PROMINENT MINING MAN
is VIRGINIA VISITOR

j. W. Lansing, president and gen.
eral manager of the Coalition Crown
Mining company Of Rawhide, Nevada,
is guest at the New Fay hotel and
will spend about ten days in Virginia
while looking over the iron range. Mr..
Lansing arrived in the city yesterday.
He is familiar with most Of the big
mining districts of the United States
and Alaska, but says he was genuinely
surprised in coming in the iron coun-
try to note the scope and extent of
mining operations here and to find
city the size of Virginia, with fine
public buildings, paved streets and an
ornamental lighting system. Mr..
Lansing plans to visit several of the
big open pits here and at Hibbing and
to visit some of the underground as
we'll. He says the gold production of
the state of Nevada is constantly in
creasing and that while the old boom
days are over towns like Goldfeld,
Tonapah and Rawhide are progress
ing nicely. Mr.. Lansing was surpris-
ed to learn that there are three gold
mining companies in Minnesota SELL
ing stock on various prospects in the
northern part Of the state and will in
vestigate them before returning to
his home.

FARGO MINE SHUTS
DOWN FOR SEASON

The Interstate Mining company
temporarily suspended operations
at the new Fargo mine at Prairie
River last week. During the past
summer this property has been thor
oughly explored under an option lease
by the Interstate people, and last
week this company secured fifty
year lease on the Fargo and Buckeye
properties, which would indicate that
the exploration work has proven
highly satisfactory and in all proba-
bility work will be resumed at the
Fargo on a much larger scale. It
is understood this property will be
stripped during the coming season,
possibly by the hydraulic process.
Superintendent H. C. Lawrence,
when seen at the office of the COM
pany here, said that he had received
no word from headquarters as to
what provisions to make for the op-
ening in the spring. He said that
work on the company's prospects to
the west of the village would be
continued during the winter and that
he expected to hear something de-
finite concerning before long.-Grand

FINAL PROOF MAY BE
MADE ON THE LAND

Commissioner Clay Tallman of the
general land office, in his annual re-
port makes a recommendation that
is OF interest to people of this Sec
ton. He believes that a great deal
of fraud ard misrepresentation in
the making of homestead proofs
would be eliminated if the home
steader be allowed to make proof
right on the land, instead Of being
compelled to make the trip to the
nearest land office, paying the ex-
penses of witnesses, railroad fare,
etc. Advocating the new system,
Commissioner Tallman says:
ut is believed that a more sat-
factory method of taking such proofs
would be found if the law were so
modified as to allow the final proofs
in each case to be taken upon the
land itself before a special agent
designated for this purpose. This
officer being personally present upon
the land at the time Of his taking
the proof would obviate the necessity
of any later examination by special
agent on the part Of this Office to
ascertain the true situation as to
the compliance with the law on the
part Of the claimant. This scheme
would certainly save great trouble
and expense to the entryman, and
expedite the disposition Of final proof
in the general Office"
