Homestake.

The annual report of the Honsstake Gold Mining company for 1913 states that operations were conducted thru the year at full capacity. During the summer 20 stamps were added to the plant, making total Of 1920 stamps now dropping. Electric power has entirely replaced steam in the rock crushers at the various shafts. Steam is still used for hosting and operating the air comprsssors, although cleo tricity is largely used for pumping and at many of the surface plants.
 For 1914 plans include the erection of a new hosting plant, steam gener- ating plant and steam.driyen auXill- ary electric plant. The steam plant will be centrally located, to serve both of the improvements mentioned. It will contain six boilers of capacity of 600 horsepower each, equipped with automatic stokers.
 It is also planned to experiment WlUu Oll, duu II ouVioioSeo'y 'SS"'So N' obtained, that fuel will be used The equipment of this plant will cost lOO.- OOOS. The auxiliary electric plant will have a normal capacity of 32OO horse power, will be capable of generating continuously 100 horsepower and will have a maximum capacity of 1900 horsepower which may be maintained for several hours. It will cost o,OOO$.
 The new hoisting plant will be in- stalled at the Old Abe shaft. It will have a capacity of 5000 feet and will cost 75,OO0$. Delivery of the machin- cry will commence in about two months, and the plant is expected to be in operation by the end of the year. Including the buildings which will house these improvements, the esti. mated cost is expected to reach a to- tai of 350,000$.
 Commencing in Japuary, 1913, the company inaugurated a bonus system paying it's employees an amount equal to per cent Of their annual earnings. This bonus payment is being dupli. cated this month. This practically raises miners pay to 3.75$ per day. The payment of this bonus. and the adoption of other rules and regulations for the well-being and comfort of the employees has attracted to the Home, stake desirable class of employees.
 Beginning with January, 1913. the dividend rate was raised from 50 to 65 cents per month, and in March a stock dividend of b per cent or B, 760 shares, was paid, increasing the capital to 25l, l60 shares.

Little Jesse Mine Unwatered.

General Manager c. H. Blacksr of the Chaparal Mining Company was an arrival yesterday from the Little Jes. sic and stated the unwatering of the old shaft and levels had been accom- plished after several weeks of dilgent effort.
 Development has begun on the POO foot level, and after making observa. tions of other underground points he expressed himself as satisfied over the attractive conditions presented. For the first time in over ten years the Jessie is again active, and in a manner that indicates the future will be at. tended with another heavy producer of gold being established in this field. The resumption of the Jesse, in short. is viewed by mining men conservant with minera logical conditions to depth, as one of the most important events in that field, and it is generally believed the creating of good property will follow from the plans outlined by the operating company, new one incor- porated recently.-Prescott Journal Miner.

Keep WhistIing.

Keep whistling. It's better than pausing to cuss, and tearing your sweater and raising d fuss. No woes e'er were banished by swear words and howls, no troubles e'er vanished because of your scowls: they'll hang on the longer on tindng you sore. they'll thrleve and grow stronger and v.x you the more. Keep whistIing It's wiser than taking club and scold. iay Elizer. who's late with the grub: or roasting Susannah. who's painfully prone 10 punch the piano when shirts should be sewn. For scoldng and ranting and shedding the tear makes life less enchanting for everyone near. Keep whisting. it's saner than paw ing the air; and folks are not eager to list while yon groan of suffering msagre compared with their own. Your friends will desert you and call you bore, and think it virtue to side step your door. Whereas if you whistle and laugh at your woes and swear that thistle is good as rose, they'll say you're honey, bird and a peach; your life will be sunny, which now is screech Walt Mason.

NORTH DAKOTA FOLK
SHOULD GIVE THANKS

Grand Forks, Dec. 3.-]f there is
a people on the face OF this earth
that had reason to give. thanks
upon the annual Thanksgiving
Day last week. it is the North Da-
kotans. Over a large part OF Eur
ope. horrible, war prevails, North
Dakota is at peace. Over a large
section of Europe, starvation star
es the population in the face, ana
North Dakota has plenty. Over
many sections of the United
States, particularly where indust-
ries are gathered, men are without
work and therefore without mon
ey. North Dakotans are employ
ed. North Dakotans are happy
and healthy, &no epidemic sweeps
their land.
With no industries shut down
and few unemployed, with good
crops finding ready sale at high
prices, With her people healthy
and happy and with prospect OF
seeing in the not far distant ful-
ure, an incoming of old word far
mers who will help to make her
proud prairies more productive,
North Dakota is leading the world
today as a great happy home state.
These facts were impressed
most thoroughly upon Grand
Forks audience last week, when
Prof. Ghstave Kuehenmann of
Breslau University, Germany,
spoke before the University of
North Dakota upon German Ideal
ism.

Boys Are Boosting North
Dakota Into the Corn Belt
Wonderful Results Obtained by Boys the Annual Boys Acre
Yield Corn Contest Show That North Dakota Has Rgh,
to Claim She Is in the Corn Belt.

