Little and Winchester Fail to Carry Their Ward

Bismarck, April lO.-A spirit Of

pervades Bismarck. The detection

shown by the worthy individual

real money and exchanges it for a
grip full of brown paper.

intensely appealing look of pup

Well, that's the way Jewell look

Thinks Gronna Plays Double.

Editor Grand Forks Herald:
The Lake papers are SO hide
bound for Mckenzie and the rail-
roads that to express my ideas I
must ask space in your publica-
ton. I was elected a delegate to
the republican convention held
yesterday in Lakota, and came to
the gathering with sentiments
favorable to Congressman Gronna.
The only issue fought out in the
convention was that of Mckenzie
or nti-McKenzie. I was inform
ed on my arrival at Lakota that NJ.
N. johnson and A. 81. Stewart
we're leading the anti-McKenzie
movement among the delegates,
and that Congressman Gronna was
making a fight for a machine dele
cation to- the Minot convention.
1 wanted definite information be-
fore [ could believe that any man
occupying the position Of congress
man from our state would have the
nerve to make an open Mckenzie
fight, and I attended the stalwart
caucus held in the .Workmen hall
just prior to the opening of the
convention. At this preliminary
meeting Congressman Gronna de-
livered an address in which he
stated that he was not lined up
with Mckenzie but was against
him; that he saw Alec only for a
few minutes on his way west from
Washington, at which time he in.
formed Mckenzie that the latter
was down and out in state politics
and would have to be side-tracked
and dropped from the leadership
of the party or it would be ruined.
Aftea this public utterance I tho't
that Gronna could be trusted with
the delegation to Minot, and about
made up my mind to follow his
leadership. What was my aston
ishment, therefore, when the con-
vention assembled, and the com.
mittee on resolutions reported, to
find Congressman Gronna working
tooth and nail on the floor of the
convention to defeat the passage
of a simple resolution instructing
the delegates to Minot to work
against Mckenzie and the corpor-
ations represented by him. A
solid stalwart lineup opposed this
resolution and Gronna stood up in
the open convention and was count
ed among the Mckenzie forces.
Gronna,s 8 conduct thruout the pro-
ceeding of the convention convin-
ced me that he was playing double
with the people, and working as
hard as human could work for a
Mckenzie delegation. The defeat
Of the anti-McK cKenzie resolution is
a lasting disgrace to our county
and state, and for this Congress
man Gronna is individually and
personally responsible.
I would not make this public
statement If it were not for my re-
.membrance Of the manner in
which Gronna deceived me into
supporting him, and this is intsnd-
ed as a warning to others in q sim-
liar position.
Yours truly,

ROUND MT. PRODUCING AT
RATE OF $500 TONS MONTHLY

Twenty-Five hundred tons a month il
the production of the properties of the
Round Mountain Mining company. and
this total may be increased at an early
date. The ore is running in the neigh.
borhood of $12 to $14 a ton.
James r. Davis, one of the princinal
owners of the property, returned yester.
day evening from Round Mountain.
highly pleased with the development
work and the prospects for the coming
year. Good ore, he says, is being OBJ
tanned on the 600-foot level, and the
management is also cutting into the
real stuff at the 700 by upraising. The
ore is now being extracted by means of
the incline shaft, but Mr.. Davis saws
that at an early date a vertical shaft
will be sunk, which will probably
greatly increase the monthly produc-
ton.

Local Favorites Make Splendid Gains While the

when it gets started and it is well to
keep an eye on it.
Florence reached the $4.75 point dur
ing the week, being a fine gain, but be-
fore the end of the week it sagged
off some, although transactions were
light. Florence is improving for two
reasons; one the fact that the new mill
is about to start operation, and the
other that q reorganization of the work
ing force would seem to insure better
results.
1t is time for some Of the preferred
prospects to be picking up, such as the
Wingfeld and Nixon issues, for in
stance. There is reason to believe that
these operators are about to begin
working some of the lesser properties
which they control, such as Cracker
jack, Blue Bull, etc. 1t is understood
that there will be something doing on
Blue Bull within a short time. That
ground has always been a favorite with
Wingield and Nixon, and the develop
ments of the Knickerbocker lease on
this ground is so encouraging that there
will doubtless be more work started
there soon.

The mining market closed the week
with considerable strength all along the
line, especially with the standards,
which made notable gains over the pre-
ceding week and closed along toward
the top.
Heavy buying of Consolidated sent
that security above the 50 mark, and
this price bringing out but a very few
shares on the local board. Trading in
this stock is confined almost entirely
to the New York and San Francisco
market, where more stock is to be had.
GoldfeId holders of Consolidated are
sitting tight and not letting go a share.
The rise, of course, is due to the ap-
preaching Christmas time, when the big
Consolidated mill will be put into com
mission, which will be followed short
ly by the first dividend.
Combination Fraction held from
$1.37 to $1.40 all week. This stock has
not moved much since George Wingield
gained control. No attempt has been
made to produce a tonnage, the only
ore taken out is that produced in de-
velopment work. The reason for this
has become apparent, the Fraction is
about to acquire a mill of it's own, and
klo~o 80. :, rooonn tn shin hnf a hpf-
ter economy was to be observed In
holding the ore for their own mill. Al
though it has been denied, it can be
taken as a fact that the Fraction will
soon take over the Combination mill
and this will probably be authoratively
announced before the next issue of The
News. Meanwhile only enough ore is
being produced to pay expenses. When
the Fraction gets it's mill, a tremendous
output can be expected, and as the
company treasury is already in excel
lent shape, dividends should not be
long delayed. Fraction is due for a
good sized advance.
Rumors of a merger of Great Bend
and Daisy affected the latter stock,
which had been allowed to sink to a
pretty low point, the past few days,
with view, doubtless, of shaking out
the weak ones. Daisy is always a good
speculative stock and seems to be
inside and out. Nothing au-
thoritive can be had from either the
Daisy or the Great Bend people on the
rumor Great Bend was not
moved by the merger talk, and the
stock has remained ~listless and some
weak, but mine conditions would
warrant better prices, if rumors are

dated lease. This stock is closely held
and a slight demand sends up the price.
OF the outside stocks, Nevada Hills
and Rawhide Coalition easily held the
boards. Nevada Hills took a jump of
nearly IS cents in a single day last
week, but sagged of from 81 to about
$1.65 before the close of the week. Tit
reason for the sudden rise was found
in several bull elements. An enormous
strike was made Of sulphide ores run
ming from $1,000 to the ton upward,
with a body 20 feet thick. About the
same time the sixth dividend was de-
clared, and in addition it was an
nounced that contracts had been signed
for a mill, all of which combined to
put the stock way above its former
level, and restores the mine to its place
among the very big bonanzas of the
state.
Rawhide Coalition has been subject
to manipulation in New York, and has
seen violent fluctuations. Rice ana
Goodwin recently announced the prob
able sale of control to a large eastern
syndicate, and at the same time began
a campaign to squeeze the shorts who
had put out about 10000 shares, it is
said. They played the New York
market for good, and forced the stock
from 40 cents some two months ago, to
$1.45 on Thursday last, when the bub-
bic was pricked and the price collapsed
in a jiffy to 75 cents, then rebounded
to $1.25, then down again next day to
go bid, and SO asked. 1t is a fierce
game the Goodwin company is playing
in New York and some one will be
burned, but whether it is Goodwin or
the New York crowd remains to be
seen.
