SAVOY TAKING OUT
 RICH ORE IN BRADSHAWs
From Wednesdays DaIly)


 " Among the hest mineral showings in tne Bradshaw mountain, K the property of the Savoy Mining Com pany, located mile and n half south of Crown King" Lester Jackson, the mining engineer. said yesterday to a Journal Miner representative. Mr.. Jackson arrived home from an cxten. sivc min" examination in that region, Monday night, in which he visited n number of the principal mines of the Bradshaw range
 Rich ore and plenty of il is being taken out of the Savoy Mining Com. pany's holdings" he said. "The mine, which appears to be on the Grey Eagle vein. considered one of the moth cr lodcs of the Bradshaw mountains, is developed to n depth of 800 feet be low the apex of the ledge. One impor- tant feature of the property is that the ore increases in value as depth is gained, as some of the richest ore, ear rying over 1000 ounces to the ton, ever taken ont of the property, Is now being mined in the bottom of the pres ent workings.
 Bradshaw mountain mine operators ns a rule, nave little if anything to say of their holdings. A district, how ever, that is producing ore carrying yalnes from $300 to $i00 to the ton in my opinion, should be advertised. The fact should he made known to the world that there are such properties nerc. Advertising a country as rich in mineral resource as the Bradshaw mountains cannot do any harm. It goes without saying that the outside world should know that there are sections of Yavapai county that surpasscs in rich ness any in the west or southwest.
 "Therc are other mines as promis ing as the Savoy of which ] have not time to touch on at present. On thing is certain, and that is tnat any one in search of mining propositions of pro mise s hard to please if he cannot get | suited in the Bradshaws. -

500 Train in the Ditch.
Last Saturday morning

Last Saturday morning the
north bound passenger reached
Washburn about two hours late,
that is the passengers reached
town at that time by riding in on
top Of a box car. The spreading
of the rails near Turtle Lake
bridge two miles east of town
caused the oil car to roll down the
steep embankment, a box car to
tip over on it's side and the track
to he torn up several rods. It was
lucky for the passengers that the
coaches were stopped as ssoon as
they were or they would have foil
owed in the path Of the other two
cars and no telling how many
lives would have been lost. There
were an unusual number of
passengers on the train that morn
ing and one person who had not
been on a train for 20 years. The
south bound train reached here on
time but did not leave until ter
that evening. The north bound
train left at midnight.

GIRL HAS
DISAPPEARED

She is Believed to Have
Gone Insane.

j. Fl. Heck, who lives four miles
northwest of Dogden, is searching
for his sister-in-law, Laura j
Larson, who disappeared last Fri
day night and whose whereabouts
are unknown. It seems that Miss
Larson, who has just proved up
on claim near Cottonwood Lake,
was staying at Arne Arneson's,
mile or two from Mr.. Heck's
place, taking care Of Arneson's
aged mother who is an invilid. On
Friday night Arneson, in company
with two other men of that
neighborhood (married men sup
posedly respectfully came home
drunk and proceeded to raise
Cain about the premises. Mrs.
Arneson sent Laura out to ask
them to be quiet, but no attention
was paid to this. The girl was
sent out a second time on the same
request. On this occasion the
men said or did something that
frightened the girl out of her wits
and she came into the house wild
eyed and announced that "she was
going to leave right now.' She
did leave although it was than
midnight, and without hat or wrap
or any clothing except what she
had on, neither was she known to
have any money. On Saturday
she was seen at Ruso to which
place she had evidently walked.
Later she was seen at Balfour but
there all trace of her was lost.
The girl has worked for different
fanatics at Balfour, but had not
called at any of these places. At

OFFICE BUILDING
NOT COURTHOUSE
Mclean County VIII Have a New
Structure Cutting off Pay
ing Office Rent.

