Mining Activities OF
Upper Clear Creek

All the lessees on the Bellvue
mine at Empire station are report
ed to have large streaks of 500 ore,
and they are correspondingly
happy.
On account of impossible con-
ditions of the wagon road, Joe
Campbell, who has large tonnage
stored at the Santiago mine, has
been unable to ship. He says.
however, that when he does begin
teams will be kept pretty busy
during the summer months.
The Wasatch company keep up
there regular weekly shipments of
concentrates, both lead and zinc.
The various properties are looking
better than ever. The ore develop
ments and general mining prog
ress are of such character as to
surprise even those who have kept
in close touch with the company's
affairs.
The streak of high-grade ore re-
Gently encountered in the Terrible
mine at Brownville continues to
improve as development progress
ses. Optimism is hardly strong
enough to express the feeling that
prevails regarding the future of
their success, which is but another
proof of what systematic develop
ment will accomplish.
The roads to the Josephine ic-
West. Argentine will soon be
open and the large tonnage of
heavy lead ore stored during the
long winter months can be shipped
to the smelters. The increased
freight and smelling charges is
going to cut figure when tonnage
is taken into account.

Owing to the lack of help and under

with the directors of cur association,
it has been decided not to hold the
usual annual seed contest this year.

this does not mean you). The usual

Thursday evening of the Tri-State
Grain Growers week.
There is urgent need Of a large
number of pure seed growers in North
Dakota. There is small band of men
doing good work. They constantly
make a good showing every year. We

you hold for sale as seed for sowing?
Do you need any seed for tn ecoming

closed blank and mail at once, and
send US half a poud sample. We can
tell you if it is worth while to clean
up and save as seed for sowing. If
you need sacks for mailing in the sam

wish to construct the seed lists early.
They are to be sent to all who wish
to buy. This ought to help you.
If you intend to buy or sell SEED.
It is best 20 have the sample tested
