stock at a par value Of 300.

Rip in the presence OF the large
crowd who enjoyed the sight.
Altho it was very windy in the
morning, by noon the wind had
ceased and the sun shown in all
it's splendor. The number OF
people on the grounds was far
greater than on the previous day.
The band formed and marched
as in martial array to the com
mand of their drum major, Col.
McGill. who in the splendor of
his gaudy uniform, gold braid,
gold epaulets and shake: won
the administration Of all. The
races were watched with intense
interest. There were the COW
boys race the boys race, ladies

PHILIPPINE girl who is about l6
years Of age. She is known thru
the West as the famous bareback
rough rider.
Altho she did not have the
likeliest looking horse, she won
the half mile by about three
length. Mr.. Newton's horse had
the best record Of the two days.
There was a foot race for the
young girls and the Minot boys
concluded from the way the girls
ran, that to carch one would re-
quire q considerable course Of
training.
The races over. a final concert
was given and the band was COM
plimented from every side. The
band was asked to play q few
pieces in the opera house before
the dance began. The Williston
orchestra furnished the music for
the dance and the Minot boys
settled down for an evenings en-
ljoyment. The WiIlistOn opera

boys believe that the girls are as

us. We arrived at the race course
and took our seats at the Grand
Stand erected for the occasion.
Before us lay the race course a
half mile around and in such an
excellent condition that it would
have been a credit to any eastern
city. The races and selections
from the band alternately occu-
pied the afternoon. The weather
was all that could be wished for.
The races we're all exciting and
many well trained horses were
on the ground. The lady jockies
Of Williston are just as anxious
to enter the races as the men.
! Everybody enjoyed themselves
immensely. The arrangements
were ezcellently carried out and
nothing was lacking. There were
plenty OF lemonade stands and
were well patronized as the dust
at times would almost choke a
person., Six o'clock came and
the saces were over and the peO-
pie returned to main streetwhere
the band played some operatic
selections until dark. This ended
the first days jollification at
| Williston.
The band retired early on
Thursday evening as there was
to be a dance in the opera house
on Friday evening to which the
committee had extended a acordial
invitation to the members OF the
band. Business was resumed on
Friday morning with notices
posted in conspicuous places that
at noon business would be sus-
pended until after the races and
concert. Everything looked
quiet, not many to be seen on the
streets. In fact it was concluded
! by the boys that Williston was a
very quiet place. Three Of the
boys secured from the livery barn
the Oldest veteran horse there,
Old Rip which was purchased by
the proprietor % years ago, and
was Just Z years old then, and
fitted him out with a harness
handed down from the middle
ages. Rip was hitched to oasurrev
that had been used before. 1t
had two seats, it's canopy was
made OF material SO expensive
that the last ofits kind was made
| three generations ago. The axels
were bent out at an angle Of 45
degrees. One wheel was minus a
few spokes. The proprietor ad-
vised them to take q bundle OF
hay and a pail which was tied
with wire behind the rig. Aship's
tow line was fastened around
Rips neck. When driving down
the street the owner OF the horse
concluded that slow aid old Rip
was, he would prove to be fast
enough for the Minot boys. He
bot a lot OF firecrackers and dis
tributed them among the crowd.
Two young fellows emptied the
contents OF a bottle Of hokey-
pokey on his ribs. The crackers
exploded and soon there was
something doing. Rips tootsies
went thru the dash board in the
twinkling OF an eye. The effect
of the hokey-pokey wasrapid and
efficacious and produced the de-
sired result. There was some
fast movements by the boys in
the rig but ALPS well that ends

