PERSONAL,

{ :. =
There are number of people in
Bismarck who are skeptical concern
ing the representations made in our
advertisements.
These people cannot understand
how two North Dakota farmers sue
ceeded in becoming the owners of one
Of the biggest mining enterprises in
the country.
They seem to think that if the pro-
perty is as desirable as we have rep
resented it to be, that the mining men
Of Montana themselves would have
been the purchasers.
AS a matter Of fact, the mining men
themselves were the original purchas-
ers, but combination of circunl-
stances forced them to relinquish
their title. q 4s5 5s i 4 2s5
It is a somewhat interesting story,
and is told here in detail for the first
time. It has been told in. fragmentary
form during the few weeks we have
been running our advertisements, and
doubtless there are many who have
failed to put two and two together
and consequently did not get the drift
Of the arguments as they were printed
from day to day.
This group Of claims, now. owned
absolutely by the Gold Cord Mining
Co., was formerly the 1property Of "a
very large English syndicate. This
syndicate owned and operated numer-
GUS properties throughout the world
Operations were being carried on in
Russia, South Africa, Australia and
South America, and on numerous
groups OF properties in this country.
The Montana property now owned by
our company was the only one in the
entire list which was revenue pro-
duser. 5.'5F
Regardless of the fact that the Eng
lishmen took out $2,,200,0o0 from this
I property, that amount of money was
entirely inadequate to meet their enor-
nous and growing expenses. 81
Just about this time, when the finan-
cial necessities of the Englishmen
were the greatest, and during a per-
iod Of momentary stringency through
out the world, numerous damage suits
were started in Montana against the
old company. These suits had as a
basis the charge that the tailings from
the company's stamp mill were per-
mitted to run down the gulch and
over spread the ranches below, thee
retically spelling the same for agri-
culture.
It is a curious feature of the case,
but wonderfully significant, that these
same ranches were subsequently
bought outright and the ground
worked over by the cyanide process
for the sole purpose of recovering the
gold values deposited thereon from
the stamp mill on our property, and
every ton Of which came from the ore
from our mines. sfs$..
With the refusal of the English
stockholders to submit to an assess
ment, and the inability of the company
to meet its pressing demands, liauida-
ton was resorted to, and the men who
were primarily responsible for the be
/ ginning of the damage suits, suddenly
blossomed out as the owners of the
property. In taking. title they not
only assumed the liability Of the dam
age suits. but likewise obligated them
selves financially in taking over the
several groups Of properties in Mon
tana owned by the Englishmen.
These men were backed by Chi
cago financier, locally reputed to be

worth anywhere from $4,000, 900 to /
$10, 100000. Reliance on his ability to
finance the proposition, and in the
belief that every detail had been
worked out for an extensive resump-
tion of mining and milling operations.
plans we're made accordingly
The Chicago man died suddenly,
and died insolvent at that. There was
no estate from which financial as
sistance could be depended upon, with
the result that the Montana men
found themselves in an exceedingly
awkward predicament. It was either
a question Of losing all they had
schemed for. or selling one OF the four
groups Of properties Of which they
had become possessed, in order to
save the other three. III
Il The property now owned by our
company was the only sa1able one in
the list; that is, the only one in
which extensive ore bodies had been
opened up on two or more sides, and
which contained extensive and valu-
able surface improvements. Messrs.
Leech & Morris, both Of Fargo, hap
pened to be on the ground at the time,
and were In position to take advan-
tage ofsthe serious position in which
the Montana men found themselves.
That they drove hard bargain is
to their credit, but Just what the
property cost them is nobody's bust
ness. It is known, however, that the
amount was a large one, and would
more than equal the combined capital
OF all the Bismarck banks.
But the question Of what the prop
erty. cost Leech and Morris has no
bearing on the proposition; not
particle more than the fact that some
years ago one hundred shares of Cal
umet & Hecla stock only cost the
purchasers $4,000, while today the
same 100 share block cannot be pur-
chased for less than 100000.
Z, We have said before, and we re-
peat it today, that we have one of,the
biggest and richest mining PROPOSE
lions in the country. People who buy
our stock can buy it in the absolute
knowledge that it has value behind
1t. It is worth $3.50 per share today,
and it will be worth great deal more
than in the very near future.
We have offered you an exceptional
opportunity, and If you neglect it
there will be no one to blame but
yourself. it, ST.
Better get few hundred shares
while the price is at 1910 per share.
Better do it today. Better do it now.
We desire to say further that we
investigated this proposition thorough
ly before we decided to take it up.
One of the members Of our firm spent
three full weeks on this property, de-
voting every day to personal inspec-
ton, being guided in his investigations
by one of the leading mining engineers
in Montana. He checked and re
checked the assays, measured up the
development work, inspected the sur
face improvements, and then went to

