Anxious to be a Subject OF Austria.

1t seldom, if ever, occurs that man
who lives in this country few years
appears before court and prays TO be
made subject of some foreign power,
but such was the case in Superior a
few days ago. Several of the foreign
born citizens Of the county imagined
the had "struck a snap" after being
turned down by Judge Ensign in Dull
nth for second papers in going over to
Superior and getting them on Wis
consin soil. Frank Jutrash, of Vir-
ginia, was the first to take advantage
of the opportunity presented and
went to West Superior and secured
his papers. 1t later developed that
Frank did not know as much as he
thought he did, and a few days ago he
appeared before the court at West
Superior to resign his citizenship.
In an affidavit he stated he was not
aware that the oath he made contain
ed the statement that he had lived in
Wisconsin year. The court granted
the petition and reversed the order
giving him his second papers and
Frank is again subject Of Austria.
He will probably read up little and
try it again before Judge Ensign.

Ohio Lease Involved.

In the district court suit has been
commenced having for its object the
cancellation of the Ohio Mining COM
pany IS lease of the west of the south
west of section 8, 58-17 and the
collection of $4,000 royalties alleged
to be due the Ainslie Land and Min
ing company, the plaintiff in the
action.
In the complaint the ownership of
the fee of the land by Ainslie and The
subsequent organization Of the plain
tiff company is recited. 1t is stated
that the property was leased by the
owner to the late Fred Barrett and
wife of Tower, and by them sub-let to
the defendant company. 1t is alleged
that later supplemental lease OF the
property by the plaintiff to the de-
PENDANT company was made and that
the provisions of the lease and the
suitcase have been broken by the
defendant.
Among the requirements OF the
lease that are alleged not to have
been carried out are the provisions
that the Ohio company would furnish
the plaintiff with accurate maps and
drawings showing the progress OF the
mining operations on the property,

THE MARKET AT LARGE.

The closing week Of 1896 finds weak
ness in every part Of the iron market,
and for most products the lowest
prices OF the year AS in the proceed
ing week, Bessemer steel billets,
sheet bars and tin plate bars have
monopolized attention, and number
OF buyers East and West have covered
their requirements for the first half
of 1897 Rods have been active also,
and in the Chicago district sales to
wire mills will insure a six months
run OF the Joliet rod mill. Recent
announcements Involving loW-cOSt
possibilities seem to have an avalanche
effect, and in the unSettling incident
to the disruption in steel, prices have
been crowded down with vengeance.
All sorts of reports are current OF
extreme prices, and as manufacturers
almost exclusively have handled the
business, it has naturally had less
publicity, in view OF. the fact that it
means little or no profit, than is given
transactions through middle hands.
At Chicago the most interesting
news of the week is that the local
steel company has sold sufficient rods
to insure the running OF the Joliet
rod mill until July /, 1887. The bulk
of this business comes from wire
manufacturers, and was placed at a
price below $25, Joliet. This will
take care of a large portion of the
billet capacity of the Illinois Steel
Co., as the rod mill and merchant mill
at Joliet will use all Of the product of
the Joliet billet mill. In other
branches of the iron market the week
was dull and uninteresting. General
ly speaking, prices of all products
except those controlled by associa-
tions are inclined to weakness.
General conditions in Chicago have
been very much unsettled for the last
two weeks by the failure of banks
which have always been supposed to
be of the strongest. These failures
have induced, to certain extent, a
lack of confidence in the financial
soundness of this part of the country,
but it is not thought that anything
more serious than has already hap
pened will occur. So far the failures
have not affected seriously any con-
cerns connected with the iron bust
ness. With the beginning of the new
year and the opening of the better
business that is counted on, the eX
pectation is that any uneasiness
caused by these failures will soon
disappear Iron Trade Review.

