Prosperous OakdsIe Rancher.

There are a great many people in this
part Of the country who have we'll
equipped ranches and who are raising
good cattle. Rasmus Jensen, located
as miles north of Dickinson, near the
kildeer mountains, is one of them. His
ranch is in he u~nsurveyed territory,
but this will not prevent his getting a
homestead when the land comes into
market. The ranch has a fine spring Of
water and Mr.. Jensen has forty acres Of
land under cultivation where he raises
millet and grain with which to keep his
calves growing in the winter. He
raises only Hereford cattle and is salts
hed that they are the best breed of
cattle for this country. Mr.. Jensen
brands 100 calves this year, which he
says is not an average crop at his place.
The cold rains in the spring caused him
to lose more than usual. BY experience
he has found that it is best to vacci-
nate calves twice and this is done just
before having and again in December.
hi year Mr.. Jensen did not ship much
and next season he should have FIVE or
six carloads of fine Hereford steers for
market. He figures that his 3-year old
steers turned back this fall should gain
400 pounds by another fall and that the
additional weight will make them sell
2:5c per hundred higher on a market no
better than the one this year, which
will make him good returns on carrying
them over. MIR. Jensen commenced in
the cattle business IS years ago by buy
ing four heifers with money which he
had saved while working on ranches.
lie kept on saving his wages and in
,vestlng it in cattle and a few years later
located on his present ranch. The past
season Mr.. Jensen erected a house in
Dickinson where his family will spend
the winter and his oldest child attend
school.

Mott was shot and Shott was not. In

Ed Wilson,, a prisoner in the county
Jail who was sent from Montello a few
weeks ago, is supp Ised to be the mnr-
derer OF the sheriff Of Eau Claire county,
Wisconsin, for whom a reward OF $500 Is
offered. In general appearance, Wilson
conforms closely with the description OF
the man wanted. Constable Mccoy had
Wilson's picture taken and sent a copy
OF it to the sheriff at Eau Claire who re-
Quested that a side view be taken and
for varied to him. This has been done
although Wilson did not like the idea.
The crime for which Wilson is wanted Is
the murder OF the sheriff Of Esu Claire
county ON the 18th Of June this year.
Wilson was chreged with burglary and
the sheriff tried to arrest him ON a pas
seuger train. When arrested at Mon
tello, Wilson had a complete kit OF burg
lar tools i'll his possession. Constable
Mccoy Is quite positive that he is the
man wanted in Wisconsin.

Alum Deposit In Nevada.

About ten miles north OF Silver Peak,
III Esmeralda county, Nevada, there
lies by the roadside a-deposit Of alum
and sulphur which he's been many times
coated and prospected rs a sulphur
mine. No, until recently, however, has
the relatively important amount OF
alum in it been reoogulz-i. Daring the
last year the deposit wns examined by
Mr.. J.. Il. Spur OF the United States
Geological Survey, who says:
At the locality mentioned there is al
elongated, neck-l like mass OF rhyolite
which is decomposed in part to a white
powdery variety. This is especially true
OF the two pOrtIoua examined, which
are about GJ0 feet apart, one about 200
feet IN diameter, the other abont 80 feet.
The former, ut the south end OF the area
under conside ration contains tile chief
alum and sulphur deposits. The latter
contains sulpur but no alum. In the
larger area the decomposed rhyolite
shows sulphur throughout, in all cracks
and crevices, but never, so far rs seen,

chemist Of the survey shows it to be an
Ordinary potassium alum. 1t forms
veins, some OF them several inches thick
that split md ramify ~irregularly
through the broken masses Of altered
rhyolite. There are also occasional
gypsum seams, OF the same habit rs the
alum, but much less aboudant, also
bright red spots thought to be cinnabar.
When exposed to the air the alum
rapidly crumbles to u white powder,
30 that it is not conspicuous in the out
crop. and the real amount Of it present
ia visible only when it has been taken
out. Tho decomposed rhyolite within
the productive area is so friable that tho
material could easily 10 worked on a
large scale. Tho rhyolite itself in the
Glum locality has been found by analysis
to contain n large percentage OF alum.
Tho whole desposit. therefore, would
have to he worked, md the sulphur
could be collected as II by.product.
