INS. Of GROUND
Mining in two Inches of ground,
may gound unreasonable, but it is
really true, according: to tjie writer
ia the New York Evening Post,
Did you ever stop to consider what
becomes of all the lead fired from
fhq shells of trapshooters' guns. Of
course you know trapshooters uhoot<
over the same grounds week in and
week out. [Therefore the constant
shooting over nractically the same
territory makeg lead mines, for bo
tae aim good or bad, the l©ad fin
ally falls to the ground. Far sight
ed contractors have seen the busi
uess possibilities in, going after this
mining business.
At T*rominent clubs where many
squade shoot every week it is only
a matter of a few years when it is
immensely profitable far the minors.
About three yeara ago the ground
in front of this traps at the (iu Pont
Gun Club was mined! and a pile of
lead of 23 tons was the result. A
portion, of the grounds of a club at
Columbus, Ohio, was put through,
the sieve and 26 tons resulted. A
year ago a second trip) was made to
the du Pont ClUli at Wilmington
Dela., aal results equal to the
firs* attempt ware obtained. Other
club grounds are now undergoing
similar treatments.
The methods <xf securing this
lead are simple, plots of ground
&bou» 3x5 are Skinned about two
inche? deep. This topsoil is then
put in piles and allowed to. stand
two or three days until it dries. It
is then put into a large coarse cyl
inder sieve, which gets ridi of the
earth containing no load. Then it
is pu* through a fine sieve and
mere dirt is removed. If the earth
sticks several screenings are neces
sary. Then, the remainder of the
shooting territory is handled in the
same manner. On grounds like the
du Pont Club it takes only 60 lbs of
| earth to give 1 lb. of lead.

WAS CIVILIZED
JMankato> — Prof. W. B. Nicker
son of Epworth, la., who has been
makin< extensive excavations on the
aife of an old Indian village neaj
Cambria, in this county, and In
some Indian mounds in the vicinity,
has completed his work for the
Minnesota Historical Society.
Prof. Nickerson found that the
Indian, village wag situated on, the
bluff overlooking the Minnesota
River Valley some 500 years ago,
and: has unearthed much) pottery,
weapons, household tools and bones.
Ho is of the opinion, that the
Mandon Indians may; have Inhabited
the locality which might account for
many evidences of somei degree "of
civilization, as these Indians Were
lighter in color (than, others and
arq "believed to have had some white
bipod ia their veins.