The boys of North Dakota are
boosting the state into the corn belt.
in the boys acre yield corn contest
conducted by the North Dakota exper-
iment station yield Of 9S.S bushels
DeLamere. HE is a brother Of Henry
who last year produced 1867 bushels
on the same land. Part of Henry's
corn was drowned out, which cut his
yield down to 1853 bushels.
The Better Farming association put
up $4,000 in prizes. Out of this Wal
ter receives $500, the first prize for
the southern section, and also the
grand prize of $4,000.
Noel Thorpe of Mayville raised
92.3 bushels on an acre. Last year
he produced the same yield. Henry
Schmidt Of Emerado raised 1874 bu.
Shells on an acre, which is the best
Weld inS the northern section. This
entitles.s him to g prize Of $500.
6s8 Boys Entered.
The average OF the sixteen winners
OF the southern section was 70.6 bu-
shells, while that Of the fifteen in the
northern section was 63.2 bushels.
Six hundred lightweight boys entered
the contest. The average of the con-
testants was 42.1 bushels. The aver
age Of the United States is 25.S bu.
shells, and of North Dakota % bushels.
Comparing the boys yields with the
average for the United States and
that Of North Dakota it is evident
that they are setting new records for
corn growing in the state. In this
same connection it must be remem-
bered that the conditions were that
this corn should be grown under field
conditions. Manure could be used
but no commercial fertilizers. The
yields have been steadily increased
during the three contests that have
been held. A study of the boys work
indicates that the improvement of the
seed has played a large factor in this
increased yield. In the 1914 contest
al Of the winners in the southern sec
ton used home grown seed and all
but two Of those in the northern sec
ton and they stood low OH the list.
All the high yields in the three con.
tests have been secured by the home
grown seed. This makes it plain that
it takes North Dakota seed to pro-

duce yields. Another factor has been
good tillage. The nature of the soil
does not seem to have cut much fl
cure as the yield Of 9S.S bushels was
secured on very sandy soil, While
that of 92.6 bushels was secured on a
heavy clay. Waiter Granlund, as
mentioned before, raised his corn on
sandy soil. He manured it in the
winter and this spring plowed it elev-
en- inches deep. 1t was then discked,
narrowed and planted on Nav 49, It.
was then narrowed twice and given
some cultivation. This corn was ripe
September 1st. He used Rustler
White Dent which had been grown
on the farm for several years and
many prizes have been wen with it.
Raised His on Clay.
Noel Thorpe raised his corn on a
heavy clay soil. 1t was plowed eight
inches deep this spring, packed and
planted on the 9Th of May. The field
was then narrowed three times and
three civilizations given the corn, 1t
was ripe on September TO-
This contest was opened to the
farm boys from ten to eighteen years
Of age. They hAd to furnish their
own seed, plan the raising of the
crop and do the work. The corn was
judged by members Of the experiment
station, mostly by the county agents
in the Better Farming section. A
considerable part Of the acre was
husked and weighed to make a basis
of calculating the total yield. Seven.
ty.six pounds Of corn were required
per bushel. .eV
Arouse Interest.
The object of these contests has
ben to arouse greater interest in
corn production and to demonstrate
that corn can be protitably grown in
all sections Of the state. The three
contests that have been held. have
demonstrated this even.} beyond the
expectations of those who started it.
At the North Dakota experiment
station it has been found that more
wheat Is produced in the throe. crops
following corn than in four lcrops of
continuous wheat and now the boys
have demonstrated that the corn crop
in itself can be made very profitable

SUFFRAGE VOTE
IS A PUzzLER
Woman Suffrage Polled 251
Votes More Than ANY
State officer.

A peculiar situation has arisen re-
garding the vote on suffrage in this
state and is one which is puz"ling
those interested in state affairs. 1t
is the fact that the returns show 251
votes more cast on the suffrage ques-
ton than there were for an" office or
measure. In other words there were
S9,557 votes cast both for and against
the suffrage question, while there
were only S9,3OG votes cast for all
candidates for governor, or Sl i'll
excess.
Now the question arises, did 251
voters fail to vote for governor, and
yet vote on suffrage. We're the fl
CURES reversed there would be no sur.
prise. for many failed to vote on the
suffrage question and left their suf-
frage ballots in the booth.
May Be An Error.
1t is believed there must be an er-
ror somewhere, but it will be impos-
sible to locate it until the official
canvass has been made. The cancas-
sing board will meet next Tuesday
when, the official figures may be gone
over and possibly the discrepancy-if if
there is one-founG. a.
1t is possible that somewhere in
the mass Of figures some have be-
come transposed or misplaced, but
this will soon show for itself in the
canvass.
or cOurSa If is ms sible that 251
men failed to vote for any state Off
GERS and voted alone for the suffrage
question, but it is hardly probable.
