MINING COMPANY
To Be DISSOLVED
IRON KING MINING COMPANY'S
STOCK KHOLDERS HAVE EABAN-
DoNED PROJECT
FINAL DISSOLUTION APRIL IS
"No Funds" Given as a Reason For
The Action
FINAL DISSOLUTION APRIL IS
(From Fridays Daily.)

On account of the non appearance OF
number of stock holders of the Iron
King Mining company, the meeting
which was to be held this morning at
+. A. Philbrick's office for the purpose
of dissolution, was adjourned and will
probably be held on April Is. The
stock holders, who number close to 100,
declare that it is impossible to make
futher development under existing con-
ditions and they consider the wisest
move to Dissolve the company. In
discussing the matter, Mr.. Philbrick
stated this morning that in his opinion
the inability to interest capitalists and
secure more stock holders caused the
failure.
"We found good ore in our mine
which is west of North Freedom but
cannot raise the means to swing the
projeCa" said Mr.. Philbrick. "Of
course the real expense of mining comes
after ore has been found and we were
helpless with out cash. The final dis
solution will take place on April Is.
Our option on the property expired in
July so it is useless to try to do any
thing under present conditions"

FAVORABLE FOR A LAKE PARK
Members of Legislature No Doubt
Will Visit Famous Region.

w. III. McFetridge was in Madison
this week and reports that everything
is very favorable for the passage of
the DEVILS Lake Park bill. The meas
ure is now before the claims commit
tee and from what Mr.. McFetridge
could learn the majority of the men,
bers are favorably impressed with the
need of preserving the lake regions.
Several of the members of senate and
assembly expressed themselves as
pleased with prospect of visiting the
lake as guests of the citizens of Bara-
boo. The time required to make the
trip might be against the idea of COM
ing but in this way the solons could
learn more in few hours than by de-
batting the question for an entire day.
A visit to the lake in May as the guests
of those deeply interested would surely
win the desire of every law maker to
create state park and save the Won
Gers of the lake. Sauk county people
Will give them rousin G welcome in
case they come.

new RAILS WILL Be LAID
Chicago & Northwestern to Make I'M
provements on the Madison
Division
(Froln Wednesdays Daily.I

New steel rails are being unloaded
between Baraboo and DEVILS lake to
replace some that have seen better
days. The old rails are so pounds to
the yard while the new ones are 80
pounds. New steel will also be laid
between Elroy and Sparta, Y pound
rails to be replaced by 80 pound ones.
The old rails are 80 feet long while the
new ones are 33 feet, reducing the num-
Der of rails to the aile by Is. At pres
ent there are 176 rails to the mile while
the new rails will make the number
100. This makes fewer joints and does
not require so much work to keep the
track in condition.
What becomes of the old rails re-
moved? The ones that are badly worn
are sold for old steel while those that
are still good are re-rolled, an so pound
rail making 72 pound cne. The light
er rails will be taken to South Dakota
for the 255 miles of new track being
built or on some of the other divisions
where the heaviest kind of rails are
not required.
Louis Krohn has charge of the i'm
provements being done in the Baraboo
yards while f. Peterson will look after
the extra work.

FORMER BARABOO
RESIDENT DIES
MRS. MARY JACKSON SUCCUMBS
TO PNEUMONIA IN MISSOURI.
LIVED FOR 81 YEARS IN COUNTY
Built First House on North Side in
l846.
LIVED FOR 81 YEARS IN COUNTY
tFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

