BIC SALE OF LAND.

Land Commissioner win Sell Five Thousand
Acres at Public Auction August y.
The commissioners Of the state land
office has iust received from the United
States land Office a patent for 5000
acres OF land IN the counties of Gogebc,
Houghtou and Ontonagon, and the
nnds will be offered at public auction
at the state land Office Aug. f3. at the
minimum price Of $S per acre. A sale
OF the whole list would, therefore, bring
TO the state $4,000. II the lands are
not all sold ON the day Of public sale,
they will thereafter be subject TO private
sale and homestead entry at the state
land office.
These lands were selected personally
by the commissioner, by virtue OF the
provisions OF the swamp land acts ~
congress, from the best tracts of gov
ernment land in the upper peninsula,
under indemnity ccrtilication. After
such selection was made, the commits
sioner OF the general land office refused
TO approve the selection on the ground
that congressional net OF 1889 super
seeded the indemnity provisions OF the
acts Of 1865 and 1857, and thereafter
government lands in Michigan. State
Land Commissioner VIM. A. French
has had good deal Of experience in
land matters, and being especially well
informed with regard Co the laws and
decisions in reference TO swamp lands,
felt positive that the commissioners oi
the general land office was in error IN
holding these lands for rejection. With
confidence in the right and justice of the
states claim, and assisted by the
influence and argument OF Senator Me
MILAN, lac appeared before the secretary
oi the Interior in an appea! from the
land office decision and secured rever-
sal Of the decision and n patent for the
lands.
The tracts are valuable agricultural
lands lying in one ol the best farming
districts OF the upper peninsula, and
especially chosen 10y Commissioner
French to give opportunity Tor further
development of the rich agricultural
resources Of one OF the many fruitful
districts OF Superior farming land.

Ancient and Bifureated Dams,ls Attack the
Great American Game.
Wen, they came-"thosc Boston
Bellies in bloomers bright" with ball
corking attachment-they saw land we
saw they conquered and departed in
that "palatial, SD, 900 ear"
1t was yesterday afternoon that a
band OF ball-tossers OF Crystal Falls,
under the captaincy OF Geo. l.. Voos, as-
sisted seven time-worn women and
two men in u public demonstration OF
how little OF the virtue OF good ball-play-
ing the Boston Bloomers possess. There
were nine girls in all--that IL, nine
females that once were girls. Only seven
OF them attempted To play bali. how
ever, the remaining pair serving only a-
statuary.
A "bloomer," who looked as though
she might have been on earth when New
York was IA territory, stepped up To the
plate.
The meek and youthful Crystal Falls
pitcher delivered the ball, amid n flood
OF bushes, with about the same ierocity
that school ma am would Hip coin
into contribution box.
"Now, don't get gay, sonny; you amt
playin' with eoslin's," came the refined
and matronly assurance from the plate,
as the prodigy from the classical city OF
bean renown famed at the ball in a
manner that bespoke more power than
grace.
The game then proceeded without
exciting feature until the malo catcher
for the bloomers, who, by the way was
full Of jokes aud gave unmistakablc evil
dcnce OF having partnken freely oiswamp-
water, became tangled up with guam
tity OF Crystal Falls citizens OF tender
years, in debate that would send a
bowery urchn To the family physician.
II was then that the female short-shop,
with tchtly-curled yellow hair OF regula-
tion length, "chippod in" with.
That's right. you smart guys; jolly i'm
up; wy donl you ioIlyr'
This very clever wticism, OF course,
brought forth laundering applause from
the ndmring spectators.
The two teams were evenly matched
and there is no telling what the score
would have been had not the umpire, in
a chivalrous mood, extended gratutous
favor in his decisions on the plays of the
girl" who transported two hundred and
fifty pounds in her mammoth bloomers.
As it was, however, the score was eight
to thirteen, in fnvor OF the Boston
''Belles." The bloomer base ball game
was, withal, n very brilliant event

The Pith Of Local Events Condensed to the
Right Point.
Editor Jas. II. Fitzgibbon, OF the
Ncws-IIerald, Iron Mountain, was in the
city this morning. Mr.. Fitzgibbon will
have charge OF the construction work on
the new long distance telephone line bc-
tween Crystal Falls and the range towns.
He informs THE DIAMOND DRILL that
work on the line will be commenced in
the near future.

Florence Won.

The Awkaris, OF Florence, crossed
bats with the Crystal Falls team at the
Driving Park grounds on July Fourth.
Quite nm interesting game was put up
and some very good plays we're made by
both teams, although some loose play
ing in the middle OF the game, rendered it
little tedious for awhile. At the close
OF the eighth inning the score was twenty
TO twenty-one in iavor of the Awkards
and there the game ended, owing to the
departure OF the evening train. The game
was attended by large crowd Of spec
tators. The Florence boys play good
ball, but they are in the same position
as the home team this year, being sorely
in need 0i practice. One thing can al
ways be written about Florence base
ball boys: They are gentlemen.
and our people enjoy seeing them play
ball. return game will be arranged in
the near future.
