And Are Enthusiastic Over the
Opportunities For Invest
ment.
A DEAL FOR PROPERTY IS on
That Means Much For Fergus County
and the Development of Our
Mineral Resources.

A. S. Wright, always Industrious,
always moving, always energetic
always progressive, left last Saturday
morning for Chicago in company with
a party Of mining experts who have
been looking over the district for the
past two weeks, where he goes to close
up an important mining deal.
Just what the deal is we are not in
a position to state. But enough infor-
nation was given out to warrant us in
stating that we may look for some i'm
portant developments in the near fu-
ture.
In the party We're Professor Henry
). Powers, representing the Cudahy,
the great packing house man OF Oma-
ha Chicago, Mr.. A. l.. Reid and Geo.
T. Carr, each of whom represent Cap,
ital that will be invested in the deal.
The Democrat man had a pleasant in
terview with these gentlemen and
while they were inclined to be reserv-
ed as to the particular transaction in
which all We're interested they spoke
Immediately as to their ideas upon the
vast mineral resources Of Fergus co.
+. Prof. Powers of whom it may be
said there are few equals as an ex-
pert of mining properties is a scholar
ly gentlemen who has had vast exper-
fence in the line of work connected
with his profession, spoke entertain-
ingly and enthusiastically concerning
the wonderful possibilities of our fut-
ure from the standpoint of an adept
mining man. In the course of his con-
versation, among other things he said:
Il have visited the great Transvaal
Gold fields of South Africa, the min
eral regions of Central and South
America, the Honduras, the fields Of
Alaska, Old Mexico and nearly every
prominent district within the United
states and no where have / ever seen
country that gave so much promise
as does your mineral district here. l
have spent two weeks in your Country
this time and was here some three
years ago when / gained a slight in
trict from mining standpoint but not
until this visit did l realize the enor-
nous mineral wealth that your fields
conceal, and speaking generally as to
the varied and diversified resources of
your Country, nature certainly has
been exceedingly generous with your
Country. Your mineral resources are
practically unlimited, your abundant
coal fields, your vast agricultural re-
sources and great stock interests con-
stitute the foundation of country
whose possibilities are beyond meas
ure."
Nov, as to what we have accom-
plished while here I can only say for
your paper, that we are going to do
some work, and not upon any trifling
scale either. There are plenty Of
means behind US and when we take
hold it will mean much for your dis
trict

Mr.. Ayers, about as follows: Frank

ing for home he stopped at Kendall
Tor day or two, where he continued
drlhklnk quite heavily. Starting from
Kendall for his home he secured some
laudnum, which he is said to have
been in the habit of taking after his
customary spree in order that he
might quiet his nerves and thereby
secure some much needed sleep. Two
parties, whose names we did not learn.
We're present when Franklin took the
dose OF opiates and knew the reason
for his doing so. They left shortly af-
terwards and the next morning (Sat-
urday} johnson stopped at the Frank
lin place when he discovered that
FRANKLIN was dead, never having
aroused from the slumber arter taking
the laudnum. Mr.. Fuller was notif-
ed and he and Johnson came on into
Kendall and notified the authorities.
The deceased was single man some
45 years Of age and, so far as known.
mas no relatives in this state. The
neighbors took charge Of the remains
and they We're decently buried last
