PETROGRAPH
is THE SCIENCE OF EXAMINATION
OF MINERALS BY THE
MICROSCOPE "4

In conversation with Brooks Hos
kins of the State university the other
day the Tribune was Informed that
he was studying Photography. An in
terrogation as to what that might be
brought string of scientific terms
which boiled down is as follows:
Sections of rocks and minerals in
this section are examined under spe-
cially constructed microscopes made
in and imported from Germany at a
cost of $3.50 each. By this examina-
ton the rocks and minerals are very
easily identified and mistakes are sell
dom made. This subject is taught by
one of the professors recently added
to the faculty and is an entirely new
study. 1t will be of service to the
state more directly in connection with
the state geological survey Brooks,
by the way, has "struck his gait in
the subject of geology and is special
izing in that line.

DEMAND GOOD
REALTY MEN ENCOURAGED FOR

les FOR LAND ~.

Inquiry among real esate men in
Burleigh and adjoining counties shows,
buoyancy almost surprising to any
one inclined to feel that the recent
Tightening up Of all kinds of business
had put quietus on matters pertain
ing to sale of lands, etc.
A prominent real estate man, in the
city for a couple of days the past
week, stated that sales in his vicin-
ity had proved a surprise to him. He
had disposed of ten quarter sections in
Burleigh county since the money strin-
gency, and he stated that it was his
belief that the coming spring would
witness big rush of buyers to this
state such as has not been known
for several years. .s..
He based his statements on the fact
that inquiries from well-to-do men in
the older settled states were coming
infresly and that there seems to be a
great awakening at the present time
of people in those states to- the fact
that North Dakota is really a. won
derful state, viewed. from. an agri-
cultural standpoint. It's lands are just
as rich as those in other states and
the price is ridicuouly low in compari-
SON. Besides an investment in farm
lands has twice the stability of an in.
vestment in Wall street kites.

 Business men of Guaymas are arranging to organize a chamber of commerce. which will prove doubt less a very valuable aid to the development of the commercial in- terests of the town.
 To contend against the Yaquis the state government is enlisting the Papago Indians and organizing them for service in the field. Sev- eral strong attachments are en- gagged and in service already; and they are giving the renegade bands no little trouble.

Ben Smith, the well known mine manager, who was at the Ramona mine several years ago, afterward at the Nina Grande, near San Javier, and later at the Tarasca mine, near Torres, is now at the Tecolote mine, westward from Carbo, where he has some twenty men at work developing a very handsome property for the Tecolote Mining Company.
 West from Carbo about forty miles MT.

Board of Trade Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Board of Trade was held on Tuesday evening with five members of the board present.
 As was expected the finance committee brought in a lengthy report and recommendations on the question of the extension of parcels post and postal savings banks. The committee took the view which was held by one of our public men recently concerning the matter of the extension of par cells post. The gentleman in ques- tion said there were a hundred reasons in favor of the extension of parcels post and only six reasons against 1t and that the six reasons were the six express companies of the country. With reference to the view that such action on the part of the postal authorities might injure local trade by drawing it away from the local merchants

and giving it Co large mail orde. houses, the committee stated Chat far from being q hiudrance to local trade, it would be of great benefit as the express companies now offer cheaper facilities for such parcel. to the mail order houses, than would be secured by the proposed action of the postal authorities. while on the other hand the local merchants would in this way be able to reach many persons in the nearby country who would then be able to order by mail and have the goods delivered by mail.
 With reference to the postal say ings banks the committee recom- mended that the scheme be ap- proved, the money thus gathered from the public be deposited with local national banks but not subject to call, and subject to withdrawal only on several months notice. Otherwise the committee stated that they would heartily disap- prove of the scheme as it would, if deposited subject to call, make it impossible for local banks to accept it owing to the fact that they would not be able to use it, and the money would then inevitably be with drawn from local circulation and be sent to the large money centers, thus injuring local business.
 In addition to the reduced freight schedule on sugar and potatoes re- ported as having been secured from the railroad, an additional reduc- tion on sweet potatoes and onions is now reported, and as the min imum for car loads, either mixed or straight, is only 30,000 lbs. the rates should be very beneficial to the town.
