VISION OF GOLD:
DISCOVERS Mine
Is DREAMER SUPFRhUMAN
w. H. kRUSE POINTS TO OZARK
HILLS WHERE THE YELLOW
METAL GLISTENS.

Rogers, July 3.-On top of ia,
Ozark mountains, not many miles
from here, there is a diamond shaped
excavation, each side 125 feet long.
from which gold is being taken day bv
day as result of a vision that came
to William H. Kruse, former whole
sole and retail fruit dealer and mem
Der of the board of trade of Mime
apolis.
Beside this excavation there is q
crude smelter, where ore is baked and
from which gold flows freely. This
mine is not mere venture, but re-
allty that promises to make its dis
coverer and his associates rich. There
is no stock for sale and only those
now aiding Kruse will reap the bene-
| fits.
This gold mine, the only one in ar
kansas, is on little farm, the prep
erty of kruse's father, and is in a geo
logical formation to which gold has
been thought foreign. Expert metal
lurgsts, who assayed the ore, are un-
able to account of the phenomenon
The vision that pointed out to KrLse
the location of this gold mine is but
one of many that have been profitable
to him and his friends. In fact, kruse
declares, all his actions in the last de-
cade have been guided by his visions.
kruse believes religiously in them.
And he has followers that believe ne
is endowed with supernatural powers.
So strongly are they impressed that
on day set apart by Kruse sthe one
upon which he should discover gold,
scores of residents of this little town,
headed by band, marched to the lit
tie farm southwest of Rogers.
A monday meal was served to them
by kruse, and at o'clock all pitched
in and helped work the mine. This
was a part of the festivities. By 5
O'Clock five piles of ore had been AIKEN
out, the first being reached at a depth
of seven feet. This was shipped to
st. Louis and assayed
Kruse AYERS that his power CT
prophecy comes to him as a sort of
sixth sense.
In 1900, while the Letter wheat cor
ner was on in Chicago, Kruse was a
broker in Minneapolis and wrote the
market quotations on the blackboal d
in his office. One day he noticed that
he wrote figures not authorized by the
wire and was astonshed when a few
minutes later those figures came to
him by the telegraph.
Kruse told his brother-in-law, JOS
sph l., Huber, to get 80 small states
and on them write the figures dictated
by him. Huber wrote as directed, and
Kruse forecasted the Chicago wheat
market for one month in advance.
Subsequent developments verified al
his predictions, even to the scenes of
riot and disorder in the Chicago wheat
pit that marked the breaking up of the
LclltI COIileT.
At one time Kruse says firm of
Minneapolis millers offered him $50
600 for the use of his visions in re-
gard to the wheat market. He declin-
ed the offer. At another time Kruse
said that he was told that he would
make 81 400 in three days on capi-
tai of 81. He took dollar and invest
ed it in wheat. The first day he clear
ed SO. He invested the second day
and made 800. Again he bought wheat
and made 81 400 Then he stopped
and lived on this money until it was
gone.
Kruse says that it is impossible for
him to disobey one of his warnings,
even though his personal business be
neglected Twice he made trips to
other cities, but for what reason he
does not know.
Now kruse transcribes his visions
in the form of letter, of which four
carbon copies are made. They are re-
garded as almost sacred in his famly
In the last eleven years Kruse has
written hundreds of these letters, and
according to the check marks on those
kept by his father, nearly every one
of them has come true.
