GOOD NEWS FOR

Manager Helehan Reports Having
Cut Vein Foot Wall, Dip Show

A happy New Year letter was
the one written by Manager John
Helehan, in charge Of develop
ment work on the Cayuga Devel-
opment company property at Di-
vide, Mont, in which a large num-
Der of Virginians are sharehold-
ers, the property being capital
lied by local citizens and Duluth
capitalists, Mr.. Helehan reporting
the cutting Of the vein at a dis
lance of 100 feet from the shaft
as follows in a letter written the
company officials at Duluth, un-
der date of January 3rd:
"As a New Years gift l be-
lieve / have to announce the cut
ting Of the long looked-for foot
wal of vein.
"The vein is opened up on the
north side for about 4 feet, cut
ting drift a little diagonally. Con-
trary to expectations, the dip of
the vein on granite foot-wal is
nearly vertical, and the fiat pitch
on surface has been explained in
several past letters. AS the feed
ers cut in shaft and in east cross
cut tunnel have about As degrees
or half pitch, they must come from
vein at points lower down.
1.-The vein material is composed
of decomposed porphory, dried
tale clay and a black quartz
strongly colored by green copper
solutions and some brown, rusty
iron streaks, the whole stuff as
seen on the dump being brown col
.ored with pieces of bright green
carbonate of copper all through it.

by our man, who is going down
to the depot tomorrow for powder
and supplies.
i" AS we have just cut into the
vein and know that it is a very
large one on top, containing a va
riety of materials, we will con
tinue across it the hanging wall,
which will take two: men some
time, but you will see we are max.
ing rapid progress. At the end
of the month the drift measured

OFFICIAL PAPER FOR CITY

ing to Virginian.

At the meeting of the city coun-
Gil Tuesday evening the city print
ing contracts for the ensuing year
were awarded, the bid of the En-
terprise for the legal publishing
of the municipality being found
the lowest, and the Enterprise was
named as the official paper for the
year 1912. The commercial print
ing needed by the city and its va
rious departments was awarded
the Virginian at commercial
rates.
The proceedings of the city
council will be given publication
in both papers, in accordance
with the charter provisions, at
rate of 80 cents per folio each.
The necessity Of the publication Of
the proceedings Of the police and
fire commission and other boards
connected with the city was
brought up, and application for
such publication will doubtless be
made to the respective boards.
Such publicity is demanded.
In the matter of the veto of the
application of Mccoy & Gould
for a renewal of their liquor IL
oense the license committee made
favorable report, but following a
statement by the mayor that af-
ter a personal investigation of the
matter he had made up his mind
to never sign a license even
though it be issued, the issuance
Of such license was defeated by
a vote of S to 4, insufficient to car
ny over the mayors veto a, week
Eprevious. The action was the re-
suit of a conviction of Mr.. Gould
on a charge of gambling and the
issuance of warrant on a similar
charge but two days after the first
fine had been paid.

Chicago.-Several Jagged bits OF hu-

of trousers and crimson blood stains
on walls and furniture were the grew
some clues TO an attempted safe rob-
berry found by the police the other
day in the office Of the Williams Grain
company, 406 West Thirty-ninth
street.
The stains and evidence of an hcci-
dent are declared by the police to be
the result of an overcharge of nitro
glycerin, and it is thought one of the
members of the gang of 'yeggs" is
dangerously wounded. The safe which
the men were trying to break into was
wrecked and the walls and furniture
in the Office demolished
The damage done by the explosion
not only evidently wounded one OF
the robbers, but caused the gang to
flee without attempting to take any
valuables from the safe.
The marauders are believed to be
the same ones who a short time be-
fore were frightened away from the
offices of the Schulze Baking COM
pany, 139 West Thirty-flfth street,
after they had drilled the combination
of the safe and were preparing to In

heard the combination Of the safe in
the office fall to the floor. He tele-
phoned the police. but the safe blow

before the police arrived.

Something more than a hundred
years ago the midshipman was, In
deed, the "midshipmite" that he was
popularly called, for he was but a
mite OF q lad, usually receiving his
appointment before he reached his
teens. Admirals Farragut and Por-
ter were midshipmen, afioat and In

age, and Goldborough was appointed

An examination of the shattered

The noise of the explosion was
heard by several persons and the po-

WHY PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
number of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in the rates
that II does, would not be so surprised
We're they to accompany one of the
numerous excursions that are being
run under the auspices of the Govern
ment from several of the states, and
remain with the settler until he gets
onto the free homesteads, which, as
stated by Speaker Champ Clark, in the
u. S. senate the other day, comprises
100 acres OF the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con.
ditions. Then watch the results,
whether it be on this free homestead
of 160 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. TO $40. per acre,
fully as good as the $100. and $3.50.
per acre land of his native state, and
which his means will not permit his
purchasing. On the part of the men,
bers of the u. S. Senate and Congress
there is nothing but praise for Canada.

in their remarks, that they pass legis-

United States much easier.
1t is the success of the American

interest is aroused and determina-
