million and Il quarter dollars. 1t
has paid dividends OF $3.50, 900 and
employs 800 men.
The Baltic is two miles south of
the Atlantic, was opened last year,
employs $50 men and is worth 81
900, 900, though not yet producing

The Quincy mine is worth 81 900, Z.
600, has paid dividends of $40, l20,-
900, and ploys |, 100 men.
The Arcadian mine is worth $2,-

Its Operations Liable to Terrify
Taxpayers-BOunt Means
aHeavy Outlay.
LAW MAY BE REPEALED.
Otherwise the General Fund OF
the State Will
Suffer.

A Lansing dispatch states that
Land Commissioner French has
selected K. L. Ferris, of Bay City,
and W. E. Hall and Albert Pratt, of
Essexville, for positions in connec-
tion with the execution of the beet
sugar law at the Bay City factory.
There were scores of applicants.
Taxpayers are sure to be panic
stricken when they come to know
the actual operations of this law,
and its repeal this winter is regard
ed as more than probable. 1t pro-
vides for the payment of l cent per
pound for all sugar manufactured in
Michigan. The provision is made
for raising in 1897 and 1898, by tax
alton, $4,000 with which to pay
this bounty, but the law says that
if this is not sufficient, the balance
shall be paid out of the general fund
of the state. Thus far the Bay City
factory is the only one built. and as
it expects to manufacture 1000, 900
pounds of sugar this year, the state
will be called on to pay the COM
pany $40, 900 this year
In numerous sections of the state
movements are on foot to erect su-
gar factories, and if several more
are erected next year, it will be
seen that the bounty will grow
enormously. This prospect leads to
the belief that the next legislature
will take radical action to prevent
the increase.
The present law, however, pro-
vides that 1-cent bounty shall be
paid for seven years, SO that, even
ii the law be repealed this winter,
the Bay City company will claim
the bounty for the period named.

Laurium Now
Has Population of Five
Thousand.
FLORIDA IS CLOSE BEHIND
A Street Car Service Is Greatly
Needed in the Copper
Country Towns.

Following is "a Houghton dis
patch to the Detroit Journal:
''The great prosperity now being
enjoyed in the copper district is
finding manifestation in many diff
ferent directions, not the least
prominent of which is in new build
ings. The number Of new dwellings
erected this year at Calumet will be
fully as great as in 1897, when more
houses were built in the metropolis
of copperdom than in Grand Rapids,
the second city Of the state, and
nearly as many as in Detroit. Lau-
rum, suburb of Calumet, which
was incorporated as a village but
three years ago, now has fully 5000
people. The suburb of Florida,
only two years old, has more than
1900 residents, and the suburb of
Lake View promises to have re-
markable growth next year. Calu-
met is now greatly hampered by the
lack of street car lines. Local capi-
tai stands ready to construct rapid
transit system, but the officials of
the Calumet & Hecla refuse to give
right of way across their lands,
and no effective line could be built
without crossing the grounds of
that corporation. A right of way
could be secured by condemnation
proceedings, but none of the local
capitalists care to antagonize the
big company by beginning legal
proceedings. A town of 10000
souls without street car line is an
anomaly in this country.
The village of Laurium is building
a handsome new city hall, as is also
the village of Hancock. The village
of Red Jacket will double the size of
its present city hall next season.
An electric belt line connecting all
the leading towns of the county is
being discussed and capital is ready
to perform the work, and now
awaits the privilege of gaining ac-
cess to Calumet. Such a line would
be more than 80 miles in length, and
would do an enormous business from
the start, having population Of
nearly 70, 900 to draw from. Local
capital, which is accumulating in
the county banks by millions of dol
lars, may undertake the construc-
tion of steam railway between
Houghton and Ontonagon, distance
of 40 miles. Such line would open
mineral territory of vast size and
almost incalculable richness.

The Petition of Mr.. Stephenson
to Have His Name Placed on

A Lansing dispatch says that on
Monday there was filed in the su-
preme court an application for a
mandamus to determine the rights
of S. M. Stephenson in the congress
sional contest with Congressman
Sheldon for the placing of his name
on the ticket as the regular nominee
of the Ishpeming convention.
Mr.. Stephenson asks for an order
directing the election commissioners
OF the various counties in the dis
trict to show cause why they should
not be compelled to print his name
as well as that of Congressman
Sheldon on the regular Republican
ticket, and the supreme court grant
ed the order. The order is return
able Oct. 18th, when the case will
be argued on its merits.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Henry jackson Died Thursday
Evening From Injuries
Received Monday.

