Governor Shafroth has announced
himself as a candidate for reelection,
subject to the will of the Democratic
state convention. The governor has
also openly declared that under M
circumstances will he run on an in
dependent ticket should he not re-
ceive the Democratic nomination.
This declaration from the governor
has undoubtedly strengthened him
with the party and has made him
friends. It shows that If he does not
succeed in getting the nomination he
will not play the part of a sore-head

cripple the party that has honored

tions? Then these new people take
up the work where the others left
virtually left intact and can be min
ed by whosoever cares to make the
venture. 1t is ineXplcable to even the
experienced miner. There are SO
many of these instances in this Sec
ton. OF course one reason for this
condition may not fit as an eXplana-
ton of all the others. But is Is
noticeable ccincident that these old
time mines have something to offer
the new operators; They are general
ly well-developed and the extraction
of ore begun as soon as things are
in order. The large amounts of wat
er and the generally rundown condi-
ton of the property has no dampner
upon the new operators. They are
willing to go to considerable expense
and pay fair royalty besides for
the privilege of working a property
that has had good record of produc-
tion in the past.
How can they hope to realize on
their venture knowing that the last
or original owners gave it up-but
why? Are these lessees or new own
ers wiser than their pre- 1ecessors?
This particular mine is further spok-
en- of in the following terms: "The
ore is of a smelling variety and it
is understood that the principal reas-
from their product was because they
shipped most of the ore to the mills" ("
Having the ore and knowing it's as.

hoped from the mill treatment. They
seemed to have stopped right there.

full treatment of the ore. 1t is true
the mill process was the cheaper and
more simple and expected to return
greater values, but did not because
there was too much loss; hence the
property shut down. On its face it
sounds absurd. Why did not the com
pany go a step further and prove a
proper treatment of the ores2 Query.
Well, it is left for the new, posses.
sors to prove they have a good thing.
Knowing what they do, and that
means they have a sure thing in so
far as orein-sight is concerned, they
should not fail if everything practi-
/, cal is carried out to get the values
from the rock.
AS said there are any number of
just such propositions in this section
and they certainly offer great attrac-
ton to investors. 1t is likely that
this fall and winter will show con-
siderable activity by the taking over
of mines in the position of the one
described.

THE VALUE OF
ADJACENT PROPERTY.

1t is not often that a property, be-
cause it is an extension or adjoins
a big producer, is also likely to prove
as good or better than the heavy and
rich producer. Still, it also could turn
out better than the mine with a rec
ord. Similar character sites prove
nothing in mining. An extension of
a bonanza property had ore exactly
like the rich ore taken from the
phenomenal mine. But in looks only
was it like the high-grade stuff of
the bonanza. OF course contiguous
mine of good record helps some in
disposing of the less productive
property. 1t has no discernable value
because of its proximity. A vein trace
able from one to the other might
make big difference.
A number of properties have resum-
ed operation due to fabulously rich
ore taken from a property IN this
section. Had not the mine in ques-
operations would not in all likelihood
have been undertaken. The rich
strike has a powerful influence in
the section in which it has been
to chronicle new strike. The whole
district generally becomes active with
the result that business of all kinds
Is stimulated thereby.
nro Of In
is proving acceptable to its lessees
and bids fair to rank, as a producer
equal to the adjoining property with
its high-grade product. In district
like this, the chances of gaining re-
suits from a property close to an
other with big record, is far better
than in many another mining section.
There are reasons fer this. There is
SO much workable ground the miner
merely wants indications sufficient
to impell him to go ahead. His judg-
ment is pretty sound when he selects
the ground adjacent to a producer. If
the property has any indications at
all so much the better. If 1t has
nothing back of it save the prox.-
nifty great chances are taken. In
fatuated with mining the man unable
to get into the record mine at reas-
enable figure will not often hesitate
to take the adjoining property after
figuring it all out in his mind as to
the possible outcome. A number of
things may induce him to take the
least promising of properties just be-
cause it is near a heavy producer.
The successful are not Of record, but
there must be many at least in this
district.
There is good-looking porphyry

appearance to the porphyry of Lead

odd system. No carbonates were even
found there but n huge body of man

zite carrying an out cropping that
might be followed. Assessment work
was done on all of these for years
and number of the claims were pat.
ented. One big rich strike would
have. it was thought. made the whole
deposit of porphyry valuable. But no
big strike was ever made.
What may be good in one district
will not hold good in another. Be
cause mine Is in bonanza shape
does not prove adjacent ground is
also good. The question is up to the
miner, he alone can decide.

Mr.. Reade has leased the new ho-
tel which Is to be built at Devils
Lake this year, and while at st. Paul
he gained a few new ideas in hotel
making which he will have worked
ont in the new hotel in this city. To
this end he has persuaded the builders
to make several changes in the plans.
Asked as TO the new Devils Lake
hotel Mr.. Reade says: There is not
a common brick to be had in the
state today, but the kilns are getting
ready to fire up, and there will be
something doing in short time. The
heavy timbers which were ordered

Prepare for dry summer" said
President Worst OF the Al. G. today.
This does not indicate.by any means.
that the summer win be dry or, at
least, any dryer than ordinary sum-
mers, yet dry seasons do not occur In
every agricultural section, and are
quite likely to occur here, at intervals.
This may prove to be one OF those
seasons.
THE way to prepare for dry sea-
son Is to give the ground very thor
ough cultivation. Disc and drag until
very good, fine seed-bed is formed
and then drag some more. If the sea-
son should be of the ordinary sort, all
this will pay big returns at any rate
for the extra cultivation. Should 1T
prove to be a very dry season, this ex-
ira cultivation viii undoubtedly re-
present the difference between fair
crop and a partial or total failure.
"As 1T pays to treat wheat for smut
every year, it also will pay the farmers
to prepare for dry season every year.

ature or the rainfall, but he can 20 a
long way toward conserving the mois-
ture that does fall Again, the cuIti-
walton necessary to conserve the mois-

Narrowing is the best substitute
for irrigation. 1t may be necessary to
