RIGHTS OF CLAIM OWNERS.

A correspondent OF the Denver Re-
publican inquiries il an adverse claim can
be filed after the commencement OF the
advertisement for patent on claim
which it is proposed to adverse. The
editor Of the Republican gives the fol-
lowing answer: During the period of
60 days Of advertising the application for
a patent, which follows the approval OF
the survey OF mining claim, any one
believing that he has a better title to
the ground than the applicant may
bring an adverse suit against the claim
ant by filing adverse paper in the United
States land Office for the district in
which the survey is located. One OF the
essential things in such suit is AN ad.
verse plat, which must be made by a
United States deputy mineral surveyor
1t must be made from an actual survey
on the ground, and SO certified to by
him. The survey must describe the con-
fict said to exist, and must be descrip.
tion by metes and bounds, and the area
OF the conflict must be stated. The
calculations arc made in exactly the

BIGGER SHELTER NOT NEEDED

j. b. Grant, chairman of the operating
committee of the American Smelling
and Refining company, returned frum
New York Sunday, says the Denver Re-
publican. Regarding the report that
the company proposes to increase the
capacity of the Union plant at Leadvllle,
Governor Grant says that nothing has
been definitely settled. The matter has
been discussed to some extent, but it is
not probable that any change has been
made. There has been some increase in
the amount of smelling ore produced,
but the increase does not yet justify an
increase in the capacity of the smeter.
The plant is of the old type, but it has
worked satisfactorily so far, and the
only reason for its reconstruction would
be heavy increase in the ore output of
the state. Whatever is done will be
only after the most careful consideration,
which has not yet been given the mat
ter. The average price of lead sales last
week was s4.3214 100 pounds, and this
figure will form the basis of settlement
for ore purchases during the present
week

TO IMPROVE FOX RIVER.
Company Organized in Chicago to make
the Little Stream Navigable.

Direct attack upon congress by the
aid of friendly senator or representa-
tive is the course of action which has
been determined upon by the Fox River
Improvement association to have the
Fox declared a navigable interstate
stream on which the government may
spend money in making it passab1e for
boats. No survey has ever been made
of the stream by the war department.
The object of the association, which
is made up principally of Chicago board
of trade men, manufacturers and mer-
chants, is to have the Fox river made
navigable up into Wisconsin as it is
now in it's Illinois stretches. Boats
cannot get through on account of shall
low water, but with government dams
it is claimed the water could be raised
so that passenger steamers and private
pleasure boats could cross into Wiscon-
sin. It is represented that the enter
prise is too large to be undertaken by
private capital.

Former Companion of the Missing
Man States That He is Now
Working in the KIondike.
HAS BEEN MISSING OVER A YEAR
His Companion States That He Went to
Alaska six Months Ago-Will Return to
Kenosha When He Makes Fortune.

John Berry, who disappeared from
this city something over a year ago,
and whom, it was feared, had met
with foul play, has been heard from,
and one of his former companions,
who is employed at the Chicag
ford Hosiery Works, states positively
that Berry is now in the gold fields OF
Alaska. Berry, according to the story,
has been in the gold fields for more
than six months. He left Kenosha
suddenly one night, but since his pres
ent whereabouts have been discovered
a number of men who were formerly
EMPLOYED with him admit that they
were acquainted with the fact that the
fellow had intended going to the
K1ondike.
Berry left behind a wife and ayoung
child and they have kept up continu-
GUS search for him ever since he left
home. The police have been con-
stantly on the lookout for any
trace of the man, but all their
efforts have been in vain. The
former friends of the man refuse
to give out his address, but they state
that they are certain that he is alive
and well and that he will return to
Kenosha when he has made something
of a fortune in the gold regions.
Berry is a very unpopular man among
the workmen at the factory and some
of the men have declared that if he re-
turns to Kenosha it will go exceeding
1y hard with him. One of the main
reasons for his leaving the city was
said to be the fact that some of the
factory men had made threats against
him.
The finding of a trace of Berry will
remove one of the oldest stock mys-
teries of the police department, and
while the man may never return to
Kenosha, the search for him will be
stopped. It is not known what has be-
come of the wife of the man, but she is
said to be still residing in the city.
AS the friends of Berry are unwi11-
ing to give out his present address 1t
is not probable that the police will
seek to probe into the matter.

