SULPHUR SHOULD
MAKE LARGE CITY

The Silver State says: The Good
News Mining company, near Sui
phur, will ship via the Western Pa
cific in a few days a number of
sacks of their highgrade hornsilver
ore. Some of this ore carries values
exceeding $4,000 per ton. C. H.
Reich, the general manager, writes
the Silver State that they are now
working in rich vein of the white
metal A large number of leasers
are now at work at the mines. AS
this mine and the famous Duran
go Girl, which adjoins, are only
, about two miles from the town of
Sulphur, the will contribute not lit
tie to the population and business
of the place. Also adjoining is the
extensive works of the Nevada Sui
phur company, employing score
of men and taking out and refining
northeast are the Jackson noun
tains, with their numerous gold,
silver and copper mines Seven
miles to The southwest is the Rose
bud district and near by on the
east is Saw Tooth.
Aside from its chief attraction
oii-the town of Sulphur has a
splendid prospect for building up a
prosperous city. 1t is also just the
right distance from another large
town (Winnemucca) to make stores
and other business lines profitable
The c. o. D. company, the oper-
ations of which were interrupted
temporarily by break down in
their machinery, has started to work
again sinking their well.
Every train adds to the popula-
ton. Tents dot the land thickly
which will soon be followed by more
substantial structures. The people
of Sulphur seem singularly free
from the "Knocker" element, which
will always insure success to any
community
| The irregular train service and
inadequate facilities for coming and
going iG the greatest handicap at
present, but this will soon be cured
| by the railway officials, now that the
weather is favorable for road bal
lasting and other betterments.
Our want ads" bring results.

SHIPMENT OF
ORE WAS SHORT Of
EXPECTATIONS
AMOUNTED ONLY TO
$1,2j3.1O.

A statement was presented to
the district court yesterday showing
the values received from the twen-
ty-one tons of ore, recently released
from attachment by an ordereof the
court 1t will be remembered that
the Gre reposed in the vaults of a
local bank for some time, injunc-
ton proceedings having been start
ed against the Manhattan Dexter
Mining company by the Manhattan
Ore and Reduction company. AT
that time the ore was believed to
run up in the thousands per ton.
But yesterday the rude awakening
came, when the report stated that
the ore had returned a total sum
of S1,253.10. or an average value
of S62.02 to the ton.
In order to mill the ore the DeX-
ter company was required to put up
bond of $500, but it is now un-
derstood that this bond will be
reduced to a sum corresponding to
the returns.

REVELATION.

bers of Tonopah lodge 1862, Bene-
violent and Protective Order of
Elks, entertained at the Miners En-
change hall last night at their
third annual ball. That the affair
was one of the most successful ever
attempted in this city was mani
tested by the large crowd in evil
dence. To describe the dance with
out paying at least brief tribute
to the beautiful gowns as worn by
the ladies, would be considered
slight, but what is enc going to do.
when ones knowledge of feminine
finery is limited. 1t may be truth
fully said that the handsome gowns
would have done credit to swell

cities, but that is not sufficient to
do the ladies credit The creations

quite court favorite of late, new
er had the pleasure of witnessing
such creatins in lingerie. as were
beheld at this affair.
Th interior of the hall proved a
revelation to those who had not in
dulced in the pleasure of witness
ing Captain Wise at work. The
walls were hid with artistically
placed strands of white crepe, while
in between We're placed thousands
of cut roses. 1t was a novel effect
and pleasing to the extreme
Lengthy garlands were strung and
draped from the ceiling. while
throughout the length of the hall
were the incandescent globes. the
only illuminations. The music
stand was draped with a fish net
and the profusiOn of roses nearly
hid the musicians from view. The
exquisite music seemed to ema-
nate from nowhere in particu-
lar, and Professors Tatro and Ish
were continually complimented for
their efforts.
At each end of the hail. the
walls were completely hidden by
potted palms and huge canvass
drops AT the north end there was
a vision of Halley's comet soaring
through the heavens. The comet
was known as Jones aerolite. A
huge clock, with the hands pointing
to II, stood at one side, and when
that magic hour arrived, with dim
med lights, the customary toast to
the absent brothers was given. Then
joining hands the Elks sang AUD
Lang Syne.' The chimes. slowly
sounding the revered hour, caused
deep hush over the assmblage,
and the services made quite an i'm
preston.
Punch was served on the balcony
which had been transformed into
a flower garden. Numerous plants
were scattered about and at one
end fountain was in operation.
The grand march was led by Past
Exalted Ruler George B. Thatcher
and Mrs. Thatcher, with fully 200
couples in line. This was shortly
after . O'Clock and the crowd had
hardly commenced to arrive. Three
auto loads containing Goldfeld Elks
and their ladies journeyed to this
city and aided TO make the evening
a merry one.
Shortly after ~ o'clock the dane

holiday cards bearing tinsel
and sent without cover will be
sent to the dead letter office.
Such are the rules given out
by the postoffice department at
Washington. The rules in the
postmasters' guides pertaining e
to this nuisance will be rigidly
enforced this year. All fancy
tinsel Christmas cards should
be properly sent in an envelope
and properly sealed to prevent
any of the tinsel particles rub
bing off. The sa me should be
sent first class.
The department will be too
busy with the heavy holiday
mail to take extraordinary pre-
caution about the careful hand
ling of tinseled cards, which
have long been regarded as a
nuisance by postal clerks.

DrlIIers Making Good headway.

Westhope Standards 7 h e
drillers at the deep gas we'll
have had so much trouble this
fall with the formation caving
in on them at a depth of 1900
feet, that last week they filled
up the bottom of the hole to
the depth of $50 feet with
cement. This was let harden
over Sunday and Monday start
ed drilling it out. 1t is hoped
that the cement at the place
where the cave-in bothered
them, will hold back the earth
and enable them to get their
casing down. They have been
doing some hard work and not
making any headway for the
past month. AS soon as they
would get the hole cleaned out,
the earth would cave in again,
and it was impossible to drive
the casing down to stop this.
Now they think they have it
fixed.

1.-THE MAKING OF 4 TOWN.
Or. Frank |. Movey, President Of the
State University, Lectures.

Frank L. McVey, president
of the University of North
Dakota, was in Bottineau
Wednesday evening an d
delivered an address in the
School of Forestry chapel on
The Making of Town.
Mr.. McVey is an excellent
speaker and he has some sensi-
BILE ideas pertaining to town
building and town govern
rnent. He traced the origin of
the town, gave reasons for it's
location and development and
and then took up the problems
which confront the people of
every community today, dis
cussing his subject from the
moral, sanitary, financial and
standpoints.
He admonished the people of
the community to get to-
gether' and not permit fac
tional strife to retard it's
growth and urged them to do
everything which would make
the town a better and pleasant
er place in which to live.
The trouble with most
North Dakota towns" said he
is that too many of the citizens
do not come there with the idea
of remaining permanently and
hence take no interest in the
up-building or beautifying Of
the place." He urged his
hearers to plant trees, sayin e
that a few trees in the average
town would do more than any
one thing to. make it a desir-
able place of residence.
Mr.. McVey is a forceful and
practical speaker, a man of
fine academic training and of
practical experience in the
affairs of the world. He should
have had five times as m any
hearers and everyone of them
would have been benefited by
his remarks.
