pointed by our association, Mr.. Long
had an immense fund of local statis-

workings the ore must be separated
from the rock formations. Mr.. Long
brot back several specimens which he
has on exhibition at the First Inter
national Bank. The lead mining in
terests have made the government a
proposal similar to the one which the
copper producers offered, viz, that
whatever lead or zinc is necessary for
the governments use would be sold
to Uncle Sam at the average price of
those metals during the past ten years
which means at price practically
one-half the present market value Of
hose metals. Thus it will be seen that
the big mining interests are "doing
their bit" to help the government in
the present crisis. Mr.. Long says
that everywhere he went, whether in
Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee or in
the Twin Cities, he found that the pub
lie was cognizant of Minot's growing
Importance, which is proof positive
that Minot has come in for a goodly
share Of favorable advertising from
visitors and thru the public press. At
St. Paul, where he was the guest of

eral secretary of the association that

says, his committee is in almost daily
