mountains will be thrown open for set
Element on the 18TH of September. The
land was recently surveyed and is stu
ated in northern Dunn county and east

published elsewhere.
Recently H. F. Hatch sold his quarter
section of land southeast of Dickinson to
Charles Colgrove for a consideration of
81, 200. The claim has good water and
plenty of coal and is considered more
than an average quarter in point of
value. This gives MI. Colgrove 1850
: acres, nearly in a body, on Antelope creek.
He has a mile and a half of the creek
running through his land and has some
coal veins which will be valuable some,
day. At present most of the land is
rented to the Antelope Land & Cattle
Co.
One of the Blanchette Bros. of Elk
River, Mimi, writes Mayor Geo. M.
Frye that he is well pleased with the
sale of their horses this season. The
Blanchette Bros. are half wner in the
Shoe Bar Percheron Horse Co. on
Cherry creek, a short distance from
Schafer. This company was incorpo-
rated two years ago with Ed. Chase as
president and Geo. M. Frye secretary
and treasurer. These officers hold a
fourth interest each. They started in
1884 with three mares and now have one
of the best stocked ranches in North
Dakota and some choice pasturage land.
During the three years that the
Blanchettes have been partners in the
enterprise SIo,515 worth of horses have
been sold and the average selling price
per head is $I35. None have been sold
for less than 500, and several of the 46
head sold by Mr.. Chase this year brought
SIS. Mr.. Chase, we'll known, to old
timers around Dickinson, spends the
summer season at the ranch.
