Senator McGiIIivray Finds a Lead
Mine In the Western Part of the
Dickinson Recorder: Register Nc
Ginivray is exhibiting a sample of lead
ore taken from. a well about seven
miles south of Beach few days ago.
The find is between three and four
feet thick and only forty-one feet from
the surface. An expert miner who has
seen the sample says it will run from
45 to IS per cent pure lead. Quite a
find for western North Dakota. MI.

Mr.. Jones departure from Devils
Lake involves his also giving up the
charge at Lakota, York, Crazy anL
Webster, in all which places he has
done very effective work and is much
beloved.
Especially will he be missed in La
kota, where the people recently made
a gallant effort to have him settle.
and offered salary phenomenal for
that town.
At Devils Lake Mr.. Jones has &C.
comphshed much. He turned the mis-.
sion into a self-supporting parish; he
enriched the church with many fur
nishings; he presented large confrma-
ton classes. But, best of all, he so
taught his people that, sorry as they
are to have him depart, they are ready
to, greet cheerfully and support loyalty
Whomsoever may succeed him.
Mr.. Jones' work as Archdeacon will
be somewhat anomalous, in that he
will have no deacons or other clergy
under him; for while at least he will
be the only one in his great field. His
work will be that of a general mission
airy, but this is precisely the kind of
work he delights in, and is admirably
fitted for.
= The Rev. George J. Childs will have
temporary charge of the parish in
Devils Lake, until a rector is elected.
This Will include the care of Webster
and Crary; while York will be joined
to the field of Rev. Mr.. Moorhouse.

Fire Insurance Losses.
BALTIMORE, February 49, - The Balti-
more Underwater in its issue tomorrow will
print the list of losses of al the fire insur-
ance companies in the Baltimore fire The
total gross loss Is $50, ,S64 1914, of which
s6,O0o,OOO falls upon the local companies.
The estimated total Of salvage is 81 7eo :
762, which leaves a net loss to the insur-
ance companies of $31, ,O95, 1872.
1t has been learned that many of the
large wholesale dry goods houses formed
an insurance pool among themselves which
amounted to about $1,000. 600 from which
practically nothing will be realized. An
other development is that very few of the
tenants of the so-called fireproof buildings
carried any insurance
