MILL At NEWPASS
ESTABLISHES
A RECORD
1OO-TON PLANT is COMPLETED
In UNDER THREE
MONTHS

Completion of the hundred-ton
cyanide plant of the Nevada Austin
Mines company, at Newpass, Lander
county, which was begun on Septem-
Dor Is, was announced today from
the company's local offices by
frank M%argrave, the president. The
construction of the mill in less than
three months time, he says, will pro-
badly set a record for the state for
quick mill erection. The time us
ually required for a hundred-ton
mill generally runs from six months
to a year.
Because of the delay in a ship
sment of engines, starting the mill
has been put off until January 1,
although a test run will probably
be made a few days in advance of
that date.
Douglas Muir, who designed the
mill and was in charge during it's
COuSIT uCtiOu, AdS DCCu dppOlutCu
mine and mill superintendent, to
take charge of the operations at the
property.
The property is located at New
pass, about % miles west of Austin,
and IS miles from Ledlie, a station
on the Nevada Central railroad. The
cres produced are principally gold,
carrying some values in silver.
During the period of mill con
struction," said Margrave, mot
much development work was car
ried on in the mine, the principal
energy being devoted to getting the
mill up and ready for immediate
operation.
I'VE continued driving the main
working tunnel, and put in raises
and connections with the levels
above. The main working tunnel
opens the vein to a depth of 400
feet.
"Since encountering the ore in the
tunnel level we have advanced 500
feet all the way in ore The aver
age values run to approximately SIG
a ton. At the face of the tunnel
where we are working at present,
the vein shows five feet in width,
with values running $40 a ton.
1.-THE mine has beer we'll opened
up. and a good tonnage of ore has
been put on the dumps to insure
steady operations at mill capacity
from the time we begin regular
running in the mill.
After January l l expect thai
the company will employ in the
reighborhood of so men in the mine
and mill.
II am especially pleased at the
rapid work which has been done in
getting our mill in operation. The
plant, which is an all slime, cya-
hide process, was built under many
handicaps, including a serious short
age of materials, transportation
difficulties and delays, and during
the period of general labor short
age,
Had it not been for the delay in
receiving our power engines for the
mill, we could have been in opera
ton by December 10, as the foun-
dations were laid ready for them,
and all of the equipment in the mill
assembled and ready for the power
to turn them over.
I'm naming Douglas Muir as
superintendent, we are putting in
charge of the property the man who
designed the mill. is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the ores to be treated
and who is entirely familiar with
the Nevada Austin property"
Margrave acquired the Nevada
Austin property about IS months
ago. A year ago he incorporated
the present company, financed most
ly by Nevada Capital. = Reno Ga

lington, was returning to Burlington
from trip to Minot Sunday evening,
his car collided with large WHY'S
Knight touring car driven by "Bob''
Palda of Minot. The accident occur
red near the old Leydecker mine west

ously damaged by the impact that they
had to be hauled to Minot for repairs
None of the occupants of the Palda
car were injured but Mr.. Werner was
thrown against the steering wheel OF
his machine with such force that for a
time it was feared that his condition
was critical. Restoratives were ap-
piled and he was finally revived suffic-
iently to permit his being removed to
his home. Fortunately Burlington
car driven by Alvin Miller happened
along and took Mr.. Werner aboard and
a quick run was made to a physician
At latest reports Mr.. Werner was able
to be about again but still feels the
effects of the shake-up.

10000 Acre Farmer Visits Minot.

Albert Solberg, merchant prince,
farmer and capitalist of York, was in
the city Monday enroute to Montana,
where he has large real estate inter-
,ests. Mr.. Solberg informed a repre-
sentative of the Independent that he
would have 5000 acres into wheat this
season and that the seed was already
in the ground. In addition to his
grain growing, Solberg also farms a
tract Of some 5000 acres, raising corn,
oats, hay and alfalfa. He has a fine
herd of Shorthorn cattle and fine
bunch of Poland China hogs. He says
that in spite Of light crops and wea-
ther conditions, he has made his farms
pay well during every year he has OPP
Grated them. At York, Mr.. Solberg is
interested with Mr.. Studness under
the firm name Of Studness & Solberg,
one of the largest mercantile firms in
the state. At first sight one would
take solberg for "kid-glove" farmer,
but the illusion is quickly dispelled
when you get into conversation with
this keen, shrewd man Of affairs. He
is hustler and is one of the main
spokes in the wheel of progress which
is making things hum thruout this
great state of North Dakota.

WINNIPEG TOOK FIRST
GAME FROM M|N0T
Crowd of 1900 Saw Opening League
Game This Afternoon-
Was 6 to 3.

