tons of gypsum per day and construction
will begin as soon as material can be
bought and delivered at the site, which is
located on the Rio Grande railroad line,
within three miles of Salina station in
Sewer county. The mill is being designed
as first unit of works that will even
tually be increased to several times the
initial capacity.
The company fourteen claims in
Salina canyon. which cover deposit of
gypsum said to be one of the largest in
the world and of a grade that is elsewhere
unapproached The deposit has a width
of 300 feet and it is claimed that a LOO
ton mill could not exhaust the deposit in
100 years; even longer than that, but that
is sufficient to figure upon.
Analyses of this deposit of gypsum,
made by competent chemists and analyt-
ioal metaIlurgists shows it to run from
81 to IS per cent pure, while the best rec
ords for similar deposits found IN govern
ment works do not give more than 81
per cent.

Mr. Tarbet says it is going to be high
ly profitable to mine from the grass
roots down. At depth, he believes, the
biggest deposits win be found in the
granite side of the great contact.
Conditions for mining are ideal.
There is everything required in that
country, with the exception of coal AMI
timber, and the latter will not be ex-
pensixe when the railroad is built.
Coal will be required, of course, but
with the great adjacent power plants
the cost of electricity will be so rea-

minimum of cost. In fact, SO well

How Ore Was Lost and Found.


After mining the great ore shoot in
the Paymaster to a depth of 100 feet
and after taking out ore that the records
show to have carried from 200 to 1000
ounces in silver, something like % per
cent lead and heavy excess OF iron,
the ore was cut off clean by a fault.
Something like S6.000.00G had been real
izszr from this work and the company
then set about to relocate the ore bod
les. Strange as it may appear, all the
work was done in the wrong direction
and the shoot was never recovered That
is the reason We We're able to get the
property at the bargain we did.
We'll. our engineers got busy in learn
ing just how the ground had faulted and
men were put to work with a view of
demonstrating their theories. The fault
line was found in the old workings and
it was noted that every effort had been
made to pick up the ore below where
they had mined above and on the same
side of the fault plant Every time a
drift was sent back in the opposite oil
rectiOn and il reached the fault fissure
in the formation work was suspended.
These things made il evident that the
ore shoot had been cut in two; that the
portion mined had dropped down the line
of the fault fissure- 1t was then decided
TO raise along the fault line to a con-
nection with the top of that portion of
the shoot that had evidently remained
in place. AS this work progressed 1t be-
came evident that the combination had
sue began to show lead along the streak
made by the slipping ore body down the
incline. We have now raised over sixty
feet and caught the ore. and it is plain
that it will continue TO an indefinite
depth on that side of the fault
Another Bonanza Ledge.
Mr. Burton states that the company is
also developing another ledge in its great
estate at Ward that is counted upon to
supply a good grade of lead-silver ores
for A century to come. unless il turns
to copper at depth. Cut with a tunnel
at considerable depth, this ledge has been
crOss-cut for q width of seventy feet
without reaching the opposite wall. The
mass will average per cent lead, Is
TO 20 ounces silver and a heavy excess
of iron. Twenty feet of it will go Is
to 20 per cent lead, with an ounce of sill
yer for each unit. while the last two
| feet passed through contains a gray sand
carbonate that carries from 50 to IS per
cent lead.
This gives but faint idea of what
has kbeen disclosed at the properties since
their development was taken up by the
present company which is a rather close

SHERIFF BONDE GETS
A BOARD JUMPER

Monday evening Sheriff Bonde
received a telegram from the RAM
sey county authorities to arrest and
hold one E. B. Wheaton, who had
skipped out from St. Paul and left
a board bill of about $500 unpaid
at the Northern hotel. Mr.. Bonde
made the arrest as Mr.. Wheaton
was about to board the late even
ing west bound passenger, and the
prisoner was held here till this
morning, when he was taken to St.
Paul by Sheriff Gerber, who came
up to get him last night.
Mr.. Wheaton was injured at
Morris in May last while in the
employ of the Great Northern, and
he had been staying at the Northern
the past six months, preparatory to
suing the road for heavy damages.
1t is said that short time ago a
satisfactory settlement was made,
and that now he was trying to get
away without in turn making the
necessary settlement with his law
yers and keepers. Wheaton is the
same man who figured in the police
affray here last spring. At that
time he pleaded guilty to assault
and paid a fine and costs.

COAST TRAIN
IS WRECKED
East Bound Flyer Collides With
With Rear End of Freight
Train Near Cl0ntarf.

Great Northern passenger train
No. 4, due here at 1925 a. m.. ran
into the tail end Of an extra freight
at Clontarf this morning at 4
O'Clock. The passenger engine was
derailed, setting fire to a number
of freight cars. Engineer Denny
Of St. Paul had an arm and leg
scalded by hot water from a burst
pipe, and one of the mail clerks
was somewhat cut and bruised.
None of the passengers were in
jured. Conductor McMullen was
trying to pull his freight in the
clearing but he was unable to do so
in time to prevent the collision.
The passenger was running behind
its schedule and was trying to make
up time. The heavy fog which
prevailed prevented Engineer Denny
from seeing the freight before
within two miles Of it, but the fact
that he saw it then probably saved
the passenger from a terrible
wreck.
The morning passenger for the
cities was sent out to Clontarf in
stead, to take the passengers on
No. 4 thru to Willmar. A special
equipment train passed thru here
from St. Paul about noon. It is
expected that the noon passenger
from the west will get thru about
an hour late.
Later-The injured persons passed
thru here at noon on the way to St.
Paul. Besides Engineer Denny,
Mr.. P. Orgey, the fireman. was also
somewhat injured. as were Camp
bell, Hawkins and Anderson, the
three mail clerks.

The Swedish society, Vega, gave
a very enjoyable social to it's men,

invited guests last Monday evening
at Bonde Hall. The first part of
the evening was taken up with a
literary and musical program.
Judge Nordin delivered an interest
ing speech on the society and it's
objects, and also rendered several
humorous selections that were great
ly enjoyed. The musical part of
the program consisted of piano
solos by Miss Esther Peterson, a
flute and piano duet by Misses Car

and as special feature. a violin
solo by Prof. N. B. Swalin. That
is, he was down for only one se]ec-
tion, but his rendition of a Swedish
selection was so thoroly appreciated
that he had to respond to two en-
cores, also consisting of Swedish Sc
lections that took the audience by
storm. After the program the
crowd adjourned to the main hall,
where delicious lunch was served.
Having done full justice to this
part of the program, the crowd
amused themselves in various ways
for some time, the children espe-
