DEVINE GETS TROPHIES
FROM FORT YATES REDS

Mandan, N. D., July Ex-Governor
j. M. Devine, superintendent of the
state industrial tarining. school, is
home from Cannonball with two gor
peous Sioux war bonnets which he
treasures more highly than any other
earthly possession. Mr.. Devine, who
has been state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, lieutenant governor
and governor of North Dakota, was
one Of the principal speakers at the
Cannonball victory celebration. The
occasion resulted in the greatest
gathering of Indians and whites in
the history of the reservation. A
temporary camp more than a mile
square was established. and it is asti-
mated that during the celebration,
Cannonball, usually village Of a few
hundred, housed more than 40,000
people. Indians came from reserva-
lions far away in Montana, from
South Dakota, Oklahoma and Nebras-
ka, and from the northern ranges Of
the Rockies in Canada.

DR.. f. J. Brugman is expected home
July Is, when he will resume the prac-

hospital. During his nine months alb
sence DR.. Brugman has been station

man will be accompanied by Mrs.
Brugman, who has spent the past four

Camp Travis will be of inestimable
value to him in his profession as on
an average of 60 cases were under
treatment in his section during the
entire time spent there, thus enabling
the Doctor to come in contact with
many interesting and rare cases, in
fact, during the time spent in Uncle

Brightest Rays of the New
Dawn.

Walker D. Hines, director-gen-
eral of the railroads, addressing
the order of railway conductors
at St. Louis last May, said:
There has been a strong dis
position on the part of many ele-
ments of the public to say at once
that the deficit the government
promised to pay the railroads a
rental of nine hundred millions a
year and the net income lacked
two hundred millions of being
sufficient was due to the fact
of government control. The fact,
however, is that it was due to
WAR CONDITIONS and not to the
fact of government control.
And yet the railroad controlled
press continues to talk about
the failure of government own

at an enormous saving in fuel
and cost of operation. There is
absolutely nothing gained to the
country between here and the
capitol city except the prestige
or pulp enjoyed by Phoenix of
having two trains where one will
do. By combining these two
west bound passenger trains at
Wickenburg a 130-mile haul can
be obviated and the train crews
from Prescott could stop at WICK
enburg twelve hours, making
this a junction terminal, where
they would enjoy cheaper house
rents and a more salubrious eli
mate and better living conditions
than the sweltering heat of sum-
mer, with it's clouds of mosquito
and fly pests for which Phoenix
is notorious besides the oppor-
tunity of the railroad men to be
at home long enough to get &C
quainted with their wives and
families. Coming from Prescott
train crews could deliver their
trains to the main line here the
haul to Phoenix and back obvi-
ated by saving enough to put
on an extra California Limited
train to take care of S. P. suspend
ed trains announced by the rail
way administration. This would
give Phoenix her coveted desire
of main line service, routing all
thru mails and passengers from
the west to the south and east
via Phoenix, Maricopa and east,
over what would soon become a
very popular route.

elling same direction on the same
track, are two passenger trains,

only 7 cars, when one engine and
one crew could handle the seven
cars making up the two trains,

one-room affair, ample for pres

building used temporarily for as

small blacksmithshop which
should be enlarged. Other i'm
provements contemplated are, a
change room for the men with
showers, that await approval of
the management.
All dead work, except timber
ing is practically done. In 10 days
unless something unforeseen may
occur, | will have the shaft tim
bered to the bottom and air drills

our equipment rev truck and
pump. | have been obliged to
do considerable road work on the
road to the mine; also make re-
pairs on the road which had been
washed out several times by the
recent rains. Road work to and
around the shaft has all been
completed.
The most expensive feature in
erecting our gallows frame was
building up the same as bridge
work, of platform to set it on,
so as to be level with the collar
of the shaft, which was raised
some seven feet so as to be on
level with the machinery. This
took both time and money; but
these perplexities are now over
with and all energies will be at
once concentrated on the shaft.
Conditions encountered in the
shaft are as follows: We started
the shaft at what seemed to me
to be close to the hanging wall of
a large ledge, about at the place
where our engineer advised. On
striking the ledge after going
thru slide debris from the noun
tain, we encountered a leached
porous gangue matter. AS sink
ing progressed, slips" crossed
the shaft many times with a
pitch of about As degrees. Some
Of them showed chaIcopyrite in
small particles. One slip in par
ticular occurred as a blue schist,
number of feet wide; some of it
showed good values in chalcopy-
rite. After acquiring a depth of
about so feet a specular mangan-
ese Gaping was encountered,
with considerable lime and more
slips carrying copper. We have
not anything permanent as yet,
and | cannot say positively what
we have. At present depth nei-
ther foot wall nor hanging shows.
All the ore in this country, at
limited depth, has occurred in
lenses or pipes on either hang
ing, or foot wall. We have very
encouraging prospects and as
depth is attained, by prosecuting
we will be able to determine more
about it. Local people regard
these conditions and showing as
the best in the district. Miners
recommend it, who are working
here, aa a coming mine. We
have wonderful surface show
