Walsh was unheard and the man
himself was stranger, except to n
few prospectors and mine operators

before the desired extension of the

Mr.. Walsh laid his plans for the
development of til. August simi-
larlly to those which the present
company have carried out with the
exception of the driving of tun-
mel from the base OF the mountain
at whose foot the air compressor

This wonld have eliminated the
necessity Of tram and Mr.. Walsh
was to have the railway spur ex-
tended to the mouth Of the propos-
ed tunnel and mill was to have
been erected. According to the
story given respecting the finding
of the old Camp Bird, it was the
discovery Of ore on the dump OF

ance might carry gold along with
the silver, lead, copper and zinc.
The sampling of the ore is told by
Mr.. Welsh as follows
Outside | found a dump OF the
snowy ore having zinc, lead and
some copper pyrites. l went i'll
side and examined the vein and /
found an Is inch streak of the same
kind of ore that was on the dump.
Between it and the hanging wall
there was about three feet OF mod

i comes, it viii be a factoiy that
will be located here because Of
Hutchinson 5 location in the cen
ter of the biggest wheat field in
the world and. because of its ex-
ceptional railroad facilities.
1t is a factory for making head
er barges, so many of which are
in use in Kansas wheat fields dur
ing harvest time. 1t is a new
thing and there are basic pat
ents cvoering the new barge. |.
should be success.
Winfred Jacobs. of Eodga ity,
the patentee, is here taking a
a look at Hutchinson with sumo
idea of this being a good town TO
the location of such an enter
prise. He is a young man but he
is well known over Western Kan
sas where he has worked for sew
eral years in patenting imp ovt-
ments in agricultural implem ntS.
He has patented several things,
some of which are in use now.
! But what he claims to be the
best thing in all is a header
barge, which is box used on a
wagon at wheat harvest time.
He is to make this of steel. This
sounds like it is a costly affair,
but he claims that it. will cost the
farmer. less than to buy the
lumber and build a header barge
himself, out of wood. Then ther'
are other good points in cOnnec-
! ton with this barge, one Of whlcl
kIs the fact that it is a grain
saver, keeping the. scattered whea
from being lost on the way from
the header to the stack or the
1.thresher. This is the strong
point, as the farmer is ready for
anything which saves part Of
his crop that has before been
/
'Ost. Then it can be taken apart,
easily too, and stored away in
small space, out OF the wealth
er, which makes it last as long as
ID half dozen wooden barges last.
To be sure the location is not
decided upon fOrthe factory, but
Mr.. Jacobs and other Dodge city
men. feel like Hutchinson would
be a good place. fer the manu-
fracture of this barge. llutchin-
son is on the railroad tracks OF
the roads that do business with
the man who sows and harveStS
wheat. 1t is located at the
right point to reach the most PEG
pie who are interested in the mar
ufacture of things of this sort
and there is every reason why
the factory should be located
There.
1t is probable that Mr.. Jacobs
and other Dodge City men, who
know about this patent, will at
tend the meeting of the Com
mercial club next Tuesday night
and that the matter will be
pushed further forward.
Mr.. Jacobs says he can sell all
a small factory will make before
hey are made, for he has mod
ell to show to people who are not
aware of the uses of the barge.
This model is at the Commercial
club rooms and a good many of
the business men have been there
TO see Hutchinson News.
Mr.. Jacobs is now the well
known land man of Dodge City,
but was raised in Comanche town
ship this county, being the son
of Oscar Jacobs, an early day set
tier. His Barton county friends
wish him success.
