ssvsrest Tests Ar Made to Determine
luality-Minnesota Founder Visits
Farm and places Ordsr-Sand Layer,
Three and One Halt Feet Deep,
Spreads Over Acres.

Fort Dodge. April 11.-More evidence
Of the hidden riches of Webster county
has been uncovered recently by Clar-
ence and Roy Loomer on their farm
two miles north Of Fort Dodge. They
are assured there is a bed of the most
desirable kind Of molders' sand under
lying their farm. and for all that Is
known, under much more of the farm
land Of that section.
A sand pit was uncovered on their
eighty acre farm which is about one
half mile east Of the Des Moines river.
for the purpose of taking out sand for
building purposes 1t was found to be
exceedingly fine and clean, the color and
almost the fineness of yellow clay. 1t
was found to mix we'll with cement.
Later the young men undertook to haul
some coarse sand from near the same
spot to one of the local foundries and
some Of this fine sand was put with 1t.
The foundry man was quick to see the
fine sand, and asked how much more
there was. He said it was the finest
kind Of moldsrs sand. used by foun-
dries for pouring molten metal into
when castings are made. The sand for
this purpose has always been brought
from Des Moines at cost Of three dol
lars per ton t. o. b. Des Moines.
Several loads of the sand were taken
to the foundry and the sand has been
put to the hardest kind Of tests known
and the result is proved to be all right.
On Saturday foundry man from Fair
mont. Mimi came to Fort Dodge
to look at the sand and after inspecting
1t ordered three car loads shipped to his
place. The Ioomer brothers are salts
fed that they should go after the trade
on this sand and they are now planning
to get the sand onto the cars in the
cheapest possible way
The layer Of sand is three and one
half feet thick. 1t lies three feet below
the surface. It is known to be spread
over good many acres. 1t is computed
there are five thousand tons Of this
sand to the acre. At three dollars ton
that land. which IS not worth more than
one hundred and nifty dollars an acre
for farming purposes. is worth fifteen
thousand dollars an acre for It's sand.
