PROGRESS IN
WOOD COUNTY
BY Hon. W. H. MyIrea, Secre-
tary of Wisconsin Advance
ment Assn.

The figures from the last United
partially available to ascertain it's
gre 18th. The population of Wood
County in 1900 was % ,865. In 1910
the population was 30,5S3, showing
a gain in population of 5,71S. The area
of Wood County is SIT, 100 acres.
Large portions of the county are
still unoccupied. The census, how
ever, gives some interesting figures.
The number of acres of land includ-
ed in farms in 1900 was 271 ,5S7. Ten
years later the farms included 283-
762 acres, or a gain of II, 1876 acres.
The gain in farm area is large in
proportion to til increase in popu-
lation, and especially since many
cities IN Wood County increased fast
er than the country districts, in the
last decade In 1900 the total farm
property values is given as $9,191-
75S. In 1910 the farm property in
| Wood County is valued at $14 $685.
S28. The difference between these
two sums is $5,4S3,0 This means
a total gain in farm property val
ues of 1876 per cent in ten years.
Stated in another way it means that
the value of farm property in Wood
County between 1900 and 1910 in
creased at the rate of 1876 per cent
per annum. The increase in value
of city property and manufacturing
plants in Wood County during the
same period is not yet available.
| We have every reason to believe
that it is even greater than the in
crease in farm property This will
show that Wood County is growing
in value faster than the average
| throughout the state. For instance
according to the census of 1900 the
average of all farms in Wood Coun.
ty was $14.4O per acre. In 1910 this
had risen to 1926 per acre.
The total value of all domestic an
imals on the farm in Wood County il
1910 was $1,524,315. The dairy in
terests of Wood County are rapidly
increasing in amount. Also the farm
property values are being added tc
very rapidly by the increasing am
cunts of land cleaded and made pro
ductive.
According to the recent bulletin
published by the State University II
.appears that the cheese industry OF
Wood County has gained nothing il
the last five years. On the Other
hand, in the production Of creamery
butter the gain is remarkable. In
the five years from 1905 to 1910 the
output jumped from 1,083,2S0 pounds
to the sum of 2,254,057 pounds, be
ing an increase of nearly 125 pei
cent in the five years.

Mines of the County

Eli Hilty, who has been at the Ruth mine and mill the past three weeks, came to Kingman a few days ago and was enthusiastic over the success of the property. He believes the Ruth to be one of the great properties in the San Francisco district.
 JIG. Potts, son Clifford, and Howard Smith, who have been over at the At lantic and Pacific mines, near Thumb Butte, returned home yesterday morn- ing. While there the mines were ex- amined by an engineer for the purpose of representing the property to a large mining corporation.
 Clack Brothers are making a ship ment of several tons of ore from the new strike on the Rico mine, which they expect will run more than four ounces gold and about as much more in silver. The shipment Is being made as a test of all the ore recently taken from the new shaft. They pro- pose to run long drift on the veIn to get several hundred feet below the bottom of the shaft.
 Articles of incorporation of the Pa cifc Investments Company, owning and operating the mines recently talk en over from J. P. Finn and Robert Ferguson, at Cerbat, were filed in the Recorders office this week. This con- pany is under the management oi Julian P. Jones, who has been opening the property up in good shape. Ma chinery is being placed on the mine and It is the intention of the company to sink to depth far below the pres ent level.
 J. H. Hoffman returned yesterday from Los Angeles, where he made ar engagements for the purchase of a two hundred ton milling plant for the Ari- zona Southwestern Copper company. He reports that owing to trade con- ditions he has been able to add materially to the capacity of the plant and that when it is erected it will be one of the most up-tO-date plants in the country. The plant will probably be ready for shipment to the mines as soon as the road is completed over the mountain. He left last night for his home in Pueblo.

Tom Reed Pays Dividend.

This week the Tom Reed Gold Mines company paid another dividend to it's stockholders, dispursing about 4O,OOOS in a four per cent dividend. This is the largest dispursement since the company was incorporated and shows the big earning capacity of the mine. It has enough ore in sight to pay a dividend of four per cent per month for more than a year and the new ore that is being opened on the $50 level indicates that the property will become one of the largest dividend payers in the territory. It is said that the ore now being opened on that level is larger and better than anything here tofore opened in the property.
