IMMENSE DEPOSIT OF
IRON on MINNESOTA
Will Probably be Shipped if Fa-
vorable Returns from Recent
Samples are Received

Mr.. Walter Taubert, one of the
operators OF lease on the Mime
sota-Nevada is negotiating with
the Western Ore Purchasing
Company for the handling of an
immense deposit of 3 per cent cop
per ore carrying 40 to 50 per cent
iron. This property has been
mining high grade copper and
have a number of carloads ready
to ship. Should they find it prof.
table to handle this low grade ore,
and there is fair chance, this
high percentage of iron which the
ore carries will make it so, this
mine has. a chance of becoming
one of the big producers OF this
country Jesse Peter, the mining
engineer who examined this prop
erty, reported this ore as a high
grade iron ore suitable for making
foundry iron and steel. 1t was
his contention that the property
could be mined by the cheapest
methods as it was within reason
able distance from the railroad
and the climatic conditions were
favorable for continuous work.
This property is one of the larg-
est deposits of iron ore in the
west. While it is in no shape to
make an acurate estimate o., ton
mage. yet Mr.. Peter stated he be-
I, lieved two hundred and fifty mil
lion tons of ore could easily be
proven.

CITY COUNCIL MET
MONDAY EVENING
Rabies and the Muzzling of Dogs
Was Discussed

The city fathers decided at
Monday nights meeting to follow
in the footsteps of the County
Commissioners in whatever they
did as a protection against rabies.
Before the close of the months
business the city council took q
rap at the rabies question, and
came to the conclusion that they
had better wait till the Commits
sioners act on this matter ther
work in conjunction with them
The sewer at the north end OF
main street came under the ban OF
the official eye, and considerable
discussion arose over leak that
has caused the overflow water to
flood the road. Brooks in his tes-
timony regarding the leaky pipe
stated that he was compelled to
use gum boots in order to get in
the pumping plant, as the seepage
water which accumulates at night
while the force pump is out Of
commission, rises above the floor
and makes working around the
machinery dangerous.
1t was decided that the Install
alton OF pipe or culvert to carry
off this overflow that accumulates
at the end of main street would
not only be a health measure but
it was necessary that it be done
to protect both the plant and ope-
rator. The matter was referred to
the sewer and street committee.

BRED IN THE PURPLE.

Joe Wilson, Jr., started the new
year right by importing two more
purebred Berkshire gifts from
Missouri. To use the stockman's
phrase these gifts are "bred in the
purple" Their sire once sold fol-
81 $50 and their grand sire is a lit
ter mate to the grand champion
boar at the Panama Pacific Expo
sition.
With the addition of these gifts
and the big SOW purchased at the
Exposition he expects to have a
prize show herd for the State fail
next September.
BUD says that these show
lngs arc not valuable merely be.
cause they are show animals, bu'
because of their inherited abilit,
to grow into pork, and becaus
this quality is transmitted to thei
offspring. He says the, sale o
purebred pigs is good despite thu
adverse conditions in the porl
market.

SECURES OLD RELIC

On the visit to Sweetwater last
week Mr.. J. l. Wilson and T. L
Walden found at the Wiley ranch
a relic of unusual interest. 1t is
a ball and socket joint of bone
of antediluvian Pr oportio n
Whether it belongs to the human
class is question that only a
specialist in osteology could de-
termine. To whatever species OF
animal life it belongs the relic is
undoubtedly prehistoric. About
thirty-fve years ago wood chop
per employed on the Wiley ranch
while cutting wood found the
bone sticking out of the ground
Thinking that it was a piece OF
wood he broke it off with a blow
of the axe. Upon discovery that
i. was a petrifed bone he took it
home. The longer portion OF the
bone was sent to Carson to the
Historical Society. Not being the
shape OF the femur the length and
size of the bone indicates the
enormous size OF the animal OF
which it was part Of the skeleton
The part secured by Mr.. Wilson
is on exhibit in the window of the
Lyon County Bank where it is
attracting considerable attention
