MEDORA MAY SEE GOLD RUSH

Mandan, Aug 10.-Relative to the
Medora gold story and the tale of Joe
Goose, one of the old timers in that
section was in this city today and
confirms a part of the story. The
person talking was an intimate
friend of H. S. Parkin, old rancher
and Indian trader of Cannon Ball.
H. S. Parkin used to tell how In
dams often came to his trading post
with buckskin pouches containing
gold nuggets. The Indians told OF
getting the gold along the creek in the
Badland country near the Little Mis-
souri, river.
Another legend of precious metals
found in the Badland country, hand
ed down from the early days, is that
of Captain Fish, who in the early
eighties with a detachment of sol
diers explored the Little Missouri
Frank Roby of Mandan, then stakec
Captain Fisk, who had prepared
chart showing the location Of ricf
platinum deposit. Although a Ions
search was made for the lode later
the chart had been lost and it could
not be found.

THE BREAD BASKET

1t is conceded that the crop now
almost ready to harvest will be the
largest ever raised in North Dakota.
Not only is this true of wheat, but Of
coarse grains and forage crops with
the single exception of corn The
governments estimate for spring
wheat places North Dakota in the lead
with 116,000,000 bushels. This is an
amount equal to the combined yield
of Minnesota and South Dakota. The
increase in oats, rye and barley will
be a third more than formerly raised.
This all means that the people of the
state will have more money to dis
pose of this year than they have had in
any previous year, and the question
naturally arises as to what will be
done with the increment.
Now such a question is pertinent
and timely. It may be considered as
applying to the state, it may be
brought down to the community, to
the individual, or even to yourself or
your own case. These results Of
the years success may mean simply
more or they may mean better"
Does advancement in volume mean
more land, more labor, more crops in
general, or shall it mean better
farming, better stock, schools, roads,
homes and better living? The way
the people answer this question this
season means much. 1t is up to the
people of North Dakota to return the
right answer.

simply the northern section of the
South Dakota Black Hills. While
state biologists at the University of
North Dakota assert that study of
the physical formations of nature in
the state would indicate the opposite,
it might be possible to find min
erals.
That the old Indian, Joe Goose, who
died last week on the reservation,
made annual trips to the Badlands
and always returned with gold, is an
other indication. Frank Wagner, to
whom the old Indian scout conided
his secrets, is reticent, but it is I'm.
derstood that several parties are con.
templating a prospecting trip through
the Medora country.

At the Orphellm

ga Breath of Old Virginia" the
title of a southern romance, that Jo-
sePh Hart is presenting at the Orpheum
this week, is the most beautiful playlet
t'hat Keith vaudeville brought to Har-
risburg for many a long day. 1t has
been called a sketch within a sketch
and its a romance within romance,
too The action of the playlet opens in
a pretty setting representing the draw
ing room of a typical southern mansion
and here very pleasing young man is
seen courting winsome and beautiful
girl. When he asks her to marry him
and she says that within fifteen min
utes her promise to marry another
would elapse and she would then give
him her answer, Before the fifteen min
utes pass, a southern officer, with one
arm missing, calls upon the girl and
seeing his rival there, asks if her prom
Use still holds good. "Certainly it
does, says the girl. and she induces
the officer to gather some of the flow
ers in the garden for her. During his
absence, the girl tells of the deed of
chivalry the officer committed for her
sake and in that way lost his good,
right arm. Her story is not narrated,
but it is acted. The scene in DAYS of
war is particularly effective and the
acting is of high order. The sweet.
heart role, played 10y June Keith, is
delightful Adv.*
