The members of the Pacific advisory board have received notice that at the meeting of the executive committee of the American Kennel Club, held on the 14th inst, a decision was reached that certain members were removed from of flee for cause and the vice-president of the A. K. C. was requested to appoint a special committee to act as board un- til the election of new board is held in compliance with article XIII, section 4, of the constitution.
 the secretary of the A. k. c. states that at the same meeting of the executive board the complaint of the San Francis co Kennel Club against J. B. Martin for conduct prejudicial to dogs and dog shows was thrown out of court for want of evidence.
 An unofficial letter was received from the same source intimating that the new rules proposed by the San Francisco Ken nel Club, even if adopted and recon mended by the convention, would receive no consideration from the A. K. C.
 It has been decided by the new rules committee of that body that no further modification of the classification will be permitted, with the exception that cer- tain large shows will be designated as the only ones at which champlonship honors will be conferred. On the Pacific Coast San Francisco will be the only one entitled to this honor
 Of course, this means declaration or open war on the coast and will be so accepted. The convention of kennel clubs will meet, adopt the rules as now TOT mulated or amended, and send them to the A. K. C. thus indorsed. If, as fore shadowed, the proposed rules are reject ed, 1t Is more than probable that the cl1Ibs of the coast will execute the oft threatened secession and form a local kennel league. There can be no doubt that the league will be a strong one ana will be on a firm basis.

Wrinkle, who lays claim to a large piece of land upon the shores of Owens Lake An old act permitted citizen to file upon land formed by receding waters, but only GAO acres can be thus secured. One survey showed that Wrinkles piece was less than this amount, but second survey showed that there were GAP acres. Mrs. Sherman made application to purchase the land and the point in her complaint to get Wrinkle off the land was that he held more than allowed by law and should be dispossessed of The whole. She was sue cessful In the lower court. but the Su- preme Court took the position that Wrin- kle could not have known the exact amount. and that lie could not be accused of filing on more than the law permits

DR.. Nelson P. Hulst, general
superintendent of the Oliver

Nick Cowling in charge of Sec
ton rs mine at Ely last Friday
and relieved John G.. Brown. one
of the fee owners, who has had
personal supervision of all. work
d one Up to this time, says the
Herald. Capt. Cowling has been
employed at the Pioneer mine
and is thoroughly familiar with
the work. Mr.. Brown returned
to Duluth Saturday, having for
mally turned the mine over to
the Oliver company. DR.. Hulst
went to Mountain Iron Friday
and arrived in Duluth Saturday
after noon, leaving the same day
for Milwaukee.
DR.. Hulst was agreeably sur.
prlsed with his first inspection
of section 26 and said that in his
twenty years experience with
iron mines in the Lake Superior
district he had never seen as
thorough and as clean a piece Of
prospect work as was shown
there. He had expected TO see
a prospect and had found . mine.
The work will be continued
vigorously and as much of the
ore body opened up as practic-
able before spring. 1t is i'm
possible at this time to say hov;
much ore will be taken out and
shipped during the coming sea-
son, but the indications are that
if the mine is worked as it is
possible to work it that fully
100, 600 tons will be produced.