Some time ago the county COM
missioners Of Mclean county
decided that it was necessary to
provide new room for the county
officers and thus provide suitable
facilities for the county's affairs
and.cut off paying Office rent for
some Of the county officers. An
architect was employed, plans
made and the other day the con-
tract was let for construction Of
the building to Thomas F. Powers,
of Fargo, the lowest bidder. It
seems that this structure has been
referred to as a ''new courthouse" !"
when in reality the contract calls
for an "office building. Inquiry
reveals the fact that no bonds are
to be issued for this building,
there being plenty Of cash in the
treasury in the building fund to
pay for the structure. The last
financial statement shows cash on
hand in the general fund. $685.
476.77, and in all funds, $95,6Ol.-
43. The total liabilities Of the
county are $3O,945.O5: The total
of the county are 1926, 6,347.77.
The total assessed valuation of the
county is $5,924,694, which gives
some idea of the wonderful growth
Of the county. Itswas imperative
that additional accomodations be
secured for the county officials and
the county commissioners thought
that it would be best to build an
Office building at an expense Of
less than SIS, 900 contract price
1884 and pay cash for it than to
resort to the issuance of bonds

ported as being in good condition,
although not yielding nearly as
good as around here. We notice

were plowing under. the damage
done by the heat and hail leaving
entirely valueless large fields of
the golden grain.

Carlson,s Separator Burned.

On last Tuesday while the
threshing crew were to dinner at
the Mrs. John Backman farm three
miles east of Wilton the separator,
belonging to L. A. Carlson. and
three wagons belonging to Am
mond- and Gabriel Thor, we're
consumed by fire. The fire was
started by spark blowing from
the engine into the grain on one
of the racks. The fireman. Carl
Carlson, being the only man at
the machine at the time, was un:-
able to do anything toward saving
the outfit. The grain was as dry
as powder and in an instant the
entire load of grain vas adame.
Another load Of bundles stood
nearby and it soon ignited, as well
as the separator and the wagon
consisting threshed grain. It was
all over with before help could ar
rive from the house.
This is a heavy loss to Mr..
Carlson as the separator was a
good one and in fine working con-
.dition. being valued at nearly
$1,000. He carried no insurance.

Hans Hanson Killed at Willow CITY.
It is believed that Hans Han
SON; late section boss at Baldwin
on the 500 line, was killed at Viii
low City, Mimi, some days ago,
and thereby hangs a mystery.
It appears that Hans Hanson, q
son Of the missing man, that his
father left Baldwin August ~ for
q short trip 70 Bismarck and has
never been seen since. A man
was found who said he saw
the elder Hanson, 81 Hans Bye, as
he Vas sometimes known, buy 9
ticket that night at the Northern
Pacific depot for California. but
did not know what town, and it
was supposed he had gone west. N

named Hans Hanson being killed
by the cars at that place that he
had a pass as a section man from
Bismarck, and that he had con-
siderable money.
The son came to Bismarck Mon
DAY and had a conference with the
sheriff and that official informed
the Willow City coroner Of the dis
appearance Of this Hans Hanson
and asking for further particulars.
Hans Hanson was 45 years old
and had wife and two sons, one
of whom succeeded his father as
section boss and the other:is under
age. The wife was recently con-
verted and since then has made
life so much Of a burden for the
son that he left home and went to
boarding and the father COM
planned of her incessant religious
talk and ceremony, and the son
thinks this is the cause Of his 60
ing away. When he left he had
about $500 with him but said he
was only going to Bismarck to
spend Sunday.

viii Improve Conditions.

The people of Williston predict
that this and all adjoining
counties are going to have irriga-
tion and say that the longer it is
delayed the longer we are going to
do without the greatest measure
Of prosperity. And when irriga-
tion is started improved trade con-
ditons will be found on every hand.
farmer near Williston whose land
is "Under the ditch" has turned
from skeptic to enthusiast. They
are realizing wonderfully on their
Investment. Some land that form
erly sold for 50 an acre before
irrigation came, is now being sold
in ten acre plots for Sl2O-an acre.
and that $12O land will produce
more than any $120 worth Of land.
it matters not how much there is,
that you ever saw in any country.
Grains, fruits and vegetables
thrive, and the farmer who irri-
gates has learned his entire lesson,
almost, in the first year. Next
year he will produce better than
that ever because he will know
when and how to turn on the
water. Irrigation is going to
mean that our country is going to
be filled with smaller farms with
every acre producing its utmost.
This will mean a more than
doubled population composed of
thrifty, studious producers. 1t
will mean one of the greatest
farming settlements that the world
has ever seen, and that every acre
will be cared for. There will be
no waste land. And a family will
be living on every eighty acres.
