GYPSY COMPANY HAS LAND NEAR
 ARIZONA CO.
Large Operating Company in Oklahoma Buys Land Ad- joining That of Arizona Oklahoma Oil and Gas Go.

Latest reports from the oil fields of Oklahoma would appear to indicate that the property of the Arizona-Ok- lahoma Oil and Gas Company had chosen land which is in the middle of a belt of great promise. The latest news is to the effect that the Gypsy Oil company. one Of the largest oper- ating companies in that section. is now the owner Of land immediately adjoining the property Of the Arizona corporation.
 II. B. Hunter. secretary of the com pany and formerly cashier of the Bank Of Lowell, writes to the direc- torate of the organization, that every indication is favorable and that if a well, which is now in the gas on the eastern side of the Arizona company's s property materializes that the for tune of the western corporation is made.
 The Arizona company owns 650 acres in this vicinity and with the ar rival of the Gypsy company it is ap- parent that the larger company thinks well of the location. Should oil be struck in the we'll on the ad- joining piece of property there is no end to the possibilities of the $50 acre tract.
 Many Bisbee and Warren District people are interested and more are buying of the stock daily. It would appear that a great interest attaches to oil investments in this section. par ticularly to an organization which is made up exclusively of local people.

LITTLE JESSIE GOLD MINES MAY AGAIN COME
 INTO BIG PROMINENCE
Large Delegation of Ohio h. vestors Are En Route To Property To Investigate May Reopen Mine.

PRESCOTT, Aug. 26.-The final move by which the Little Jessie gold mines of Chaparral are to be revived in short time. has been closed, in the unwatering or the old workings to the 35O-foot level.
 Early next week it is expected a definite plan of action on a large scale of development to be prosecuted will be known. when several share holders and all officers of the Ohio Mines company arrive from Colum- bus. Cleveland and other Ohio cities to make observations that will be con elusive of future action to be extend ed this famOusly known property which has been inactive for many years, except at intervals, when un- der development by leasers. Several weeks have been taken up in unwater- ing. and the points exposed are said to be sufficient for the purpose of an examination to be made and from which absolute consideration can be
 
 tion. Of the showing in evidence, those conversant with conditions are decidedly optimistic as to ore content and values carried. The 300 level has been extended in recent months and from that zone shipments were made of uassorted ores that ranged to over $250 to the ton in gold, while the mill products treated on the ground averaged over $50 to the ton in a concentrate yield.
 The new movement by which re- organization of the Ohio is to be made effective and large development inaugurated on basis of permanency, had its inception early in the present year when one of trc principal share holders devoted several weeks to mak- ing an examination and in carrying out limited development to the 300.

Made us long with wild delight.

Up the middle and down again."
All, the merry hearted laughter
Ringing through the happy glen.
Oh, to think Of it; oh, to dream of it
Fills my heart with tears;
Oh, the days of the Kerry dancing;
Oh, the ring of the piper's tune.
OH, for one of those hours of gladness,
~ Gone, alas, like our youth, too soon!
Time goes on and the happy years are
dead,
And one by one the merry hearts are fed
Silent now is the wild and lonely glen
Where the bright glad laugh will echo
= ne'er again.
Only dreaming of days gone by. in my
heart hear
Loving voices of old companions stealing
out of the past once more,
And the sound of the dear old music, sort
and sweet as in the days of yore.

BAYFIELD,


According to recent reports sent
out by the logging contractors
carrying corporations in the south
ern end of Bayfield, county, they are
now having one of the best seasons
in years. In fact, this condition
seems to generally prevail through
out northern Wisconsin, including
the territory embraced in the
Sawyer county. Indications are
that the cut will total much greater
than it has for number of years.
Hardwood for lumber and pulpwood
for paper is cut that is keeping
most Of the larger crews busy.
| Conditions have been right since
early fall, though the snowfall OF
last week has been about all that
the loggers want or can use to ad
vantage, in many instances tending
to offer serious opposition, and
overcome only under the greatest
difficulty.

A Hint to Golfers.

If there is one part of the game more
than another that is likely to try the
golfers patience to the utmost 1t Is
putting. When we consider that half
Of the game of golf is on the putting
green is not this good reason why
we should be proficient at it? But how
are we to overcome this weakness on
the greens?
The only real sound theory that Is
known for putting is to swing your
putter on dead straight line through
the ball toward the hole. You can
practice this method by putting the end
Of the putter head close up to wall
and practice swinging your putter back
and forth. A pendulum movement Is
best, keeping the end of the putter
close to the wall. Try it and see If 1T
does not help your holing out.-Outing.
