but they do contend that they can pre-
vent Mr.. Kravik ct al from taking off
from the premises or using, in any
manner, the minerals found during
the sixteen months. Both sides have
attorneys and are watching the move
ments carefully.
The asbestos has been worked to a
depth of about three feet. It is on
the hill and the vein seems TO be on
the same angle with the hill, and run
ming about three feet from the sur
face all the way down. 1t appears to
be improving in quality with depth.
The asbestos already taken out is
of a very short fiber, and would not
pay to work, because there is too much
granite or quartz in it, making the
crushing too expensive, but it is pos
sible that longer and better fiber
will be found at a greater depth, and
if SO it will probably pay to mine it.

WITH THE DRILL,
The Earth Gives Away to the Seek
erS For Coal.

Two GAZETTE representatives drove
down to the Mckinley drilling outfit,
just east of the city Tuesday afternoon,
and witnessed the drill throw dirt up
through a four-inch pipe by means of
steam pressure in a manner that is in
tensely exciting. The drilling outfit
is just off from the road leading to
the Birch Coolie hill, and is located
in a rude structure of frame, only in
tended for temporary purposes, as it
may be necessary to move to another
location in that district. Two expert
drillers have charge of the machinery,
and they are assisted by Clarence
Moon and Foster Watson.
Tuesday evening at five o'clock the
men had reached the depth of 43 feet.
They we're going through sand with
an occasional streak of blue clay. The
steam, under 1OO-pound pressure,
passing down through an inch pipe
working in a four-inch pipe, would
force the sand and clay up into the
air distance of five feet above the
top of the large pipe, which slowly
worked down as the smaller pipe
cleared the way.
The miners have nothing to say on
the prospects. The drill does not talk,
and it is more than likely that after
the drill reaches the depth of 100 feet
and over spectators will not be allowed
inside of the rude temporary struct-
ure, as the McKinleys may prefer to
keep their discoveries secret.

WIFE NO. | KICKS.
And Sues for a Divorce From One
Who Has Wed Another.

Judge Bowers is looking for a deci
sion in quite remarkable divorce
case before thissweek passes by. The
case arose in Renvil]e county, Minnie
Keiso being the plaintiff and Fred
Keiso the.defendant.
It appears that about three years
ago, when the,trouble first commenced,
Keiso commenced an action for a di-
vorce from his wife, alleging cruel and
inhuman treatment, at the same time
deserving her. His wife answered the
complaint by entering general de-
NAL of the specific charges. Keiso let
the matter drop. Up to short time
it was supposed that he was still liv-
ing alone,but more recently word came
from Mower county that he had mar
ried another woman, claiming in do
ing so that he had secured divorce
from his first. wife.
Mrs. Keiso No. 1, hearing of what
her husband had done, at once com
menced an investigation into the af
fair, and found the report that hel
husband had married another woman
in Mower::county and was living there
to be correct. She at once engaged
Judge Bowers.to commence an actor
for ivorce,.alleging adultery and de
sertion, and the papers were served
on Keiso. He made answer, but die
not contest the case, so that in al
probability Judge Weber will rende
decision favorable to the plaintiff
!. some time this week.

THE ASBESTOS ROW.
Big Row Over a Possibly Small
Valuation.

The asbestos find at Belview last
week came very near terminating in
legal squabble, and may still be ven
tilated in the courts. It appears that
Mir. &. H. Kravik, a merchant at Bel
view, while prospecting on the farm
of his uncle, Ole Knutson, four miles
north of Belview, in this county, came
across the find, and quietly. asked his
uncle for lease on the ground. The
uncle consented. Kravik went to Bel
view, reported his find, and created a
sensation. Messrs. John Martin and
j. NJ. Thompson,two enterprising and
1ustling Belview business men, drove
over to the place in the afternoon, made
an investigation, drew up lease OF
option of prospecting, making it run
sixteen months, and secured the sig
nature of Knutson to the same. Late
that night Mr.. Kravik drove over tC
the place, and with lease in proper
form, running for twenty years, with
himself, G. G. Enesvedt, G. H. Jones
as lessons, secured the signature Of
Knutson to this document also. The
document agreed to pay Knutson q
per cent of the net profits on any min
eral found on his premises.
While the lease of Martin anC
Thompson is probably good for six
teen months the time is not long
enough to do any paying mining

William P. Huntington was born
May u, 1882, in Morgantown, Vir-
ginia, and when he was four years old
the Huntington family moved to Ohio,
where his father ran newspaper, and
young Huntington was sent to school,
finishing with an academical educa-
ton. In 1858, enthusiastic over the
advantages a young man would have
in the gold fields of California, he went
to that State, and took clerical po
sition for few years, leaving the same
to enlist in the Second Regiment of
Cavalry of California in September,
1861, serving in the same three years,
with distinction. He was in San Fran
cisco at the time of the memorable
duel in which the distinguished and
patriotic Senator Broderick was killed
by Judge Terry, and was a listener to
the eloquent remarks of Col. Baker
over the Senator's remains. He re-
turned to Ohio and made that State
his home until 1865, when he came to
Wabasha county, MINI. From 1871
to 1875 he was in the mercantile bust
ness at that place, and was then elect
ed to the legislature, being one OF
then Coy. Davis warmest supporters
for the position of the United States
Senator. At the close of the session
Gov. Davis appointed him clerk in the
insurance department under A. Il.
McGill, .since Governor of the State.
In July, 1876, President Grant APP
pointed him register of the United
} States land office at this place, he re-
. moving here shortly after the appoint
ment was made. He held the office
under Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Ar
thur, holding the Office until succeed
, ed by Andrew Railson. He served
nine years on the school board, and
has since given his time to the real
estate and insurance business, and is
hard and Jealous worker in the he
publican party. He erected the sec
ond brick building in Redwood Falls
fitting the second floor for an opera
hall. He has been and is now chair
man of the Republican county com
mittee for several years, and is zeal
GUS worker for the party. He hat
/ been a member of the Board of Irus
tees of the Minnesota Soldiers Home
since its inception. ;.
He was married in 1874 to Maris
. Warner, and they have three child

