primary measure, the caucus bill has
been pushed to the front by all sides,
receiving the support of those who.
previously to the disposition of the
primary petition, did not favor II.
The caucus measure is in line with
the recommendations of Governor

Honest John Tunnel Cut Rich Shoot.
Mining Gazette. Idaho Springs,
Colorado, Thursday, February 9, 1905:
The Honest John tunnel broke into
a vein last Friday and exposed a
large creyice OF mineralized quartz.
The vein is about five feet wide and
the pay streak owe two feet -thick.
An assay test shows a value OF S39. 90
per ton. The n is a splendid
quartz literally mixed with lead.
gray copper and zinc. For 200 feet
the tunnel has been in a vein forma-
tion and the ole now found seems to
be at the north wall of the vein.
The strike is at one a big paying
proposition and if it shall continue
for any considerable distance makes
the tunnel self supporting. The vein
was cut LOO feet from the moath of
the tunnel and-at a depth ..of about
600 feet from the surface. The lode
lies within the territory owned by
the company. The identify Of the
vein has not been determined. The
surface has been but little prospected
ana the territory is upon the out
skirts OF the mineral belt. The for
nation through which the tunnel has
been driven. however. gave warrant
for the expectation OF a rich vein.
With this discovery in the Honest
John tunnel and the Moore
mining a marketable ore will give
an immense impetus to mining OH

Acres in Corn, and 10000 Head of Cattle.

other, and compared to this the others
fade almost into insignifcance.
About fifteen years ago the original
cattle man residing at Winfield, Kan,
commenced leasing from the Indians
lands in he "Cherokee Strip" which
had not at that time been opened to set
Element, his friendly relations with the
Indians making this comparatively
easy. Originally the leased lands
were used only for the grazing OF cat
tie, but in recent years most OF the
land has been found so much more
valuable for .other purposes that a
large percentage OF it has been placed
under cultivation, the soil being a
rich red loan that will grow anything.
Since the death of the elder Miller
his sons, J. c., z. 7. and G.. L. Mil
ler have operated the farm.
BY degrees under their management
much of the land has been bought out
right, and more will be as the oppor-
tunity affords, so that in this manner
they have up to this time come into
actual ownership of about 12,OOO
acres From the Ponca and Otoe In
dams principally is leased the remain
der of the $1,000 acres, for which is
paid an annual rental of 81 per acre,
which arrangement is profitable and
! satisfactory alike to the white and the
red men.
The agricultural product of the
greatest importance on this vast farm
is wheat, with which this season more
than 5000 acres has been sOwn, this
one field being nearly one hundred
times larger than the average New
York state farm. Two varieties are
raised. namely, hard and soft winter
wheat, the two being kept distinctly
apart to prevent the tendency of mix
ing.
The Miller brothers claim that in
ordinary years, with an average weld,
they can produce wheat at net cost
tn them of twenty-five cents bushel,
owing to the extreme care that is used
in the selection of seed and the large
scale on which the operations are car
ried on. of which some idea may be
formed by the fact that in harvest
time more than four hundred men are
engaged, together with fifty reapers
and binders and four to six threshing
machines, all working in the same
field. This will also give some faint
idea of the vastness of the field.
Another cereal product of import

ance is corn, of which this year there is
about 5000 acres, the same careful at
tention being given to this as to the
wheat raising, so that a large quantl-
ty of this product is sold all over the
southwest for seeding purposes,
showing handsome premium over
other corn by reason of its fine quail
ty. In addition to these 500 acres is
planted in oats, and the rest of the
cultiPa ted land is divided between po-
tatoes, melons and other crops.
Besides raising grain and other
products the proprietors have large
peach, apple and other fruit orchards,
comprising many thousands of trees,
and .during the last twelve months
there have been planted 135, 900 locust
and other hardwood trees, with an
idea of increasing the property's fu-
ture value as timber land.
Aside from the agricultural branch
of the business the next in Importance
is the raising of cattle. thousands OF
which are marketed every year. At
the present time 10000 head are quar-
tered on the ranch, roaming over the
uncultivated portions, besides which
about five thousand hogs will this
wear be raised, the same careful at
tention to detail making this branch
extremely profitable. Poultry raising
adds considerably each year to the
income of the owners. An entirely
novel and most interesting feature is
the raising OF buffaloes, into which
the Miller brothers have this year en-
tered.
Last April Mr.. Miller set out for
Montana to purchase as many butfa-
loes as he could find, amounting in
all to thirty-three, thirty-two of which
we're safely landed at the ranch, the
other one escaping from the car. This
one noticed that the car had an OPP
nosite side, and after being forced
through the door continued right on,
and is probably still going.
In buffalo raising, however, there
seems to be great possibilities, as So
600 has already been offered for a
pair broken to harness, and owing to
their scarcity a skin is worth from
5000 to $500 and a good head about
the same price. They have already
succeeded in raising one calf
The large number of men on this
ranch are well and comfortably
housed. In ordinary seasons they
are kept in several camps, one of
which is at the home ranch, the men
sleeping in a bunk house, the others
being housed at convenient points
elsewhere. They are fed in large
dining hall, with plenty of good,
wholesome food, and no matter when
a man applies for work at the ranch
house he gets food and shelter until
he cares to seek further. No one is
ever turned away, even if there is no
immediate work for him to do.
The visitor to this, easily the larg-
est diversified and perhaps the most
interesting farm in the world, de-
parts mentally commenting upon the
Vastness of the enterprise and the hos
nitality of the owners of the acres and
acres of land rolling away in all d1-
rections almost as far as the eye can
see.

