The Teachers Institute.

The State teachers institute for
Baraga county, an outline of which
was given in last weeks SENTINEL,
will be held at the high schoo /,
l. 'Anse, commencing at 10 o o'clock
a. m, Monday, Sept. 9th, and clos
ing at p. m, Friday, Sept. 10th.
There is no doubt as to the value
of a good live institute, and expert
ence proves that as rule the most
successful and progressive teachers
are those who avail themselves OF
the work given at such meetings.
Special attention will be given to
botany, physics and algebra in order
to assist those teachers who are try
ing to pass for second grade certi-
ficates, and it is hoped that such
teachers will be thinking and study
ing along the lines suggested in the
outline. In this way they may be
helped over any difficulties they
may heve met in the preparation OF
these branches.
During the week lectures will be
given in the evening by Prof. r. w.
Putnam and others. Mr.. Putnam S
topic will be What Modern
Thought Owes to the Spade. "
The law allows teachers to close
their schools during the continuance
of such institute without forfeiting
their wages for as many half days
as they are in attendance at the in
stitute. 1t is expected that every
teacher in the county will close
school and be present at every ses-
sion during the week.

Valuable Gold Location at Michi-
picOten, 100 Miles From
the 500.
DISCOVERED BUT RECENTLY
1t Is Said That the Owners Have
Been Offered $780,
900 For 1t.
The Sault Ste. Marie News, of
the 2Sth ult., had the following:

The Sault Ste. Marie News, of
the 2Sth ult., had the following:
A report reached the 500 this week
of the recent discovery of an exceed
ingly rich gold mine on the shores of
Lake Wawa, which is situated about
5 miles almost due north of Michi-
picoten, Ont, $50 miles from the 500.
The sale of the mine is now on the
tapis and it is said that Montreal
capitalists will pay 500, 600 for the
property, after having thoroughly
satisfied themselves that it is all that
it is claimed to be. Samples taken
at random from the location have
assayed over 800 to the ton, and the
gold is free milling. When the prop
erty is developed there is everything
to indicate that the deposit will prove
one of the richest, if not the richest,
yet discovered in Canada. Such is
the candid opinion of experts who
have been on the ground. They
pronounce the find a marvellous one.
The discovery was made a little
over month ago, by an Indian
named Teddy, from Port Arthur,
who was cruising and prospecting
along the lake. He secured number
of fine specimens, but evidently did
not appreciate the value of his find.
A short time afterwards he was in
North Bay, where he showed the
specimens to Messrs Dickinson and
Mackie, both business men of that
place. Mr.. Dickinson, who had for
merly lived at Port Arthur, happen
ed to be acquainted with the Indian,
He had also been pros
pector in his day, and was quick to
recognize that the Indian had found
mighty good thing if he had told a
straight story. Messrs. Dickinson
and Mackie prevailed upon the In
dian to dispose OF his knowledge to
them ior consideration. As soon
as possible thereafter they made a
personal investigation and to their
delight found that matters were as
represented by the Indian. Messrs.
Dickinson and Mackie kept the in
formation to themselves, and at once
made application for as much of the
property as they could handle, and
secured seven 40-acre locations. Sam
plies were sent to Montreal to be as
sayed and showed up so well that
several offers were made for
the property. A company was given
an option by them and about three
weeks ago Prof. Mckenzie, well
known Canadian mineralogist, was
sent to investigate the claim. He
made such flattering report that
the company, it is reported, has de-
cided to make the purchase at the
price above stated. Prof Mckenzie is
now on the ground for the second
time.
Since the discovery has been made
public, several applications for
claims have been made to the Do
minion government, and among
them are two filed by gentlemen ol
this city and(a number by residents
of the Canadian 500. Michipicoten
is on the shore of Lake Superior, and
is easily reached twice u week in
summer by the Ainsworth q Ganley
boat line. A rustling mining camp
at Michipicoten is among the early
probabilities, as it seems certain
that other rich strikes will be made.

Logging Prospects Good.

