SMALLPOX DID RUN RIOT
DISEASE WAS ON THE RAMPAGE
SURE ENOUGH.
B. G. Reynolds Writes Of His Adni-

Restabiish Quarantine.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
At the request of Free Press read
er, the following communication from
Benjamin G. Reynolds, of Winnebago,
to The Minneapolis Journal, is re-
printed Mr.. Reynolds writes:
ct was with good deal of salts
faction and commentator that / read
in the Twin City papers the animal
version of DR.. Evans of Chicago as
to the attitude of our state board of
health in relation to small pOx. Late
ly by exposure to a person who had
the smallpox so lightly he did not
realize it, number of persons came
down in our village and vicinity with
that disease. Numerous applications
were made to the local board of health
to quarntine not only those who had
it, but those living with and waiting
upon the patients, but they replied
that the regulations of the state
board of health did not permit this.
CONSERVATION prevailed, farmers would
not come to town, scholars were kept
out of school, The Methodists at
Granada gave up their Sunday morning
service to attend dedicatory service
of the Methodist church here, but did
not come for fear they might contract
the disease The village council very
wisely and promptly passed reso-
luton to quarantine not only the pa
tients, but those exposed and the
houses where the disease existed. The
marshal was ordered to enforce the
regulations. The quarantine was read
ily acquiesced in, and thus confidence
was restored, the farmers came in,
children went back to school, the
spread of the disease was checked and
is now about wiped out.
eff the state board of health does
not establish other sufficient and more
protective quarantine regulations as to
smallpox, at least in the country, the
people will demand that the next legis-
lature enact them for the adequate
protection of our citizens"

GAME WON BY BROOKLYN
HENDERSON TAKEN IN ar THE.
NORTH MANKATO 1oYS.
Basketball Draws Good Crowd; Com /.
merciaI.C ollege Team Defeated
By Piiisbury Academy.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Miss Garry of Henderson brought
down two teams of boys last evening
to play basketball with the North
Mankato boys. They came in on the
eight o'clock train and stayed as
guests of the North Mankato boys I'M
til one o'clock today.
Henderson has no gymnasium and
Miss Garry does remarkable WORK with
her boys without having one. They
put up the best game of any of the
teams that North Mankato has played.
Henderson Second Team VS.. North
MankatO.
This game was close from begin
ming to end, each team realizing that
it was to be close contest. The final
score was Is to Is in favor of North
Mankato.
The North Mankato team consisted
of Ray Temple, Lynden Hedberg, Yves
ley Wachtler, Teddie Anderson and
Herman Wagner.
Henderson's First Team VS.. North
MdukdlU.
This game was very close but the
playing, while it was very good, was
not as strong as in the first game. The
Henderson boys were very much
larger, yet North Mankato could have
won had it not been for their being
too confident of winning. So conf
dent were they that Henderson got
great start, during the first half. Dur
ing the second half North Mankato
played good game and brought the
score up to Is to II in North Man
kato's favor. During the last few sec
onds of play Henderson made a basket,
thus leaving the final score 10 to Is
in Henderson's favor.
Henderson desires to play North
Mankato at Henderson in the near
future.
The Mankato Commercial college
basket ball team went down to defeat
at Owatonna last evening before the
Pillsbury academy team, but by the
close score of eighteen to seventeen.
The game was well played, and the
Commercial college boys did not take
the result of the game so much to
heart as they might if the score had
not been so close. A return game
will be played later in this city, when
it is hoped to more than reverse the
score.

