A notice of the Vandewarker Coal
company appears on this page today.
This mine is one Of the best developed
mines in the state, with daily capacity
Of 400 tons, and facilities are being
created to make it double this outL ut.
The mine is located on the 500 railroad
at the new town Of Tasker thirteen miles
northeast Of Minot, and the quality Of
Ignite produced is far superior to any
other in the state. The Vandewarker
company has expended something in
the vicinity Of 10000 the past season
in Improvements on this mine, ana today
its Importance as coal shipping center
ranks far ahead OF any mine in Ward
county. #
A large number OF nov buildings will
be erected here in the spring, and as
Tasker will be metropolitan in its make
up, nothing but brick will do The city
council refuses to allow any wooden
building to be erected on Main street.
Plasterer Kirk tells US tina. Portal on
the 500, is in need Of Salvation Army,
to say nothing Of good police protection.
A dayer two ago man in that burg
was knocked down and robbed Of allhis
money aud his clothes, and that when
found was lying on the railroad track
with his matted and bloody hair frozen
to the rails. And this is only one OF
many such cases.
VIM. Leggett, representing the Ar
mour Packing Co., of Chicago, was in
the city yesterday. Chicagoans have
heard Of Tasker on tho Soc, and more OF
them are coming.
Cast your optics on the announcement
OF the Vandewarker store on this page.
This store carries an immense and su.
perb stock of dry goods, groceries, boots
and shoes, and full and complete line
of mining tools, in fact it competes with
any Of its kind in the west. Manager
F. B. Soule desires to give patrons the
very best goods for the least money.
A strong pull, and pull altogether
will put Tasker whore it belongs, in tho
