BY r. X. Steinbrueck5

The first missionary to bring the
gospel of Christ to the Indians Of the
Northwest and the Western part Of
4 our present state Of North Dakota
was the. Jesuit father, IF Pierre
Jean DeSmet. He was born on Jan
uary Both, 1901, in Termonda, Bel
GUM and was one Of the twelve nov
u Ices who wandered from the Chesa-
peake to the Missouri, to be one Of
the inmates Of the newly established
4 novitiate at st. Louis in 1923. In the
year 1888, now a Pater, r. DeSmetS

B the Indians Of the Rocky Mountains,
n He founded "a Missionary station.
4 among the Poawatoinies In 1910 we,
q ind him at his blessed work In the
1 Bitter Root valley, among the Fiat
heads, the Snake indians and the
u Pendd Orilles. His field of CONVEX
I sion extended as far as Fort Union,
oppcsite the mouth Of the Yellow
stone river. Thence he decended
the Missouri river as far as Fort Rice
visiting on his journey the Mandans,
the Arikara and the tHidatsa Indians
on their reservations Of Fort Bertheld..
Thus in september, 1910, 1t was the
first time that a christian missionary
traversed the upper territory, which
is now a part Of the state Of North,
Dakota s3#
5ss3. In 1842, on his return from Fort
Vancouver to st. Louis, 1T was the
second time, that he, going down the
Missouri. crossed our state again,
teaching, consoling, pacifying and
spreading the holy sacraments Of bap-
tism and Of matrimony. He was the
one white man, in whom the poor,
illtreated Indians had implicit faith,
to whom they looked up as to d.
father, whom they respected and hon
ored and obeyed because they recog-
nized him to be pure Of heart, honest
and unselhsh. 3.
From 1S44-1S46 P. Desmet spent
his time among the Flatheads and the.
Blackfeet; who were hostile to each.
other He succeeded IN bringing On
peace between these two tribes. He.
also warked among the Nez Perce's
and the Crows.
After an absence Of three years and
six months he returned from Fort

visiting his Indians ION the way and
administering to their religious wants.
The whole Columbian valley had been
dotted with il FAINT estah lishue and

tire northwestern region. .s.
The great rush and increasing Inn
migration Of white settlers into
Oregon has caused the Indians to feel.
uneasy and alarmed, seeing their once
Il
undisputed domain slip away from
them. Disturbed, they became hos
tile. Councils with the Indians were
arranged for by the government and
Desmet was called upon as peace
i maker. Not once. but many times,
and he was always successful in re-.
storing peace and submission, task
that 10 other white man could have
accompl ished. ss
Owing to jealousy and false reports
about p DeSmet' work Intentions
and achievements. his blissful work
among the Indians was interrupted
for over six wears. The Indians had

last visit to the Upper Indians in 1851.
He returned in July, 1859, to St.
Louis, again by the great waterway
of the Missouri. baptizing on his route
Lover 900 Indian children. IN the sum
Imer of 1862 he travelled once more
the long distance from st. Louis to.
Fort Benton and back, in fullfilment
of his religious work among the In
dams. & After Generals Sibley's and
Sully's military expedition against the
Sioux in 1868, P. DeSmet left, st.
Louis again April goth, 1864, on a.
peace commission after his own mind,
having refused to accompany mili-
tary force Of war, he, a messenger Of
peace and love. He remained at Fort
Berthold nearly all summer among
our Mandan's Arikara and Hidatse.
In the year 1866 he made his first
journey to Fort Benton Early in
1867. once more requested by the sec
rotary of war to pacify the hostile
Sioux, he went as far as Fort Buford
stopping on his way at Forts Thomp-
son, Snlly, Rice and Berthold, where
hundreds and thousands Of Indians
were waiting at the landings to see
him and shake hands with him. Where
ever he showed himself, peace. was
with him. In 1868 he only travelled up
the river as far as Fort Rice on a
peace commission, including Generals
Sherman, Sheridan. Harvey, Terry
and others, who turned off to Fort
Laramie, while P. Desmet betook
himself across the plains. directly
west about $40 miles to see Sitting
Bull and his 5000 hostiles. After a
council, peace was in sight and thus
p. DeSmet had succeeded in solving
the most difficult problem, outside of
any other white mans power. His
achievement is the most remarkable
in the history Of our Indian wars.
Ten times had he entered or

