Then Armstrong told of visits TO
Lizzie Young's place, All East Crane
street. Here he and his fellow work
ers bought beer in large quantities
With a crowd of Marion county friends,
Armstrong visited the place September
Is and bought eight bottles of beer for
which Armstrong paid and charged to
his expanse account. The beer was
consumed, the witness said, by him
self and friends and Mrs. Young. They
also bought sandwiches and the item
found a place on the expense account
against Governor Stubb's contingent
fund. After the little party of Septem-
Der Is, one of the Marion county men
bought q suitcase full of beer, but none
of it was left for evidence in the pres
ent hearing. Neither were the Marion
county friends in court to tell of their
trip to Crane street
On three other occasions the same
week, Armstrong, Norris and Leisure
visited Mrs. Young's resort, sat in the
dining room and drank cold beer from
the refrigerator. The woman even in
trOduced her father to Armstrong, who

Hoffman Copper Mine Ore VAL

As Development Progresses and
Shafts Are Sunk.
ARRIVES
Mill VIII Be Built Ready for
Work by APRIL.
Motor Road Completed From
Yucca to Mine.

| J. H. Hoffman, secretary and treas
urer of the Arizona Southwestern Cop
per company, has recently been in the
city in consultation with Mr. C. ].
Price, the company's consulting engi-
neer, concerning the minor details of
the concentrating plant now under con-
struction at the conpany's property at
Copperville. Arizona, and while here
gave out some statements which will
be of much interest to the stockholders
of this company.
In addition to sinking a new three
compartment shaft, the workmen are
driving tunnels on the third level, and
have opened large body of ore ~
cross cutting a distance of 40 feet in
solid ore, which proves not only the
continuity of the vein downward but
also establishes the great width of the
vein.
Many recent labatory tests of the
ore taken from this new shaft and
from the new development gives evil
dence of this mines great richness
and of its future possibilities. Here are
some of the recent tests, the certif1-
Gates for which are on file in the Of
flee of c. E. Foote & Co., in the Shaw
nee Fire building, where they can be
examined by any one who may be in
terested.

Numbers one and two were taken
from the third level. which show very
rich copper values, while number 3 was
from ore taken from the new shaft at
a depth of 40 feet, showing that silver
predominates near the surface
These demonstrations are on par
with the ore tests at the great Ana
conda Copper mine at Butte, Mont,
which was mined for silver for the first
hundred feet in depth, and at a greater
depth proved to be one of the greatest
copper mines in the world.
This company has completed its
motor road from Yucca, station on
the main line of the Santa F'e railroad,
and now one can travel in an automo-
bile or wagon from the railroad to the
mine. They have built a first class
road, so say those who have already
ridden over it.
The machinery for the power plant
already begun to arrive, and will be in
stalled as rapidly as men and money
can accomplish the work. The man
agement expect to have the same in
operation by April.
That this mine will prove to be one
of Arizona's big producers, there is no
longer any room for doubt Quite a
number of Topeka people are interested
in this promising enterprise, and other
wealthy Kansans have recently exam
ined and invested in this property quite
heavily.

Mr.. Bishops Questions.
In the examination of House Mayor
Bishop of Lawrence, who acted as at
torney for the governor in the SUI
preme court asked some rather I'M
usual questions. He was invited to
participate by Mr.. Dawson.
Mr.. House," he asked, was there
any truth in the article which you
printed and referred to in Mr.. Daw-
sons question:"
House declined to answer.
WAS that merely a. newspaper article
written out of fabrication, or is it true
that you were entertained at a club
where beer was openly sold over a
bar?"
The only reply House would offer to
that question was this:
"As a newspaper man 1 have tried for
20 years to build reputation for truth
and veracity."
Mr.. Bishop stated that he assumed
from the answer that what Mr. House
wrote was true.
You can assume anything you like