Sulphide Ore Found
On the Mutt Lease

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-The
following dispatch relative to Raw
hide, was received over the Hudson
private wire yesterday afternoon:
THE Mutt lease on Block 9 of the
Wild West claim of the Coalition to-
day holds the center of interest on
the west slope of Grutt hill. The
strike of sulphide ore made yester-
day on the forty-foot level has de-
veloped one of the biggest discoveries
ever made in the district. The face
of the drift now shows twelve inches
of ore that averages between $500
and $500 ton. Half the values are
in silver and the ore shoot has every
indication of permanency Nearly a
ton of rich stuff was sacked today
practically without sorting and it is
estimated that it will run close to
500 ton. A winze will be sunk on
the new ore body and crosscut will
be run from the 100-foot station in
the main shaft to intersect the vein

DIAMOND QUEEN
HITS rich vein

RHYOLITE, New, Sept 2o.-The
winze on the south drift of the origi-
nal lease at the Diamond Queen is
again in a big body of ore, similar
to the ore from which two cars were
taken a few weeks ago. The lessees
have been following the ore chin
ney, which dips steadily toward the
porphyry-lime contact for 40 feet.
Some ore has been encountered all
the way, and the heavy iron and
spar for the last Is feet indicated an
ore deposit, which was broken into
a few days ago. There has not been
enough work done as yet to deter
mine the extent of the ore, but it
looks as though the shoot was still
larger than the last and the grade of
ore seems to be better but no as
find, as the lessees know the ore is
high grade shipping stuff and are
too busy taking it out to have any
tests made A carload shipment
will be made soon
Strehilke e Scale, leasing on the
Easter Sunday, will soon make a
carload shipment to the smelter.
Mr.. Scale is looking for hoist and
one will probably be secured the

continues in the drift at the 65-foot

it will not be long until this lease
has use for the ore haulers. Mr..
May will be down from Goldfield in
a few days and it is expected that

Mining STOCKS
AS COLLATERAL

Much interest has been manifested
. in many quarters in the proposal of
he American National Bank of Los
Angeles to make loans upon certain
classes of mining stocks. This is
an innovation of vast importance to
the mining business, and is being
discussed as such by financial jour
nails of standing from New York
west. NJ j. Monette, who gained
fame as one of the partners in the
Hayes-Monette leasing project at
Goldfield that netted the firm mill
lions, is director of this bank, and
has reason to know that mining is a
legitimate business, and that many
mining securities have as certain a
value as railroad and industrial
stocks.
The announcement that the Ameri-
can National would accept stocks as
security for loans was made by Mr.
Monette at a meeting of the direc-
tors of the Los Angeles-Nevada
Stock Exchange. In handling a
large business with San Francisco,
Los Angeles brokers frequently have
many thousands of dollars in tran
sit, and, under the former regime, it
was impossible to arrange for the
necessary credit. In dealing with
New York, Philadelphia and other
Eastern points the discrimination
was even more keenly felt, with the
result that those working upon a
small capital were frequently COM
PEELED to refuse business 1t is be-
lieved that the lead of the American
National will be followed by other
banks in Los Angeles. 1t must not
be inferred that any kind of security
will be accepted. Great care will be
taken in keeping abreast of mining
developments, but, as all such loans
will be on call, there will be little
risk. Good stocks will command w
to 40 per cent of the daily prices as
shown by the exchange proceedings
at Los Angeles, New York and Sar
Francisco.
In New York loans on mining
stocks are limited to some individual
enterprises and brokers, none of the
banks caring to make any effort t.
secure that class of business. The
banks in the East have always had 8
prejudice against this character o.
collateral, and, while not ruling en-
tirely against it, and making occas
ional exceptions, they have admitted
their inability to secure the proper
information to render this phase o
the loaning business. profitable
n. Now that mining stocks are enjoyin,
more popularity than ever, and al
much local speculative capital is tiet
up in mines, the necessity of max
ing loans on mining stocks has be
come more urgent.
No development in the mining
business would add greater tone AM
bring quicker into repute the coun
try's best mines than list of min
ing stocks upon which some loca
banking institution would be willin
to make advances. That this ste
will come in time there is no ques

ton, as the awakening which the
mining business has undergone in
the East during the past seven years
is not due to come to any sudden
stop.
