The Saginaw Courier has discovered a
new firm in this section. In its annual

can.
Mr.. John WEIGH, United States Tres
pass agent, has been spending a couple
of weeks in this vicinity looking after
land trespasses. He says some home
steaders have allowed the pine to be cut
from their lands before they secured
their titles to the same, which renders
them liable to penalty.
HI. Fl. Pike, of Niles, Mich, arrived in
the village Monday evening and favored
the TRIBUNE with call Tuesday. He
visited this section for the purpose of ar
ranging for the building of summer
resort hotel upon Mullet Lake. Mr.. Pike
has already well established reputation
as hotel keeper and will undoubtedly
make success of such an undertaking.
We would suggest to the editor of our
contemporary that he borrow bible and
read it with the care he evidently devOtes
to the TRIBUNE, each week, when he will
be surprised to ascertain the number of
places other sons of God than Christ are
referred to. He can find the text upon
which Rev. C. A. Marsh based his dis
course of last Sunday morning upon
The Glory of the Sons of GOd," in the
first chapter of John and twelfth verse.
We are in receipt of the Census Bulle-
tin No 40 from the Department of Inter-
iOr, census Office, giving the official re-
suit of the recent enumeration in fifty

Ored, the latter including 103 Indians.

eral specimens of which have been as
sayed, yielding an average of ST. 700 pei
ton. The Silver City Chronicle an
nOunces the sale of a One-third interest
in Eastern Star lode, in the same dis
trict, for $18,6O0 cash. Mr.. Kitchen is
at present in New Mexico looking after
the claim. We hope the "bOys" may find
millions in it.
A petition has been sent to the Legis.
lature by the citizens of town 33 north
range west. asking that said town be
detached from TuscarOra and organized
into new township. This was former
ly part of the defunct township OF
Nunda, and as Nunda was a failure We
are inclined to doubt the wisdom of try
ing to erect new township out of por
ton of its remains. 1t is evident thu
citizens of that town have not mucf
confidence in being able to induce thu
Board of Supervisors to grant their petit
ton, or else they would not have gone Il
the Legislature. Upon what grounds
their claim is placed we do not know
but think that if it was meritorius ont
they would have asked the Board of Su
peryisors to have organized new town
ship for them.