him bodily injury. The custom died
out as fast as it originated and for

taken the matter in charge, ascertain
a few more facts the grand jury will
IN all probability find something to
DO and the MINER will have an item
which will please the six immensely.
1t seems that there have been
rumors Of domestic strife in the
family of young couple in this city
for some time. Rumors which many
people claim were entirely unfounded
but which caused the parties concern
ed much annoyance and much un-
necessary advertising. 1t even went
SO far as to cause a comment in

etc. In consequence the six first
mentioned citizens of morality on
Saturday evening hied themselves to
the residence of the couple and cal
ling out the liege lord threatened him
with bodily harm. The lady was very
much frightened and begged of the
crowd to do no harm as the reports
were absolutely untrue and were be-
ing maliciously circulated The hus-
band was taken out of the house how
ever and rolled in the snow after
which the party few. Monday eve
ming the husband received a letter
which informed him that if it had
not been for his wife on the memoir
able evening, his life would not have
been worth one red cent and further
threatened him with dire vengence.
The couple called at the MINER
office last evening and said they would
desire to be placed right in the eyes
of the citizens of this city, by stating
that the circulated reports animated
from parties who were airing their
personal grievances and that they
were untrue. The lady says her hus-
band never whipped her and that

that it should prosecute exploration
and development work and keep the
plaintiff posted as to the results OF
the tests, analyses. etc. and that it
should furnish Il monthly statement
of the ore taken from the premises.
1t is claimed that it has done none of
these things and others that the lease
required.
1t is claimed that the plaintiff
agreed to mine not less than $4,000
tons of ore year and to pay a royalty
of Is cents per ton. The claim ad-
vanced for $1,000 is stated to be for
royalties for ore actually mined dur.
ing the three months preceding Oct.
/, 1896. The plaintiff alleges that it
served the notice required by the
lease that if the royalties claimed to
be due were not paid within 30 days
it should cancel the lease; that the
thirty days expired without payment
being made, and that the plaintiff
took possession of the land,
and SO far as it was able annulled the
lease. 1t asks an order Of the court

and supplemental lease and directing

Ancient Copper Mines.

Seven ancient copper mines, worked
by an unknown and prehistoric race,
have been located in Cook county,
Mimi, on the north shore of Lake Su
perior, says the New York Herald. In
the great Superior copper region old,
debris covered copper pits, abandoned
centuries ago, have heretofore been
discovered, but this new find is the
first that has been made on the
northern shore of the great lake, and
the discovery gives promise of activity
in mining operations in that locality,
for not only have paying deposits of
copper been laid bare but some silver
and little gold have been found with
the baser metal.
These mines, which were accurately
located only two weeks ago, lie with
lin few miles of each other. immedi-
ately south of, and close TO, the
Pigeon river, which is the boundary
| line between the United States and
| Canada at that point.
1t requires the eyes of an expert
trained in prospecting to find the
signs of hidden ore: and so it was in
this case, for it remained to Capt.
William P. Spalding, now IA years
old, of Sault Ste Marie, to make the
discovery.
Capt. Spalding in speaking Of the
find says that he has done some work
| there and find unmistakeable signs of
prehistoric workings and further says:
| found no tools or stone hammers,
but from che evidences the work was
done by building fire on the vein
heating it to high temperature, and
then cooling it suddenly with water,
which would have the effect of loosen
ing the ore. The copper was then
broken out with stone hammers.
This was the ancient mode of work
ing the mines on the south shore of
Lake Superior.
! On section there is old work on a
vein which unites with ancient dig
gings where two immense pits were
dug by the prehistoric miners.
Near this junction to the north,
there is mound which should be
opened, and l intend exploring it on
some future day. Not far from this
mound there is apparently a roadbed
of loose stones, which might have
been the road to Lake Superior, and
the destination of the products of the
mines. | have found no tools, so far,
but this is no evidence that they will
not be found in the future. l think
the ancient works on these lands are
the most extensive ever found.
The mound referred to is likely to
hold solution to some OF the prob
lens suggested by the discovery of
these ancient mines, for seldom are
these mounds-attributed to prehs-
toric race called the mound builders
barren Of relics that throw some
light ON the habits of those who built
them. Then it is not at all unlikely
that the mound will be found rich in
tools, in ornaments Of copper, silver
and gold, and more than likely in
skeletons of the very people who made
these excavations.
Judge Moer has ordered an injunc-
tion in the case brought by the Vir-
ginia people restraining the building

ginia north because it is not being
built as per proposition voted upon.
