STRUCK 1T RICH.
Champion Men Find Gold in
Montana Averaging 81 ZOO
tO,the Ton.

Tuesdays Chicago Record pub
lished the following dispatch from q
special correspondent:
Helena, Mont, July 9.-It now
seems probable that the ledge from
which originated the worlds richest
half-acre of placer ground-Montana
bar-near Helena-and from which
six men in one placer season panned
out $41, 900, 500 in gold dust, has,
after many years search, been dis
covered. Christopher Miller and
son, of Champion, Mich, who have
been operating claim in Confeder-
ate gulch, have just received the re-
turns from a shipment of ore which
averaged nearly 81 600 ton in gold,
by far the richest ore encounterod d
in Montana for many years. The
ore comes from marrow seams, fire.
quently only quarter Of an inch
in width, which cut through the
rock in true fissure veins. Some of
these seams are so rich that they
are almost solid gold. The little
quartz that is in ithe vein is bound
together with strips and nuggets OF
gold worth $16.50 an ounce. They
follow these seams, take out the
rich ore, crush it in a mortar to the
size of peas, pan out the free gold
and ship the tailings to the snelter.
They show very rich specimens. Mr..
Miller, Jr., had pin made OF a mug
get worth $29. The nuggets which
they get by panning run from a few
cents to as high as $29. The seams
are continuous for at least 500 feet
so far as developed. They are down
to depth in one place of thirty
five and in several places Of twenty
and twenty-five feet.

Two Marquette Boys Probably
Characters In q Lake
Tragedy.
THEIR CANOE RECOVERED
Believed to Have Lost their Lives
Saturday q Short Distance
off Presque Isle.

What is believed beyond all rea.
sonable doubt to have beena tragedy
was enacted at Marquette Saturday
last, says the Mining Journal, but
was not known till Tuesday, al
though prior to that some fears
were entertained.
Howard Longyear, the nineteen
year old son Of J. M. Longyear, and
Hugh Allen, eighteen years old, the
son OF E. w. Allen, treasurer of the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
railroad, left Marquette saturday
morning 10 paddle up to the Huron
Mountain club in small canoe
which belonged to young Longyear.
They we're last seen at $50 clock
Saturday morning off Gull island,
by Captain Cleary of the life saving
crew. The recovery since of their
empty, capsized canoe, leads to the
inference that they were svertaken
by one Of the numerous sqalls which
blew that day and both.drowned.

PUBLIC LANDS IN u. p.
There Are Yet 251,557 Acres
Open to HOmeSteaders.

The report OF the United States
land Office at Marquette shows that
there are still 251, ,557 acres in the
public domain in upper Michigan.
A year ago, there was 288, 458 acres.
Nearly $1,000 acres have been taken
up in the past twelve months. The
most land has been pre-empted in
Marquette, Houghton and Ontona-
gon counties, in the two last by
reason of the copper boom, every
piece that promised to obtain cop
per being homesteaded.
Chippewa has the largest acreage
of unclaimed lands, 69,208; Mar
quette comes second with 50,284.
Gogebic county has the least, 944
acres. The total for the lower
peninsula, which is also handled
through the Marquette land Office,
is 25O, 900 acres, but spread through
more counties than In the upper
part of the state.

HIATT MattsOn Hung Himself to
the Rafters of Hay
Shed.
HAD BEEN ON A SPREE.
Formerly Resided at HOughton.
But Had Been Working at
Laird Since Spring.

Matt Mattson committed suicide
at Laird by hanging himself to the
rafters of a shed at late hour
Tuesday night. Mattson was at one
time a resident of, Houghton, says
the Gazette, but since early spring
had been employed by one or the
other Of the firms of contractors at
work on the extension of the
Mineral Range railroad at that
place.
During the past two weeks he
had been on protracted spree, and
Tuesday he did not have cent left.
Those who saw him in the early
part of the evening of that day
thought he was acting rather queer
ly, as he was seen going cut OF the
house about O'Clock with strap
in his hand. After he had been
gone a few minutes search was
made for him, and when he saw he
was being followed he returned to
the house, where he remained for
about a half hour. He then went
out again and when he did not re-
turn, after having been gone a
couple of hours, another search was
made and his body was found hang
ing to the rafters of hay shed. He
had gone into the barn, when he
went out the second time, taken a
line off one of the harnesses there,
and hung himself with it. When
found the body was still warm, but
life was extinct. The body was i'm
mediately cut down and Deputy
Sheriff Thomas Nichols was notified
early Wednesday morning. The
officer found that the man had a
wife and several children in Finland,
but he had secured divorce from
his wife. He was about 40 years old.
The officer drove to Baraga, and
went to Houghton on the first train.
He notified Coroner Brand, who de-
cided that an inquest was not neces-
sary. The remains were buried at
Laird.

