ArlZOna was a part when the mine
 was located, has produced several
 fortunes from rich pockets" en- countered by those who worked it years ago. It is now owned by a
 Salt Lake City man named Souls bury. The Josephine, adjoining it, is owned by Mrs. Richard Farrell of Harshaw and w. T. Powers of Patagonia. Since eleven years ago only assessment work has been done on these properties. Just previous to that they worked under lease by Richard Farrell, who struck some rich pockets" and took out about half a million dollars, most of which he spent in development work, and on other properties, when he went broke and was forced to quit.
 The big Hardshell silver mine, owned by R. R. Richardson, has been worked to a depth of about five hundred feet on an incline, the vein dipping at about forty five degrees. It Is equipped with a mill, but one rot large enough to work it to its capacity. It never has been worked to it's capacity, perhaps because it never was oper- ated by a mining company with capital sufficient to work it sys- matically and fully. The work done has been on the Mexican or chlorider's plan. Drifts, small stopes and shapeless holes for which miner would have trouble finding a name, twist and turn in all directions. It is practically impossible to estimate the amount of ore now in sight, but it has been estimated by mining men to be from 10000 to 100000 tons.
 The Hermosa mine at Harshaw was worked in 1879 and 1880 by California people, who took out several hundred thousand dollars from pockets of rich silver ore in short time, and quit when the pockets were worked out. In 1889 and 1890, James Finley, now dead, cleaned up over $100,000 from another rich pocket, and in turn banked his fortune and quit the mine. It is now owned by James E. Cochran of Bradford, Pa., who has capital sufficient to properly operate mine and who probably will do so.
 A number of other cases might be cited, but the few mentioned will give the reader an idea of the kind of mining that has been done in some of the old mines of Santa Cruz county. The fictitious Irish man might say: There ain't a thing that don't go down three steps and up two, turnin' to the left six steps on Tuesday, not COIHlH UdCh IIll " VluuoSudv, when ye clum a ladder"
 Instances might be cited of work done by eastern investors, who spent considerable money, sending west as managers and superin- tendents men who never saw a mine before. The writer has seen one instance of drifting east and west from little shaft, on clear ly defined vein of quartz about as wide as the drift, between walls of porphyry. The drifts, both east and west, after following the vein some distance, gradually swung into the foot wall and continued in

During the past year durum wheat
has sold on the Duluth and Minneapo-
lis markets at from 20 to q cents low
er than No. / Northern, and Prof.
who has been making exhaustive ex-
periments in milling wheat, states
that the amount of flour produced
from durum is 1 1-2 per cent greater
than from fife Or blue stem. although
the amount of patent -four is a little
less from durum. There was milled
in the United States last year 90
100000 bushels of durum wheat. and
as there is no durum flour ADVERTISED,
we draw the conclusion that this
wheat is blended with other wheats
in order to cheaper the cost of produce
tion and make a larger margin = Of
profit to the miller.
This discrimination in price is u.l.
just to the North Dakota wheat grow
er, and every honorable means should
tie taken by the citizens of thestate
to see that the price is brought UP to
it's value. A meeting of this associa-
ton will be held at Devils Lake April

ELEVATOR MEN UNDER ARREST
Complaint Made Against Two Upham
Grain Buyers.

0TdIu 0uySTSs
Deputy Chas. Johnson went to Up
ham and arrested and brought to
Towner two of Upham's prominent
grain buyers, J. F. Steiner and Chas.
I. Freeman. Mr.. Steiner is agent for
Hall & Steiner and Mr.. Freeman for
the John d. Gruber company.
The complaints were sworn out by
E. E. Cornelius, charging Steiner with
appropriating 100 bushels of No. 3
wheat and Freeman with appropriate.
ing so bushels of the same grade. The
law upon which the complaints are
based is section 2251 of the 1876 stat.
utes and provides that individuals or
companies storing grain must on de.
mand return to the person storing the
same grain of an equal amount and
grade or pay the market value thereof.
Messrs. Steiner and Freeman stated
that they had some trouble with Cor
nelius over his 1906 crop, but that
had been settled. He still had in store
with them from last years crop the
amount of wheat named in the COM
plant, but had never demanded the
same or pay therefor. They were will
ing at any time to give him either
one as he desired. They waived ex-
animation before Judge Kline, and
were bound over under $500 bonds,
which were furnished. Attorney
Weber appeared for the state and d.
j. O'Connell for the accused.

NEWS OF THE SLOPE
ANOTHER FERRY At BISMARCK,
Business Men of Bismarck Are After
Trade

Trade.
Through the efforts of the Bismarck
Commercial club all that territory
south and west of the river will be
brought into close touch and made
tributary to Bismarck.
This has been brought about by the
establishment Of ferry across the
Missouri river at a point about eight
miles south of the city.
For number of months the Com
mercial club has been working on this
project, and it is now an established
fact, and the people of Bismarck will
fully appreciate this good work OH the
part of this business mems associa-
ton.
The announcement of the successful
issue of this matter was made at the
Commercial club meeting held last
week. An arrangement has been
made with Capt. Grant Marsh to run
the ferry, which will be traction
ferry, augmented by his gasoline
launch on windy days. The CONNER
cial club has built a house boat for
living quarters for the captain, and
the ferry will be placed in operation
Us soon as the ice goes out.
The ferry will be at the old cross.
Ing until such time as the farmers on
the other side of the river can grade
an approach to the new crossing. To-
day President Conklin and Secretary
Young will make a trip into the south
ern part of Morton county and advise
the farmers of the new ferry and
otherwise push the matter.
A committee of three members OF
the club was appointed to wait upon
the capitol commission and urge the
parking of the capitol grounds along
lines taken up with the last admins
tration, but which have been lying
dormant since then.
The matter of resuming the marks
ct days was taken up and fully dis
cussed, with the result that commit
tee will be appointed to take hold Of
series of market days during the war
months. A number of conveniences
for farmers and their wives who will
bring in produce for sale will be pro.
vided and cash prizes offered for tho
best in all lines of agricultural ana
dairy products so that not only will
the good wife of the farmer be able
to sell her farm wares at good price.
but will have chance to compete for
! substantial piece of money with
others and the farmers will compete
in the same way for the genuine long
green. The club is very much in
earnest in this matter, and the mer~
chants present expressed a determine
ton to enter into the scheme and
help with special bargains on: those
days to the end that eventually the
market days will be bright spots in
each month to the farmer and the
tradesman.

NEW CHURCH DEDICATED,
New First Lutheran Church of Minot
Cost $4,000.

Sunday was a red letter day in the
history of the First Lutheran church,
the oldest church society in Minot,
for that day witnessed the dedication
of another of Minot's beautiful new
churches.
This new church, with it's tall spire
looming up among the trees on the
north side, as for some time been a
familiar sight to the people of the
city. Built in pure Gothic style Of
architecture, it is very imposing
structure. The interior is, if posi-.
bel, even more pleasing than the en-
terror. All woodwork is oak of
rich dark finish. The light colored
ceiling, the greenish gray walls, the
soft green velvet carpets, the numer-
GUS incandescent lamps enclosed in
ground glass globes, give very
harmonious and restful appearance.
AS it stands, with the basement still
to finish, the church has cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. or this
amount almost $1,000 has already
been raised among the members and
| friends of the church.
The dedication service proper was
held in the morning and was con-
Quoted in the Norwegian language.
Rev. E. Bjorgo, president of this
synodical district, preached the SER
mon and dedicated the church. He
was assisted by a number of other
pastors. Special music was rendered
by the choir.
In the afternoon a program of a
more formal nature was rendered.
