"The coming season promises TO be
the busiest ever experienced at the Til

four of the five mines all the ore sold
by the receivers will haye to come from

ers have made preparations for an ex-
traordinary large output and have Sc
cured an order from the United States
court authorizing them to mine $780,
900 ton, though of course this does not
necessarily mean that so large an
amount will be mined. Last season
though working only intermittently, in
the ncighborhood OF $50, 900 tons of ore
was mined from the Tilden.
The Tilden it is understood, has re-
Gently been fitted with additioNal ma
chinery, for the most part taken. 1t is

partly to recover machinery so alleged
to have been removed that the suit CT

Nearly all OF the prominent mine
owners attending the conference at Re-

Secretary smith Renders Decision In
Celebrated Upper Peninsuia
Asnd case.
A dispatch from Washington dated
Monday says:
Secretary Smith today de ,ided 10 favor
of the Canal company the suit brought
by Angus Smith and (others against the
Portage Lake and Lake Superior Canal
company. The case was brought to set
aside the certitcation of lands which
the government had made to the state
Of Michigan and by the state patented to
the Canal company as q grant IN aid OF
the construction OF certain public works.
The lands affected by the case amount to
6S,647 acres and are mostly located In
the rich copper and iron region Of the
Gogebic range In northern Michigan.
The law making the grant to the
state passed. in 1865 and by Its terms
gave all the lands embraced within its
limits mot designated by the United
States as mineral lands" The conten-
tion Gf the plaintiffs Ia the present case
was that the Intention Of the govern
ment was no: to grant any mineral lands
to the company and as the lands within
this grant had afterwards been fouAd to
be mineral they we're clearly without
the grant. Secretary Smith holds that
the words OF the grant mot designated
by the United States as minersp' meant
lands not so marked at the time the
grant was made.

The great west, " 1t was called, this
country, and properly. 1t was bounded on
the north by the great lakes, it was in
terscctcd by the three great rivers-thc
Ohio, the Mississippi and the Missouri
and the natural distinctions and differ
ences between the west and the east were
from the first marked, and tho one great
feature that commenced to make of thu
western man a new creature and different
from the eastern man was not the big
lakes and the big riyors-it was the bis
prairie. Ohio had some prairie, and Indi
ana had more, and Illinois had the biggest
prairieS of all, and it was the prairics and
the work of bringing them into subsection
that made the western man-mado him
out of the eastern man, made him out Of
the southern man and every ether kind OF
man who came ont into the immensely Of
the western earth and sky.
The development Of the west, beginning
at the east line of Ohio, has been accom-
plished within considerably less than a
century. Here and there are old men or
women living who saw if they do not re-
member the start. Enough time has not
yet elapsed for the west to become any
thing else than the west. The building of
the west, the Oldest west, is so recent that
the chips are lying all about
The watchword of the west is and al
ways has been big" The west was first
distinguished from the east-from the
cold Thirteen by its superior bigness,
Wilderness and openness. The western farm
er who perhaps was the first in the world
to run a straight furrow nSle long,
turned out IA different style of agriculturist
from the gardener or the patient cultiva-
tor of few stony and slanting acres in
the east. All classes of western society tool,
their cue from the big farmer; their in

was not in the beginning, and is not now,
more different from the east than are the

While the late General Gresham was on
the bench prominent lawyer came into
the courtroom and speaking TO the coun-
sci. who were in the midst of a case, asked
them as n favor to allow him to interrupt
proceedings for q few alinutos He had u
document, purely formal matter which
he wished to submit to the court. 1t would
occupy the judge but a moment. The
counsel consented and the lawyer handed
to Judge Gresham a paper for his sigma
turc.
The lawyer was guardian for two young
children, heirs to u large estate and the
paper was an order from the court author
ling him to sell certain real estate belong
ing to them. 1t lacked only the judges
signature. Judge Gresham, instead Of
signing the document, settled back in his
seat and read it carefully. Then he turned
to the lawyer ''Ilave you read these pa
persf" The lawyer answered that he had.
The judge reached for his docket and made
an entry, evidently of some length. Then
he said to the lawyer, speaking with much
sternness: Il have removed you from the
guardianship of those children. You may
go, sir" The lawyer stood for q moment
thunderstruck Then, without word, he
left the courtroom, and the other case was

Tads in shipbuiiding seem to date from
tho seventeenth century when Dutch
merchant gave orders for vessel to be
constructed for him like the pictorial rep
rest nations Of Noah's ark. The shipping
folk in the town where he resided jecred
at him for his eccentric idea, but when the
craft was completed and she was found ca
pable Of carrying third more cargo than
other owners ships, and no extra men
were required to work her, the laugh
changed sides. Probably this is the only
instance on record of fad turning out
successful whom put to practical test.
In 1914 William Doncastcr patented
what he described as being the first by
drostatic ship which has ever appeared up
On the hubitable globe" 1t consisted of
five pontoons, sharp pointed, to divide the
displaced water, so that she would rise
well TO the waves. Four water wheels were
fixed fore and aft, between pontoons one
and two and four and five, through which
the water ran TO propcl the vessel. This
invention as might readily be imagined,
proved to be of no use whatever.
