History in the Making.

Warren Upham, secretary and lie
brarian of the Minnesota state his
torical society, is one of a number
of prominent Minnesotians who have
expressed a willingness to take part
in the Minnesota Valley Pioneers
day exercises to be held in this city
July I'd. Mr.. Upham is perhaps the
best posted on early Minnesota his
tory Of any man in this state, his
long continued connection with the
Minnesota historical society giving
him exceptional opportunities for
investigation and research into our
early history. For this reason, it is
earnestly desired that the pioneers
who come here next July should add
their mite of testimony to all the
important facts connected with the
settlement of this valley as we'll as
to the particular period connected
with the Indian troubles. Secretary
Upham has given several lectures on
the early explorers of the Minnesota
valley and kindred themes and will
doubtless have a conspicuous place
on the program for Pioneers day.
The committee in charge Of ar
engagements for Pioneers day have
not heard from all their invited
guests but have received assurances
from Congressman Davis and Vol
stead that they will be pleased to
come on that day if Congress should
adjourn in time to allow them to
come home before that date, and
several other well known public men
have expressed their willingness to
come.
The design of establishing the cell
ebration of Pioneers day is to make
it, if possible, an annual meeting
place for the pioneers before they
have become too old to take part in
such meetings, and also to add to
the materials for creating an au-
thentlc account of an exceedingly
eventful period in the history of the
Minnesota valley.

A committee from the Post and
Corps met to arrange for observance
of Memorial and Decoration days.
Mrs. j. B. Robinson read a very in
teresting item. telling that the first
decorating of the soldiers graves
was done by the Confederates.
Mrs. John Logan. seeing the dec
Grafton of the soldiers graves in
Petersburg cemetery, thought it a
beautiful tribute to the soldier
dead, and recommended that it be
done to honor the graves Of the
Union soldiers.

Ex-Sheriff Wickmann, who was in
this city last Thursdy, figured in
quite sensational piece of detective
work last week, when in company
with j. H. MCGOWAN, the Morton
horse man, he traced up ard secured
the arrest of VIM. Jungers, who was
working on the Ziller farm in Nor
folk township, and had McGowan's
valuable PAGER, Minnie Nutwood,
concealed in FILLER sstable. Jungers,
who had taken the mare from her
stable in Morton. is barely 81 years
old. He was placed in the Olivia
Jail and when examined the next
morning, pleaded guilty. His pre-
vious good reputation and the SYM
pathy felt for his parents had the
effect of making the court extreme
ly lenient, to say the least. the pris-
oner escaping with $500 fine. The
young man was exceedingly peni-
tent, and it is hoped the lesson will
not be wasted upon him.

The death of Bert T. Barnes, for
mer publisher of the Olivia Review,
occurred at Vinton, Iowa, on the
10th inst, pneumonia being the
cause. Mr.. Barnes leased the Red
wood Reveille for short time some
years ago, with an associate, under
the name of Barnes & Kruse and
later acted as foreman for some
months in The Gazette office. Mr..
Barnes was nephew of the late
John Woods of Delhi, and was born
and brought up at LeSueur. The
disease which carried him off was
contr acted as the result of exposure
in connection with his drawing a
winning number in the division of
the Rosebud Indian reservation lands
and going to the reservation to make
his selection. Mr.. Barnes was an
Industrious and we'll informed man,
Of quiet rather than an aggressive
turn in his business career.

WINNING STREAK FOR Pv LANDS.
Springfield Reversed 2 to 5, Sleepy Eye
Slaughtered IS to 3.

The Pv Lands struck a winning
streak in their games in this city last
week. The game with Springfield
last Thursday would have been an
uncomfortably close one for the Pvs,
had it not been that in the first in
ming Springfeld's pitcher, 10 Smith,
was not properly supported in the
field, the bunch allowing the locals
to pile up four scores in swift sue
cession. From that on there was
good ball on both sides, Springfield
getting two runs on errors of the
Pvs and the latter getting one, max
ing the total score FIVE to two in ia
vor of the Pvs. Kramer, Spring
fields former pitcher, did good work
for the Pvs, allowing only four hits.
Redwood Falls had revengement
on the Sleepy Eye aggregation on
the 23d, Lefty" March falling
down after the first inning and al
lowing the locals to indulge in a
binglefest that piled up Is runs
against the Sleepy Eye warriors. In
the first inning Francois allowed the
visitors to make three runs, but af-
ter that gave the Indians not single
chance to take a scalp, and they re-
turned to their tepees with Is to
d efeat chalked up against them.

Warning from Society of Equity.

We are informed that circulars
being sent out to the farmers Of the
Northwest by corporation already
for the purpose of purchasing
terminal elevator at Minneapolis,
MINI. There never was a time
when so many propositions were
Matched in the name of the farmers
or in the name Of cooperation as
the present, and | believe it is my
duty to warn the farmers to investi-
gate carefully all such propositions
before investing any money in them,
says Thos. G. Nelson, president Of
the grain growers department of
the Society Of Equity.
1t is conceded by every one who
has given the matter some thought
that farmers must own or control
facilities for the handling of their
grain in the terminal markets, that
is, such portions of it as must neces-
sarily pass through terminal centers.
But to raise sufficient sum of mon
ey by subscription and then incor-
porate and appoint committees to
look up the location and condition
Of all elevators and other facilities
in all the terminal centers where the
grain would enter, would seem to be
safer way to proceed.

