STARTLING DISCOVERY.
PERHAPS THE cHlPPEWAs ARE
IN 1T.
The Entire Upper Peninsula Of
Michigan May Belong to the
Descendants OF the Chip
pewas Of the Lake SUI
perior Region.
Land for Indians,

Detroit, Mich, March 2S.-Something
in the nature of a startling discovery has
been made by H. +. Chapman, son Of
Congressman Chapman, in relation to
the title to the lands of a large part, if
not the whole, Of the upper peninsula of
this state, and if Mr.. Chipman's con-
illusions are borne out by more minute
investigation and sustained by the courts
every acre of land in that peninsula west
of the Sault and Mackinac to the Mon
treal and Menominee rivers and from
Lake Superior t. Lake Michigan and
the straits, inclusive of city and village
lots, will be handed over to their righful
owners, the descendants of the Chippewa
Indian nation of the Lake Superior re-
gion.
Mr.. Chapman asserts that his inyestiga-
tons nave convinced him that no cession
of the upper peninsula lands has been
made to the United States government,
and that therefore the title deeds in
every registry of deeds in the region in
dictated are as worthless as so much
blank paper. Mr.. Chipman's general con-
illusions were reached while he was en-
gagged in making researches of United
States treaties under claims made by his
clients, descendants of the Chippewa ma
ton, residing in and near L'Anse and
Baraga, for non-payment of interest and
principal On the part of the United States
Of a large sun of money due them under
treaty s%tipulations. Involved with these
claims for compensation is the title to
the lands of Keweenaw Point. which
embrace the copper country within its
area and the chief cities Of Houghton,
H0noOck OuI Rod Toc1o%
"The case involving the payment Of
principal and interest under the treaties"
said Mr.. Chapman, ''is well under way
and will be brought in the department of
the interior. If rejected there it will be
taken to the United States supreme court
of claims. This case will not involve a
claim to title; that feature of the matter
will be brought up later, and after the
collection Of evidence. which will occupy
some time, since the question is a pretty
big one. The claims for money pay
ments run over a term Of fifty years."
