WATERFOWL BOY IS
INVENTOR Of UNIQUE
AUTOMOBILE ENGINE

WATERFOWL, S. D., June 2S.-Water-
town has a young inventor whose name
bids fair to become known throughout
h country. Steve Briggs is the young
man, ana he has a patent pending on
u gasoline engine that for the great
power generated and the small space
occupied by 1t and its light weight is
far ahead of any other automobile en-
gine on the market.
That the invention is unique is
proved by the large offers being re-
ceived from automobile manufacturing
companies for the patent. but the in
ventor is too shrewd to sell. He has
decided to give the exclusive right of
manufacture to a Milwaukee company
which for the control of the patent is
to give him II liberal royalty on each
machine put out. MIR. Briggs leaves
for Milwaukee next week to superin-
tend the construction of his invention.
He has just graduated from the en-
gineering schoo of the state agricul-
tural college at Brookings, and is an
expert mechanic.

FORMER IOWA MAN
NOW ALASKA MILLIONAIRE

Speartisn, S. o.. June 2S.-From
Alaska comes the news that John
Johnston. famous in the history Of
the Black Hills. is slated to become
equally so in the present day doings
of the northern gold country. 1t was
this man Johnston who headed one of
the first expeditions into the Black
Hills in re. 1t was known as the
Centennial expedition because of the
year. and started from Ames, Ia, all
OF the members of the party, with one
exception, being natives of that town.
After thrilling experiences they ar
rived, six in all in the Hills, and finally
founded the now we'll known city OF
Spearfish. Johnston, who was the
principal mover in the enterprise
throughout, had also the distinction OF
being one Of the founders of the first
newspapers in Spearfish. and for a
number of years was identified with
numerous mining n business enter
prises. Now, he has become a million
aire, having struck it rich in Alaska.
Just now he has jumped into public
notice, because of a famous suit which
he has just brought against the Tread
well Mining company. n of the rich
est and most profitable mines in North
America, and involves the possession
OF a strip of land which the company
thought 1t owned, but which, Johnston
alleges. was never properly located. He
has now located the strip and applied
for a patent.
