W. Ferris and Vivian E. Hughes
Sell Eight Placer Claims in
Esmeralda County.
CONSIDERATION IS $35,OOG
Los AngeIeanS OF Wealth PIal
to Erect a Large Plant at
BasaIt Handle Product.

VIM. Ferris, who has been assO
ciated with the Mine Workers Mer-
camille company in TonOpah for a
long period, and Vivian E. Hughes,
well known in mining circles, are
in the money. These two well known
residents have concluded deal
whereby they turn over eight placer
locations containing great deposits
of diatomaceous earth near Basalt in
Esmeralda county for a consideration
of $4,000. The purchasers were
Posey & Pollard, a Los Angeles firm
of brokers, and two payments have
already been made.
This deal has been hanging fire
for several months. Following the
making OF the first payment an in
vestigation Of titles was made by the
purchasing firm, and it was dis
covered that right of ownership was
held by quartz location, whereupon
it became necessary to make a new
filing under the placer act The
material is not a mineral deposit,
hence could not be held as a quartz
location, such as would be the case
in fullers earth, tale and kindred min
erals.
The purchasers are said to be
wealthy, as well as representing large
capital, and it is proposed to imme-
iiateIy start work in the building Of
large plant at Basalt, which is
on the line of the narrow gauge rail
road leading from Nina to Keeler,
California. The deposits are stu
ated within from one and quarter
to three miles Of the railroad, and
it is figured that the operating ex-
penses can be kept down to a mini
mum.
Diatomaceous earth is used for
about $50 different purposes, prin-
cipaI of which is the lining of steam
pipes and refrigerators and for in
sulation purposes. The new owners
claim that they have orders for over
A million dollars worth of the prod
uct in its various forms, and ex-
pect to be employing a big force of
men within the next few months.

CANDIDACY OF LEACH =. r:
IS BEING DEC0UR AGED
Efforts Are Being Made to
Have Hennepin Delegates
Drop Leach Idea
Twin City News Bureau to
Remidi; Da;lv Pioneer

Minneapolis, March 16.-Although
the election Of delegates Tuesday to
the county convention Saturday re-
suited in a majority of persons IA
>vorable to the candidacy Of Mayor
George E. Leach being elected in
Hennepin county, efforts are said to
be under way to- influence the Henne-
pin delegates to drop the idea Of vot-
ing for Leach. Arguments being
used on the delegates include the as
sertion that the money to carry on
the LEACH campaign was supplied by
the, "wets" as part Of drive to, re-
store the use Of light wines and
beer. It is an assertion that has not
been publicly proved. .
Then there is the argument that if
Colonel Leach resigns as mayor of
Minneapolis a special election must
be called and that this would cause
added and needless expense to the
taxpayers and that, therefore, Mayor
Leach should be kept where he is.
This argument is expected to ''stick"
with some of the delegates.
Complete returns show that the
delegates elected are on the Leach
ticket by large majority.

Eighteen Lots Purchased on
Fourteenth Street; Ground
to Be Broken Soon
OVER $25, 900 ALREADY -,
SUBSCRIBED FOR FUNDS
Building and Equipment Will
Be Last Word in Modern.
Institutions of Kind -.

The much talked-of Lutheran hos
pital is about to become realized
fact in the city of Bemidji. For
some months a faithful few have
been actively engaged in raising
funds with which to build this build
ing and now comes the word that
ground is to be broken in the early
spring. ....,..I
A deal for the sight was consum-
mated last week, whereby the new
hospital association became the own
er of Is lots in Block. 10 of this city.
The property lies on Fourteenth
street between Bemidji and Bixby
avenues and comprises nearly three
fourths of the entire block.
The new hospital will consist of a
main building, rising three stories
high, over a nine-foot basement. The
front will be 105 feet long and 1O2
feet deep, consisting of two parallel
wings. g.,
The hospital will be entirely fire.
proof and of the most modern con-
struction and arrangement. There
will be 40 rooms, giving facilities for
nearly 600 patients.
Three operating rooms will be pro:
.vided, one for the exclusive use of
specialists in eye, ear, nose and
throat diseases, all of which will be
equal in equipment to any in the
country.
The new building will be of hand
some -architecture-a real adornment
to the city.
The plan is now to begin inmedi-
ate{ construction Of the west wing
and work will begin as soon as the
frost is out, of the ground.
More. than $4,000 has already
beeA subscribed, a large sum of which
has been paid into the treasury.
Rev. L. J. Jerdee, who has been &C.
tive in raising the funds for this new
institutions, is deserving of much
credit for his persistent work. and
effort 1t is planned. to retain his
services in the work so we'll begun,
until the full amount of 500, 900 has
been subscribed.
The building, when completed, will
contain such important and up-to-
date features as: medical research
laboratories, rooms for X-ray work,
operating rooms for clean and un-
clean cases, maternity department,
fire-proof and sound-proof compost
ton floors and walls, silent signal
system, utensil sterilizers on each
floor, vacuum cleaning system, sep
arate diet kitchen, record and chart
room, etc. In fact, it will be the last
word in modern hospital building
construction. 49, =. 80
The time is ripe in Bemidji to build
a new hospital. With the large ter
ritory served, it means an added op-
portunity for not only Bemidji but
the entire community as we'll. The
Lutheran hospitals in other cities are
noted for their efficiency, and a case
is yet to be found where they have
not been successful. This is due to
the years Of experience in building
and maintaining hundreds of like in.
stitutions. The cost Of maintaining
the hospital will be remarkably low
as the Lutheran boards have worked
out efficient methods excelled by
none

STATE TEACHERSPLAY
HIGH SCHOOL TONIGHT
Interesting Game Is Assured
When Two, Local. Squads
Clash This Evening

Rivalry for athletic honors was
started between the State Teachers
college and the Bemidji high school
last year when the girls basketball
teams met in two games, each team
winning one. Tonight the boys
team Of the two schools will meet for
the first time in what promises to be
an. exceptionally close and interesting
contest. Rivalry between these two
teams has been very keen since the
suggestion was first made that a Sc
ries of games be played to decide the
championship of the city schools.
Tonight's game is the first of a
three-game series to decide this
championship. The winning team
will be presented a silver cup be-
ing offered by the Geo. T. Baker Co.
of this city. The cup is now on dis
play at the Baker store.
DR.. J. w. Diedrich of this city has
been secured to officiate the game
and clean, fair game is assured.
Neither team is given the advantage
over the other in tonight's game and
consequently the advance "dope" in
dicates close battle. Both teams
have met number OF strong hlgh
school teams this season and won
their games by practically the same
margin, which is indicative of the
fact that the Bemidji teams are we'll
matched.
Coach +. P. Wirth of the teachers
announces that his lineup will prob
ably be as follows: right forward,
Riggs; left forward, Simons; center,
Horns; right guard, Romens; left
guard, Elliott; substitutes, Berglund,
Hermes and Greenfield.
Coach Smith has not announced his
lineup, but it is expected that Neu-
mann and Davis will start at for
wards, Henry at center, Smith and
Boyce at the guard positions.
A large attendance is urged for
this game, since the series will de-
pend largely upon the support given
this first game. The game is schcd-
uled for o'clock.