COOPER PREDICTS
HEAVY BUSHELAGE
NEAR LANSFORD

Lansford. N. D. Aug. 2S.-Thomas
Cooper, superintendent of the Better
Farming association, spent a day in
this vicinity looking over the dem
onstration and rotation pIats in this
locality, n was entertained at an in
formal smoker given at the commerce
ial club, where matters pertaining to
better farming methods were talked
over by Mr.. Cooper and the business
men of this city.
Mr.. Cooper expressed himself great
ly pleased with the progress made in
this vicinity, and the fact that he has
placed r. A. Chitty at Lansford to look
after the work in this locality certain
ly bears out this assertion.
In an inerview Mr.. Cooper compli-
mented the Lansford country upon the
wonderful crop prospects. He says
that the late rains have not apprec-
iably damaged the crop, and that he
looks for excellent returns from here.
While here he examined several
wheatrfelds, and predicts that most of
the wheat in this territory will yield
in the neighborhood of twenty-five
bushels to the acre. AS Mr.. Cooper is
very conservative in his crop reports
this will be glad news to the farmers
or this region. He reportS the oats
as especially good, and says that
North Dakota will lead the world in
this cereal this a He also says
that potatoes indicate a fine crop while
alfalfa sowed this year is showing up
splendidIy. He predicts that by 1915
North Dakota will have an alfalfa
acreage of over 800, 900 acres. Mr..
Mr.. Cooper says that the future pros
perity of the state of North Dakota
depends upon the production of alfal-
ia, corn, and live stock.
M. B. Johnson of Bottineau, in
charge of the better farming tracts in
this county, met Mr.. Cooper here, and
together they left early this morning
for other points in the county on a
tour Of inspection.
Mr.. Cooper's visit to this city was
very helpful and Lansford business
men hope to have another opportunity
in the near future of a visit with him.

LOST HIS LEG IN
THRESHING RIG

Hankinson, N. D., Aug. 23.-The
first threshing accident of the 1912
season was reported when word
reached town that Andrew johnson.
engineer on the Herman Hoefs rig
southwest of here, had been so badly
injured that amputation of a leg above
the knee would be necessary.
The accident happened while John
son was endeavoring to place the belt
on the machine. He was drawn into
the machinery and barely escaped
with his life. Medical aid was sum
moned and he was taken tt" the Lid
gerwood hospital. His condition is
critical but 1t Is thought his life will
be saved unless complications follow
the amputation.
johnson is quite well known in
Hankinson, having been in the en-
pIoy of August Abraham as helper in
his building moving operations three
years ago, He also worked at YER
non and Fairmount with Mr.. Abra-
ham.
He is a single man, about 40 years
of age and his home is in Ohio.

Of Dickinson, Rev. J. N. Taylor and
Rev. A. l. Shute, both Of this city,
composing a committee appointed by
the Bismarck District Ministerial as
ISOLATION of the M. Il. church, met In
this city this afternoon for the pur-
pose Of considering the proposition
OF locating the college at Bismarck.
They held a session with the COM
mercial club and citizens at which
time they unanimously accepted the
invitation Of Bismarck to locate the
college here, n what is more. they
decided to call 1t Bismarck college.
While this will be a denomination

essary for a person in order to be a

christian college to which all can
send their children with the assur-
ance that they will be cared far and
educated under a christian influence.
The commercial club has named a
number of the trustees, and as soon
as this list has been completed, the
matter OF Incorporating will be
taken up. The commercial club now
have under consideration their side
of the contract, that Of Offering a

There is to be no small tnstitu-

none in the state or in South Da-

exception Of the industrial school at
Ellendale, which is Of an entirely
different nature; on the north there
is none except the prospective nor
NAL school at Minot, and on the
east there is one carer than James,

ant schools. Hence it will be seen
that there Is urgent need for an in
stitution of this kind, and 1t is be-
lieved that Bismarck has gotten in on
the ground floor in securing this col
lege. Other denominations have locat-
ed their colleges in al parts OF the
state except the territory Just describ-
ed, and to which Bismarck is the
center as we'll as being quite accessible.
The Methodist society is one of the

the strongest Protestant society in the

out its plan in this enterprise. Bis

winning.

Thirty years constant work among
the Indians on the reservation has
won the father hundreds of friends
among the reds. When the first lit
tie structure was built in 1883. known
as the Mission, ii took $1,000 Of
Father Jerome's private funds to pay
for it. Since that time he has ex-
pended his income in establishing the
two additional parishes, helping the
Indians and others on the reserva-
ton. When the time came that st.
Michaels was too small, Father Je-
rome gave another $500 for the ad-
dition and rernodeling expenses. DurS
ing the entire time he has served on
the reservation the Indians have do
mated but $3.50, that for the last ven
.ture.
In 1877, when Father Jerome came
to Fort Yates, he was accompanied
by Brother Giles. They came from
st. Meinrad's Abbey, Indiana, where
Father Jerome studied theology and
was ordained to the priesthood in
1872. His first constructive work was
the building of a church at Fort Yates
in 1873. A year later he built a church
at the South Farm school, sixteen
miles from the fort.
The services of blessing Sunday are
public and many people from Devils
Lake are planning to motor over and
attend, a cordial invitation having
been extended by the father.
