Mica Mill Proposed
Tuesday evening a special
called meeting of the Commer
cial Club was held at Secretary
Ridgell's office to consider the
proposition offered by L. M.
McBride, W. B. Thomas and R.
E. McBride, who compose the
Electric Mica Company, o f
Custer, S. D. They fully ex
plained everything and everyone
present took great interest.
Wednesday evening another
meeting was called and some
very fine samples of Mica from
the Compiiny's mines were on
exhibition.
Their proposition is as follows:
They offer one-third of their
capital stock of $100,000 to the
people of Alliance for 15,000.
Of this sum $7,500 will be used
to erect and equip a mill here;
$3,000 will be used to put in
mining machinery at Custer,
and the balance will be used for
the production of raw material
and for labor and power charges
in Alliance. The Company now
has five year contracts with 15
mica producers at Custer giving
I them a supply of 235 tons per
1 month at $11 per ton.
Their estimate on the profit of
cutting and milling 200 tons of
mica per month is $7,700. 75
people would be employed at
the mill and a pay roll of $72,
000 to $100,000 per year dis
bursed here. The mill would be
expected to reach its full capaci
ty in eight months.
A committee consisting of W.
W. Wood, I. E. Tash, and R. E.
Knight was chosen to investi
gate more fully. They meet at
four o'clock this afternoon. If
their report is satisfactory as it
looks like it will be, no trouble
will be experienced in raising
the money. It is a pleasure to
observe the interest which the
business men of Alliance give to
any meritorious enterprise which
would mean a greater Alliance.

threshed grain of. sufficiently

Married
Miss Hazel Heck, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. G. Beck of Alliance, and
Arthur IJ. Conner, son of Mr. and Mrs,
A, F. Conner of Colorado Springs, were
quietly married Satuiday. The mar
riage came somewhut as a surprise to
the many friends of the happy young
people.
Miss Hazel Heck is one of the most
popular young Alliance ladies, having
grown to womanhood in this city. She
is a graduate of the Alliance High
School and the Lincoln Business Col
lege. She has been employed by the
V. V Norton store as stenogragher
and cashier for some time past. Mr.
Coiifiors tiH a wide acquaintance here
and is employed by the Phillips Grocery
Company.
The Herald joins in wishing them a
long and happy married life.
Heart Party
Life, with all its stern realities, occa
sionally breaks out in a halo of light and
joy so resplendent the clouds vanish far
in the distance and we dwell in the realms
of ecstacy for a lime. Perhaps the pleas
ant event at the home of W. S. Acheson
Tuesday afternoon in honor of Miss Ruth
Aspedwall might have been a counterpart
of this.
Miss Nelle Acheson was the hostess of
the afternoon and in her usual charming
manner made the guests feel perfectly at
home. The spacious dining room was
very tastily decorated with hearts and
cupids.
Miss Nellie O'Donnell won first prize at
hearts, which was a beautiful hand-painted
plate. Miss Virginia Broome won the
consolation prize; both of which were pre
sented to Miss Aspenwall as a momento of
the occasion,
A delicious three-course luncheon was
served, after which the party was enter
tained by instrumental selections by the
guests.
The A. 13. Clarke Horse Sales Com
pany will hold their next big sale at
Miles City, Montana, on September
12. 13, 14. 15. They will sell on these
