A Decision Has Been Given
Against the State of
Michigan.
SUPPLEMENTAL LISTS HOLD
Do Not Embrace Territory Be-
fore Ceded-The BOis Blanc
Island Case.

A Washington dispatch Of Satur-
day last says: Secretary of the In
terror Bliss today rendered a num-
Der of decisions involving contests
for lands in the upper peninsula,
claimed by the state Of Michigan un-
der the swamp land grant These
cases have been pending in the de-
partmcnt for some time awaiting q
decision of the questions involved
by the supreme court The most
important case is that which shows
that in 1889 the state transmitted u
motion for review of depar tmental
decision, rejecting the claim of the
state to certain tracts of lands in
the upper peninsula, These lands
had been reported to the land office
as swamp and were embraced in two
lists approved by the secretary of
the interior in 1858 and 1854, but
upon the discovery that the surveys
upon which selections were made
were erroneous, supplemental lists
were made which did not embrace
the lands in controversy, and these
lists were held to abrogate and
supercede all lists made prior thereto.
The state claimed that the first GER
tification was conclusive of it's right
to the land not embraced in the sec
ond certificate. and that its right to
the land not embraced in such GER
tifications was absolutely confirmed
both as to the lands selected under
the original as well as the corrected
survey.
The department denied the claim
of the state upon the ground that
the lands were enormously embrace
ed in certifica,ions based on original
surveys that were erroneous; the
state was not entitled to such lands
as were not of the character grant
ed, and that the secretary of the in
terror was authorized to correct
such certi6cations in accordance
with the facts. 1t is held that the
supreme court, in the cases of Mich
igan Land and Lumber Co. VS.. Rust,
fully sustained the position of the
department, and the states motion
for review is accordingly denied
The same decision is rendered in
the cases of United States VS.. State
of Michigan, ID. Bennett ct al VS..
Michigan, the facts being identical.
In the case of the state against
Oscar E. Fosdick, involving lands on
Bois Blanc island, the case is re-
manded to the local office to deter
mine the character of the land at the
date of the swamp land grant, as
near as may be obtained, after no
tice to all parties.

A SMALL BLAZE.
But Little Damage Resulted,
However, Except BY Water.

Wednesday afternoon about
O'Clock smoke was discovered
pouring out of the windows in the
upper story of the Norton block,
occupied by D. Levitan and
family. The alarm was promptly
responded to by the hose ceIhppny,
and the fire quickly ex-
tinguished. The store rooms in the
block are occupied by jacobson &
Levitan, dealers in dry goods and
clothing, and the principal damage
to their stock was caused by water
coming down in the store from the
rooms above.
The fire was caused by one of
Mr.. Levitan g little daughters
dropping match. Mr.. Levitan
was out of town at the time, and
Mrs. Levitan sick in bed.
The firm had insurance on the stock
but as the adjusters have not yet
arrived it is impossible to state
the amount of damage, although
it will amount to several hundreds
of dollars. The damage to the
building is small.

Entire Product Of the Cham

The entire product of the Cham
pion iron mine at Champion has
been contracted for by New York
concern. The Champion is supply
ing solid slabs of magnetic iron ore
which are being used to replace
platinum as anodcs in the collection
of chlorine gas. The magnetic oxide
slabs have been proved practically
indestructible and are better con
ductors of electricity than any other
agent thus far discovered. Sixty
tons have been exhausted in the ex-
periments at,New York. Hereto
fore Russia has furnished the only
known magnetic oxide, but the Rus
sian product is said to be inferior to
the Michigan ore and the expense of
