The Placer Miners

It is understood that the PARTIES
washing the gravels over in WASH
inyton gulch are getting sufficient
results to justify their putting in n
more extensive plant which will
likely be an hydraulic pipe line or a
drcdgc either of which would handle
more dirt than ten men could aho-
vel into sluicc boxes Although no
clean up has yet been made there
is quite a quantity of na'gum now
showing in the sluices. Should
the proposition prove a. expected the
old gulch is likely to be lined with
placer miners clean up to the paint
er hoy mine which is more than
five miles above the point now being
worked. The gold being taken is
principally very fine and few nugg-
cts if any are being taken out. The
old gulch used to furnish quantities
OF nuggets some Of which would
weigh several penny weights. The
best washings and the coarsest gold
Was taken along where the gulch
canons up but the ground WAS new
er gone over thoroughly here al
though more than one hundred
Thousand dollars is said to have
been taken out here and neither
bank was ever disturbed where it is
supposed that large quantities re-
main as part Of the virgin dcposite.
This would be an excellent point
for hydraulic plant which would
enable the miner TO wash down the
banks and recover all the gold by
this method Of operating.

out and practically none of the gold
mined from the quartz veins which
have furnished the stream with its

A Plea For The Fish

When removing an understood
trout from your hook, always mois
ten your hands before grnsping the
fish; otherwise the dry hand will
remove the slime from the hack of
the trout, when it is only question
of time until fungus sets in and the
fish will die.
Always kill your fish that arc
large enough to keep, AZ soon as
taken from the hook. This can bc
done by giving it a stroke with a
stick on the head, back of the eyes.
1t will avoid all suffering, and make
your fish far better for table use.
The American Fisheries Society
at Washington, d. c., September
21-24, 1908, recommended that the
various State commissioners educate
the people by every means in their
power to follow the directions given
about wetting the hands.
Endorsed by twenty eight Fish
and Game Commissioners through

HADLEY A BIG MAN.

The ms who came out of the Chi
cage republican national convention
with the greatest honors was Cover
nor Hadley Of Missouri. HadIey was
an enthusiastic friend of Colonel
Roosevelt and his floor manager. He
performed his work SO cleverly-and
at the same time so fairly-that ever
the opponents of Roosevelt conceived a
strong admiration for the Missourian.
When the Roosevelt bolt was finally
ripe-Hadley, the strongest supporter
Roosevelt had-called a halt. He pos
itlveiy declined to wander off after
strange gods. He was for Colonel
Roosevelt-but nrst of all he was a
republican. He had gone to Chicago
hoping to nominate Rooseyelt-but
failing in that he was too manly to
bolt a convention which he had
gone into with the hope VI ul4ret ga.
results.
gtIadIey today stands ace high with
the average republican of the United
States. Many of them will regret that
he was not nominated himself for the
presidency. 4 whole lot more gill
keep him in mind for the next four
ysars-and he will be heard from in
1916, Hadley seems to be presidential
size.

v. 0. CROP OUTLOOK.

Barring the corn--all crop In North
Dakota are well nigh perfect. The
cool weather that has prevailed for q
greater part of the time since the crop
was seeded has been highly beneficial
to all small grains. OF course, until
recently there has been no corn"
weather and that crop is backward.
With favorable conditions from now
on this handicap may be overcome.
The rainfall has been in excess Of
normal and has been so equitably dis
tributed that conditions are ideal. 1t
looks like North Dakotans will revel
in prosperity this fall. There may be
hot winds, blight and storm to damage
crops in certain parts of the state
or decrease the yield in the greater
part-but it seems almost inconceiv-
able that any calamity, so great that
it would prevent a fair crop-can be-
fall the state.

Mr.. and Mrs. James D. Smith Of
this city are getting ready to take a
long and extended trip, and the trip
is all brought about by a transaction
that Mr.. smith went into several
years ago.
He bought Jour or FIVE lots up about
Edmonton, Canada, and paid some
thing like 5000 for the parcel. At that
time he promised his wife when he
sold them at a profit they would take
a trip east each to his and her old
home.
The lots were sold a few days ago
and he realized a profit of about
$4,000. j. d. had forgotten all about
the promise, but Mrs. Smith had not.
That is why they will go to their cot
tage at Pokegama beach, at East
Shore, Detroit, early next week, and
after spending a few days there to
see that the balance of the family is
fixed all right, they will proceed first
to Warren, Pa, where they will visit
Mr.. Smiths folks and then go on to
the vicinity of Philadelphia where
they will see Mrs. Smiths friends. 1t

many years and they are looking for
