AFTER FINE GOLD

Recurring publicity from Minot,
N. D., tells of processes evolved to
recover fabulous values of fine Dla-
Ger gold from glacial deposits in
northwestern North Dakota but as
yet NO commercial operation has
been reported. The newest process
was patented by M. D. Knoll OF
Billings, who claims he can recov-
er the fine gold by an electro ann
algamation process. Last Chance
Mining Co. has been organized and
is now running soil and gravel
through a Knoll plant. 1t is trucked
to the Minot plant, to demonstrate
its efficiency.

On page two of this edition is an
authorized statement regarding the
operations of the Big Horn Placer
Mining corporation which this
week began commercial operations
with a dragline outfit one and a half
miles below the Big Horn canyon
on the o. e. Anderson farm.
The Journal submitted to J +
Sperry a statement of the opera
tions, based on the representations
of persons handling the sale and
distribution OF $4,000 shares of
the capitol stock in Montana The
statement was revised and rewritten
by Mr.. SperTy and at serves as his
statement of facts and eliminates
some of the statements which have
been circulated regarding the op-
ration
The Big Horn project was over
Dublicized by the parties who first
obtained the leases from the Crow
Indian council. One of the wild
statements printed in eastern news
papers is recounted in the state
ment which Mr.. Sperry approved.
1t indicated that Big Horn canyon,
which has never been recognized
as a gold bearing district, would
produce half as much gold as the
entire state OF Montana has pro-
duced in its remarkable history
since the discovery of gold. Such
statements caused conservative min
ing men to discount the entire
enterprise.
Mr. Sperry made these changes or
omissions from the statement sub
mitted:
omitted the claim that two
1O,OOO-yard Bucyrus dredges are
to be placed in operation by Octo-
Der 1, 1888.
2 Corrected the statement that
John Lyle Harrington, is chief
engineer" of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. MIR. Harrfng-
ton is consulting engineer" of the
RFC.
g Omitted the statement that
$4,000 has been expended in pre-
liminary work in securing 1O2 pa
tented claims and THE Indian lease
Omitted the statement that
testing has revealed AN average of |
$1.63 per yard. Instead, Mr. Sperry |
says that values have run from IL
cents to over $1,000 per yard in
free gold
The Journal lacks these facts:
Percentage of black sand con-
tanned On the graVels
Number of drill holes COM
pIeted
Yards actually blocked out by
systematic drilling
Actual results obtained in |
present dragline operation.
The Journal last week received
a report that the operation of a
''dredge' had shown actual recov-
cry of SO per yard. Later reports 1
said that the machine had not yet |
reached bedrock The equipment |
is similar to that used on Wash
ington gulch, Benton gulch and !
other Union washer-equipped OPP +
erations. The SO per yard account
may be discounted
The Journal has received numer-
GUS inquiries regarding this OPP
Grafton from subscribers and pros
pective investors in Great Falls,
Missoula, Billings and elsewhere,
as result of the lack of accurate
information
A further statement will be pub
lished in the Journal next week

YORKTON,SASK Reports of an

competent oil men. A showing OF

HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN YEAR
Has Washington's Death And Landing OF Napoleon
OLD PAPER OWNED BY MRS. BIRCHELL

A reputedly one hundred thirty.
seven year old newspaper is own
ed by Mrs. William Burchell of
sol Whitehead street in this city.
1t is the "Ulster County Gazette.
Publifhed at Kingston. .Satur-
day, January A, 1900" 1t con-
tains the death and burial of
George Washington, a famous
Samuel Adams speech to Con-
gress, and the return of Napoleon
to France.
Mr.. Clarence Ward, radio OPP
orator at the local Naval Station,
was shown the paper and realiz-
ing it might be very valuable,
was granted permission to mail il
to a friend in New York City who
is interested in old publications.
The value and authenticity of
the document is expected to be
established through him.
Some of the salient features of
the yellowed document: Samuel
Freer and Sons were publishers.
There is a present book publish
ing company by the same name,
which may have evolved from the
old newspaper. The Samuel
Adams speech was on the occa-
sion of second rising of Penn
sylvanians against the Constitu-
ton. Volunteers and the militia
quelled the uprising. The ia
nous Poem on the Death OF
Washington, by a Young Lady, is
printed in the issue. 1t was com
posed s'for the Gazette" and is
probably the first publication.
The resolution of Congress on
Washington's death, December Is,

"first in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his eoun-
trymen," occur among the news

that the right lung had been
punctured. This morning he said
Richardson was doing as well as
can be expected.

TOURIST SEASON
BLOOMS AT LAST

There is one sure sign that
the tourist season has bloom
ed at last, and that from the
farthest hinterland, the sun
hunters have made the long
trek and landed safely square
in the middle of the Fountain
of Perpetual Youth, states S.
c. Singleton, secretary of the
Key West Chamber of Com
merce.
Each season we wait for
this verification of the in
vasion by actual strangers,
and when it is reported, the
Chamber of Commerce dusts
off the counter again and gets
the glad hand limbered up,
states the secretary.
And now it has happened.
The season is open. The re-
port has reached the com.
merce body that an
agile visitor was earnestly
trying to corral a lizard, firm
ly convinced all the while
he would be able to write
home and announce that he
had, single-handed, captured
a young alligator. 1t hap
pens every year. We are off
to a good start, is the an
nouncement made by Mr..
Singleton.

Excellent Program To Be
Rendered Under Direc-
ton Of Alfredo BarrosO,
Band Leader

A program has been arranged
TO be presented tonight at Colo
NAL Park by the Key West Hos
pitality Band. The concert will be
directed by Alfredo Barroso.
The musicians as well as the
audience, it is said are grateful
to the boys of the Boy Scout
Troup who have worked diligently
the past two weeks in pulling
weeds, cutting the grass and put
ting the park in a presentable
order.
Benches were repaired and re-
stored to their proper position.
1t is hoped that city officials will
try to cooperate in helping to
keep the public parks clean and
attractive so that the boy scouts
may devote their efforts to even
more important service to the
community than pulling weeds, it
is stated.
The following is the program
that will be rendered tonight:
March, The Three Musketeers-
