He has given especial attention to this
question, and has, through the consul

vast amount of information which Is
Of particular value to farmers. The

this information and among other
points will indicate the importance OF

A LAND CASE.
IS DECIDED BY SECRETARY
SMITH,
In Favor of the Portage Lake & Lake
Superior Ship-CanaI Com
pany.

Washington, March 12.-Secretary
Smith has decided in favor Of the
company, the suit brought by Angus
Smith and others against the Portage
Lake Il Lake Superior Ship-Canal COM
pany. The case was brought to set
aside certification of lands which The
government had made to the state of
Michigan, and by the state patented
to the canal company as a grant in the
aid of constructing certain public
works. The lands affected by the case
amount to 6S,647 acres and are mostly
in the rich copper and iron re-
gion of the GOgebic range in northern
Michigan. The law making the grant
to the state was passed in 1863 and by
its terms gave all lands embraced
within its limits " not designated by
the United States as mineral lands"
The contention of the plaintiffs in
the case was that the intention Of the
government was not to grant any min
eral lands to the company and as the
lands within this grant had after
wards been found to be mineral, they
clearly were not in the grant. Secretary
Smith holds that the words of the
grant, mot designated by the United
States as mineral" meant lands not so
marked at the time the grant was
made.

OVER TWENTY MINERS SUFFO-
GATED NEAR RAT PORTAGE.
SHAFT HOUSE BURNS OVER THE
FAMOUS SULTANA.
Only Four Out Of Twenty-Five Have
Been Recovered-ThoSe Rescued
Unconscious and Their Conditions
Critical-Only Means of Communi-
cation 4 Dangerous Wagon Trail.

Winnipeg, Man., March 12.-The
shaft house at the famous Sultana
gold mine, fourteen miles from Rat
Portage, caught fire and before the
flames were discovered they complete
ly ~enveloped the building. This, of
couse, shut off the air supply TO the
mine in which there were working
twenty-five miners. A messenger who
arrived at Rat Portage from the mine
at eight O'Clock last night says
that when he left only four
men had been brought up. A number
of doctors were working over these in
the hope of res~uscitating them, but
with small chances of success. The
other men are certainly %suffocated and
are practically given UP for lost. The
shafting and shaft machinery being
destroyed rendered the rescue work
very slow. A family of men live at
Rat Portage and there is intense eX-
element as their only communication
with the mine is a circuitous and a
somewhat dangerous wagon trail. No
further particulars are Obtainable.
Rat Portage, March 12.-When the
fire was eXtinguished a r~escuing party
descended into the mine and brought
UP nine men. Seven others we're re.
covered. The fire is supposed to have
been started by a pipe in a coat pocket
hanging on the wall of the drying
room.

GOVERNMENT OWNS THE WIRES.
Great Strides Made by the Telegraph
in England Since 1870.

Washington. D. c., March S.-A
sketch, showing the great development
of the telegraph IN Great Britain since
it passed under government control
in 1870 as a result of GladStone'S eff
forts, is given in a report to the state
department from United States Con
sular Clerk Martin at Southampton.
He shows that all of the separate
companies lines were taken by the
government in 1870 for Eli 900,
and that in the year succeeding the
government built $4,000 miles of wire
to connect the various systems. AS an
illustration of the results of their
policy, the reports show that while in
1870 the total number of kilograms
handled weekly by all offices was eS-
timated at from $4,000 to 215,000, in
1898 the total exceeded 100000, and
the number sent annually exceeded
10000 900. In 1869 the English press
service was 22,O00,0O0 words; now it
amounts to 600,O 900 words, or
thirty-Six times more than formerly.
The present press rate is absurdly
small as compared with the tariff prior
TO 1870, and in place of sending sew
enty-fve words per minute one way
the wires now carry 500 words a min
