RICH STRIKE I'm
LEMHI COUNTY
Commodore Properly TO Send Ger
of Rich Ore to Lake
Soon fer Treatmdnt

Leo Kinney of the Commodore mining
company made flying trip to town and
return Saturday A part OF the small
force working OH the property Is breaking
ore from an open cut west Of the shaft
whence the richest silver ore known to
the county is being taken right from the
grass roots, about 25 tons now being in
evidence on the dump awaiting shipment
which will be made to Salt Lake as soon
as the balance of car load which will
comprise the maiden shipment, in guam
tity from the mine shall have been broken
down and got in readiness for the market.
This ore is phenomenal in silver values,
and the width Of the streak from which it
is borken, varies all the way from five to
twelve inches. Through grab samples
taken fairly from the entire output, it is
estimated by the Commodore people, that
20 per cent of it win easily pound up 1900
ounces per ton in the white metal, the
remaining 30 per cent being good for all
the way from 800 to 500 ounces. The
ores from highest to lowest grade are
said to average 121S per cent in lead.
In conjunction with ore breaking, the
old shaft of about 60 feet depth, is too
crooked to be servicable, is beingstraight-
ened and made secure, prepatory to
running drift and stope directly under
the ore found on surface and which has
been encountered in the shaft at some 80
or 40 feet from the collar of that working.
Alse drifting and striking will be in order
from the bottom of the shaft at its present
status.
In the opening up of new properties
mistakes are sometimes made in sorting
rich mineral by reason of changed condi-
tions in the makeup and general appear
ance, frequently being thrown over the
waste dump. A case to the point recently
occurred at the Commodore, a quantity of
quartz resembling iron oxide, that had
gone over the dump, upon being assayed,
returned 500 ounces silver and l215 per
cent lead. The stuff is classified as Stein
burg silver sulphide, carrying silver
chlorides, lead, iron, etc. 1t is expected
that the forthcoming shipment, which
will be made by early June, will place the
company in excellent condition for future
operations, and if everything pans out as
favorably as is anticipated, hoist of
either steam or gasoline will be put in
place, which will greatly expedite mining
operations all round.
The Commodore folks have the assur-
ance from the G. & P. people that the
railroad company viii put in siding at
Cottom's lane, which is the nearest
point from the mine to the railroad, at an
early date, the distance represented being
about three miles, as against the old
route of four and one-half miles.

! or pains Will be spared to make the
show the best in the history of the
society.
Will Be the Jubilee.
Next month the society will cele.
brate the jubilee year of its ex.
istence. The society has been or.
ganized half century and has held
fairs every year during that long
period. There is one man in Garden
City who has attended every fair.
He is George w. Goodall, the village
blacksmith. Mr.. Goodall has some
very interesting stories to tell of the
fairs that were held in the early
days when the society was young
and there were not as many people
in Blue Earth county as there are
now. Several times attempts were
made to take the fair away from
Garden City, but each time the resi-
dents of that village were on guard
at the annual meetings of the So
ciety to prevent its removal. These
contests were exciting and many a
well-laid plan of the ''conspirators
was frustrated by the "old guard"
many of whom have crossed the
dark river"
Plans for the Show.
The county show has and always
will be known as the Garden City
fair" 1t has put Garden City on thu.
map. At least once every year sew
eral hundred people visit Garden
City-the fair is the magnet.
This year the fair promises to be
a hummer" It's fiftieth anniversary
will be celebrated in manner
worthy of the occasion. 1t is ex-
pected that the program for this in
teresting and extraordinary event
will be carried out on September u,
the second day of the fair.
Governor Eberhart will be one of
the speakers Others will be en-
gagged to address the people, but the
names of the gentlemen have not
been made public. 1t was hoped to
have Senator Robert La Toilette on
the program, but he has notified the
management that it will be impossi-
BILE for him to come.
Baseball Games Scheduled.
On the 9th probably the, Mankato
baseball team will meet the Ma
pleton team on the diamond. The
purse will be SIS, all to go to the
winner 1t is possible that a band
from Mankato will furnish music on

Senator Moses E. Clapp will be the
principal speaker on September %.
The Lake Crystal and Good Thun-
der baseball teams will contest for
a purse of SIS.
The Lake Crystal and Amboy
