BOARD DOES GOOD WORK
New Department is Advertising Land
Opportunities in Wisconsin

The state board Of immigration which
was established by the last legislature
is doing a large and effective work in
spreading information regarding the
excellent opportunities for settlers in
Wisconsin. AS the available and low
er priced land is mostly in the northern
sections Of the state, the work Of the
board is most effective for that terri
tory, but is nevertheless profitable for
the entire state. The board IS work
lis in charge of Commissioner A. D.
Campbell, formerly Of Ladysmith, who
has an office in the capitol. He pre-
pares and sends out literature and IL
Illustrated matter in various languages,
prepares descriptive articles for vari-
GUS publications, principally farm jour
nails, and answers inquiries for informa-
ton. The board works in harmony
with the numerous local development
associations and in some instances when
requested by prospective settlers to do
| so, the board puts them in communica
ton with land development companies.
The results Of the new work are already
being shown and Wisconsin is getting a
goodly share Of the settler class. Com
missioner Campbell says there is large
opportunity for more work and he is
charging the department. as fast as the
Legislation will allow. The correspon-
dence Of the department. is already
large and each mail brings requests
for detailed information as to the OBJ
portunities offered by Wisconsin to
those who desire to secure land and
make prosperous farm houses.

ALTA COPPER MINE.
Attorney L. +. Wiley Believes It Has
4 Bright Future.

Atty. l.. f. Wiley. who returned
from Idaho yesterday with Ernest r.
Woolley with whom he was accom-
panied to the property Of the Alta
Copper company, expressed himself to-
day as being highly pleased with con-
ditions in camp. Late developments
made on what is known as the En-
pire vein, he declared, certainly indl-
cate that the Alta copper mine is pos
sessed of some great resources.
Mr.. Wiley has large sample of
ore taken from the bottom Of Il 23foot
shaft which carries good values in
copper, silver and lead. The vein is
about seven feet wide and on account
of the intrusion of water In the shaft
the management has decided to reach
it through tunnel to be driven into
the mountain several hundred feet be-
low.
None the less important is the Amer
lean vein on the opposite side of the
canyon, which Mr.. Wiley says, crops
for a distance OF mile along which
there is scarcely a place where rock
can be Clipped Oft that does not assay.
The Alta company owns some splen-
did water rights, for power and milling
purposes while the hills are covered
with an abundance of timber sufficient
to meet all mine requirements.
