Located 25 miles west of Bismarck on the proposed line of the Northern Pacific, the party of three miners claimed to have already tunneled 70 feet into the mine, following three veins of coal, with one vein three and a half feet thick...
The little yellow finches came back to my yard last week. My cat and I spotted them about the same time. We were both sitting in front of windows, me in the TV room and the cat in the living room. My recliner is placed near a pair of corner windows looking out on an old evergreen tree. These windows have become a favorite place to watch birds and wildlife over the years.