tend to do, and have had their agents
looking for desirable sites. Such a place
has been found in Alpena. The location
is all right; the shipping facilities are
good, and the supply OF hemlock bark is
said to be large enough to last at least
80 years.
The result OF the investigation is that
the tannery will be located in this city,
providing reasonable Inducements are Of
fered, and all they ask is site for the
tannery.
Regarding hemlock bark, the firm has
entered into contract with Alger, Smith
q Co. whereby they are to be supplied
with 10000 cords OF hemlock bark per
year for period OF 30 years. In addition
to the bark owned by Alger, Smith Il Co.,
there Is an immense amount owned by
other parties, 80 that Alpena has the raw
material for tannery purposes on large
scale for many years.
II the firm decides to establish their
tannery In this city, they will at first
erect works large enough to employ 100
men, and when their New York business
Is concluded, which will not DO over
year from now, the works in Alpena will
be increased so as to employ at least 800.
The tannery will run every day, winter
and summer, and the employees will not
be out Of work when winter commences,
as in the saw mill business, or have to
look for work in the woods.
Alger, Smith & 20. have offered $4,000
and free site to erect the tannery at
Black River, but the firm prefers Alpena.
There Is no doubt whatever In regard
to the site being given, and tho belief is
entertained by many that the best way Is
for the city to pay for the site.

More About the Tannery.

The question Of the location of extern
sive tannery works in this city has been
a prominent subject Of discussion among
the people Of Alpena during the past
week, and 1t appears probable the tan
merry will be located hero. The terms are
reasonable.
The firm Of Moench 4 Son have large
tannery, employing several hundred men,
at Cattaraugus, N. Y, where they make
fine leather. The hemlock bark In the
region Of their tannery Is nearly exhaust
ed, and Is said will not last more than a
year longer. Therefore the firm has
either to go out of business or locate In
some other place where hemlock bark ia
plentiful. The latter is what they In.

Fish Hatchery.

1t is expected the U. s. fish hatchery
employees will commence the work Of get
ting the Alpena hatchery ready for the
seasons business the early part Of next
month. There is considerable work to
be done in getting the apparatus and
building ready, including painting the
water tanks and making them so they
will not leak. The building needs con-
siderable repairs, and 1t ought to be re-
shingled and have new tanks, as we'll as
closets. The principal work for the AL
pena hatchery is the culture Of white fish,
but much is done by the employees In
gathering trout spawn for the Worthwhile
hatchery. The first work OF gathering
spawn will be those OF the shoal trout,
after which several millions Of lake trout
spawn will be collected and shipped to
Worthwhile. During November the white
fish will be attended to, and an attempt
made to collect at least 90, 600, 900 spawn.
1t Is probable that the same persons will
be at the hatchery as were employed last
season.

Presbyterian Picnic.

There is not an assemblage of people
that can compare with an excursion OF
children for exhileration, liveliness,
mirth and joy, free from the cares and
troubles of life, and we know of no better
cure for dependency or case Of the
"blues," than to mingle with the happy
and careless groups of children and see
them embark OH train or boat for their
annual picnic.
The annual picnic of the Sunday school
children of the Presbyterian church was
no exception to the joyous rule. About
nine o'clock Thursday forenoon the
young people and their friends collected
at the depot to the number OF several
hundred, and merrier crowd would be
hard to find. It was, as is usual In such
cases, an eager throng, and all the child
rem were anxious to enter the cars and
start on the pleasure trip. To many Of
the children 1t was their first journey and
outing OF the season, and was conse-
quently very great event to them, one
that will remain fresh In their memories
for many months.
AS the Alpena & Northern train backed
down to the depot the services Of sever
al men were required to keep the eager
plcnicers back 80 as to be out of danger,
and when the train came TO q stop there
was lively rush aboard the cars, as 1t
was evident that the seats would not hold
oil who intended to go on the train.
Soon every seat Of the three passenger
coaches was occupied, In most cases by
three children to q seat, and there yet re-
NAMED enough to fill the isles. About
300 people were on the train, and were
happy as larks.
The excursionists were taken to Lake
May, in Pressure Isle county, on the Al.
pena & Northern railroad, about thirty
miles from this city, where the day was
happily spent
The lake Is not a very pretty one and
the waters are not clear, while the woods
are not adapted for picnic ground. The
weather was pleasant for out door en-
joyments and there was no rain. Tht
excursion arrived home about six O'Clock
In the evening, without I'm accident t
mar the pleasures OF the day.
