MAY STRIKE IT RICH
Gold Exploring is Now in
Progress in COvingtOn
Township.
OUTLOOK VERY FAVORABLE
Tests are Being Made on Lands
Owned by Supervisor
John Lyons.

About two weeks ago parties
commenced the work of eXplor-
ing in Covington township, this
county, with strong idea that a
gold vein was concealed in the
ground, and if so, they are deter
mined to locate it.
The tests which are being made
are on lands owned by Supervisor
John Lyons, the tract consisting
OF l60 acres About year ago
Il little exploring was done on
the same land, and an analysis
made of the find, but the re-
result whatever it was, was not
made public, doubtless for rea-
sons best known to the parties
interested.
Mr.. Lyons was in town Thurs
day and upon being interviewed by
THE SENTINEL, he said:
Exploring has been going on
for the past two weeks, but as
the weather has been rather bad,
but little has been accomplished.
1t has been the theory for some
time that the land contained
something rich, and if such proves
to be the case we are bound to
find it. There is nothing more
that | can say regarding the matter
at present,
There is no question but that
thousands of acres of lands in
this portion of the upper penin-
sula contain valuable mineral de-
poSits of some description, and
should part of it prove to be
the precious yellow metal, SO
much the better.

Pay Your Taxes.

Property owners who have neglect
ed 70 pay their taxes are apt to find
they made serious mistake liable
to cost them their homes or heavy
expenditures to hold them. Under
the law of 1893 a tax title for taxes
for that or previous years is about
as good as warranty deed. The
redemption period has now expired
and recent decisions by the supreme
court lcaSe scarcely doubt as to
the validity Of. these tax deeds, In
many parts of the state spectators
have been quietly securing these tax
titles from the state. and the first
notice the property holders have is
in the form of an invitation to the
holder OF the tax title to vacate the
premises or settle al heavy cash
outlay.
A case is reported from Flint that
illustrates how this thing is work
ing. In that city man who had
neglected to pay "a tax of 81 II on
his house, valued at S400, found a
tax title man had a deed OF it. and
the former was obliged to pay $3.50
to settle with the tax title man
This is only a sample case. There
are others very similar to this one
in various parts of Michigan. People
who for any reason have failed to
pay their taxes for 1893 should not
be surprised to find that some one
else holds deed from the state on
their property. A tax title secured
under the law of 1893 is very dif-
ferent thing from those obtained
under prior laws. Property owners
cannot be too careful about paying
their taxes now, for they must un-
derstand that it is only by so doing
that they can make certain to
preserve their titles. The tax title
man is abroad in the land, but he is
no terror to people who make sure
to pay their taxes.

A BRUTAL MURDER.
Alexander BoultOn, OF Ncwberry,
Killed by a Drunken Fellow.

Newberry was the scene of a foul
murder last Saturday evening, the
victim being Alexander Boulton, an
aged and highly respected citizen,
vino was stabbed to death by Rich
ard Palmer,
( About 6:l5 Palmer went to Boul-
ton S house and said he wished to
see Boulton on business and they
went to David Ribcrg 5 saloon
and we've in there II few minutes
when Palmer called for drink, but
could not pay for it, and Boulton,
not being drinking man, did not
drink, and they sat down. Palmer.
who was under the influence Of
liquor and without any provocation
Whatever, drew large jacGnife and
stabbed Boulton through the heart.
Boulton fell TO the floor, and Thomas
Boulton, son of the deceased, came
in and his father said, TON, I'm
done for, and died. Palmer sat in
his chair fifteen minutes before the
officers came. He does not realize
what he has done, Palmer is q
worthless fellow about 80 years of
age. Alexander Boulton was over
~ and a much respected man.

The Cold, Wet Weather the Past
Week Has Been Bad for
Vegetation.
RE-PLANTING is NECESSARY
In Many Southern Counties
Fruit Not Injured to
Any Extent.

The Michigan weather crop bulletin,
which was issued Tuesday, says: "The
weather for the past week has been
favorable for rye, meadows, pastures
and field work, but too cold for much
growth Of other vegetation and for
the termination OF corn and oats.
The cold, wet ground has rotted
some corn and necessitated consider
able replantng, some correspond
ents saying that a second replant
ing has been necessary in some of
the southern counties. Outside of
rye, meadows and pastures, nearly
all vegetation has been at stand
still during the past seven days.
Corn planting and plowing has been
pushed in nearly all sections and
much of the work accomplished; this
has been about the first week which
has allowed of uninterrupted prog
ress in field work and farmers have
made the most of it. Corn planting
is nearing completion and potato
planting is well started, Active
preparations have been in progress
for bean planting and some beans
are already in the ground. The con-
dition of meadows aud pastures is
generally very (ine. Rye is now head
ing in nearly all parts of the lower
peninsula, pastures provide ample
fodder, and meadows promise splen-
did hay crop. Oats are nearly all
planted The continued cold and wet
weather which delayed oat seeding
so much has decided many farmers
not to SOW as much oats as was
originally intended. The continued
cold and wet condition of the ground
has been unfavorable TO the crop
and oats have come up slowly, and
in many cases whore the ground is a
little low or heavy they look yellow
and sickly. trait has not been in
iured to any general or considerable
extent by the ,frosts and is now in
blossom as far north as the upper
peninsula. Strawberries are ripen-
ing in the extreme southern part of
the state and are being picked for
the market.

POSToTFICE DISCONTINUED
Hereafter People at NewtOnvillc
Will Receive Their Mail
At Assinins.

AS stated in TIE SENTINEL last
week, E. ID. Newton, who resides
at Newtonville, and who has been
postmaster at that place for
several years, is soon to remove to
Mackinac, and commencing Tues
day, the people will henceforth
receive their mail at Assinins. as
the office at Newtonville has been
ordered discontinued.
A petition was circulated few
days ago, and signed by nearly all
of the settlers, requesting the ap-
pointment of f. LaFerniere as
postmaster, who resides about two
miles from where the old Office
was located, but it appears that
the petition was too late, as Con-
gresham Carlos d. Sheldon, after
due inquiry, had been unable to
receive satisfactory reports, and
had recommended to headquarters
that the Office be abolished, which
was accordingly complied with.
Simon Denomie, the genial post
master at Assinins, will now have
additional work on his hands in the
mail business, but the people may
rest assured that everything will
be attended to promptly and with
the utmost care.

No Private Postal Cards.

Washington. June Prom the
large number of inquiries now being
received by the postoiiice depart
ment, there seems to be general
belief that congress has authorized
the issue and use OF private postal
cards. mailable at one cent rate OF
postage. This belief is unfounded.
The department has called the at
tcntion OF all postmasters to this
fact and has notified them that no
law has been enacted on the sub
ject. so that private postal cards.
