WHY NOT OWN LANDe'

ONE OF the Rest Ways to Make
Canada.
deep down in the nature or every
properly constituted man is the desire
to own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses q well-known truth. The ques-
ton Is, Where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices? and this the
same writer points out in the same
article. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has a personal interest in
the statement of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting greater
possibilities than any other part of the
American Continent to the man who
is inclined to till the soil for lfvell-
hood and possible competence. What
interests one are the arguments adj
vanced by this writer, and when fair
ly analysed the conclusion is reached
that no matter what personal interest
the writer may have had his reasons
appear to have the quality Of great
soundness. The climatic conditions of
Western Canada are fully as good as
those of Minnesota, the Dakotas OF
Iowa, the productiveness Of the soil is
as great, the social conditions are on
a parity, the laws are as well estab-
lished and as carefully observed. In
addition to these the price Of land is
much less, easier to secure. So, with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada-be en-
braced? The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States,
appear to be-are satisfied. Once in
a while complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have never spoken of the
country as an Eldorado, NO matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand a
few letters, written by former residents
of the United States, from which one
or two extracts are submitted. These
go to prove that the writer in the Reg
lister has good basis Of fact in sup
port Of his statements regarding the
excellency Of the grain growing area
Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alder
ia. On the 29th of April of this year
w. r. Conley, of Lougheed, Alberta,
wrote to a friend in Detroit He says !:
''The weather has been just fine ever
since came here in March, and I be-
lieve one could find, if he wanted to,
some small punches Of snow around the
edge Of the lake. There Is a frost
nearly every morning; at sunrise it be-
gins to fade away, then those blue
flowers open and look as fresh as If
there had been no frost for a week.
There is no reason why this
country should not become a garden
of Eden; the wealth is in the ground
and only needs little encouragement
from the government to induce capital
in here. There is everything here to
build with-good clay for brick, coal
underneath, plenty Of water in the
spring lakes, and good springs coming
out Of the banks"

Near the town of Jasper a settler has
la farm which probably is unlike any 9th
er in the world This farm occupies the
tableland on the summit of a ridge and
is inclosed with fence which no animal
has ever broken through. 1t does not
rise above the surface of the farm, but
falls sheer from the edge a distance Of
many feet. The man who homesteaded
the tableland had a hard climb up the
face of the cliff to reach the comparative
Iy level summit. By blasting and drilling
the discoverer made a path by which
stock could be brought up, and now has
horses, cattle and hogs in his fertile lit
tie kingdom, but no wheeled vehicle has
ever been taken there.-Kansas City

Lehr's Scheme Opposed.

The announcement of Senator J.
Elmer Lehr of Appleton yesterday that
he will propose an amendment to the
public utilities law, which will allow the
creation of municipal commissions, from
a decision of which there will be an ap-
peal to the state railroad commission,
has created nothing but amusement here.
Speaker Ekern will not discuss the
scheme and every one of the Republican
members of the Legislature here point
out the fact that in effct this was the
same as the Democratic idea of regula-
ton, that was defeated in the Legisla-
ture by decisive vote two years ago.

His Deficiency.

A certain Chicago merchant died, leav-

extensive business, and great doubt was
expressed in some quarters whether the
young man possessed the ability to carry
out the fathers policies.

The double compartment shaft of
the MacNamara company was sent
down tw%enty-eight feet during the
week, keeping the average of four
feet a day that has been made since
the work of sinking commenced. The
shaft is now down 66S feet below the
surface, or 16S feet below the 300
foot level, where the work Of sink
ing was started. The formation at
the bottom remains the same. The
shipments for the week aggregated
five cars or 275 tons of high grade
that was shipped to the Western Ore
Purchasing company at Millers.
No change is reported on the 200,
275 and 300-foot levels where the
shipping ore is extracted. A large
amount of development work on
these levels continues and the ore is
being blocked out in several places.
The Slopes on these levels are looking
about the same and remain practical.

and value of the lodges.

been completed and work is now be-
ing done on the foundation for the
hoist. AS soon as this is completed
the hoist which is now on the ground
will be installed. The collar of the
shaft is being repaired and at the
earliest possible date the shaft will
be inspected preparatory to the sink
ing Of a churn drill to the 1000 foot
level.

the Occidental vein is showing up
stronger and has fully two feet Of
good milling ore in the face. The
raise that was sent up on the South
vein to connect with the 800 level has
made the connection, which greatly
increases the ventilation in this part
of the mine. Raise Ne. 3 from the
1909 west drift shows about eighteen
inches of good milling ore. The
main stope from this drift to the west
shows no material change. The in.
t%ermediate drift No. 2 from Wine

milling ore exposed in the face. TIL,

MIDWAY.

