doors every other day and
after the effort of our congressman
on behalf of the farmers of the state
they should make the most of the
opportunity offered them.

COLO BEA9|NG SAND
Renewal of Reports Of Gold Found ID
K,dder County. Geological
Formation.

The Steel Ozone recounts the state
m-nts made more positively than
ever that a gold bearing sand under
lies the locality Of Steele and that
said sand taken from the borings Of a
well l0S feet deep recently assayed in
St. Paul. by competent assayer,
showed gold at the rate Of 620 ounces,
or Sl2, 400 to the ton. The Ozone says
the iind is likely to make greater ex-
citement than a second klondyke.
The Steele Republican goes into the
details of the matter as follows:
"Certain parts Of Kidder county are
underlaid with strata OF gold bear
ing sand that varies in depth at diff
ferent places being from six inches to
four feet thick.
The geological survey of this section
of the county is very incomplete. The
survey deals only with the surface
formation.
The usual formation in this county
shows glacial formation. For instance
in some places there is about two feet
OF black or gray soil and then hard
pan. Below this is from six to twenty
feet OF brown clay and then from forty
to fifty feet Of blue clay of exceeding
ly hard and fine texture. Then comes
small layer OF gravel about two feet
thick that shows pyrites OF iron and
drift and that contains some gold
bearing quartz. Underneath it is
another layer of blue clay about the
same texture and quality as that
above. This ranges in thickness and
in places is twenty feet through, when
fine heavy black gray sand is found
that contains gold. Assays of this
sand run from a trace Of gold up to the
amount of the certificate we printed
last week, sl2, 400. This sand rests on
hard pan or soft stone formation we
haven't yet found out which. In
prehistoric time this section of the
country was no doubt an ocean bed or
that Of a river. The sand is evidently
a wash from the gold bearing hills
and mountains north and west and
for aught we know may be one OF the
richest gold fields ever discovered.