The signs of coming prosperity
are apparent in the logging industry
throughout the upper peninsula.
The surest indication of this is the
fact that all the big companies are
preparing for an early logging
season.
The Fence River Logging com
pany has started work on camp
located on the south branch of the
Fence river. AS soon as it is com
pleted u large crew will be put at
work.
Five more camps will be built inn
mediately on the Fence and Pine

employment. The company will

The Murderers Of Cashier Struble

Never be Caught.
STR. PORTLAND ARRIVES.

Worth of Gold Dust From

Shepherd, Mich, Sept Cash
ier Struble S murderers are still at
large and the books are not yet
found. Officers can give no encour-
agement that they will soon arrest
the assassins or recover the books,
and it is doubtful if they are ever
found. There is good deal of APP
prehension in the minds of the peo-
pie that the murderers will likely
escape altogether. Officers seem to
be working at cross purposes and
accomplish nothing satisfactory to
themselves or the people. The board
OF supervisors has called a meeting
for Sept. .Sth to decide on plan for
offering reward for the capture of
the guilty parties. This action is
necessary, on account of the county
being at present financially bank
rupt, as all available funds were in
the Peoples Bank.
Seattle, Wash, Aug 29.-Thc
steamer Portland arrived this morn
ing. The Portland carried thirteen
miners, each of whom brought only
a small part of his stake. The total
amount of gold dust on the vessel
was perhaps 1915, 900 worth. The
Portland was delayed by the failure
Of the Weare toarrive at st. Michaels
and by storms. The miners on
board, with amount Of their total
mining profits, parts of which they
brought with them, are as follows:
j. Rofan, $50, 900; Jim Bell, $40, 900;
Joe G Goldsmith, $35, 900; N. w. Powers,
$35, 900; WV. Caldwell $35, 900; w.
Oler, $4,000 c. X. lilly, $25 900;

A. Buckley, SO, 900; NJ. S. Lansing,
Sl4, 900; B. w. Farnham, $40, 200; M.
X. Camler, Sl5, 600. Very few of
these intend to go back. The hard
ships they endured make them dread
the country in which they won their
stakes.
G. G. Perrine and F. A. Novak,
though not miners, are two OF the
most interesting members of the
party. Perrine is detective. In
February last he was told TO capture
Novak, wanted in Iowa for murder
and arson. Perrine chased his man
from Omaha to Baltimore, thence
| across the continent to Seattle and
thence to the Klondike gold fields.
where he arrested him. Pcrrine
spent so, 900 in pursuit of his man.
No new discoveries are reported
from the upper country. The com
mon report among the miners is that
there is nothing in the country now
worth having that has not been
staked off and that the owners will
refuse fabulous prices for their
claims.

leased on parole from Jackson state

Thirty years ago Narcis Mercier
left his home in the copper country
to seek his fortune, and Monday
night he returned with his pockets
full of gold nuggets from the klon-
dixie, and leaving claim that was
worth so much that he could afford
to pay a man 81, 200 to look after it
during the winter. Mercier spent
about IL years in Alaska, and was
at the Klondike when the first big
discovery was made. He located q
claim 16 miles from Dawson City,
which he estimates in the thousands.
He says all the stories about the
country are true, and thinks it is
the greatest gold discovery OF the
age. Mercier will return to Alaska
i'm March to work his claim. He
would advise no one to go to the
country this winter.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY

Corsicana. Tex, March 1i.--,Spccial)
A very exciting runaway occurred on
West Seventh street this afternoon. The
result was that J. W. McGill was thrown
from buggy and received serious inju-
rics. He was out riding with his wife.
and the horse became frightened at Il To-
connective. and Mctiill jumped out TO hold
him, when the animal wheeled. cirryng
the buggy over him and ran at hrcakncck
speed for several hundred yards and was
finally stopped by party on horseback,
after prccipitating Il man who Lad run
mp about the time he started several feet.
and inflicting II wound on one of his legs.
The surprise was that the lady was not
thrown from the buggy, as it vas carried
over obstacles, but she chung hravcly to
the rcnS to the last, nearly fainting. how
ever rs soon as the danger was over.