Mrs. Mary Jackson, widow of j. w.
Jackson, pioneer settler of Baraboo
and a resident of the town of Green
field for thirty years died at her home
in New Hampton, Mo. on March 19,
after short illness resulting from
pneumonia. Although at the advanc-
ed age of 86 years the news of her death
came as surprise to her many friends
and acquaintences in the county, where
she spent the greater part of her mar
ried life and endeared herself into the
hearts of all that knew her.
Mrs. Jackson was born in Colerain,
Mass, Jan. 4, 1921 and was the daugh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Denison,
we'll known throughout the Eastern
states at that time. AT the age of eight
years Mrs. Jackson moved with her
parents to Stockbridge, n. Y. where
she remained for 16 years during which
time she met and married her late hus-
band. In 1916 Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson
moved to Whitewater where her hus-
band started small cabinet makers
shop, the first of that kind in the acity
and one of the first in the state. They
remained in Whitewater but a short
time and during the following year
came to Baraboo and built the. first
house on the north side of the Baraboo
river, near where the Thompson hotel
now stands. In 1854 they purchased
a farm in Greenfield where they lived
for 80 years.
When the Dakota lands began to
boom they left Greenfield and went to-
the former state ine 1884, where Mr..
Jackson died. Shortly after that, Mrs
Jackson's sister, Mrs. William Steven
son, died in Hampton, Mo-, and Mrs.
Jackson moved to that city where she
remained until her death. Several
weeks ago she developed slight at
tack of pneumonia which quickly be-
came serious and despite of the exerted
efforts of several physicians, she pass
ed away. The funeral was held in
that city Friday, but the details have
not reached Baraboo as yet.
Mrs. Jackson is survived by heronly
living sister Mrs. John Wing of this
city, now the only living member of
the family of eight children. Two of
Mrs. Jackson'S sons, Elbridge J. of
California, well known in Baraboo and
Charles Jackson of Dakota survive her
and daughter Mrs. Isabelle Shulpy
is LETT to mourn her loss. The death of
Mrs. Jackson marks the passing away
of/one of the first people who came to
Baraboo and by whose efforts the
growth of the present city made possi-
BILE.
1t will be remembered that her son,
Elbridge j. Jackson, has contributed
many splendid articles of local his
toral nature to these columns.

If an atmosphere of heavenly happi-
ness and crowd of true friends loaded

things ever tended to make young

Justices" office at o'clock yesterday

love and obey her husband forever and
in few moments they were made man

AS the blissful couple were leaving
the court room to enter their carriage,
their friends having secretly stored a
large quantity of rice outside, pelted
the bride and groom until they both
secured refuge inside the hack, which
bore them quickly to the railway

To the Editor-Personally think
The News a very good county weekly.
I am glad to see the prominence given
to items of progress for the county, as
the Kilbourn electric road and dam,
the Prairie du Sac dam, etc. [ think
it would be better if the general "gos-
sip" were little more condensed and
not divided by days. Believe that
Baraboo gets really more than her share
of booming" by local papers and hope
that some day Sauk County Com
mercial association will seek to induce
factories to locate and invite bids from
the smaller towns, whose boys and
girls must either get out of town or
ssloaf" for lack of outlet for their labor.
Lastly 1 would that the News leave
out all liquor advertisements.
Yours truly,

mer portion of the deer mound was
destroyed. The head and antlers of
the deer lie in the yard to the east of
the Train residence and are still we'll
preserved. They are so prominent
that they may easily be seen from the
street. The projections of the antlers
grade Off imperceptibly to the general
ground. Before damaged, the mound
was 1876 feet long. The head of lizard
effigy lies close to the antlers of the
deer with the axis of the mound ex-
tending east and west. Before being
partly leveled it was fully $50 feet long.
There is tumulus west of the house
much reduced in size and Mrs. Train
says there were three other tumuli fur
ther west but no traces of these remain.
Fair Grounds Mounds
Just north of the fair grounds on the
lot owned by B. N. Robinson, once
stood two tumuli thirty feet in diamet-
er and from four to six feet in height.
In 1895 the mounds were leveled in the
process of grading the lawn and soon
after brass tomahawk pipe was found
in the dirt removed from the mounds.
Ridge Street Mound
Several persons report that: there
was once linear mound on or near
Ridge street in the western part of the
city but, like all things created, it has
yielded to the inevitable and no longer
exists.
