Important Pension Decision.

WAsHINGToN, June 1l.-Assistant Sec
rotary Bussey has rendered an important
decision in the case of the mother of Albert
B. Alternately, late of company b, Twenty
second Michigan infantry. The claimant
was pensioned under the old law, but
remarrying, her pension ceased. Last
year she applied for a pension, but the
claim was rejected on the ground that,
having remarked after the sons death and
prior 10 the filing of her claims, there was
no period of time for which she could be
pensioned Assistant Secretary Bussey
has overruled this action and holds that
under the act of June %, 1890, it is only
necessary to show the mothers present
dependence and that the question of hei
remarriage is not material.

Bright Mining Prospects.

RED JACKET, June 16.-Of all the Lake
Superior copper mines there is not one
whose prospects are brighter than the
Qseincy. Reports from the most reliable
sources confirm the general belief that the
Quincy is rich mine and that her resel We
ground is very extensive. The owners are
making preparations to put in two more
Aeads. TO give an increased product. The
only thing in which the Quincy seems TO
'be handicapped is the hosting facilities,
and the new Pewabic shaft will add greatly
In this particular. Another point in favor
OF the Quincy that is worthy Of mention is
that. years ago, when the Cornish drop
stamp was used, the rock was selected ut
derground aud only the best rock sent to
tho surface. A great amount of rock that
wRl 60 from one-half to one per cent is
available for stamping purposes, and will
now. in all probability, go to the stamp
mill. Although this is a small percentage,
1t will be remembered that the rock is
mined and all ready for hosting.
