IN JUSTICE COURT.
Several Offenders Punished for
Being Drunk and Disorderly.

John Holso, Fiulander, who re-
sides at Pequaming, was arrested
Sunday evening for being drunk
and disord9rIW Monday morning
he was arrajgnyd before Il justice,
plead guilty and paid fine of 50
and costs of prosecution, rather
than spend fifteen days in the coun-
Ply jail.
The same evening Sunday Rich
ard Smith was arrested for Il similar
offense, and the following morning
was sentenced to pay fine of SO
and costs, or in default thereof to
spend thirty days in Jail. He was
committed. In the afternoon his
mother informed the court that the
young man was her main support
and that he had chance to secure
a position in lumber camp. Upon
Smith agreeing to 90 to the woods
and work, sentence was suspended
and he was given chance to do so.
Monday morning Charles Shaw,
of the Mission, who is an old Of
fender, was gathered in by Marshal
Charles Smith for being drunk and
disorderly, and given until Tuesday
morning to sober up and realize
where he was at. He plead gull
ty To the charge against him
and was given his choice between q
fine of 50 and costs or thirty days
in Jail. He chose the latter.
James Howard, of the mission,
also evidently desired a ride in the
band wagon, and succeeded in
swallowing a musical jag, for which
he was corralled by the marshal
Monday evening. He paid a fine of
81 and costs, and thus avoided
a sojourn of thirty days in the
county cooler.

ONLY 15 CENTS \ TON.
Michipicotcn Specimens Assaycd
At Houghton.

Following is a dispatch taken
from the Detroit Free Press.
which we believe hits the nail
squarcly on the head:
Houghton. Mich, sept 22 The
Michipicoten gold .iinds are APP
parently not so rich as many be-
Iieved, and if all the ASSAYS result
as the one recently made here re-
suited, thcre'll be an exodus from
IVA Wa City" ere long.
Specimens Of rock sent to the eX-
pcrtS at the smelling works in
Houghton show onlyT5 cents worth
OF gold TO the ton.
A staff correspondent Of the De
troit Evening News, who has been
at the Michipicotcn "diggins' for
several weeks, says;
No PLACE FOR TENDERFEET.
Notwithstanding the overwhclm-
ing mass Of testimony which return
ing disappointed prospectors can
give that an inexperienced man has
but little more chance of finding
gold in the Wawa district than in
walking to the north pole, the rush
of tenderfeet hunters for fortunes
still continues.
Only the man who is prepared to
spend months in country where
even an Indian finds it difficult to
travel one mile an hour, and who
knows something about the forma-
tion Of quartz, has any business
there. He must tote all of his pro-
visions with him, for there are no
supply stores and very little game.
Then. too, he must have Il miner S
license from the Ontario govern
meut, which costs so, and, under
an order made a few days ago, he
can stake out but 1,500 square feet,
or 224 acres. He must do mining
on it within year, or it reverts to
the government.
Several thousand acres around the
lake were staked out by prospectors,
but not surveyed, when the order was
made which limited the amount of
land that could be taken up by one
prospector at 22! acres, instead of
from 40 to 320. These prospectors
are afraid that they cannot now hold
their claims. The Dickinson claim is
one of the few that were surveyed
in advance of the miners license
order. The Ganley claim is another.
