Fargo Forum: Seven men frozen to
death on claims within a radious of
eight miles in the vicinity northwest of

there was plenty of fuel in the shack.
1t is supposed that the man had been
sick.
In some of the sbacks in which the
occupants were found frozen to death,
there was plenty of coal, but the
stoves we're found to be in poor condi.

"A neighbor of mine bought a quar-.

AT MILE Laos
Options are Being Quietly
Taken on Certain
Lands

Cove Pioneer: It will doubtless be
news to most of the settlers about
Mile Laos lake, and others, to be told
that certain lands bordering on the
lake in this vicinity are in all prob
ability underlsid with heavy Lodges of
iron ore.
Many Of our home people will un-
doubtedly SCOT at the idea and with a
knowing smile, bcrde1in2 On ridicule.
say that they must first be ''shown. -
Be that as 1t may, it is certain that
there are lodges of iron ore within ten
miles of this place which at places
crop out within eight or ten inches OF
the surface of the ground. These
lodges are Of q very hard texture and
apparently of fair grade quality.
A sample of this ore chlpped OH
from q ledge near the surface OF the
ground was sent to an aesayer in the
cities some time ago and was found to
contain about 40 per cent Of iron. An
experienced iron ore minor was next
consulted who states that 40 per cent
iron is too low q percentage to war
rant profitable mining. 1t 10 qoite
likely, however, that ore of higher
grade will be found by drilling deep
or into the ledge and making more
expensive tests, and options have
been quietly taken on certain tracts
for that purpose.

DIVISION AT MILLFLACS
Reported That 500 Line
Will Have Division at
the Lake

Cove Pioneer: Among the many
other cheering indications in the way
of railroad communication for the
Mile Laos section Ct country which is
drawing very near to q realization
point. IS the probability of the 500
company making Mile Laos q division
point.
The Pioneer is in possession OF in
formation which indicates very strong
ly that the 500 management will. IL
they have not already done 80, decide
to make this place a division point.
Ard why nut2 The distance Of the
proposed new line from Glenwood or
Belgrade to Duluth is 1855 miles and
Mile Laos Is exactly midway between.
Duluth and the other points named.
1t IS stated by experieu iced railroad
men that 90 miles is the usual dis
tance between division points. Such
beng the case it will be seen that
Mile Laos is very fav orably located.
