is producing gold, silver and lead and some copper from them.
 Capitalization consists of $15,000,- 900 in $10 par value common stock authorized, of which $f4 4,460,000 is outstanding. The stock was issued with down payment of $2.50 and final payment of $750 was made in May, 1915.
 Dividends of $55, 5,OO0 were paid in 1897, but none since. It is an- ticipated, however, that the com pany will be placed on dividend basis shortly, after funded debt has been liquidated.
 The company is presently liqui- dating it's first mortgage per cent
 bond issue, which was due March
 Is, 1929, redeemable at no. Un-
 paid interest on these bonds in 1927
 amounted to $850,991 and funded
 debt outstanding approximately $1,-
 494 ,0O0.
 At the close of 1928 funded debt was reduced 5000 and interest pay able $370,00o, to a total of $482, ,000. During 1929 the entire unpaid in- terest of $482 ,000 was liquidated and funded debt was reduced to $893, ,000, A total of $77o,00O in funded debt and back interest was liquidated in 1928, and $882,0 in 1929. It is probable, therefore, that the re- maining $893,00o in funded debt outstanding at the beginning of the year, will be cleared up during 1880.
 The shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and San Francisco Curb and ranged from |1A to 27s in 1919, 75 cents to $3 | in 1920, 50 cents to SITS in 1921, I25 cents to $2 in 1922; 75 cents to IlB in 1923; x to $50 in 1924, $l to $2.50 in 1925, % to $2 in 1926, $1 to $2.25 in 1927, $1 to $10 in 1928h A to 10A in 1929 and ST i to SIS, in 1930 It is presently quoted around 8.
 The balance sheet as of Decem- | Der 31, 1929, shows total assets Of SIT ,485 ,00O, compared with $18074,- GOO in 1928 and sl8,269 ,ooO in 1927. The depreciation reserve was in creased from $1,3Oo,o0O to $l,513,OoO in 1929 and current liabilities cut from $820,000 to $182,000. Current assets are $2O0,0O0 in excess of cur rent liabilities at the present time, but showed a deficiency of $269,OOO compared with current liabilities Tn 1928 and S805, ,O00 in 1927 The splendid record has con- tinued in 1880, with gross of $751; 900 in January and $255,000 in Feb ruary and net profits of $49,25O in
 January and s55,90o in February. Part of the earnings in these two
 months were used to reduce funded

N0rfUeSt Closing
Out Sale DrdUS
Many

The most spectacular closing out
sale ever held in Plentywood common
ced here last Friday morning when
the Northwest Service store opened
its doors to a huge crowd of shop
pers. In less than five minutes it
became necessary to lock the doors
again as the store was crowded SO
that no one could be served by the
ten clerks in attendance.
AS soon as the first customers had
made their purchases the doors were
opened and again the store was jam
med. In fact, time after time the
doors had to be locked to keep the
crowds from packing the place too
tight.
Many customers came back three
and four times and finally tired OF
standing around waiting and slipped
around the back way and entered the
store where packages and boxes OF
groceries were being loaded by the
delivery force.

TAKES POISON BY
MISTAKE; RECEIVERS

An almost fatal mistake in taking
bi-choride of mercury in place Of as
pirin occurred Saturday evening at the
John Pace ranch south of Redstone,
when his son John, 16 years old, took
a tablet of the b~i-choride to relieve a
slight attack of influenza and head
ache.
He became violently i'll at once and
it was then discovered the mixing of
the medicine. First aid was admins
tered by giving him the white Of
eggs which induced vomiting. He
was then rushed to the Plentywood
Hospital and placed under the care
of DR.. Campbell.
Altho still very i'll, the boy is we'll
out of danger.
An instance like this brings up the
old, old story of taking poison by
mistake. In many homes this is guar
ded against by attaching a small bell
to every bottle or box containing
poisonous drugs, so that even tho it
NAV be dark, no one need make the
mistake Of getting the wrong kind of
medicine.

Indications Are
Oil Drilling Will
Start Very Soon

AS reported in The Herald three
weeks ago that drilling at the Archer
test we'll would soon commence, we
now learn that the crew is on the
grounds again.
Clarence Prosise will again be head
driller, and his wife will cook for the
crew. They have already moved in
to the camp buildings.
A large oil truck arrived here on
Tuesday night loaded with much drill
ing equipment which was taken to
the well site early Wednesday morn
ing.
We are mighty glad that drilling
will again be resumed and that this
territory will be given a test which
will settle the question of whether
there is oil or gas in commercial
quantities in this vicinity.
The drilling crew has not made any
statement as to when work will ac-
tually commenIe but we asked Mr..
Prosise how long he expected to re-
main here and he replied that he hop
ed to be here for a good long time,
and at least until this first hole is
drilled into commercial production.

FALL IDEAL FOR WAR AGAINST
NOXIOUS WEEDS With CHL0RATE

According to reports from several
states on observation made during
the growing season Of 1880 on weed
patches which were treated with
CELEBRATES late in the fall of 1923 and
1929, the months of September, DC
tober and November are an excellent
period for the applications of these
chemicals. Practically no growth will
occur following late applications and
the results will be found as satisfaG-
tory next spring as will be found on
areas treated earlier in the season.
Moderately severe frosts prior to
treatment have been shown to ex-
ert no material effect upon the per-
centage of kill obtained.
Users are urged to apply dust, or
a more concentrated solution of Cal
cium Chlorate by dissolving one and

each gallon of water and applying the
solution in a mist form instead of a
