Dick Richards, who has large holdings on
Cache creek has this spring been doing much
preparatory work for summer operations. On
about a thousand feet of bedrock he early this
week cleaned over $1,000. Mr.. Richards has a
5o-horsepower fog-maker and 600 cords of wood
on hand, and is now in splendid shape for work
ing all summer
Barney Haggerty, who, it is claimed has the
best pay thus far found on Cache, creek, is To-
Gated at the mouth of Harter creek, where he is
working with small boiler. He has RUIZ tun-
mel 40 feet in one direction, SO feet in another,

with short water, and washed out 22O ounces.

Baker, Winde dc Co., on the Dakota associa-
ton, Sullivan creek, made another cleanup Tues
day evening last which amounted to 181 ounces
Not any more dirt went through the sluice-boxes
for this (the second) cleanup than there was for
the first, which went l543 ounces and the cond-
ton of the waterservice was less satisfactory to
the laymen, and the actual sluicing time was also
considerably less. Nearly all the disappointment
felt by many at the result of their first cleanup
has been dispelled by the showing made at the
second, and the opinion is freely expressed among
miners that the dump will go better than $40, 900
some believing it will go higher than $50, 900.

Later-It has since been learned
that Kremer's shortage will amount
to $4,000, instead of $4,000.

of the downfall of A. A. Kremer,
county treasurer of Itasca county,
who is we'll known to several of the
older residents of Bemidji and to
many of the people living northeast
of Bemidji, in northwestern Itasca
county:
A. A. Kremer, county treasurer
of Itasca county, was ordered sus-
pended late yesterday by Gov. A.
0. Eberhart. He confessed to the
ENLIGHTENMENT of county funds. He
made confession to M. F. Kahn,
deputy from the public examiners
department, who has taken charge
of the office and caused the arrest of
the treasurer.
Information had reached Attor-
ney General Simpson of shortages
in the treasury of Itasca county, and
last Saturday he took up the matter
with Anton Schafer, public examiner,
who sent Mr.. Kahn to Grand Rapids
to make an examination. Yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Simpson received the
following telegram:
