(Continued from page 1)
 at the now camp and prosperous season is promised.
 The Sixty-mile has been pros peCted with a Keystone drill near the mouth but was found to be 125 feet to bedrock. The new find is shallow, being only 12 to 25 feet tO bedrock. A recent arriv- al reports that $35 was cleaned up from one hole x 8 feet. Three hundred claims were staked in the district and many miners are now at work prospecting their claims. Provisions are reported plenti- full and reasonable in the new camp but there is said to be no demand for labor as the miners were doing the work themselves. The only class of men wanted in the camp now are prospectors and men with ready money to take an interest in the ground for devel- IOpment or purchase outright. r. A number of claims arc staked by Mousehide Indians, including Chief Isaac, Billy, Silas, Jim and Simon. A number of miners formerly of Juneau are said to be among the lucky ones who got their stakes in on good ground.

WORRIED The BANK MAN
Laid Sack Of Money Alongside Road;
Rode Off Forgetting It: Found
BY Another.

1t was reported today that one of
the officials connected with a bank
in a nearby town spent several days
in worrying over the whereabouts of
some money that he was detailed to
bring to Mankato. 1t is said that
he rode motorcycle to Mankato
with the money in a sack. When
about half way between Mankato
and his home town, his motorcycle
broke down He laid the money down
on the road while repairing the motor
cycle, and when he was through,
mounted the wheel and rode into
this city, but forgetting about the
sack Of money.
Another man from the town nearby
came along in his automobile short
ly after and picked up the sack and
returned it to the bank, unbeknown
to the forgetful official, who was on
his way to Mankato. The latter did
not miss the money until he reached
this city, but on his return scruti-
nized the road closely. When he
reached home, the officials of
the bank there kept quiet about the
finding of the cash until a few days
later, when they informed their
employee, and his mind was relieved.

BUTTER FAT FATTENS
PURSES OF FARMERS

which Col are cooperative and Fl

Minnesota is healthy and continually
growing. The figures for 1908 and
1910, the latest available for COM
parison, show that in the former
year eighteen and one-half million
dollars and some over was paid to
the dairy farmers of the state for
butter fat alone, and for 1910 twen-
ty-four and one-half million dollars

ting richer every day and can con-
tinue without limit You may not
comprehend these figures, so look on
the picture of the state. For each
dot there is a creamery 5000, for
each creamery there are 100 farm
ers Tor 100000, for each farmer
there are ten cows (SO0,0O0)-a mil

THIRD PARTY MEN ROW.;
DIXON STIRS THEM UP

If it were, he declared, it would be
futile. He said it was to be party
of the people and one to stand for all
time.
He predicted that four years hence
there would be no Republican candi-
dates. He said Taft would hardly get
an electoral vote this time
Senator Dixon said organizations
had been effected in every stale ex-
cept South Carolina. He said that
state might not be represented in the
national convention here on Aug. 5.
In all other commonwealth a new
party state ticket-and in some states,
county, congressional and legislative
tickets-will be in the field. In Kan
sas, California, West Virginia, South
Dakota and probably North Dakota
the entire Republican machines will
be delivered intact to the new party
organization.
All Eastern states will have third
party state tickets under the National
Progressive party name. Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois and all of the West
ern and Southern states also will
have separate tickets, if not under the
new party name, under name to be
decided upon.
Wisconsin is to have third ticket
and has advanced Governor McGov-
ern's name as vice presidential can
didate. This means war to the knife
with the La Toilette forces.
Chicago, July 24.-The fight over
the question whether third ticket
for state Offices shall be put out in
Illinois was said to have come up in
a new form. The Roosevelt leaders
definitely have decided on third tick
et following the announcement of
Governor Deneen that he would not
support Colonel Roosevelt.
Senator Dixon, Colonel Roosevelt's
campaign manager, and Medill Nc
Cormick, head of the Chicago head
quarters, said plan had been evolved
by those opposed to the third ticket
to send to the state convention on
Aug. 8 delegates who would fight
against any resolution favoring the
plan.

st. Paul, July 24.-Dairy farmers
of Minnesota received the great to-
tai of $24,714,23564 for butter fat
in 1910, an increase of 33 1-3 per
cent in two years. In a bulletin is
sued yesterday by Joel G. Winkjer,
state dairy and food commissioner,
the figures are set forth as attest
ing the remarkable growth of a
great industry that has made Min
nesota famous. In 1908 the fact that
the money received by farmers of
the state for butter fat had amount
ed to $1S,5OO,O0O, coupled with the
prediction that the $2O,OOO,0O0 total
would be reached within eighteen
months thereafter, was considered a
wonderful reflection of the growth of
dairy farming. With the total as
shown in the report, only slightly
under $25,0O0,OO0 for 1910, the in
crease is found to have exceeded all
expectation.
More than 800 creameries are en-
braced in the report. They stand for
about $4,000 farmers and 100000
dairy cows.
In commenting on Mr.. Winkjer's
report The Dairy Record grows elo-
quent over the growth of dairying in
Minnesota and it's future, and in
part says:

Rev. Peter Clare Highly Pleased
With the Responses.
PASTORS ARE NOT WELL PAID
Money Now Being Subscribed Will Be
Devoted to Aiding Methodist Sup
erannuated Ministers.

Winona, July 24.-Rev. Peter Clare
of st. Paul is in Winona this week
in the interest of the superannuated
ministers of the Minnesota Metho-
dist conference. Several years ago
the conference started out to raise
an endowment fund of $350,000 for
this purpose, and within year
Rev. S. F. Kerfoot of this city sue
ceeded in getting pledges for the en-
tire amount. The work was left
without supervision for a little time
and then it was given into the hands
of Mr.. Glare. Mr.. Clare states that
the fund has now reached $65,004 of
paid in money or money on which
interest is being paid into the fund.
Of the original $4,000 subscribed
quite a little could not be collected
on account of subscribers removing
from the state and for other causes.
The aim now is to make the en-
dowment fund 100000, which is lit
tie enough. .'... .....
Pastors Not Well Paid.
Mr. Clare calls. attention to the
fact that while the pastors of large
city churches are we'll remunerated,
the pastors of the average church
are very poorly paid, their average
compensation being hardly more
than that of unskilled laborers and
much less than that of the skilled
laborers, the average annual salary
of ministers in the United States at
the present time being only about
$780,
Under these conditions it is not
surprising that the number of per-
sons entering the ministry is stead
lily falling off, until in some de-
nominations the supply is away be-
low the demand and many churches
are left without pastors. The fact
of the matter is that many men con-
templating entering the ministry
feel they cannot afford to do so if
they are to rear a family. sE
Contributions of Butter, Eggs, Etc.
Formerly the country minister
used to receive good deal, in addi-
ton to his salary, from contributions
of butter, vegetables, etc., from his
farmer parishioners, but that was
before the day of high prices. With
present high quotations not many
farmers care to give away the food
products of the farm and the minis
tiers have to pay for them out of
their slender salaries.
In view of these privations during
their active ministerial careers pas
tors are prevented from laying by
money against their old age, having
hard work to keep the wolf from the
door during their active work. 1t is
therefore due them that provision
should be made for their declining
years.
Mr.. Clare reports much encourage
ment in his work. Winona Metho-
dists gave very literally to the first
$50, 900 of the endowment fund, and
thus cannot be expected to contrib
ute so much now, but nevertheless
Mr.. Clare is securing pledges on
his present visit here.

LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN
Republicans in St. Louis County Are
Not Giving Aid to Third Party
Movement.

The Duluth Herald says: People
hereabouts do not seem to be great
ly aroused over the third party.
The chances are that st. Louis
county's representation at the Pro-
gressive meeting at st. Paul, July
80, will be light. Many republicans
who supported Roosevelt before the
Chicago convention, do not believe
there is room for third party.
They look forward to Wilson's elec-
ton and believe that it will be
sufficient rebuke to the faction of
the republican party that controlled
the Chicago gathering.
In fact, interest in the presiden-
tial contest has waned since the con-
ventions. People will not get ex-
cited over anything just now. They
will become stirred up as the cleo
ton approaches, but gaining their
attention now, for national, state
or local candidates, is hard task.

PROMISE OF A BIG CROP
North and South Dakota Will Give Up
Its Riches. Says H. R. Turner
of Fargo, N. D.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Attorney H. r. Turner of Fargo,
N. D., spent today in Mankato as
the guest of George Atchison Mr..
Turner and Mr.. Atchison were neigh
bors in Dakota for fifteen years and
had a very pleasant day talking
over old times. Mr.. Turner says
that the grain crop in both North
Dakota and South Dakota has every
promise of being record breaking
one. The supply of binding Irvine
is already exhausted and there is
no state institution which can sup
ply any more, and the large harvest
ing companies have already sold all
their output.
The number of threshing outfits
which will go into the Dakotas this
year is marvellous. When Mr.. Turn
er left Fargo there were 154 thresh-
ing machines ready for delivery there,
and a shipment of forty-one carloads
of threshing machines was just sent
to some Montana distributing point.
The harvesting machines are being
sold in proportionate numbers, and
the demand of both threshing and
harvesting equipment exceeds the
supply.
Together with the scarcity of farm
machinery is a scarcity of farm help.
The employment bureaus i. of the
twin cities are. sending out great
numbers of men, but UP to the pres
ent time there is a great shortage
of farm help. ."
