Early "reminiscences
c Ss'.::1fa % @70aav. Z: Of Cavalier County

The following has been furnished
the historical committee of Cavalier
county by c. w Andrews, of Wal
halla, who modestly insists on with
holding his name and those of the
friends to whom he refers. The ar
tlcle, however, is considered of such
value by the committee, that it has
determined, even at the risk of Mr..
Andrews annoyance to publish it and
give his name, without which its
value as a chapter in the early his
tory of Cavalier county, would have
but little worth. There is no part of
our story more characteristic of west
ern life than the happy point of view
and line spirit Of its acceptance by
one who is not now (aithough in ex-
cellent circumstances ashamed of his
first humble home. We want more
such experiences and hope that MIR.
Andrews will continue his reminis-
censis, giving US the names and dates
along the way, especially where the
episodes of the narrative bear rela-
tion to Cavalier county. THE His

METHODS OF USING
LIGNITE ARE SHOWN
Report of Dean Babcock of University
School of Mines is Published

The possibilities OF the use OF
North Dakota Ignite are of vital
Importance to the state. Dr. Earl
j. Babcock, Dean of the college Of
mining engineering at the University
of North Dakota, has recently pre-
scented the results OF experiment and
study on Ignite problems in Bulletin
80, published by the Department of
the Interior. Economic Methods Of
Utilizing Western Lignites'' is the
title of the publication.
The extent of Ignite deposits is
discussed in the Bulletin together
with the purpose and scope of the
investigations which have been car
ried on. Tests which have been
made from time to time in the Heb
ron sub-station of the state school
of mines are described. The pro.
duction of lignitegas is interestingly
discussed a number Of diagrams and
considerable data being presented by
the author. Experiments dealing
with the briquetting of Ignite form
the basis of considerable discussion.
The writer takes up the character
of briquetts made by the different
processes in use.
In this summary, DR.. Babcock
says: Ito one thoroughly familiar
with the great extent Of the Western
Ignite deposits, their limited develop
ment, and the comparatively simple
methods that has thus far been
adopte4 in their utilization as fuel,
any Investigations looking to 3 pos.
sib]e and increased utilization OF
these vast deposits must at once bt
tance.
From the results obtained b. the
methods being developed at the
school of mines and the suh-statio.
of the University OF North Dakota
there seems little doubt but tha
the briquetting and the production
of gas from Ignite can in the naa
future be put Oh q commercially sat
isfactory basis.
The devclopemeot o.; methods 10
the utilization OF low grade Goa
wi prove Of much value 20 thos
communities nearest the great lignit
deposits in the West In some 0
these the Ignite could be converte
into electricity, which in turn ccul
S be sent to surrounding towns and vii
lages, tus distributing power an
light from numerous centra) powe
paots. Such an arrangement woui
not only be a great saving Of OF
n fuel resources but would also resu
in the establishment of many indus
tries that can be developed by aDur
9 dant and cheap electric power.

ANACONDA GETS OPTION
ON BOLIVIA MINES
CorOcoro First, II Is Said, OF
South American Deals.

Confirmation Of The Tribunes cable
message from Paris 10 the effect that
Anaconda Copper interests had an op.
tion on the mines of Corocoro United
Copper Mines, Limited, Of Bolivia, was
obtained locally yesterday. John y
Ryan, president, refused TO comment
on the transaction, but in other re-
sponsible quarters it was said the es-
sential details outlined were true.
1t was limited that the Corocoro deal
may be but the beginning Of efforts e
get options on other South American
mining properties by the Anaconda
B. 3. Thayer, vice-president, sailed
several weeks ago, and II was under
stood that 20 him was intrusted the
work of investigating whatever mines
may be acquired.
The company upon which Nr. Ryan
and his associates have just acquired
an option was organized ten years ago
under the laws Of Great Britain, with
a capitalization of 100000, shares Il
par. The present directors are Baron
Rene de BATE, chairman; G. T. Crane
f. +. Harrington. J. L. Barber. A. Ber-
thin, Noel Berthin, II. NJ. Kersey, c.
Portals, l.. Monnier and l.. Charbon-
mel.
The property comprises some 1000
acres in the mountainous district OF
Central Bolivia. The principal mines
are the Vizcachani. Santa Rosa AMI
Guallatiri. Owing to the remote loca-
tion of the mines, past production has
been small compared with possibilities
II the Anaconda interests exercise their
option, it is understood they will pro-
vide adequate transportation facilities

STATE DISCOUNT BANKS
FORM PROTECTIVE BODY
Organization Will Oppose Ad-
verse Legislation.

As the outcome of an agitation
among members Of the New York State
Bankers Association for the formation
of a separate body TO include the state
banks of discount. a section has been
organized similar to the Trust Com
pany Association, the Savings Bank
Association and the Private Bankers
Association. The officers OF the new
section are Elliott c. MeDougall, of
Buffalo. president; John II. Gregory,
Of Rochester. vice-president, and Paul
t. Bonner, secretary-treasurer
In banking circles the step was
looked upon as compromise on the
recommendations originally submitted
ty the head OF the State Banking De-
partment, Eugene Lamb Richards. The
organization of a separate section for
the state banks is the result Of COM
plants by their officials that the inter
ests Of the banks Of discount were not
being properly safeguarded as the
trust companies and savings banks are
through their separate organizations.
With the conflicting viewpoints be-
tween the Federal Reserve system and
the state banks 1t was also pointed out
that the state institutions needed iden-
tihcation with a separate body, to be
in 8 position to look after their own
interests should they come in contact
with the national banks Another
phase of the sections activities will be
to oppose adverse legislation at Al
bany
The new section of state banks OF
discount. it was announced, will have
no headquarters, no paid officers, no
conventions and no annual trips. 1t is
expressly designed not 70 interfere in
any way with the New York State
Bankers Association.
