A GENERAL REVIEW
OF THE DISTRICT.
Mining Operations Still in Full BIast-A CONNER
ciaI Club for Marion.

At the Young Jim mine, owned
by Messrs. Blue d Num-, and
operated by Supt. G harles
Grange, they are getting ont ore
at about 30 feet which will mill
40 per cent mine run, and this
shaft, when as deep ss the Column
bia, will no doubt produce equally
as rich ore as the Columbia, They
now have their crusher in posi
ton and running steadily. They
are at present separating their
ores by the hand jig process and
making speedy shipments.
All Of the shafts which have
been SUNK on the Columbia lead +,
proves beyond "a doubt that it lie a
irue fissurs vein, with the lime
rock foot wall and slate hanging
wall. The direct trend OF this
vein for the considerable distance
it has been developed also charao.
terizes it as true fissure. The
"pitches" and slides" termed
feeders" by most all miners, }
which come into the Columbia
frequently. is another proof OF the
true assure, as we'll as the vast de
post of ores to great depth.
There is also a strong possibility
Of these assures producing rich
copper ores at a depth Of about 3,
600 feet
The most important mine on the
LaRue vein is the Big Four, IN
charge of Mr.. A. ID. Noe. They
have a long open out about GO feet
deep. and from 4 to 10 II in width
The vein at this point seems to be
about Is feet wide, but the ore
has not been taken out for the en-
tire width and is very rich in lead
spar and zinc. They have taken
out several thousand tons of ore,
and have marketed their fuor
spar. At the bottom of their
shaft the spar is giving out and
is being replaced by lead and
zinc, comparing favorably in quail
Iity with the ores taken from the
Columbia vein.
On the LaRue lead outcrop.
pings have been found at several
differant points, which show ore
to the surface. This lad, with a
little more development work
along it's course will without doub'
prove to be a very rich one, anc

A COMMERCIAL GLUE.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 1G 1904.
Mr.. Q. Ii. Whitehouse, Marion,
Ky.-My Dear Sir: Yours of the
9th inst. informing US of move
ment in your town to organize a
Commercial Club is at hand. l
congratulate you upon deciding
on that movement. A CONNER
cial Clnb is the most useful or
ganization that can ba started in
town or city.
This Louisville CONNER ola |
Club has contributed more infu-
ence in promoting prosperity in
Louisville and Kentucky than any
other organization that wo know
of. OF course in a small town like
Marion. with $500 inhabitants,
you could not expect to organize
a club such as we have in this
city, but it is possible to organize
one commensurate with your needs
and population.
| will enclose under another
cover a copy of our bylaws and
list of members. This list is two
years old and is consequently very
incomplete, because in the next
one we publish we will add five
hundred names to 1t. and We are
not going to stop adding until we
have a membership of two or three
thousand. There is nothing that
can WELD such a potent influence
as a Commercial Club, except like
organizations, such as Board oil
Trade and Chamber of Commerce
| | would advise in the first place
that the officers be composed oil
President, Vice President, SecrS-
tary, Treasurer, and i've directors
and the directors be chairman Of
your standing committees, such
as City Development, Membership
| Finance, and such others as you
would choose to make. The fret
thing to do will be to get mp
spirit of enthusiasm and securt
members.
Our membership is composed oI
merchants, manufacturers, preach
ers, doctors, and all classes of men
as it is non partisan and non sec
tartan, and they are all Joined to
gether for a common good.

An Interesting Bottle.

st. James, Mimi,
Dec. Is, 1904.
HON. JUDsoN LAMoURE:
Some forty years ago when l was
making the only surveys in North Da-
kota, planted an oak post near the Red
river which marked the boundry of North
Dakota. AS witness there was c. Cava-
lier, Old Joe Rolette, Enos Stutsman and
myself, and we planted bottle of British
rum at the foot of the post, and Stutsman
said the one that lived the longest should
have the last drink. / wish to ask you
if the post and flask is Still there.
Your friend,
MOSES K. ARMSTRONG.
Mr.. Armstrong sur veyed the line rum
ming north from Frog Point" to the In
ternational boundary it being the line
running between townships 81 and So
which is about three miles west Of this
city. When Mr.. A. reached the Inter
national boundary which he located by
his claiming, he then turned east and run
the. line to the Red river placing the post
as he states. This line ran close to, the
old Parenteau house in Huron City"
but north Of it, which was quite dis
comfort to the Canadians as at that time
the British customs was located in that
house. The old house was taken down
about two years ago. The customs Of.
tice remained iii the house for some
years after. Later when the boundary
line was definitely and accurately locat'
ed by the international boundary com.
missionin 1872 or about that time, the
line was found to be about twenty rods
Still farther north. Mr.. Armstrong; sur
vey left the quarters next the boundary
line all short about ten acres or so, and
when the little vacant strip north was, al
forwards surveyed INTO ''lots extending
across the width of the quarter sections
they were found to contain about 4.
acres north of Pembina township mex
the Red river and then gradually narrow
ing along the county line until north O
Walhalla they run as low as about q
acres. Many people have wondered Aov
this narrow strip came to be there ant
this is the explanation. There are man,
farmers whose farms consist entirely of
part Of this narrow strip along the lin
having farms 20 to 80 rods wide and
mile or two long.
| The post referred to has long sine
disappeared. All the witnesses to ID
deposit Of the bottle are dead excep
Mr.. Armstrong. Undoubtedly however
there are still living many or the oil
timers that knew its location as it mus
have stood thele for several years a
least. The bottle would certainly be
i: valuable relic if it could be reclaime
and perhaps in the spring when the fros
gets out Of the ground some search ma
be made for it. Put old Joe Rolette wa
fond of good whiskey and it is somewha
doubtful if the Sc rch be successful.