Possibilities of Dry Farming.

Pocatello (Ida.) Tribune The dry farming con-
gress that will be held in Salt Lake this winter should
be productive of great deal of good for Idaho.
Millions of of the Gem State open to pro-
ductive dry farming methods Magnificent success
has attended this industry wherever tried and each
year sees the addition to the cultivated area of hun
dreds of thousands of acres Down in the Minidoka
tract where the settlers patiently waiting for the
red tape department of the national reclamation
vice to deliver the water scores of ronhearted men
are seeding their farms with wheat and OATS reaping
in many cases a wonderful crop Along the Short
Line in Southern Idaho there thousands of acres
of fertile land adapted ideally to dry farming. The
same is true of the entire Southeast and especially
of the upper valley of the Snake. To learn
thing about the science of dry farming many dele
gates from Idaho should attend the Salt Lake con-
gress.
The Tribune is right. Idaho people well af-
ford to pay attention to dry farming The possbili-
ties in it are in fact so immense that no
begin to estimate their extent and the newspapers
should keep the attention of the public constantly
directed to the subject. The time was when farm
ing under irrigation presented less inviting aspect
than does dry farming today. Let the grand object
lesson we have had from farming under irrigation
give us faith in the opportunities for development
presented by dry farming The two methods may
seem Numerically opposed to each other, yet the
requisites of success are the Same-energy, perse-
verance and intelligence.

I'm the Snuff Belt.

Another champion of oppressed woman has arisen
in his might in the person of the editor of the
Hickory Index-Reporter He says:
"A lot of crack-brained editors and other nasty
tobacco chewing and drinking things that call
themselves too nice to endure snuff dipping are try
ing to persuade the next Legislature to prohibit the
sale OF snuff in this State Let the men quit chewing
and smoking and cussng before they prohibit the
sale of snuff. Some members of the Legislature and
other men have such narrow minds that they cannot
grasp the problems that confront our future pros
the good old women who dip snuff. If the State
Legislature should pass a law prohibiting women
from dipping snuff and still allowing men to chew
and smoke, we will stump the State in favor of
woman suffrage.

Western Banks Improbable.

there, which with almost exception indicate they
can loan money to the East to tide over the strin-

the East was financing the West and hence there was
suffering here Now the situation is reversed, with
surplus here available for the East So marked
is this condition that experts of the treasury de-
parment estimate that the West is fully able to sup
ply all the money needed relieve the straits of the
East. Western farmers have thus become the bank
ers of the Nation, instead of borrowers

Farmer a Happy Man.

Eastern Utah Advocate: The happiest man in
the land today is the successful farmer. He sits,
fguratively speaking, under his vine and fig
tree, undsturbed by the manipulation of stock mar
kets or the noise or temptations of city. He is
monarch of all he surveys on his broad acres. The
honesty of his boys and girls is guarded against
temptations and in them he is giving the country
its best manhood and womanhood. The farmer is
to be envied, and if he is not contented with his
present prosperous condition and his lot in life he
certainly must be lacking in wisdom.
