age as variegated as Joseph's coat OF
many colors The activity OF the ex-

BIG DEPOSITS OF IRON
UNDER GRANT COUNTY
According to Claims Made by
Prairie du Chen Man.
Says This Section is Underlaid by a
Great Mineral Range of Fab
ulous Value.

If there is any truth in the state
ment made by A. r. Honzel, of
Prairie du Chen there is vast field
Of mineral wealth underlying Grant
and two other counties in Southwest
ern Wisconsin, that has hitherto been
undreamed of.
Mr.. Honzel made this announce
ment two or three days ago at Madi'
Sun and stated that he was about TO
close q deal for leases on $50 acres in
the Kickapoo valley north of Boscobel
for a mining corporation supposed to
be the Corrigan Mckinney company,
of Cleveland.
The leases are only part of deal
for the securing of rights on about
1000 acres of land, the extreme range
of the discoveries being sixty miles in
a north and south line and forty
miles east and west.
The peculiar phase of the discovery,
which leads to the belief that the
entire section is huge iron range,
is that limonite. ordinarily found
geologicalIy above hematite, is in
this new district. Rich red hematite
has been found on each side, indicat-
ing the washing to lower levels all
around the original limotite deposit,
of beds of the oxide, formed by the
disintegration and washing away of
the original limonite. The limouite
assays over 81 per cent iron, non
bessemer, while the hematite runs
over so per cent.
The ore is GEAR tie surface, being
in places only twenty feet below
the surface. while in the best ex'
plored tract the mineral is eighty feet
below the surface. The area, forty
acres in extent, tested out by drills,
contains approximately 1900, 900 tons
of ore, valued at about S., 600, GOO.
Grant county is one of the richest
and best agricultural, dairy and stock
raising sections of the state add il
very rich as we'll in the zinc and Lead
fields within its eastern borders To a.
are now being so proftably worked
If it should prove true that its north
ern and western portions contain thu
possibilities for a great iron field i
would add large factor to its wealth
and Importance. E'''&

Charge for Obituary Poetry

The Fennimore Times makes the
announcement that it will hereafter
make a charge of FIVE cents per line
for obituary poetry and cards of
thanks. It says: &9
Eve willingly publish obituaries,
free of charge, If .unaccompanied by
poetry or not to exceed a half dozen
short lines of verse, but the demand
on our competitors time has become
so great that we cannot pubiish Oblt-
uary poetry or lines in memory !, ETC.,
without pay"
This is in accord with s custom
that prevails among newspapers nearly
everywhere, although it has not been
applied in this county. People little
realize the time and expense that
newspaper publishers devote to the
publication of lengthy obituary
notices. interspersed with innumerable
verses of poetry. in the course of q
year. Most publishers are perfectly
willing to publish such articles free
where they are of reasonable length,
particularly SO IOC poOpl0 WIZ AaNo
been long time residents or of
prominence in the community. How
ever. it must be admitted that their
willingness to do this is sometimes
abused and lengthy sketches are sent
for publication concerning persons but
little known, and even in some in.
stances for those of whom the editor
has never heard, and the publication
is accepted as a matter of course,
witnou tany manifestation of apprecia-
tion from the persons requesting the
publication. 1t is perfectly proper
that a nominal charge should be made
for poetry and cards of thanks.

In Memory of Mrs. Ben Bass Sr.

"Called from our sight and our love,
Out of the path thou hast trOd,
Into the house hold above,
Heir of the mansions of God!
Out of the struggle and strain.
Out of the midst of the race,
Out of the dimneSS and pain,
Into the light of His face"
Miss Addie Davis was born at
Pottsville, Pennsylvania, May 8, 1845,
of English parentage. She came to
Wisconsin at an early age. At
Beetown, Grant county. January g.,
1866, she was united in marriage to
Benaga Bass, riding on horse back the
distance from Mineral Point for that
purpose. When asked if she could
thus make the trip in mid-winter, she
replied, "Though stormy winds may
blow and dangers threaten l will go
with you to the end of life, fearing
nothing For almost half century
she sojourned by mis- side. Every joy
was happily enhanced, all burdens
lightened by hec loyal sharing. They
made home in the township of Bee
town and here dwelt together forty
four years. Into this home came
seventeen children. Death also cast