Traffic in young women, purchased
in Chicago for practical sale in all
parts of the empire of China, has been
discovered by local federal and police
authorities, but thus far no law has
been found prohibiting the exporting
of American women to foreign coun-
tries, says a Chicago dispatch.
The police are in possession of the
names of two women, one in Chicago
and another in Shanghai, China. who
are thought to be leaders in the prac-
tice.
The plan used in the operation of the
alleged ring was, it is believed, to first
hire unsuspecting women, tempting
them with lurid stories of wealth in the
Orient, A position of maid or high
servants in wealthy Chinese families
is said to have been the bait offered.
To bind the contract, the applicant for
the position was told that her travelling
and living expenses would be paid and
all the clothing necessary furnished.
When the women reached China
they were Immediately placed under
guard and sent to the purchasers, who
had previously paid from $500 to $1,000
for each.
Many are supposed to be held in pal
aces of wealthy Chinese under guard.

Mrs. Alice Ames Winter of this city
is the latest woman to achieve the dis
tinction of writing novel, which, its
publishers say, is sure to become one OF
the "best se1lers.' L. H. Wells, of the
book department of the Powers Mer-
camille company, who has read the ad-
vance sheets Of the book, which is to be
issued in Minneapolis at once, says:
It's -; = cracke15acks, and no mistake;
The story's scene is Minneapolis and
it's characters are Minneapolitan and
the HARDY is one, therefore, well
fitted to the locale Of the story.
Mrs. Winter is better known as Mrs.
Thomas G. Winter of 418 Groveland av-
enue, and altho she confesses that the
scene of her story is Minneapolis and
Minnetonka, she emphatically denies
Only one Of the book people is from
life. Mrs. Winter met Mrs Lyell years
ago in the east. Mrs. Lyell was res
cued, not from forest fire, as in the
story, but from burning house by her
husband. who thus won her devotion
and held it to the day Of her death.
Book Is Mrs. Winters First.
'tThe Prize to the Hardy,'' is really
Mrs. Winters first literary venture.
Several short stories which appeared
years ago in various magazines pre-.
ceded the novel, but it was only last
winter that Mrs. Winter began to plan
something more important. She was
confined to the house by illness and
when Mr.: Winter suggested writing d
book as pastime, she caught eagerly
at the suggestion. The story was writ

MINNESOTA IN THE FIGHT
Antitrust Bill and New Testing Meas.
.ure Hit at Rockefeller.

Minnesota s legislature will soon con-
slider several measures that concern the
standard Oil monopoly, and sympathy
with the Kansas agitation will have a
large share in determining the attitude
Of members toward these bills.
The Ofsthun- Rockne strust-buster, ;,
bill, introduced in the house Feb. il.
does not name Standard Oil, but MANY
OF It's provisions are directed against
the well-known practices Of the Rookie
Teller trust. The bill makes it q Eel
ony to suppress competition or to ac-
quire monopoly Of any part of the
trade, and provides for the condemna-
ton OF property owned in violation of
the act. 1t requires complete state
ments from corporations doing business
IN the state giving the amount aud
value OF stock, what was paid for it.
what dividends were declared. and q
sworn statement from the officers agree
ing to abide by the act. It also pro-
hibits all rebates.
Another bill is pending which pro-
vides gravity test for kerosene and
gasolene sold in the state, in addition
to the fire test now provided. This is
intended to shut out the low grade oil
sold in the state, which is all Consumers
are able to get in some communities.
A resolution is also pending in the
house providing for a legislative in.
vestigation of the oil inspection. It ia
quite likely that this will be amended
to call for general investigation Of
the monopoly in illuminating oils.
