To Succeed Canlpau.

Hol. S. L. Smith being the proprie-
tor of the L'Anse town site, the follow
ing from the Detroit Journal of the 3rd
will be of local interest aside from the
political news contained therein:
1t was stated today by prominent
Democrat who has it direct from John
B. Molony, that Hon. Samuel l.. Smith
Of 1913 Woodward ave., had been slat.
ed for the craftsmanship of the demo-
cratic state central committee. 1t is
desired by Mr.. Molony and his friends
to retire Daniel j. Campau and put in
his place man who has no enemies
and is not identified with any faction.
Mr.. Smith is Il high-toned and wealthy
gentleman. Three years ago he remov-
ed from Lansing to Detroit. When a
young man he served one term in the
state legislature, but has not held any
other office. He has frequently taken
part in political campaigns by making
radical and strong free trade speeches.
He is the man whom Justice Pholan
tried to nominate in the democratic
county convention last fail for delegate
to the state judicial convention and
used the name OF l.. A. Smith by mis-
take.

RECOLLECTIONS OF An OLD
n PIONEER.

With reference to the article recent
ly published in the Iron Ore concern
ing the discovery of gold by DR..
Houghton, Mr.. Abel Hall, of this place
informs us that he and Samuel w.
Hill, among others, were employed by
DR.. Houghton in the summer of 1916
in surveying the Upper Peninsula. Mr..
Hill was engaged principally in mean
dering while Hall was subdividing
townships.
DR.. Houghton was engaged upon the
geological survey, and ut the time men.
toned the three parties were working
from the Chocolay river up into the
iron range.
1t was while working in this vicinity,
and about the middle of summer, that
DR.. Houghton told Hill of his discovery
of gold and stated that the discovery
was made not more than mile from
where they then were. He requested
Hill to say nothing about it then as his
men might get excited and quit work.
Hill told Hall of this conversation in
1851 and also Major BeedonSbut without
disclosing the exact locality where il
took place, although Mr.. Hall is conf.
dent the discovery was made somewhere
between Chocolay river and the iron
range

Circuit Court

Judge Hare opened circuit court
here Tuesday morning and closed abeui
2 o'clock in the afternoon. There were
no jury trials and only two cases dis
posed of aside from continuances and
dismissals.
There were three cases pending
against Pat Clark, of Nestoria, for sell.
ing liquor without having paid the tax.
The defendant pleaded guilty to one
and nolle prosecute was entered in
each of the others. The Judge, after a
private consultation with the defendant
imposed fine of $50 and costs, which,
in view of the circumstances, was a
very light penalty. The Judge, how.
ever, stated when imposing this penalty,
thai If any more convictions were had
before him for violations of the liquor
laws lie would not aflix less penalty
than 500. 1t will be many year
before the Judge will be called upon to
pass ON more fragrant case than was
this one and his reasons for imposing
the lighter fine in this are better known
to himself than to the public generally
However, justice tempered with mercy
is hardly to be regretted, and if Pat
will, with this small taste, become
law abiding citizen. the SENTINEL will
never bear him i'll will.
The next case disposed of was that of
the People VS.. H. A. Sessions for libel.
Some months ago Sessions wrote and
published an article in the Calumet
Conglomerate rejecting upon Pat
hester, of Baraga, in connection with
last springs election. hester swore
out warrant for Sessions arrest,
the complaint being made before
Judge Ormsby, who was implicated
in Sessions article. At the trial before
the justice Sessions put in no de ense
aud he was promptly fined 500 and
costs and sentenced to 80 days in Jail,
the full limit of the law. Sessions
gave bond and appealed to the circuit
court. Attorney w. F. Riggs, of
Calumet, appeared for Sessions IN the
circuit court and moved to squash the
Indictment on the ground that it was
brought under common law form when
it should have been under the statute.
Other objections were also made to
the complaint, but this was the only
one sustained by the court. The case
was dismissed upon this objection.
The other cases noted for trial were
continued,

Enjo,ned from Cutting Timber

EnjO,ned from Cutting l1fnDeP.
A temporary injunction was issued
by Judge Hare in the Ontonagon cir
cult last Tuesday restraining the w.
d. Wing Lumber Co. from cutting
timber from q tract of canal land claim
ed by A. +. Root under the homestead
law.
This tract is one of large number
selected by the canal company in the
granted limits of tho Ontonagon &
Brule grant, and it is claimed such
selections are void, and that when this
grant was forfeited these lands became
subject to homestead entry. Root
settled on the tract in question but his
application to enter was rejected in the
land office and it is still pending on
appeal in the interior department. The
Wing Lumber Co., grantees of the
canal company, undertook to cut the
timber, hence the injunction.
The case is novel in one respect Us it
is said to be the first one where settler
without entry and without the interven-
ton of the United States has, by bill
In equity in his own behalf, obtained an
Injunction of this nature.
Messrs. Rush Culver and Z. g.
Halsey of this place are the attorneys
for complainant, and they have strong
hopes of having the injunction made
permanent.

A Coal Mine In China.

The coal mines at Wang-san-shih
are very interesting. There are here
three seams of "a feet, 3 feet and II
feet, which are at an angle Of SO de-
grees, nearly due south. A perpen-
dicular shaft has been sunk 106 feet
with no fault. The first 25 feet were
through alluvium, thence through
quartzite and few bands of shale in
quartzite. The shaft is being deep
ened at the rate of four inches per
hour. Wang.sanshih is only three
miles from the line of railway and
six miles from the iron mines. In
summer a creek comes within half a
mile of the works, and it was up this
that the heavy machinery was
brought to the mines by the follow
ing ingenious process:
A raft drawing only an inch to the
ton was constructed, and, the ma
chinery being shipped, was dragged
up the creek till it grounded. Then
q dam was built behind which caused
it to float, and this was successfully
and successfully done until the ma
chinery was got to within half a
mile Of the mines. Hand porterage
took it the rest of the way.-Inven-