en- simple little problem can you take
a paper and pencil and figure out the
correct answer? 5
Without intending to cast any re-
Elections upon your accomplishments
in this direction. we are going to work
the problem for you. just to save you
the trouble, but bear in mind that no
estrictions are placed upon your
proving" the figures Here you are: 4
Question-If Is cubic feet Of ore in
place, that is, in the vein, weighs one
ton, how much does an ore body weigh
that lis 1000 feet long, $50 deep and
s feet wide?
Answer ,00Ox530x6 equals $780,
900 cubic feet; divided by Is, equals
1928 tons.
Question If this ore is worth, $40 90
per ton, what is the value Of that ore
body? a,, ", . sy
Answer 81, S92, $50.
Question: the average of cost Of
mining and milling this ore is $3.50 per
ton, what is the net value Of that ore
body? 5
Answer-$3, 669, 1856.
The above has special and partic-
ular reference to two Of the claims in
the group Of Is owned by our com
pany. One Of the claims is $500 feet
long and the other 500 feet long. The
ore body was cut at depth Of 4S0
feet under the surface by the long
cross cut tunnel, and subsequently a
shaft was sunk ON the vein to a depth
OF SO feet below the 4S0 foot level.
There are two other veins which
have been opened to the extent of
$500 feet on their course, with an
average depth Of 225 feet, and from
which something over $1,7oO,O0O has
been recovered. Approximately IS
per cent OF the ground has been work
ed out to the surface which leaves
something over $500, 900 of recoverable
values in place. NJ
AT one point in the workings on
these two veins a shaft has been sunk
to a depth of 1853 feet and levels driv-
en- from the bottom thereof to suffi-
cient length to demonstrate the com
tinuity Of the veins, and also that the
veins increase in width and mineral
ization., This brings us to another
simple question in arithmetic Given,
an ore body $500 feet long, 1853 feet
deep and 8 feet wide, how much does
the entire ore body weigh?
Answer 500 x 168 K equals s.
100000 subic feet, divided by 10,
equals 258,461 tons.
The average value Of this ore IS
much better than $1,000 per ton, but
taking that price as a basis, we have
recoverable values here Of $3.50, $40,
but with the mining and milling cost
deducted, a net value of $1,93S,45S.
Remember these net recoverable
values are. confined exclusively to the
ore bodies which have been opened
up, proven up, absolutely in sight, to
be inspected by all men and demon
strated to the point where the imag-
ination ceases to be a factor; also re.
member that only the established
rules have been applied in determine
ing the quantities and values as given
above.
In addition to these Sin sight val

