good example of wha. development will do, and an object lesson in eCer- getic working of promising mining property, whether gold or copper, Is af- forded in the case e the Calument & Hecla, Mich. Copper Mining company. In brief note thereon. the BCs!on News Bureau of the 4th inst. says: "The present richness Of the Calument S1 Hecla mine was a. one time entirely owned by President Mason of the Quincy Mining company, and . large part of the richness of the Quincy was at one time in the control of the Frank lin Mining company. II either the St. Mary's company CT it's subsequent own eI, Mir Mason Of the Quincy Mining company, had kept the ground each one time owned, the Calumet & Hecla mine would not to-day be in existence, and possibly the entire copper region of Michigan might be little more than q lumber camp. It is the wonderful manufacturing development made by the Calumet & Hecla Mining company with q dozen shafts and $20,OO0,0 900 of machinery ard plant that has given the impetus to Lake Superior copper mining.

HOW TO CONTROL REDSKINS.
Wild Indians Should Be Turncd Over
 to the War Department.

The proper way to keep the Indians peaceable is to right their wrongs. De not send soldiers after the Indians, but after the Indian agents, whiskey deal- CTS, deputy marshals, and timber thieves. These Indians have rights ard they know their rights. They can tell you every treaty that has been sign q with their nation since 1783, and they can tell you just how and by whom each treaty has been broken. Chief Falmouth. in a council talk, said: Your white men have shed blood of our young men along the shores Of this flake for years. and yet never have they been prosecuted. The prairie Sioux have shed our blood, and they have not been prosecuted. We rise for the first time to defend our rights and you send soldiers to kill us. and we will be prosecuted. Your young men are the cause Of this trouble, and our young men will end l..
 It is unlawful to sell liquor on an h.

He served beEr and whiskey to all on board, including Commissioner Jones and two Indian agents.

The Indian agents took their drinks and laughingiy showed me the beCr bottles labeled ginger ale" There were several h. dians on the boat. They saw the men who were there to set laws and exact right from them transgresss the most rigid of all Indian reservation laws. and il is no wonder that the Indians think there is one law for white men and another for them.
 What is needed in northern Minne- scta is not an armed force of soldiers, but a man of force and power to inves- tigate Indian agents. timber thives. whiskey dealers. and United States marshals and deputy marsha!s. Above all. what is needed is to turn the In- Gians over to the charge of the army and the war department, by which they arc understood.- Weekly.

WOLFRAM1TE PROPERTIES.
Are Loated in the Dragoon Mountains
 Not Far FrCm Bisbee.

Perry l.. Smith will leave Bisbee this week to join his partners, Murdoch Frazier and John and Asa Walker, in prospecting and development work on a mining claim they own in the Dra- gocn mountains near Russellville, and also near the wOlframite claims sold by Mir. Smith and others to Philadelphia parties few months ago.
 The parties to whom these claims were sold are now working about sixty men on them, their labor being mostly done in extracting surface ore along the line of the lead carrying wolfram ite, sinking being done in one place only and the depth already attained being but little over forty feet. The lead is plainly traceable about three miles, says the Orb. IL runs nearly east and west, and valuable ore is found on or very near the surface along the lead sc far as it has been proSpected. There fore the necessity of dead work or even any extensive development work has thus far been. obviated. The claim now about to be opened up by Mr. Smith and his associates, he consid- CTS more rich in wolframfte than any Of those sold, the number Of which was over twenty all together, he having held an interest in seventeen of them, from which he realized a very hand some sum in cash This is very clear ly shown by his purchase of valuable real estate in Wilcox, and the more recent ones i'll Bisbee.
 The history Of the claim now to en- gage MT. Smiths attention and labors is Interesting to prOspectOrS. The mining district in which it is situated has been prC5Pected and more or less continu- ously worked for gold and silver for twenty years, although originally for copper About 9 year ago three tons of ore were shipped from it to the Fl Paso s1nelters which returned to the shippers $22,J0 for gold and silver, bus nc mention was made of the ore con taining any other metal of value. Sub- sequently the owners learned of the value of the ore in wolframite, which reached about $500 per ton of ore. When they commenced looking for wolframfte they found many tors inn mediately on the surface. and picked up three tons within few feet Of the main wagon read.

About the bottom fact now known about gold is tha, all original pyrites of small grain texture contain gold 10 a greater or less extent.

Governor Taylor, of Tennessee,
issued q lengthy card Friday night
addressed to the people, in which he
announces that he will retire from
politics at the close of his term as
governor. This will leave Senator
Bate clear field in his candidacy for
reelection to the United States senate.
Governor Taylor, in part, says:

Der from politics. do 80 because I
am tired of political life; I am tired
Of its narrowing antagonism; I am
tired Of its unjust accusations and its
violent contention; I am tired Of it
because as I grow older I find myself
less and less able to bear the stings of
criticism and the stabs OF Islander; 1
am tired of it because there is no
peace in it for me, and because I be-
lieve that I can do more good and
have more friends, and more happi-
ness in the private walks Of life.
"To those who have SO generously
and vigorously sustained me, and who
are even now working and planning to
crown me with the highest honor in
the gift OF our people, I wish to express
my deep and undying gratitude and
love. For those who have opposed me
in political life I have nothing but
good will and the olive branch"

NO TINE DESIGNATED
A. To when the Verdict Of Board VIII
Re Made.


A Washington special says: 1t was
developed Friday afternoon through
telegrsphic correspondence between
Secretary Long and Admiral Sicard that
the court OF inquiry is unable to fix even
an approximate date for the conclu-
sion Of its investigation into the dis
aster OF the Maine.
Sharing the general anxiety for
some information on this point, Secre-
tary Long, Friday, at the instance of
the cabinet, sent a telegram to Admit
raj Sicard asking him when it WAS ex-
pected that the report of the court
would be made, and late Friday night
the following reply was received
KEY WEST, Fla, March 4--Secretary of
the Navy; Have talked with the president
OF the court Of inquiry and agree with him
that 1t is not yet possible to fiI date for
the finding, as SO much depends upon the
progress Of the divers and wreckers and
the results they obtain. Every effort is
being made to advance the inquiry. The
court returns to Havana by the Msngrove
this evening, having about finished the ex-
animation at Key West. sIcARD.
Admiral Sicard's message is regard
ed officially as disposing Of the reports
that the court has yet obtained posi-
tive or conclusive information bearing
upon the object Of the invetigation.
1t is taken to mean that upon the
testimony or discoveries Of the divers
will depend the finding, the examina-
ton of the officers and crew Of the ship
having been insu fficient to enable the
court to even form an idea as to what
lines may be opened up from the in
vestigation OF the wreck itself.
While the telegram was naturally
somewhat of disappointment in leav-
ing the termination of the inquiry as
much in doubt as ever, it was well
coined as practically setting at rest the
reports as to the results OF the investi-
cation up to date.