With President Shaw pulling the
Stars and Stripes to the top Of the flag
pole, with other flags being shot into
the air, with a crowd of 1900 enthus-
iastic fans, and the umpire's cry of
"play ball." Minot was ushered into
the realm of league baseball Thurs
day afternoon.
With Winnipeg lined up against
them, the Minot Northern League
team opened it's season here on Thurs
day. If the opening game and the
circumstances surrounding it can be
taken as a criterion, the future of
league baseball in Minot is a very
bright one indeed.
Fully 1900 loyal enthusiastic fans
saw the opening game and it is a
pleasant thing to realize that one
heard but few remarks other than
kindly and encouraging. The game
demonstrated our team as an aggrega-
ton Of gentlemanly, clean-cut ath-
letes, who, if one can judge by their
first appearance, will be right there
in the accounting for the pennant.
The fact that Winnipeg won the
first game probably detracts from the
glory of the opening, but it was one
Of those breaks, which make baseball
so popular, in that Burdau, who pitch
ed a mastery game for Minot fol
eight innings, went to pieces in the
last, which gave Winnipeg their start
and before Burd, who was sent to
Burdau's rescue, could stop them they
had secured five runs and the game
The game in itself had held nothing
spectacular. Each unit of the team
pulled his pound and was met by the
same effort on the part of Winnipeg
The entire game was a display Of air
ror, and Winnipeg had that. Taken
all in all, Minot should be pleased with
its team and accord Manager Branti-
gan and his boys the loyalty and sup
port that will make them winners and
league baseball for Minot success.
The score by innings follows:

UNUSUAL CHANCE
FOR INVESTMENT
YOungman Land Company to Place
Large Addition on Sale Next Fri
day Afternoon

Arrangements have been completed
for another big sale of lots by the
Frank w. 9oungman Land Company.
short time ago a large number Of
lots were sold in the Normal Park ad-
dition by this company, and there was
such demand for more that the Blais-
dell-Bird addition has been purchased
outright and this will be sold under
practically the same conditions as the
Normal Park property.
The sale is scheduled to take place
at / O'Clock Friday afternoon, May II,
and it is expected that there will be
an unusual demand for the lots. Hun
dreds of people tried to secure lots in
the Normal Park addition but were
unable to secure them because of the
great rush to purchase the property
The lots which will be sold Friday
afternoon are extra fine. They have
been cultivated and the soil is excep-
tionally rich and fertile and ready for
gardening purposes. The lots will be
sold somewhat cheaper than before
but the same terms will apply to all
purchases the same as formerly. The
payments will be one dollar down and
fifty cents per week for each lot and
there will be no taxes or interest for
three years, the company agreeing to
take care of these payments for that
length of time.
The Blaisdell-Bird addition is sit
uated along side of the Normal Park
property and is on the main road to
Wildwood Park. This is an excellent
chance to make a sure investment 1t
will mean but a small payment each
week and bip retIlrns later on If ia
an opportunity which is worth follow
ing up.
The company has made arrange
ments to take prospective buyers to
and from the lots by auto free Of
charge. Any persons desiring to go
out before the sale may do so by call
ing at the Youngman office. All lots
are marked so that anybody can pick
them out very easily.
The company has also planned to
give $50 bonus to each of the first
ten persons who build houses on the
lots.

"Flag Dance Was Big Success.

rag DdNCc w DIS Dig cuCGGSS.
The dance given at the Armory to-
night by the musicians of the city for
the purpose Of securing funds to buy
a flag for Company D, was one of the
most successful social events that has
ever been held in the city. Something
like 1926 tickets were sold and the cap
acity of the Armory was sadly taxed.
A large orchestra furnished the music,
which was excellent, and altogether
the event was most successful. The
prime purpose Of the dance was to Sc
cure funds for the purchase Of beau
tiful silk flag to be used as Company
DIS standard, but the sale Of tickets
was SO large that there will be a nice
sum left, which will be turned over to
Company d to be used as their needs
most demand. The flag has already
been ordered and it was hoped to have
it here in time to display at the dance,
but for some reason the shipment did
not reach Minot in time for this A
tracer indicates that the flag will ar
rive in Minot tomorrow.
The committee in charge of pur-
chasing the flag, after thoroughly
Investigating, bought the best flag that
could be found. 1t is made of heavy
silk, with silk fringe and conforms
in all respects to the U. S. Army re-
quirements. It will be a banner that
any company of soldiers would be es-
pecially proud to march behind.
The members of the musicians
union are to be congratulated upon
the success Of their undertaking and
the patriotic spirit they have displayed,
and the enthusiasm and energy that
has been evident since the time that
the dance was decided upon proves
conclusively that there is not a
"slacker" in the bunch.