ues, there are not less than 100000
tons Of tailings impounded in the tvs
dams, and If the very eonserYati Is
estimate Of $500 per ton is placed
upon them, here is $500, 900 more to be
added to the total, with the enormous
tonnage in the three placer claims YET
to be considered
The detritus covering the placers
has been estimated by engineers to
run as high as 500 900 tons. The low
est estimates have been 200, 900. If
100000 tons is regarded as reason
able estimate, and the recoverable
values placed at $500 per ton, Cal
though as high as $140O has been
recovered, here is $4,000 more to
be added, with a grand total of some
thing over 81 ,0OO, 900, regardless of the
fact that we have never claimed more
than Sc 100000 in sight.
The overpowering reflection that
attaches inevitably to our proposition,
that follows the whole trend of the
argument, or rather the simple state
ment of facts, is this: If there are
over $4,000, 900 in values in sight on
property that has. scarcely been
scratched over, what would be a fair
estimate Of the values below the Plies
ent workings?
No living man can answer this with
certainty, and the dead ones won't,
but It is positively known that in this
district every 1900 foot claim yields
81 ,000. 900 for every 100 foot level, snd
that one Of the claims adjacent to our
Is down 1900 feet. With our 5000
feet of developed, or proven mp
claims extending to depth of 1000
feet, and each 100 foot level carrying
the same approximate values, the to-
tai should be in excess Of $50, 000. 900.
And it should not take lifetime to
develop our property to the ], 900 level.
AS matter Of fact, the properly should
be opened up and the values recog-
cred to that depth within the ensuing
ten years, or an annual production of
81, 100000, which is quite within the
bounds of reason for a property of the
magnitude OF ours. rs /. IT Z. S.
But always remember we are not
selling our stock on a basis of any
such recoverable values. Keep it
strictly in mind that our representa-
tions are on a basis. of $500, 900, be
cause that is good enough for any
body, and ought to be good enough for
you. II,
On the basis of our representa- 1ns
our stock is worth $3.50 per share.
lIt is cheap at any price below 50 40
per share. but because we need the
money we are selling small aEot-
men at the distinctively bargain price
of 40 cents per share. We have in
timated pretty strongly in. our adj:
yertisements that the price was likely
to move nm without notice, iG other
words, be advanced, and the next adj
vance will be to so cents.
Several of the most prominent. gen.
tlemen in the city have become the

WILL UTILIZE THE TIMBER.

Among the resources of the Rich ardson Construction Company in its great holdings on the lower Ya- qui, are about S0,000 acres of land covered with fine growth of mes quite trees, many of which have boles three feet or more in diam eter at their bases. It is the in- tention of the company to utilize these trees to the best possible ad- vantage, and instead of cutting them for fuel, to be disposed of as rapidly as possible, which would be the policy of many, they will be conserved, and used for purpos- es fully as utilitarian, but of ma terial value far greater, particular ly should the experiments in that line projected by the manager. Mir. Carl F. Adam, prove successful. MT. Adam believes that the mes quite will prove very useful for the manufacture of furniture and kindred useful articles. The wood is very hard, of beautiful natural color, and susceptible of a high polish. It will not glue, but the various parts or sections of any article can be securely joined by the use of mortises and tenops, or pins and auger holes. It is in that way that the very stylish and dur able colonial style of furniture is made. Mir. Adam holds to a belief that the mesquite can be made in- to very handsome furniture of the style named. At any rate he Is preparing to make the experiment.
 At Esperanza there has been re- ceived, and will be installed short ", a saw mill to be used in con verting mesquite trees to timber, and machine saws, planers and shapers, to cut the timber into the sizes and shapes from which to make colonial furniture, and with use of that machinery the manu- facture of furniture will be inaugu rated.
 Some varieties of eucalyptus are also available for furniture, and If the experiment inaugurated by the company for propagation of the various varieties of those trees in the Yaqui delta proves successful, there will be other woods beside mesquite avaible for the manufac- ture. As all of the furniture in use in Sonora has been, and is yet, imported, and the state, with the other states along the west coast of the republic, offer great and con tinually expanding market, 1t would seem that the opening of fered will make the enterprise about to be inaugurated at Espe- ranza very profitable; and it bids fair to turn out valuable addi- ton to the productive resources of the state. It will support an in- telligent population, which will make useful and valuable citizens, and whose wants and necessities will make a home market for some of the products of the rich and fer tile agricultural lands in the vi- cinity.

REVEALS CLOSE

The revival meetings which have
been in progress at the First Christian
church for the past six weeks came
to a close last night. Ten were added
to the church yesterday, making a
total of 376 during the meetings. The
attendance at Bible school was 1347.
During the last 1S months, since the
dedication of the new building, the
church has received nearly 100 mem
bers, and during the present pastorate
of little over five years, 1900 persons
have united with the church. The
resident membership is now 100.
