BOUGHT BL0ODED STOCK
Olsen Bros, Of Ovid, Buy 4 Car
load Of Registered Hereford
Cattle.

Olsen Bros, the enterprising Ovid
tanchers, this week received from
fMoulton, Iowa, q carload of reg
isterod Hereford cattle, consisting
of 7 young bulls and the balance
COWS aud heifers. The bulls will be
for sale and the Olsens intend max
ing speciality of breeding bulls tor
sale each year. BY another year
they expect to increase their herd
of cows TO 100 and every animal
will he from the purest strain of
Hereford blood.-4~-
Here is an opportunity for other
cattle ralse<s in the county to i'm
prove their herds by purchasing
these registered bulls from Olsen
Bros. And why not replace the
old scrubs and inferior grade cattle
with blooded stock? 1t costs just
as much to place q scrub steer or
the market as it does thorough,
bred, the scrub COW will eat just al
much as her thoroughbred sister
but when the man who raises scrubs
compares the returns from then
with the returns received by The
man who raises thorougebreds h
finds that there is a vast differenc,
in favor of the latter.
Olsen Bros. invite the farmers o
the county TO call and inspest thei

At THE BONANZA.
About Fifty People Visited the
Mine Last Sunday.
WORK PROGRESSING NICELY
WaJef al Pumped 0ut and Develop
naent now In Progress--ViSitors
Pleased with Conditions.


Last Sunday fifty or more of our
citizens drove up to the Bonanza
cQmpany's property on the copper
hel1 to inspect the plant that has
beon installed there. While the
buildings contemplated have not all
been completed, owing to the delay
il he arrival of material, yet the
siGht-seers saw enough to convince
them that the company ia preparing
q exploit its property under thor
ough and business like system.
The 4O-norse power hoistiDg EN-
gine, air compressor and electric
light plant were all running smooth1
~ Sunday. The latter Is a small
plant, but 1t will furnish all the
lights needed about the camp for
some time.
Sunday there was still about ls
feet of water 10 the shaft but it was
expected that this would be pumped
Nout by Tuesday, when the work of
sinking the shaft to the 6So foot
level would begin. Two eight-hour
shifts will be worked for the pres
ent, but little later. Manager de
Julien says that three shifts will be
worked. An illustration was given
the spectators of what rapid pro-
gress Is made In rock work by the
use of BurIey drills which will be
used in the mine.
The bunk house now affords ac-
comm odations for IS men, but an
addition is to be added at once.
These quarters are very comfortable.
The men are provided with good,
substantial food, which is well
cooked, and there are now Supplies
enough on hand to run the camp
four months. They have about 100
hens, which keep the. boys well sup
piled with fresh eggs.
There are also several German
carrier pigeons at the camp. One
of the bros, which Mr.. deJulien
has owned for several years, las,
summer made the fight from San
Franciscot to Eureka, Cal ? distancs
of 500 miles in about 9 h0hrs.
