FRANK WAGNER
 HAS RETURNED
Has Interested Dakota and Iowa Capital In the Development
 of His Property

Frank Wagner returned on the Northwestern yesterday accom- panied by Messrs. H. B. Watter- man and H. Latlcy. They arc registered at the Cliff House.
 Mir. Wagner has been success full in interesting capital to open up and develop the property. He has interested South Dakota and Iowa capitalists with himself and partners and the property will be extensively developed with q view of placing mill Of suitable ca pacity and character on the ground at an early date.
 The party will go to the prop elty, which is in the Shoup pay district, tomorrow. Trail will be broken and d camp established at once in order that development work can begin immediately.
 The showing on the property is exceptionally promising. The sur face UutcrOp is very rich and a tunnel driven 20 feet tapped the ledge 80 feet below the Outcrop and shows three feet of high grade ore. The miners believe the ledge tapped is not the main one and the upper tunnel will be con tinued for some distance.
 The property affords ideal con ditions for cheap handling of the ore. A work tunnel zoo feet be- low the present one will land the ore right at the site where it is proposed 10 erect the mill. The people interested with Mr.. Wag- ncr are men who are familiar with mining and have made q success or their ventures. They are financially able to develop the property and to place a mill suit able for the treatment of the ores when that stage has been reached Mr. Waterman states there is a good deal of favorable com m"nt heard on the outside. about NaldrZ and hr believes there will be number of monird men visit the camp this summer. Practical ly no failures have been report ed from the camp as the result of development work iO date and that Is considered as a remarkable showing by mining men. He states that Mr. Townsend, of Ab- erdeen, S. D., one of the capital iSts interested, will visit the dis lrIct this summer and may be ac- companied by other capitalists.

WILD GEESE HERALD SPRING Big Flock Returned Yesterday From Long Trip to Sunny
 South

The arrival of HOcks of wild geese from their sOjourn in the sunny south has always been re- gardcd as the herald of the ap- proach of spring. 4 large flock numbering 6l arrived yesterday and alightcd at the islands near the mouth of Mineral creek so spring will soon be here.
 IL is not unusual to find scat tered pairs of wild geese on the islands at any season of the year but they arc only seen in big fockS when on their way to or from the breeding grounds. The SI'oI 1: men may have a good op . portunity for some fine goose shouting this spring as it will be SCTG" time before the ice in the interior breaks up and the wild fowl tempted to continue their | llI"i,ts to the far north.

they occupy q position midway be-

JAPANESE PLUM VERY HARDY
VIII Grow on Almost Any Soil and DO

Come On Early.

Plums OF the Japanese variety are
popular with most growers. particu.
larry in the east, because they are
hardy and come on early. Many OF
these varieties are the earliest In the
market, and as they are always OF
good color. either cherry reds or
light yellows, they sell readily and
bring good prices.
They will grow well on almost any
kind OF decent soil, and do not need
TO be particularly coddied. although
they should have all the care that any
good fruit tree deserves.
These trees were planted four years
ago in soil from which pine scrub had
been grubbed only q few weeks be-
fore. The trees are bearing well and
show nne color and great vigor.
These Japanese plums differ from
the domestic varieties In that It's
leaves are longer. thinner and smooth
or. and II has q great tendency TO
produce lateral fruit buds on the an.
nusl growth. Its fruit IL mostly short,
round and plump.
The Japanese plum is less liable to
