Clans Eat, Drink
And Make Merry
Meeting of Burns Club Held Friday
At Pythian Hall And New
Dream
LUNCHEON SERVED AT NOON
Addresses by Mayor Stensvad, DIR.
Songs, Dances and Stories

The Burns Club, organized at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. E. Fuller
of Delhi township, January 81, 1913,
held its first annual meeting at the
Knights of Pythias hall, Friday, jan
uary 80, and fittingly celebrated the
birth anniversary Of Robert Burns.
Two hundred fifty people responded
to the invitations sent out by the
committee. Under the supervision of
Mrs. Francois and Mrs. A. D. Stewart,
chairmen of the committee boun-
tiful lunch was served at noon. The
Haggis, "Chieftan o'the puddin' race"
prepared by Mesdames Fuller and
Mclean took an important part in
the menu.
Archie Johnson of Minneapolis
tuned up the pipes and played the
progressional music by which all
marched into the dining room. Grace
was offered by Rev. Darrell.
Following the luncheon a short
business meeting was held and the
following officers elected for the COM
ing year: Pres. D. Mclean; Vice
Pres A. D. Stewart; Sec. Mrs. R. E.
Fuller; Treas. John Colville.
Good Program Given
At two-thirty the company went
to the New Dream where clever
Scotch program was given.
Mayor Stensvad welcomed the Clans
to the city in very appropriate adj
dress in which he paid tribute to
the Scottish race and to the fitness
of an assembly of Burns admirers.
DIR. A. L. Sarchet, in the absence of
DIR. Dodds of Mankato, responded in
very happy manner. DR.. Sarchet's
address bespoke genuine knowledge
and love of things Scotch.
| Archie Johnson and his son of
Minneapolis performed their numbers
on the program very creditably. Mr..
Johnson is not only good piper but
also a fine singer of Scotch Songs,
and his son is an artist in the famous
Scotch dances, the Highland Fling,
the Broad Sword Dance and the
Sailors Hornpipe. Both Mr.. john
son and his son appeared in costume
and delighted the audience with their
performances.
The Address on Burns by
A. d. Stewart was a glowing tri-
but to the genius of Burns and
what his lyric poetry has done
for the world of letters. Mr. Stewards
address commanded the closest atten-
ton of his audience.
Mrs. Isabelle Coulter of Mankato
read Burns, ITO a Field Mouse" and
''Bairnies Cuddle Doom" and several
other Scotch selections. Mrs. Coul-
ter has marked ability as Scotch
reader, and her reading of dialect is
particularly entertaining. Mrs. Dun
can McCorquodale read charmingly
the comic selection Extraordinary
Catechising" which greatly delighted
her listeners.
Accompanied by Miss Amy Barnes,
A. d. McRae sang two of Harry Lam
ders Songs which proved very popu-
t lar and the program closed by the
audience uniting in singing "Auld
Lang Syne"
A meeting will be held later in the
year, at which all those who have
not joined the organization and wish
to do so will be given an opportunity.

Mining DEAL AT
DISASTER PEAK

! A deal in mining claims was put
through the other day, wherein pros.
pector d. w. Morgan took over J. E.
Harris interest in two claims, in the
Disaster Peak mining district, Kings
river country. Mr.. Morgan represents
group of mining promoters in the
eastern part of the state.
Mr.. Harris is the first locator of
placer ground in Leonard creek that
has caused the late excitement in that
district. He and Jas. Corbeil found
the rich high-grade float that has
caused the influx of prospectors to
that section during the past spring
and summer. Many locations have
been made and considerable develop
ment work done.
Among those who consider them
selves fortunate are the Mccullough
Bros, Hawkins, the Susanville, Cal,
flour-mill man, and the Drouillard
Bros, from the Surprise Valley coun-
try, who have opened up Teepee
creek and found the values perma-
nent. Gordon and Garrett, who are
opening up the Cove canyon country,
five miles west of Leonard creek, Guy
Bishop, who has large holdings on
Leonard creek, George Rose, one Of
our townsmen, associated with and
backing Moffitt and Alley, Laughlin
and Rusk, who are in the high-grade
quartz. Fred Brado and partner, who
are in the valuable placer ground in
Buckaroo gulch, Schneider, the man
from Alaska, who built perhaps the
first cabin in this state, out of moth
ing but sagebrush and made it rain,
snow and wind proof, is taking ont
the nuggets with a 10-foot sIuice.
Frazier, Curry & Malm have a 6x4x4
rocker and get pay dirt on the surface
among the sagebrush roots.
The drawback of this section is q
lack of water below the surface and
machinery is needed to handle this
problem, which will be taken in after
the spring thaws have settled the
ground.
Harris and Corbeil have one group
of claims that are being exported by
representative of a dredger company
and should the ground prove of sufi-
cient value one or more dredgers will
be installed on these claims before
many days.
Dick La Pierre has several placer
claims with fine showings and has
done a lot of hard work on his quartz
claims that will, beyond q doubt,
make Dick a rich man in the near flu
tura
Jas. Corbeil's claims in New York
canyon, where he has backed t" New
York Johnson for ten years, are
about to make him bunch of money.
In less than six months, if he is so
minded, he can sell out for enough to
take over the war debt of France.