rived at Williston at 6 o'clock.
The three and a half hours run
from Minot was an interesting
and enjoyable time for the whole
train. The band had the first
coach to themselves. After
wetting or rather moistening
their whistles, they set to work
to play a variety OF music to
entertain the crowds which had
deserted the remainder OF the
coaches, and sought space in the
bands coach. After playing a
few lively pieces, it was suggested
by a prominent member that
they march in Indian file and
visit the remaining coaches with
the sweet strains ofsOmepeaceful
lullaby in order to avoid disturb
ing any who might be indulging'
in the hopes Of reaching the top
Of the ladder, first seen by Jacob
in his historical dream. They
marched thru all the coaches
playing the solemn strains OF
Hot Time Dixie, We Won't go
Home till Morning, etc, and were
followed by q number OF passen-
gers who Joined in the familiar
strains with an exhibition Of their
vocal power. which they taxed to
their utmost capacity. Such was
the Journey from Nlinotto Willis
ton. The only relaxation was to
indulge in a good cigar from one
Of the many boxes presented by
some Of the business men before
our departure.
We arrived at Williston about
8 a. m, and were met by a mem
Der of the Sports Committee who
was deputed to conduct us to the
Great Northern hotel a distance
Of about three blocks. On reach
ing the hotel We diverted our
selves OF the paraphernalia which
encumbered us, or rather pre-
vented our playing while march
ing up the streets. in band for
nation. We then PLAYED a few
lively marches which madellnown
the advent OF the Minot Concert
band into the city Of Williston,
to be a realized fact. We were
all fatigued and after having a
good wash and breakfastin, we
sought the silent chamber for a
few hours Of much needed rest.
At - O'Clock we were aroused for
dinner, preparatory ior the after
Moons work. At ] O'Clock we
formed Il circle in front OF the
hotel and played Il few selections
ere we left for the race course.
Incidentally while standing in
front OF the hotel, aconversation
struck up between two little boys
Of Williston, one asked the other
who that tall dignifed looking
man was dressed different from
the rest and from whom we took
our orders. The other boy told
his companion he thought it
must be the Gar OF Russia.
Thereupon the smaller OF the
boys stepped forward and told
the supposed Gar that he would
have to lool. out as there were
,Japs living in Williston and he
was liable to be Happened. How

 MACHINERY FOR Swansea Property
NEW ROAD GETS IT WITH THIRTY
 MILE HAUL.
Present Haul is 65 Miles Southeast From cananea-other Mining Prop critics Will Benefit From New Route-Swansea Has Much Ore.

J. B. Tom1nson, the well known Pres colt mining engineer, was in the clty today for a brieI visit, enroute home from trip to the Swansea mine, which he is developing about e5 miles southeast Of Cananea. The work there is progressing so fayorably that the large Boston capital he has interested with himself in the proposition has decided to put in about $125,000 worth Of machinery at once. NJ. Tomlinson has about closed for this equipment. A 250-ton concentrating mill will be ;he principal feature of the equipment. Forty stamps will be employed A large amount of other equipment, in cluding hoists. rail cars, etc, goes with the contract Its items Will put the property in excellent shape to get speedily on a paying basis.
 Delivery of tlus machinery will probably be made over the new road to be constructed to Bacoachi. The haul by this read Will be reduced to 90 miles from the present figure of 65. properties will be much nearer rail and their value correspondingly in creased. Extensive development is also proceeding on several of these which will soon put them in the mar ket for machinery. The Swansea IS a high grade proposition. A consider able amount of ore is on the dump and much in sight in the workings. l. Is expected that the mill will be run steadily at full capacity and that de- velopment work outlined will open up ore bodies that will shortly make need for increased reduction works capacity.

plain.
 And the personnel of these compan- ies should be carefully looked into by people who wish to engage in mining enterprises. It is the principal thing to give careful attention to, for if the management is honest and skilled it knows enough to select the best chances. The right kind of men have no trouble in raising money to carry through their development tasks. They have the confidence of the public, and the rest is easy.
 The Arizona country, like ours, will have. many incompetent people at the heads of new mining ventures, and those who engage with such concerns will pay dearly for the experience It is feature of the business that can ont be eliminated. Poor properties will have good money wasted upon them, and not infreauently deserving places will be hurt by bad manage ment.
 Money is worth as much as ever. It takes hard work and time to win it and sn letting it go it will be well to know who is going to use it.