]. A. Schmahl surprised his rela-
tives and friends in this city last
Friday, by dropping in by the after
noon train. He was called to Glib
bon on business matter and con-
cluded that it would be worth while
to put in a day at the old town, Wis.,
iting his farm southwest of this city
and shaking hands with a few humid
red people he knew here. Mr..
Schmahl had just returned from his
trip to Washington in the interest
of state drainage and river improve
ment and not only had his patriotism
stirred up by the historical associa-
tons and sights at Washington and
vicinity, but was confirmed in his
belief of the possibilities of the can
alization Of the Minnesota by see
ing what has been done in that line
in Virginia and Ohio.

town from the Rainier Mine Friday, purchasing supplies for the camp.
 Nearly every one in town Thursday enjoyed a ride in the new auto truck belonging to the Corona Copper Co. The load, which included the writer, was taken out to the San Marcus mine, four miles southeast of Wendendale. Here we were very courteously treated by L. B. Carr, the manager. who took us down into the mine. The inclined shaft is 500 feet deep, the ore is a free milling gold and the shaft and drifts are number ed every ten feet where samples have been taken out for assaying. Levels have been made every hundred feet, drifts run on the vein, and enough pay ore developed to run a 2O-stamp mill for two years. The San Marcus is going to be one of the mines that will make Wenden famous. We wish to thank Messrs. Pressler and Smith for a delightful ride, and Mfr Carr for his courteous conduct through the mine. We also wish to add, that if it be necessary, as a matter of business, we may again walk up and down an inclined shaft, but never while memory of the exquisite tortue with which we rose up and sat down, for several days after out latest trip, will we deliberately choose one for a promenade.

AS IF FROM THE GRAVE
Matters of Personal Interest During the Past Week. Visitors Attracted by the Spreading Fame of the Rich Mines Thereabout.

Wendendale, Feb. 27-(Special cor respondence of The Republlcan)-A Ghost dance was given Monday eve ming at the school house, and we can now vouch for the fact that ghosts do dance Indeed it would be hard to find a friskier flock of ghosts anywhere even in an old fashioned grave yard at the mystic hour of midnight. The fun began Monday evening with the robing process, when mothers sheets and pillow cases were draped, tied and pinned upon willing victims, in every con- ceivable manner, hideous, horrible, artistic, mysterious, according to the predominating thought in the mind of the drapee. Some wore horns tied with gay ribbons, and had the masks lsmeared with paint others, all in white with clinging draperies. like conventional ghosts, stalked gravely up and down. Practically every one in town, who dances, was represent ed by his own apparation. The wash out on the line did not keep any of the out of town guests from attend ing, but rather made it possible for some of the company to attend clothed in a manner suitable to the occasion.
 After you were robed, and had locked the family dog safely inside, that he might not trot serenely in behind you, and thus announce in glaring headlines, who you were; you slipped sneakingly along through the dark, by the lumber yard and the windmills, and soon the cold chills began running up and down your back, and you found that you were beginning to take the affair in earn est, and were getting afraid of your self Then if you had an escort you left him around in the back yard some where, while you slipped quiet ly into the house, trying meanwhile to act as much unlike yourself as possible, and succeeding very poorly, for some misguided creature, who isn't masked and is feeling all puffed up over his ability to tell everybody present, without regard to your feel ings, immediately sings out, "Oh, here comes Miss Blank" and as you have no redress you mentally consign him to the same Gehenna to be oc- cupied by the fellow that rocks the boat, and the one who didn't know the gun was loaded. But after all, we really enjoyed dancing with ghosts immensely.
 P. A Tharaldson of Phoenix came in Monday from Parker. He went out at once to the Fredericka group of claims, in Cunningham Pass which he owns in connection with E. w. Ballert of this place. The owners re- port a good showing on the property, and work is progressing.

 Mir and Mrs H. K Bunker came in Thursday from the Orc Cobra where MT. Bunker is resident man. to camp by Mrs J. w Boone and children. They are now working on the Anaconda claim at the Oro Cobra, where the vein, carrying both gold and copper is about five feet wide on the surface. A shaft is being sunk on the vein and is now down 100 feet, with the ore still holding out. The Orc Cobra is owned by Thos. Wilkinson of Burlington, Iowa.

THE MAKING OF A MINE

Work continues unabated on the properties of the Arizona-Bouse Cop per Company at Bouse. Since our last announcement the force of men at work has been increased and Fair banks Morse gasoline hoist has been purchasd and is now installed on the Little Butte shaft. This shaft is being sunk rapidly and drifting continues in both directions. The full face of the drifts and the bottom of the shaft are in ore so that no waste rock need be handled. The ore is being piled up on the dump and as it averages 10 to 13 per cent copper, and sS to $10 gold, it will yield a handsome return to the company in a short time. The cars already shipped have netted over s7O0. after paying the freight and shelter charges.
