FOR AN EARL'S TITLE
MINNESOTA PREACHERS CLAIM 70
THE EARLDOM OF CAlTHNE6S.

The Title Now Held by . Dakota Farmer
II to BE Contested by tho Rev. John
sinclair-The Estates May Also Go With
+, the Title.
A few years ago poor North Dako-
Ia farmer awoke one morning to find
himself the Earl Of Caithness. He had
not sought the title. and he knew only
in a vague way that he was some sort
of distant relative Of the noble family
of Sinclair. Now, James Sinclair-for
that is the mans name-is likely to be
dispossessed of the title which came to
him SO unexpectedly. This time it prob
ably will 60 to the Rev. John Sinclair,
a Presbyterian minister at Redwood
Falls, Mimi.
The preacher has been recently in
formed of the probability that he is the
real heir to the title of Earl Of Cath
ness and an income Of $50, 900 year
through two cousins from Scotland who
have looked him up to recognize him as
the head Of the family. These two cous-
ins are Mrs. K. q. Sinclair and her
daughter, Ella Sinclair. In consequence
of their representations the country
minister will soon go to Scotland to
claim his own. The substance Of his
claims may be outlined as follows:
James Sinclair, the de facto fifteenth
earl of Caithness, is the son Of George
Sinclair, the fourteenth earl, who lived
only three years after he left his Aber-
deem banking house to become peer OF
the realm. But he came into the title
only after long period Of uncertainty.
and then had to begin hunt for his
son James, chose whereabouts In Amer
ica was unknown to the father. This
uncertainty as to the succession was
caused by the fact that the thirteenth
earl died at the age Of 25 without issue.
Having no near relative and being in
formed that death was near. he had the
estates taken out of entail and willed
them to his former tutor, Percy Heath
cote, an Englishman. Heathcote attach
ed the family name to his own and be-
came Heathcote- Sinclair Of Barogilt
castle, Caithness. But the title was
finally awarded to George Sinclair.
The title had been practically ad
judged TO belong TO GeOrge Slnclall
when John Sinclair Of Edinburgh, ant
,at that tinee member Of parliament
for Ayrsburghs, became convinced tha
the title was his and directed his at
torneys to begin proceedings in his be

members of the Edinburgh bar, ant

ed to their client that they engaged no

The Alliance and Crescent.

The Herald's exclusive mention of
the proposed consolidation and opera
ton of the Alliance, Crescent and other
properties in Park City has led to con-
siderable speculation in the matter by
men who are thoroughly posted as to
the merits and possibilities Of the en-
terprise, and it is stated that when con-
summated and the proposed develop
ment carried out this Will be one of
the most gigantic propositions of this
wonderful camp, and, from all indica-
tions, the deal is in a fair way to be
closed up at an early date.
From what can be learned regard
ing the intentions of the interested
parties, it is believed that the Alliance
tunnel, which is now mile in length,
will be pushed on into the mountain to-
wards the Crescent ground and that
the ore zones will be tapped at least
1900 feet below the middle workings of
the Crescent mine, which would give
an immense area of good STOPPING
ground to work in and an easy outlet
for the ore and waste, as well as per-
feet drainage for the consolidated
properties.
AS the naturalization Of the Park
seems to trend towards the head of
Big Cottonwood, the extension of this
tunnel for two miles would tap the
source of the ore deposits near the
head of the canyon. and in going this
distance it would doubtless cut a num-
Der of large bodies of high grade ore.
This is a big scheme and it is to be
hoped that it viii be successfully car

Statesman yesterday morning was given

Bond Oh Idaho Mines.

Major W. A Stanton. who has a
bond on three mines located in the
southeastern portion of Idaho, yester-
day received samples of ore from the
property which, by fire tests, showed
metallic contents of from Is to 20 per
cent copper and from 81 to 50 in gold
to the ton.
The major states that the property
is most admirably located and that
the lodges at the surface are from 40
TO $50 feet in width, from which it
would seem that this is a proposition
that would bear investigation and de-
velopment, and The Herald is informed
that it is the intention to put men to
work in proving the merits of the
ground soon after the first of the year.
The mines are near a fine natural
water power and within short dis
tance of railroad facilities.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-12-22

At this time, when there seems to be
such a determined effort to break
Northern Light stock, it is certainly
gratifying to the stockholders of the
company to listen to the favorable re-
port from the mine as detailed by Man
2ger L. H Curtis, who has just re-
turned from an inspection Of the prop
erty.
While Mr.. Curtis is averse. to glowing
accounts and any form of misrepresen-
tation, he states that the mine is look
ing exceedingly Wen. and that for the
first time in its history it is now d COM
mercial proposition.
Before leaving the mine, Monday af-
ternoon, ore was being rushed from the
lower workings OF the same through
the Woodruff tunnel to the mill, and
the first actual run on high-srade gold
milling ore IS about to be made at the
MILL with enough of this grade of min
erai in sight to keep the plant in active
operation to its fun capacity for a long
time TO come.
The completion of the Woodruff tun-
mel and the up-raise connecting it With
the lower workings of the mine gives
access to all Of the workings of the
property, which viii enable the COM
pany 10 handle all ores. and waste by
gravity, thus doing away with the for
mer heavy expense in this direction,
and also enabling the cutting down of
the force as the cessation of dead work.
and hereafter only the regular working
force of the lline will be employed in
taking out and treating the product of
the mine.
The upper workings of the mine is
progressing in four different places on
fine bodies of an excellent grade of
milling gold ore, While in the lower
workings an immense ledge of even a
better grade of mineral is exposed, and
in the old Slopes and drifts there is a
large amount of good milling ore brok-
en- down and stored waiting to be shot
down to the ore house at the mill, so
that, taken all in all, the property is in
splendid condition and gives promise
of making a most creditable record in
the near future.
Another cause for congratulation is
the fact that during the past few days
the water supply furnished by the
company's spring has been more than
doubled. which is an important factor.
in view of the fact that the amount of
ore which Will be treated from this
time on viii be three times as great as
in the past, neceSSitating the use OF a
larger amount of wates, proportionate-
~, and the Indications are now that
the supply will exceed the demand,
thus making a material saving in OPP
Grating expenses in this direction.
For some time past the company has
been at work in the endeavor to in
crease the flow of water at the spring.
and when Mr. Curtis left, word was
received thai the tanks were running
over.
From all indications. it will not be so
very long before the Northern Light
proposition viii be practically and sue
cessfully solved, and that the company
viii line up with the other producing
and paying mines of the state.

ity was crowded down to low water
mark, as sales were recorded at SO
cents, although the closing quotations
disclosed stronger tendencies. Northern
Light was much stronger than on the
previous day, and gained strength as
the call progressed, the opening sale
being at 80 cents, While a block of the
stock changed hands at 80 cents at the
close. Ajax registered transfers at 30
cents, but later on a bid of 80 failed to
draw out any more of this security.
Mammoth made marked gains in the
bidding, but buyer and seller were too
far apart at the close to admit of the
transaction of any business. Mercur

was inactive. -Four Aces was strong
in the bidding, although concessions
were made in the offerings.
Nothing was done in the unlisted

securities. South Swansea was shaded

The company is figuring with ore
