bought 800 acres at S. 100 per acre and
sold this fall for $4,000 per acre and
cleared a profit of $4,1GOO0. How is
that for the Northwest? l now have
$50 acres of land and all paid for, Is
head of horses, 80 head OF cattle, %
pigs, 2 sheep and about $50 chickens

chinery and everything is paid for.
We also bought lots in Calgary and
In High River. We gave $470 for

effort to effect cure. The eruptions
by this time had appeared on every
part of my body except my face and
hands. The best doctor in my native

my hair began to fall out and l was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything

MAY RE GOLD MINE.

Some excitement has been occa.
stoned by the discovery of what is
thought to be gold-bearing sands in
the Oswego country, Ransom county.
While making an excavation for a
cellar, Edward Thompson, who lives
in that vicinity, discovered veins Of
sand four feet below the surface
which contained particles of what
is believed to be gold. Thompson
brought bottle full Of the supposed
gold dust here, and will send it to an
assayer to ascertain its value. Klon-
dikers who have seen the sample say
that it resembles the gold taken from
the Klondike regions. If it proves to
be gold, 1t is said to be in sufficient
quantities for working mines.

MErALLlzlNe OF FLOWERS.
Valuable New Method Of Making
eronze-PIated Objects.

Alter nearly six years Of laborious
research and experiments H. Monge
and c. Arzano of Brussels, says Tech
meal World Magazine, have perfected
the art of metallizing flowers and 9TH
er objects for decorative purposes.
The first attempt at metallizing OBJ.
jects was known to the industrial
world as long ago as 1861, but all eff
forts to metallize fruits, flowers, ETC.,
have been futile up to the time of the
recent discovery.
BY the new method of making
bronze-plated objects. the secret of
which is jealousy guarded by Messrs.
Monge and Alzano, it is possible to
Metallize even so delicate thing as
lace or rose in full bloom.
The inventors have established a
factory for the purpose of producing
: their goods, their object being to
place handsomely finished metallized
objects on the market, in every par

While the secret of 1Aetallizing is
not disclosed, no hesitancy is observ.
ed In regard to the length of time the
objects 20 be metallized are retained
in what is known as the bath. The
length of time varies according to the

In order to decide the matter, the
paint manufacturers having faith in
Prof. Ladd have asked him to make
a series Of experiments, and they have
agreed to abide by the result what
ever 1t may be. If the experiments
show that the adulterated variety of
paint is much poorer than the pure
they promise to discontinue its manu-.

To make the tests Prof. Ladd has
had several large fences constructed
at the A. c., and in addition the ex-

about three months to spread the
paint over all the surfaces mentioned,
and the test will be matter of years.
Only paint of the most generally used

white, will be utilized, so that there
will be no rainbow effects, but the
paints of every variety Of chemical
