sixth normal school, provided such
school is provided at this session of
the legislature. Hinton and Cart
side are taking Senator Works into
their planning because of the fact
that Senator Works (wbo is named
as member of the junket COM
mittee) is well informed as to
routes, general lay of the country,
etc. It DOW looks as though the
committee (if the trip is taken) will
be in Bemidji on Saturday, at which
time the farmers who make their
weekly trips to the city on that day,
may tell of their tilling the soil on
cut-over lands which are considered
by many southern Minnesota resi-
dents as being absolutely unfit for
agricultural purposes. Word will be
sent to Bemidji Immediately the
itinerary is agreed upon, so that
preparations can be made to extend
hearty welcome to the visiting
solons.
Representatives Opsahl and Nc
Garry, who are both members of the
house normal school committee got
chummy," so TO speak, and joined
| the committee in a visit to the state
normal school at Mankato, Saturday.
Mr.. Opsahl spoke briefly at meet
ing held at Mankato, in which he
prayed that the legislature would
give school to some good town in
northern Minnesota larger and
better school than the one at Man
kato, as BELTS the north country,
which is an empire that is developing
so fast that it will soon distance the
southern part in Importance, but
which is ever extending the glad
hand" of fellowship to its southern
members.
Representative Opsahl has intro
duced bill in the house which
changes somewhat the duties. of the
surveyor general in scaling timber
cut from state lands. Under this
new bill the change is made from
straight and sound timber to mer-
charitable timber" The main pro.
vision of the bill is as follows:
The surveyor general of each
district shall scale all timber cut on
any of the state lands in charge of
the auditor. All such scaling shall
be done upon the land from which
the timber was cut, and all the
pieces scaled shall be numbered
consecutively, and the number of
each entered upon the minutes of
the scaler. In the making of such
scale such allowance shall be made
for defects therein as will make the

The Worlds
Largest Stack

The Boston ana Montana Mining
company is erecting, at its Great

what will be the worlds largest stack
upon its completion. Its total height
will be SOC feet; diameter at the top,
fifty feet; diameter at base, seventy
eight feet six inches; concrete foun-
dation, twenty-five feet deep, 10S
feet in diameter; weight $4,000, 600
pounds; inside volume. 100000

Chimney Construction company is in
charge OF the work, using its perfor-
ated radial chimney block in the
stack construction. II has been fig
ured that the total weight of the fin
ished work will be 34,S00,000
pounds.
The stack will create a natural
draught that will save the company
a large fuel and power bill, and
fortune more will be saved in fluC

Fresno Mining
District Named

H. J.. Wildegrube came in yester-
day from the district around Georges
canyon, forty miles northeast OF this
city. This is the scene of the latest
strike made by Stimler and Marsh,
and the prospects OF the new camp
are more than bright.
THE cold weather has hampered
the work of developing the claims to
a certain extent" stated Mr.. Wilde
CRUDE last evening, but the show
ings made before the fall of snow,
are more than favorable. At the
present there is several feet of snow
which retards the work, but in the
spring the entire district will be the
scene of a great rush.
Several days ago there was a
meeting of the people and they or
gained the district, which will be
known as the Fresno mining district.
The Marsh and Stimler property has
an excellent showing. There are sew
eral seams on the surface Of their
property which average in width
from two to eighteen inches, and all
of them will assay in the vicinity of
5000 to the ton. They are now
working on a dyke from which they
receive values of $40 and over. They
will start sinking in the tunnel in a
few days.
"On the property that ! am inter-
ested in there is a ledge that can be
traced for over 5000 feet, and which
averages from ten to thirty feet in
; width. The values at the surface
are of a low grade, but | have run
/, a tunnel beneath the ledge and cut
il at a depth. Here the assays re
, ceived show that the values are in
creasing. The returns received from
the surface averaged between IS Il
$40 per ton. The tunnel is in thu
! ledge for six feet with no wall Il
sight.
! Murphy's property is also lookini
good and he has done c%onsiderabl
g development work opening up tn
ground.

Are Mining Rich Ore
Near Camp Of Austin

AUSTIN New, Feb. 10-Harvey
Harris and associates who are oper-
ating a lease on the Jack Pot claim,
have made a strike that means much
to the camp of Austin. After run
ming a tunnel some 200 feet they
have cut a ledge that will average
between SIS and 800 to the ton at
the lowest estimate. This ledge is
two feet wide and is a assure that
has the name with experts of being
one of the few assures in the coun-
try that possesses all the especial
qualities required by the books for
fissure veins.

make Harvey Harris and his ascot
ates rich, but 1t Will make a hall

vein runs through the property of
the Austin Gold Mining company
and the Harris strike is a guarantee
that the Austin Gold Mining company
has thousands of tons of rock that
will yield a great profit when work
is commenced in earnest.
The Jack Pot leasers are now
sacking ore. They will be able in a
few days to take out enough ore TO
pay all the outlay up to date. 1t is
the work of such men as are leasing
on the Jack Pot that is renewing the
prosperity of Austin. Every man who
is idle should get busy on a lease.
The Jack Pot vein is evidence thai
there is a great cross ledge system il
Austin that will yield as much as the
main high grade lodes of the past.