The closing of the Midway We'd
nesday for the purpose of repairing
the boilers, has somewhat retarded
the work during the week. The reg
ular shipments were kept up until
that date. On the 600-foot level the
prospecting work continued with no
change. The small stringers that
have been encountered ever since this
crosscut was sent out, continue to
appear, but they will not be follow
ed up until some later date. The
main object of sending this work
ahead is to look for a large ore body
that is thought to exist in this region.

S END.

The most important feature of the
weeks happenings of the West End
company is the announcement coming
from the secretary of the company
that a mill will be built either in
connection with the one to be erected
by the Extension or individually.
This statement was made by Dennis
Searles, the secretary, who spent sew
eral days here the past week, during
which time he made a thorough in
v~estigation of the mine.
He stated that the directors had
decided on the construction of a mill
as a more economical way of treating
the ores and the huge amount of ore
that has been blocked out and is in
sight justifies this action.
The weeks shipments to the West
ern Ore Purchasing company amount
ed to 1870 tons. The condition OF the
mine shows no change, and owing to
the absence of Superintendent Fred
Corkill. who spent several days in
San Francisco and only returned yes
terday, the regular weekly report was
not made up. However, Mr.. Corkill
stated last night that the usual
amount of prospecting and develop
ment work was being continued and
that the ore bearing lodges were
maintaining their usual strength.
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1909-03-27

The prospecting and development
work continues in the Extension with
no material change. This line 0:
work is still confined to the 400 anc
770-foot levels. The usual progress
is reported in the raise sent up from
the west drift of the main crosscut on
the 770-foot level to connect with the
winze sent down from the 600-foot
level. The principal object in making
this connection is to secure better
ventilation for the lower level. Nc
chaAge of note is reported on the 400
foot level where development worl
is under way.

EXHIBIT GOLD
FROM players
OF
SAY THAT THE WONDERS OF
THE PLACER CAMP HAVE
. NEVER BEEN TOLD.

j. H. Harrell, F. w. NOVEL; and
Reuben Gentry came in from Man
last evening where they have
been inspecting the placer workings.
Mr.. Harrell and Mr.. Novel;, presi-
dent and secretary of the Goldfeld
and Bald Mountain Consolidated
Mines company, respectively, have
secured two choice locations in the
placer district and are now making
preparations to commence work on a
large scale. The object of their visit
here is to secure a complete hosting
plant which they win install on their
property.
All three members of the party
were enthusiastic over the POSSIBLE
tiles of the camp and will return
there at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
'It is going to be one of the larg-
est propositions in Nevada said
Mr.. Harrell," and as soon as the
weather moderates you will hear Of
clean-ups being made that will fair
~ be startling. Yesterday l watched
Dry Wash Wilson make a 30-min.
ute run and he cleaned up something
over 5000. That is the way it will
be all the way down the channel
which extends for nine miles.
"Our company yesterday purchas
ed two full claims from Auxier, thu
original discoverer of the placers a
Central. 1t was on n of thest
claims that the discovery was made
while Mr.. Auxier was sinking a we'll
|, We also have another claim situated
about three miles below Central. Oh
| this claim there are two shafts dow
: about ninety feet to bedrock, but W,
have suspended operations on ac
| count of the water. Pumps will b
installed before the work is resum
: ed. On the Auxier property we hav
a shaft down fifty feet and hav
e made a conservative estimate OF tn
gold that is in sight, which we plac
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Manhattan will be the center c
. all attractions within the next 81
: weeks for by that time the sno'
. should be gone and the leases a b
? operated to their full capacity"
q The gentlemen had about a poun
q of gold with them which they ha
Q secured just by panning. One mus
! get they exhibited is estimated

Il picked from the dump.
o Mr.. Harrell leaves this morniI
= for Goldfeld, but will return Mo,
day and then continue on to Il
a great placer camp. Mr.. NOVEL; wi
go to Los Angeles and after a fe
n days there looking after busine
