secrated Sunday Afternoon.
BISHOP JOHN STANLEY PRESENT
Head of Fargo Diocese in Charge
of Dedication Ceremonies.
Delivers Fine Address.

Bishop Stanley of the Catho-
lie diocese of Fargo visited
Bottineau Sunday, his mission
being the dedication of the
fine new church at Tarsus,
We are indebted to John Sidney
O'Brien for the following
account of the bishops visit:
The Right Reverend John
Stanley, bishop of Fargo,
arrived in BOttineau Saturday
evening and was met at the
train by Rev. Father Turcotte.
The bishop celebrated mass in
Saint Marks church Sunday
morning, going thence to Tar
sus to dedicate the new Saint
Pauls church and administer

highly appreciated by the large
congregation present. He was
highly pleased with the new
Saint Pauls church, which is
a credit to the congregation.
The bishop referred to the fine
farming country surrounding
Tarsus and the beautiful
houses, barns and other farm
buildings in that district and
said that it was as fine farm
ing country as any in the
state of North Dakota. He
hoped that new settlers would
come to this section of country
and take up land near the
beautiful Saint PauIs church
where they could have COM
Portable homes.

rendered to the bishop upon his
departure for Bottineau and
safe return to his home at

as the one day of the year
especially when services are
to be held in behalf of all labor
ing classes. For several years
this has been the custom in
the fall, on the Lords day just
before Labor day. Now the
change has been made. AS for
several years past, various
Presbyterian churches will OBJ
serve the day with special
services. So in Bottineau
Presbyterian church, on Sun
dav evening May 10, Pastor
Davis will deliver an address
especially prepared for the
toilers. A printed order of
service is at hand, with re-
sponsive exercises and printed
hymns, to be used by the
audience. To this very special
service all working men and
women are cordially invited.
Let everybody in sympathy
with our workers attend and
welcome the laborers in a
cordial and emphatic manner.
Remember, once a year, and
it comes this time at 8 y. m.
May 10. Be sure to come
early.

The visitors were rendered a
reception by the Bottineau

hoped to print a list of those
in attendance but the secretary
informs US that no register of
visitors was kept. The next
meeting will be held at West

CIVIC Improvement LEAGUE.
Formed by Ladies' Of Boltlnsau at Meet.
Ing Held Friday Attsrneon.

At the request of Mrs. G. A.
Leonard the ladies of Bottineau
met in the Methodist church
Friday for the purpose of form
ing a civic league. The object
of the league is to help to make
our city clean, healthful and
attractive place in which to
live: to extend the making of a
public park, to abate public
nuisances such as Objectionable
advertising signs, dirty alleys
and unkept vacant lots; to
make the railroad station and
the grounds surrounding it tidy
and ornamental; to preserve
existing trees and encourage
intelligent tree planting.
Officers for the league were
elected as follows: ....-
President, Mrs. A. r. Mac
Kay.
Secretary, Mrs. William Col
Inns.
Treasurer, Mrs. F. G.. Falken-
stein.
A meeting was called by the
president at which it was de-
cided to have a clean up day,
May 16, enlisting the boys of
the public school, who under
the direction of captains, will
give their attention to vacant
lots and roadsides. After the
days work is finished probably
the most enjoyable part will be
the gathering of the workers
around the bonfires tn enjoy
the ice cream and cake which
will be provided by the ladies
of the league.

Ex- Mayor ID. A. Critics wore
brand new hat to church last
Sunday night and lost it. Now
if it had been a woman and the
hat a merry widow we
would say it served her right;
but as Mr.. Critics is not at all
vain, and the hat was just an
inoffensive black one, we are
sorry. 1t was found that the
seats would not accommodate
the vast audience that gathered
to hear Miss Wheeler and while
Mr.. Critics was foraging a near
by place for chairs he put his
hat in cupboard used by the
ladies aid for storing dishes,
ETC., and when he looked, 10, it
was gone! Miss Wheeler made
some very pointed remarks
about hats and some thought
that Mr.. Critics might have felt
conscience stricken and have
thrown his hat away, but he
denied this, and anyway what
is the price of mans hat as
compared-but comparisons are
Odius. Mr.. Critics did not find
his hat, and as everybody
knows, you can't induce a self
respecting man to walk block
without hat on, it looked for
a time as if he would have to
remain in church all night but
the matter was finally adjusted
by Cashier Mccain who loaned
Mr.. Critics his hat and in turn
borrowed Rev. Prices who
lives next door to the church
and now Mr.. Critics has anoth-
er new hat. Who would be
mean enough to steal a mans
hat in church, anyhow?

INDEPENDENT SHELTER
TO START UP SOON

j. b. Jensen, manager of the Indepen-
dent Smelling company, and who is also
manager of the Ninety-Nine cOmpanV's
mines in the Good Springs district. Neva-
da, came up from the south yesterday
morning. He has been down to the mine
TO look after the installation of the new
hosting machinery and compressor plant
and was caught in conference with the
superintendent of the Independent com
panys plant. That concluded, Mr.. Jensen
said:
In brushing up things for resumption
OF operations at the smeter we have
found many things that required atten-
ton. We had hoped TO get under way
by the first of July but that is now
out of the question. We hope and expect,
however. to be under way before the 10th
We are now receiving some ore, but some
of our best contracts are being held back

mine was opened to a depth of 165 feet in
the new working shaft While mining is
being carried on at this depth and above
one machine drin will be kept at work
in the shaft, which is TO be continued
on down TO the 500-fOOt mark without a
stop, and probably deeper 4 carload of
fine ore was ready TO send up to the

left camp and this will be followed by
others at regular intervals.

MOUNTAIN LAKE

Representative of American
Fork Shareholders Brings
Excellent Report.
MINING TWO RICH VEINS
DRIFT IN CONTACT I'M SURE TO
CUT THE ORE.
MINING TWO RICH VEINS
Especial to The Herald.)

American Fork. June 26.-A. T. Card
ner of this city returned home today
from the Mountain Lake mine. mean
Heber City, where he had gone in the
interest of a number of American Fork
shareholders, who had become some
what alarmed over recent reports re-
garding this property.
Mr.. Gardner states that he was
treated very nicely while at the mine
by the mine superintendent, who
showed him every nook and corner
of the workings. The face of the tun-
mel showed very plainly that the con-
tact had been cut and that no ore was
found; while drifting in the contact
assure had begun. and nice progress
was being made with it. In comment
ing upon this, the superintendent was
enthusiastic over the prospects of
catching the ore by drifting, as it is
very strong in the shaft workings
above. and while the tunnel had tapped
the contact at a point as near as en-
glneers could determine would lead to
point at which il was supposed that
the ore could be cut, il was quite evil
dent that the tunnel could easily miss
1t either on one side or the other, while
drifting would surely overtake it be-
fore long.
AT a point about 1000 feet from the
face of the tunnel Gardner was shown
small vein of rich ore which was
being developed by up-raising. The
vein at the time he was at the mine
was six inches in width, and, accord
ing to the superintendent it assayed
on an average of 50 per cent copper
with high values in gold This. he was
sure, would lead to a large ore body,
a IL 20 6A
sure. Working on this were two shifts
of two men each, and they were MAX
ing good Roadway.
Not far from this rich vein was a
larger one about five feet wide which
seemed to be trending i'm about the
same direction as the smaller one, and
which, according to recent assays
averaged between 10 and % per cent
copper, with good values in gold. On
this two shifts of four men were at
work.
All Of the men seen at the property
seemed to be very much pleased with
the condition of the mine. although the
contact had proved a disappointment,
and they were positive in the assertion
that at no time in the history of the
mine did the work seem to be in more
interesting ground. All We're watching
every shot that was being fired in the
drift on the contact, as it is expected
that the ore will make at almost any
moment.
A small force of men is now at work
on the road leading TO the mine up
Snake creek. which is about two miles
up the canyon. II is now in a condi-
ton to haul ore over. and no doubt
some of the ore which has already been
taken out will be sent on TO the knight
Smelter at an early date.
Mr.. Gardner was full of enthusiasm
about the appearance of the property,
and gave it as his opinion that the
ground was capable of making a big
mine, not only from the outward ap-
pearance, but also from the inner
workings.

LIMITS OF ONTARIO
DRAIN TUNNEL REACHED

The western limits of the Ontario drain
tunnel level which is close to DAILY West
lines, was reached Thursday night and
found to be in good condition. after being
submerged for more than three years.
The avenue, the face of which is about
1850 feet from No. Ontario shaft. is so
muddy dirty and Shiny that ii VIII take
a few days TO get it in shape to operate
through. After that Manager Ernest Bam-
berger states. the task of sending the drift
out under the DAILY West shaft will be
taken up and vigorously pushed by the
latter company. This means that it will
not be long till the DAILY West mine is
drained and opened to an additional depth
of 500 or Geo feet, making available the
tremendous bodies of ore that it has been
impossible to follow down below the COO
on account of the water. II simply means
the making of a brand new mine of the
DAILY West.
Manager Bamberger stated that no eff
fort had yet been made to examine the
ledge cut in the Daily while the Ontario
and Daily companies were extending the
main avenue west in the direction of the
Daly West, but after the general clean
ing up this will receive attention and
work will most likely be ordered started

can be consigned TO our Tintic mill
and receive precisely the same atten-

any other and outside smelters will be

sired, the purpose being to make of
the Tintic works a counterpart of our
mills elsewhere and with the same
business methods employed.
About year or so ago the TAYLOR &
Brunton company, it will be remem-
oered, was figuring on doubling the
size OF its mills at Murray; then came
the slump in the price of the metals,
the court decisions against the smelt-
ers and the consequent closing down of
several plants in the valley. The situa-
ton did not look good to the TAYLOR
& Brunton company and the idea of
building the new mills was promptly
given up. Now it would seem that the