Items Of Interest Taken Fro m
Our Exchanges and

NORTHWESTERN COMING IN
Reported That 1t Is Buyoe its
Right of Way and That Survey
Has Already Been Made.

The Houghton Gazette states that
it has it ON good authority that the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway
company is buying up right OF
way from the town of Interior north
to junction with the Copper Range
railroad at Range Junction. 1t is
also said that survey of the route
has already been made. This latter
report substantiates the statement
made by some of the homesteaders
several months ago when they said
they saw the Chicago & Northwest
ern companys crew of surveyors
working in the woods in that dis
trict. The statement is made by
railroad men who are in position
to know whereof they speak, al
though it is not confirmed by offic-
ials of the Northwestern.
An Ontonagoa dispatch states
that among the missionaries report
ed slain by the Chinese rebels in
Pekin is Miss Nellie N. Russell, who

Precautions Against Lightning.


Facts about lightning collected by
the weather bureau show that the
greatest number of fatalities last
year, or 40 per cent, occurred in the
open; the next greatest number, "a
per cent, occurred in houses; IL per
cent occurred under trees; and the
least of all, 8 per cent, occurred in
barns.
A dozen persons, mostly women,
were killed either while taking
clothes from wire lines. or while
near the lines during q thunder
storm. 1t is well known that in the
cities many wire clothes lines are
extended between the dwellings and
trees or the back fence. This is a
source Of danger; wires should never
connect house with a neighboring
tree. If wire is used at all, it should
not be stretched within fifty feet of
dwelling house.
Here are some precautions that
are recommended during thunder
storms:
Persons in house should avoid
chimneys and open windows. The
safest place is probably the middle
of the room. In the open, persons
should never seek the shelter OF
trees. Wire fences and live stock
should be avoided. If on horseback
it is wise to dismount and wait un
til the storm passes away.

FUMES OF DEATH.
Sad Fate OF Two Young Men At
Marquette.

Wednesday morning about 4
O'Clock workman employed at the
Carp River furnace at Marquette as
cended the stairway which leads up
the side Of the big stack and on the
third landing, in a sheltered place,
discovered the bodies of two young
men who had been overcome by
charcoal fumes emitted from q near
by vent hole.
The place is warm, sheltered and
cut Of the rain and it is apparent
that they had climbed in there some
time during the night before to get
protection from the storm and sleep
through till daylight. 1t is prob
able, cold and wet as they were. that
they fell asleep as soon as the CRATE
ful warmth struck their bodies, and
they did not notice the noxious gas
which was being given out through
the vent. Death probably was not
long in coming, as it is claimed that
it would be impossible for man to
live where they were for over an
hour.
Investigations carried on by a
coroner at Marquette, with the aid
of the Oberlin, O., police, revealed
the identity Of the two men. They
were Oscar ]. Lewis and James B.
Gilman, the former of Calumet, and
the latter of Rochester, N. Y. Both
young men were students at Oberlin
University and were on their way
to Lewis home at Calumet. A tel
egram received from Oberlin says
they left there June 28th. From
appearances they were roughing it,
catching rides on freight trains
when opportunity offered sand foot
ing it when not SO fortunate. When
they reached Marquette they were
practically out of funds, their total
cash assets amounting to but thirty
five cents, which was Gin the pos
session of Lewis.

of reservoir securities. Stated simply, it is a proposition that the county put itself on an exactly equal plane with private investors, except that the county has the "best of 1t" in that it does not part with it's money until the reservoir is finished, whereas the other investors have not that privilege. Af- forwards the county would have the tent of it's investment, and would have the same protection as individual in vestors-no more and no less. In short, it is a proposal that the people of the county prove the faith they profess to have in the money making features Of the reservoir by putting some of their own money in it.

Senator Wellington is opposed to im- perialism, and for that reason will work against McKinlcy's reelection; but he does not love Bryan and is not prepared to work for him. Nevertheless he fs going into the campaign, though he says he does not know yet just what he will do in it. Senator Wellington is a man who has never distinguished him. self as a statesman so much as he has won a reputation for having his own way. He will probably vacillate bs- tween Mckinley and Bryan until it is too late for him to GO effective work for either.
