EXCELLENT WEATHER
AND MAGNIFICENT CROPS
REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN
ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING.

A correspondent writes the Winni-
peg (Man.) Free Press: The Pinch
er Creek district, (Southern AL
berta), the original home Of fall
wheat, where it has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about 25 years, is eXcelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels is a
common yield, and many fields go up
to so, go and over, and most of it No.
1 Northern. Even last year, which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained but owing to the
season the quality was not so good. 1t
is probably safe to say that the aver
age yield from the Old Mans River to
the boundary will be At or 48 bushels
per acre, and mostly No. 1 Northern.
One man has just made a net profit
from his crop of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price Of
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
ent, when crop or two will pay for
it, and failure almost unknown Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, also stock and
dairying, and there is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Co
lumbia, for the abundant hay of the
district, and poultry, pork, and gar
den truck. Coal is near and cheap
Jim Hill has an eye on its advan-
tages, and has invested here, and is
bringing the Great Northern Railroad
soon, when other lines will follow
The wheat, oat and. barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers Of that country (and many of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises us that he will be pleased
to give information to all who desire
it about the new land regulations by
which a settler may now secure 100
acres in addition to his $50 home
stead acres, at $500 an acre, and also
how to reach these lands into which
railways are being extended. 1t might
be interesting to read what is said of
that country by the Editor of the
Marshall (Minn.) News-Messenger,
who made trip through portions Of it
in July, 1908. Passing through more
than three thousand miles of Western
Canada's agricultural lands, touring
the northern and southern farming
belts of the Provinces of Manitoba
Saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu
merous drives through the great grain
fields, we were made to realize not
only the magnifcence of the crops, but
the magnitude, in measures, of the
vast territory opening, and to be
opened to farming immigration There
are hundreds of thousands Of farmers
there, and millions of acres under cul
tivation, but there is room for mil
| lions more, and other millions of acre
! age available. We could see in Western
! Canada in soil, product, topography OIL
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting al
every point many business men and
farmers who went there from this
state, 1t was difficult to realize one
was beyond the boundary of the
country"

SEEMED A TRIFLE PERSONAL.
Clergyman's Particular Reason for
Omittinq the Fifth Verse.

A clergyman in an interior town
married q woman from whom he re-
ceived dowry of $4,000 and a pros
pect of more. Shortly afterwards,
while occupying the pulpit, he gave
out a hymn, read the first verse and
proceeded to read the fifth, COM
mencing:
Forever let my grateful heart, -
then he hesitated and exclaimed:
1.-The choir will omit the fifth verse"
Some of the congregation read the
verse for themselves and smiled as
they read:
Forever let my grateful heart
His boundless grace adore.
Which gives ten thousand blessings now
And bids me hope for more.

CONCENTRATOR FOR ALADDIN

The Aladdin Mining company, with
head offices in this city, Is con.
structing cOncentrator on its prop
erty which is expected to be ready
for operation about August /. The
company has a large quantity of
ore blocked out, sufficient to run
the mill for a year or more, accord
ing to j. l.. Magney, vice president
of the company.
Mr.. Magney states that crew of
men has been at work all winter at
the mine and that the property Is
looking better every day. The ore
contains large amount of zinc
which must be separated from the
lead ores in order to get the values
of each.
Mr.. Magney says that 40 tons of

mine and is now ready to be install
ed. A sawmill will be sent in this
week, and then the building of the
mill will proceed rapidly.

Most Modern and Powerful Electric
Hoist Manufactured
The finishing touches have been
put on the apparatus composing the
new electric hoist which has been in
process of installation for the past
few months at the Hecla Mining
property at Burke.
The Hecla hoist is one of the most
up-to-date and powerful electric
hosting machines that is manufac-
tured in this county and while it is
put in at high initial cost, it is a
well-tried device and will result in
added efficiency and economy of op-
Grafton.
The expansion of the ore body in
the lower level of the Hecla has war;
ranted the equipment for deep work.
The hoist consists of two reels, each
equipped with $500 feet of 3-Sx4-
inch flat rope with skip and cage
weighing $500 pounds and an ore
capacity OF 5000 pounds. The hoist
will operate normally in balance and
will make q lifts an hour from the
depth Of 24O0 feet. When required
to hoist unbalanced the hosting
speed will be reduced one half of the
normal. The power is available from
the line Of the Washington Water

Plans are being made for the in,

Mining company to take over and de-
velop the AmazonDiXie group OF
claims at Lookout, adjoining the
Leslie mine.
The plans also include the install
lation of compressor at the prop

pushing of development work
Wesley Everett, with his brothers
Martin and Frank, own the claims
and Cleveland capitalists will aid in
the development. No stock will be
issued until such time as the prop
erty has demonstrated its ability to
take care of itself, when certificates
will be issued to the original sub
scribers for the amount of their sub
scription.
1t is Mr.. Everett's intention to in
stall machinery on the Amazon-DiX-
lie which can be used for develop
ment both of this property and the
Leslie.
The Amazon-Dixie has fine sur
face showing, there being rich look
ing galena and copper pyrites at the
grass roots. Little development has
been done so far.
The promoters plan to drive two
tunnels, one to gain depth of $50
feet and the other to be 1900 feet
long and to get a depth of 700 feet
The portal of the lower tunnel will
be near the railroad and this will
be used as the main working tunnel.
