DREAM REVEALS
BIG GOLD MINE
AS RESULT OF VISIONS A GOLD
MINE is LOCATED IN ARKANSAS
-SMELTER ERECTED.

Rogers, Ark. July 13.-On top of
the Ozark mountains, few miles from
here, there is a diamond shaped eXca-
vation, each side 1875 feet long, from
which gold is being taken day by day
as a result of vision tina came to
William II. Kruse, former Wholesale.
and retail fruit dealer anu member
of the board of trade of Minneapolis.
Beside this excavation there Is a.
crude smelter, where ore is 5alSed and
from which gold flows. II S mine is
not a mere venture, but reality.
There is no stock for sale and only
those now aiding Kruse will reap the
benefits.
This gold mine, the only one in Ark
ansas, is on little farm, tn property
of Kruse's father, and is in a geolo-
gical formation of which gold is for
eign.
The vision that pointed ou' 20 KruSe
the location of his gold nine is but
one of many that have been profitable
to him. In fact, Kruse declares all
his actions in the last decade have
been guided by these visions.
Followed to Mine by Band.
Kruse believes religiously in them
And he has followers that believe he
is endowed with supernatural powers.
So strongly are they impressed that
on a day set apart by Kruse as the
one upon which he should uncover
gold scores of residents of this little
town, headed by band, marched to
the little farm southwest OF Rogers.
A MONDAY meal was served to them
by Kruse and at o'clock all pitched
in and helped dig the mine This was
a part of the festivities. BY o'clock
five miles of ore had been taken out.
the first ore being reached at depth
of seven feet. This was shiprd to st.
Louis and assayed.
Kruse AYERS that his power Of prop
hecy comes to him as a sort of sixth
sense.
In 1900, while the Letter wheat deal
was on in Chicago, Kruse was a broker
in Minneapolis and wrote the market
quotations on a blackboard in his Of
flee. One day he noticed that he
wrote figures not authorized by the
wire and was astonished when, few
minutes later, those same figures came
to him by telegraph.
Kruse told his brother-in-law, Jos
eph p. Huber, to get thirty small states
and on them write the figures dictated
by him. Huber wrote as directed anC
Kruse forecast the wheat market fol
one month in advance. Subsequent
developments, he says, verified all his
predictions.
Kruse says that it is impossible fol
him to disobey one of his warnings
even though his business be neglected
Twice he made trips to other large
cities, but for what reason, he de-
clares, he does not know.
Kruse's first gold mine vision came
TO him when he was in Minneapolis
late in 1899 He was told there was
great wealth under the ground of his
fathers farm in the heart of the Ozark
mountains. In 1902 Kruse came to
Rogers. He was inactive for days, but
another vision pictured an apple sap
ling on his fathers farm. Finding
such a tree, he began digging.
Aided by l.. NJ. Proctor and his nep-
hew, f. Kruse, he removed the apple
tree to another part of the farm. The
| three men dug down for seven feet.
Then they drilled. The drill became
fastened and could not be withdrawn.
| But they found no gold. Kruse re-
turned to Minneapolis.
In 1905 he had another vision, and
he came back to Rogers. Again he
sought out the spot where the little
apple tree stood. A tent was erected
and he began eXcavating.
The vision had told him that the
excavation should be diamond shaped,
sixteen feet long on each side. A little
later there came another vision that
it should be siXty-five feet long and
diamond shaped Kruse hired men
and teams to remove the dirt.
A third vision came, that the exca-
walton should be increased TO 125 feet
in length. and still diamond shaped.
