BEGIN DRILLING FOR ORE
Guyana Range Lands Are Being Ex-
pIoted-Some Favorable Re-
ports Made.

Crosby.-The Guyana Central Ex-
ploration company of Duluth has
started drilling on lands in section
81, 1929. The northeast quarter of
the northwest quarter and the north
east quarter of the northeast quarter
were taken over from the Plymouth
Exploration company of Minneapolis,
which had started drilling.
In order that temporary repairs may
be made in the shafts, the Armour
No. mine, at the west border of this
village, and the Kennedy mine, near
Guyana, both operated by the Rogers
Brown Ore company, will close down
for eleven days, from Dec. "a to Jan.
5.
From various sources there comes
news that another open pit mine will
be developed near Crosby by the Guy
una Iron & Manganese company of
Duluth. This company controls the
northwest quarter of the northeast
quarter of section 10, 1929, which ad.
joins Crosby on the west and the Pen
nington open pit property on the
south.
1t is said that the drill holes put
down so far have shown sufficiently
large body of high grade iron ore to
warrant the opening of a mine, and,
as the conditions are much the same
as those at the Pennington. the Off
Gals of the company believe the open
pit system will prove profitable.

COON PET UPsETS TRADITIONS
Acknowledged Foe of All FeathereG
Creatures Takes Up With
Guinea Chicks.

Monessen, Pa.-Smoke, pet coon
belonging to Franklin Sauter of this
place, has cast aside it's hereditary In
stinct of enmity toward birds and fowl
of all kinds and adopted a brood OF
young guinea hens that had been
Matched in the oven of Mr. Sauter's
stove.
Naturalists and woodsmen in this
section declare it is the only instance
on record where coon is known to
have overcome his natural instincts to
kill all feathered creatures.
Several months ago Mr.. Sauter. on
hunt, captured a baby coon that had
been pulled down and injured by the
dogs. Taking the animal home, it soon
became domesticated and became
great pet around the house
Not having an incubator for his
guinea hens eggs, Sauter placed the
eggs in box back Of his stove. He
was considerably astonished to find the
coon in the box with the young
guineas, mothering them.
Since that time the animal has re-
fused to leave the guinea chicks and
keeps them well covered.

OLD MYSTERY MAY
NOW Be CLEARED
SKELETON BELIEVED TO BE
THAT OF WOMAN GONE
35 YEARS.
PROBABLY CASE OF MURDER
Proof of This Seen BY OId-Time Resi-
dents-Won1an Starting to Visit
Place Long Sought in the
Woods.

Minneapolis.-A mystery of over
thirty-tive years, growing out of the
sudden disappearance of Mrs. Bessie
Apgar, of Long Lake, was believed to
have been partly solved by the discov-
cry of human skeleton in a shallow
grave on the Mimi Hartman farm,
few rods from the house in which the
young woman formerly lived. The
disappearance was the talk of the
county at the time and the story was
revived at Long Lake and at Excel
sior when it was learned that a
skeleton, believed to be that of Mrs.
Apgar, had been found.
Found BY Workman.
The skeleton was found by George
Turnham, of Crystal Bay, Lake Mime
tonka, while he was taking gravel
from the Hartman farm. Mr.. Turn
ham notified Sheriff Otto Langum and
there will be an investigation
Relatives of Mrs. Apgar will see
that the skeleton is given a proper
burial.
The fact that the body had been
buried was accepted by residents of
Long Lake and relatives of the woman
who are living still, as proof that she
was the victim of a murder plot A
theory that she had died from eXhaus-
ton while walking in the woods was
dissolved by the fact that the grave
was thirty inches deep, they say.
Il always believed that my aunt
was killed and so did the other rela-
tives," said A. S. Apgar, of Excelsior,
nephew of Al Apgar, husband of the
missing woman. I'VE never said who
we suspected, but we always believed
that someone killed her.
Will Investigate Discovery.
Mr.. Apgar said that he would inves-
tigate the discovery of the body and
would ask to have a physician examine
the skeleton and Sc if the bones are
those of a woman. The skeleton was
in the gravel SO long that portions of
it crumbled when it was removed.
Mrs. Bessie Apgar was % years old
at the time of her disappearance and
her husband had died only a few
weeks before. The two owned the
farm which now adjoins the Hartman
farm. One day All Apgar, then about
40 years old, was taken i'll in the
field and went to the house, where he
died shortly afterward.
Mrs. Apgar after the funeral decid.
ed to live with her mother in Excel
sior and after Strengthening up tho
business affairs she went to Excelsior.
She then, according to the story, sold
the farm to William Wakefield, better
known as Mono" who took that mama
to indicate that the spirit of an In.
dian who formerly bore it controlled
him. Wakefield moved into the house
and lived there for many years.
Shortly after releasing possession
of the farm Mrs. Apgar left her moth.
er's home, saying she was going to
the farm to get some personal belong.
ings she had left there. She never re-.
turned. The district through which
she would pass was then wild and the
disappearance alarmed the country.
