SWAMP LANDS WHERE soUATTtRs ABOUND

Much Trouble.

SIOUX CITY, Oct. 1S.-(Special Teegram)
The question as to the ownership of the
reclaimed lands in this Woodbury. county
is against making trouble. All over the
county there are large tracts of farming land
which, at the time of the government sur
vey, were covered with water, and meander
lines were accordingly run. Consequently
when the water afterward drained off the
lands were not included as part Of the state
and remained in the hands Of the general gov
ernment. They were farmed, however, by the
adjacent property owners, and not until
recently was there any question as to the
title of the occupants. Recently number
Of Sioux City parties have Interested them

Murder of Their Mntc.

Murder of Their Mate.
SAN QUENTIN PRISON, CAL, Oct. 49,
Thomas st. Clair and Hans Hansen, the
murderers Of Maurice Fitzgerald, mate of
the bark Hesper, were hanged in the loft of
the jute mill at the prison at 2:04 o'clock
this morning. The executions were witnessed
only by United States Marshal Baldwin
four deputies and twelve directors. News
paper men and other were excluded in ac-
cordance with wish said to have been ex-
pressed by Hansen. Death in each case en-
sued speedily, the necks of both being
broken by the fall Hansen and st. Clair
spent tho morning with Fathers Lagan
and Gallagher Hansen seemed reconciled to
his fate and assisted the deputies to adjust
the straps on his ankles as he stood OH the
trap. Just before the black cap was drawn
over his head. he smiled, as he looked at the
deputies around him and said: We'll,
goodby. boys, ! am thankful to you ALL.
St. Clair left long, rambling statement for
the press In which he recited the incidents
in connection with the murder and argued
that on the showing of the circumstances
he could not have been guilty Of the murder
of Fitzgerald. He said that his trial was
unfair from the fact that interested persons
had caused the publication of articles in the
newspapers which prejudiced the Jurors
against him.
The executions are said to have been as
prison.
st. Clair's remains were placed in charge
of San Rafael undertaken. Hansens body
was turned over to an undertaken from San

DEVELOPING COPPER PROPERTIES.
Mines i'm Wyoming Paying Nicely on
Present WORKINGS,

CHEYENNE. Oct. 1S.-(Specal Very en-
couragng reports have been received here
from the Hartville mining district in the
northern portion of Laramie county Of the
operations In the copper and iron deposits
which have for years attracted the attention
of mining men. The Empire copper mine,
which recently came into the possession of
Hon. T. B. Hicks. president of the First Ma
tional bank of this place, and John Sparks,
the well known cattleman Of Nevada, is now
being worked and its ores shipped to market
at Omaha with profit. The ore is copper
glance, malachite and grey copper carrying
silver and running high in copper. The re-
cent advance in copper makes the mine a
very valuable property, and II will be worked
to its fullest capaCi " The Empire Is situated
in the same belt the famous Sunrise mine
from which over 5000. 900 worth of copper ore
has been taken and smelted. Another good
copper mine in this belt is the Green Noun
tain Boy. From this claim something like
$40 900 has been taken, the ore being high
grade copper glance containing some silver
and being exceedingly rich in copper. The
owners are arranging to patent this claim and
will then Systematically develop the property.
The owners Of the iron mines at Hartvile
are doing their annual assessment work. and
there Is hope that the increasing demand for
good Bessemer ores will be so great that the
Hartville ores will soon be marketed. The
owners Of the claims have already spent $3.50
600 in the purchase and development Of their
properties at Hartvlle. The ore from the
claims may be quarried from the surface at
an expense of not over % cents per ton.
The onyx deposits of the Hartvile district
are attracting considerable attention, and
large areas of onyx ground have been filed
upon by Cheyenne and Hartvile parties.
About 1,500 acres are now being prospected
by the two larger companies of the many in
terested The onyx deposits are of great ex
tent and the stone Is said to equal the Mex
ican onyx in every respect.
The most urgent need at the present time
for the development Of the district is railway
facilities. spur Of the Cheyenne & North
ern branch of the Denver & Gulf system has
been in contemplation for some time, but its
building has been prevented by the general
depression in railroad business and by the
uncertainty that exists to the future of all
Union Pacific lines. The present manage
ment Of the Denver &c Gulf has been Of sig
nal aid to the mine owners Of the Hartville
district in its liberaity in the matter of
freight rates. Should the Gulf system be-
come permanently Independent organization
the building of Hartville branch will be one
of the first improvements of the line under
taken in Wyoming.
