Burlington Mine May Enter New Field
Reports from Bismarck state that
B. L. Pratt of the Republic Coal Co.
of Minneapolis accompanied by Had
ley Graves Of the Midway mine, Bur-
lington, went to Zap recently for the
purpose Of securing an option on five
quarter sections Of coal lands, includ-
ing the Zap mine which is temper
arily in the hands of receiver. In
the event Of their deal going thru it
is believed that the Republic Coal CO
which has operated the Midway mine
Burlington will transfer their equip
ment to Zap and begin operations on
an extensive scale. While the Mid
way mine had exhausted the coal on
the Seed tract, they had already made
provision for opening another mine
in Larson's Coulee where they had
leased considerable acreage, and it
was reported from Burlington recent
ly that the 500 was to build a spur
track into this coulee. If the Bis
marck report is correct it means in
all probability that the Burlington
district will lose the leading mine in
that section. The Zap properties are
said to contain the finest vein of lig-
mite in the state, and as it is known
that the Republic Co. have contem-
plated extensive shipping of Ignite
to the Twin Cities it is probably
on this account that they are secur-
ing these properties to give them a
more direct and shorter haul to mar
ket. - ..,,E .

George Johnson, died at the Johnson
home at Burlington, Saturday May
18th. The end came peacefully. For
the past two years Mrs. johnson had
suffered from pulmonary trouble and
had been taking treatment at Min
uesota sanitorium for about a year
arriving home but few weeks ago,
knowing that medical aid was help
less to combat the ravages Of the
disease. The funeral was held from
the Presbyterian church Of Burling-
ton Monday afternoon, Rev. Christ as
sisted by Rev. Hunter Of this city, an
old time friend Of the family, conduct
ing the service. Interment was at
Burlington.
Mrs. George Lynn johnson, nee
Myrtle Cora Hogy, Oldest daughter
of Mr.. T. H. Hogy and his wife, nee
Indiana Lybeck, was born July 18Th,
1898, at their country home six miles
north of Cyrus, Minnesota.
At the age of three she removed to
Cyrus, lived there with her parents
until the age j. of nine, when they
moved to Burlington, North Dakota.
She attended church and public school
at both places and in Minot. At
Minot she graduated from the Nomal
School in 1917, and the following year
began teaching at Bottineau, North
Dakota.
July Bird, 1918, she was married to
George Lynn Johnson of Burlington,
North Dakota, and they took up their
residence at the beautiful country
home one half mile southeast of town.
To this union there was born one
daughter, Gretchen Jean, born July
:3th. 1920, and baptized September
18th, 1920. This little one preceded

1921.
Mrs johnson was baptized and con-
firmed in the Lutheran Church and
with her husband, Joined the Burling-
ton Presbyterian Church October 26,
1919. The story of her relation to
the church and Sunday school is most
beautiful. She and her sister Hazel
were very faithful to it's services and
duties. When a mere child, she be-
gan playing the organ and continued
in this capacity as opportunity at
forded, for years. As she developed
her talent for playing, so Hazel de-
veloped her talent for singing, and
their music will be remembered long
in the minds of all who heard them.
Mrs. johnson and her sister also
cared tenderly for the primary child
rem of the Sunday School and their
lives will be continued in these lives,
for the Christian impression made
upon the minds of children can never
die.
Mrs. johnson lived in great patti
ence thru all of her suffering. For
over year she lived in the SAM
tarium at Pokegama, MIMI, and since
coming home this spring, her life has
been constant wonder to her friends.
God has used her Christian testimony
to strengthen the faith Of many. Her
Bible was her constant companion,
and her source Of study by day and
meditation by night. She also ex-
perienced the blessing of feeling the
invisible presence Of her Savior with
her, and the abiding presence Of the