Henry Jackson, well known
resident of L'Anse for many years,
died Thursday evening, his death
resulting from an accident which
befell him Monday morning. s.
Mr.. Jackson was employed at
Prickett's lumber camp, about four
miles southeast of this city. While
he and two other men were engaged
in moving three large pieces OF
square timber, one of the timbers
suddenly slipped, striking him in
the lower portion of the stomach.
Another piece was directly behind
him and between the two the un-
fortunate man was held as in a huge
vice. His companions were unable
to move the timber until team of
horses could be procured which took
about ten minutes. After his re-
lease Mr.. Jackson was Immediately
taken to camp and physician sum-
moned. 1t was found that no bones
were broken, and at the time his con-
dition was not regarded as critical.
The following day he was brought
to L 'Anse. He suffered continual
pain, and but few hours before his
death he was able to walk around.
He was conscious to the last, and
knew that he could not recover,
Henry Jackson was born in Nor
folk England, in 1874, and came to
America in 1863, locating in Hough-
ton, where for a number of years
he worked in a mill. In 1875 he
came to L'Anse, where he had
since resided. Two brothers came
with him to this county, James and
William, the former still residing
here and the latter having died in
Montana about seven years ago.
Another brother, John, resides at
Houghton. Besides a mother, who
is 81 years of age, deceased also
leaves FIVE sisters, viz: Mrs. Alex.
Shields, Mrs. H. Kemp, and Mrs. F.
Wright, of this city; Mrs. Joseph
Kerredge, of Hancock, Mrs. Susan
Wing, of Butte, Montana, and one
sister in England
The funeral was held from his late
residence this afternoon at | clock
and was largely attended.

GOES AGAINST PINGREE.
Cannot Get Family Mileage Book
at 2 Cents Mile.

So far as the Michigan courts are
concerned Governor Pingree has
lost his celebrated case against the
Michigan Central company to COM
pei it to sell him a family mileage
book for 2 cents a mile, as required
by the law of 1891. A mandamus
requiring such rate to be made was
granted by the Wayne circuit court
but the company appealed to the SUI
preme court. The company claimed
that its original charter constituted
a contract between it and the state
whereby it was given the right to
fix the rate for transporting pas
sengers within the maximum limit
of 3 cents a mile, and to regulate
the manner of collecting the same,
and that these privileges cannot be
revoked or altered, except upon
compliance with the reservation of
power contained in the charter,
which provides for the company be-
ing compensated therefor The .su-
preme court held against Governor
Pingcee. The case will go to the
federal supreme court.

Charles Shaw, the notorious half
breed Indian, who for several years
has been q familiar figure in
Justice courts, and who has time
and again served time in the county
Jail, has finally received dose
which he will not relish. For the
next year he will perform hard
labor in the Branch Prison at Mar
quette.
On the 2Sth day of August last
Charlie ''took aboard his usual
load of firewater, and upon arriving
home deliberately smashed all of the
furniture and windows in the house
and caused his mother and two
sisters to flee for their lives. The
following day his mother made com
plaint against him and he was ar
rested. When arraigned he pleaded
guilty and in default of furnishing
the required bail he was remanded
to the county Jail to await trial in
the circuit court.
At the opening of court Monday
Shaw was arraigned and again
pleaded guilty and in the afternoon
was sentenced by Judge Haire to
one year in prison.
Shaw was taken to Marquette
Thursday by Sheriff Hid.

trict for Congress.
CULVER COULDN'T RUSH IN
His Great Itching for Congress
siOnal HOnOrs This Time
Nipped I'm the Bud.

S. S. Curry, OF Ironwood, was
nominated at Escanaba Saturday
afternoon by the Democrats of this,
the Twelfth district, for congress.
The convention was called to order
at IL O. clock in the morning by John
j. Sourwine, secretary of the con-
gressional committee. Frank Moore,
of Marquette, was elected temporary
chairman, and Robert Wright, of
Munising, secretary. A committee
on credentials was appointed con-
sisting of Patrick Flanagan, of
Iron Mountain, "A. J. Brown and M.
]. Powers, of Marquette. A com
mittee on resolutions, its members
being ]. j. Sourwine, G. S. Beadle
and P. F. Small, was then appoint
ed and the assemblage adjourned
until 2 o clock p. m.
When the convention met in the
afternoon the temporary organiza-
tion was made permanent and the
committee on credentials submitted
its report. Schoolcraft, Ontonagon
and Keweenaw counties were found
to be unrepresented; Houghton
county was represented by creden-
tials, but there being no delegates
present they were thrown out, and
not all of the other counties were
fully represented
John j. Sourwine nominated Rush
Culver, of Marquette, and G. ID. Nc
Even placed the name of Solomon
S. Curry, of Ironwood, before the
convention. A lively discussion fol-
lowed as to representation, the Cul-
yer crowd wanting to cast the en-
tire vote of counties partially rep
resented. But it didn t go. On the
first informal ballot Mr.. Curry re-
ceived "a votes and Culver 10, and
on motion the former was made the
unanimous choice of the convention
Hugh Mclaughlin, of Iron Noun
tain, was elected chairman and Pat
trick Flanagan secretary of the
congressional committee.

A Judge'sView Of Caucus System.

1t is possible that an attempt may
be made in the coming legislature,
as there has been in nearly all pre-
ceding legislatures, to frame new
law governing political primaries,
conventions and elections that will
remove them still farther from the
influence of political schemers.
Judge Robert III. Frazer of Detroit,
said the other day:
"Our present system is a dis
grace to any civilized country. The
practical working of the system in
that the delegates to the various
conventions are chosen not by the
people, but by the politicians. The
whole system should be changed by
allowing every man who votes at
the caucus to vote directly for the
man of his choice for the various
offices. Then the men receiving the
largest number Of votes for given
office would be the nominees. The
political convention would thus be
abolished, and the business of the
ward heeler and striker would 60
glimmering."
II such a law is passed by the
next legislature it will be great
step toward reform.