Safe in the Blush Saloon Was Robbed
tuesday Morning and Consider
able Money Was Secured.
ROBBER is SAID TO BE KNOWN.
But the Money Has Been Returned to the
owner and if the Young Man Returns to
Kenosha He Will Not be Arrested.

1t has just leaked out that one of the
most daring daylight robberies ever
committed in Kenosha was committed
at the saloon of Edward Blush on Main
street Tuesday morning, when well
known young man of the city, under
the very eyes of the owner and man
ager of the saloon is said to have rif1ed
the safe of its contents. No arrests
have as yet DSen made and it is limited
that the parents and friends of the
young man have fixed the matter up in
such manner that he will not be pro-
secuted.
The crime was of a most daring
nature. The safe in the saloon is sit
uated near the front of the building
and is shut off from the remainder of
the room by little iron railing. On
the morning of the robbery the safe
had been left standing open and the
money drawer disclosed to public view
a roll of bank notes.
At the time of the robbery Mr. Blush
had stepped to the rear of the saloon to
hold a conversation with one of his
A1ACA1oSs Il liz SAOOA w OPSANA
and the young man was seen to come
in. He walked up to the counter and
when Blush saw him he was within the
rail near the safe. Blush inquired as
to what he was doing in the railing
and the fellow replied that he had
dropped his hat and had gone in to get
it. Blush thought nothing more of the
matter and a short time later the young
man left the saloon and the town. AS
soon as he had finished talking Mr..
Blush went to the safe and discovered
that the roll of bills had been taken.
He at once suspected the man and had
a search made for him, but no trace
could be found. He had not returned
to his home and did not return. Later
Blush reported the case to the family
of the young man and they made good
the loss. The young man is still miss
ing, but it is stated that he will not be
prosecuted if he returns to the city.
The fellow has long been suspected
by the police and when he returns to
the city he will be closely watched.

MARTIN ALLEN SHOT
BY DAVID DAVIS
Injured Man Resides at Moosic-His
Life Is Despaired Of by Physi-
cian-Cause of Shooting.

Martin Allen, of Moosic, was shot and
perhaps fatally wounded yesterday
morning by David Davis, of No. 4, a
small settlement in Moosic borough,
near what Is known as Oak hill.
Allen owns a few houses at No.
and recently he purchased some old
buildings belonging to the Pennsylva-
mia Coal company. situated near the
old No. 4 plane. Yesterday morning he
was tearing these down and Davis
fence being very close, he broke 1t
down while tearing away the old build
ings. Davis came out and upbraided
him for doing this. Allen owns the
house where Davis lives, and feeling
that he was justified in what he was
doing, he said but little to Davis.
The latter went into his house, but
he shortly returned and when about
twenty yards away he fired at Allen.
A shotgun was the weapon used. The
charge entered Aliens back and legs,
making a number of ugly and danger
Gus wounds.
Allen was carried into an adjoining
house and later was conveyed to his
home at MoOsic, where he was at
tended by Dr. Berge, of Avoca. The
latter said last night that his patient
was in a very dangerous condition and
he could offer no great encouragement
for his recovery.
During the afternoon Davis was ar
rested by County Detective Leyshon
and last night was lodged in the county
Jail.
Both Allen and Davis are married
men and are about forty-tive years OF
age.
The Allen family has been sadly
afflicted during the past few years
About year ago a daughter died very
suddenly. and shortly after a second
daughter became i'll and she wasted
ava. until there was scarcely anything
| left but a mere form. she having sub.
sisted on water for more than five
weeks. The doctors succeeded in saw
Inc her life. although she is still quite
helpless.

NO MORE MONEY IN SIGHT.
Kindergartens Must Close Before
End of School Year.

After the present appropriation OF
$1,000 made by the board or cohtroi
for the support of the kindergartens
under the control Of the Free Kinder
garten association has been exhaust-
ed, the said association must seek
other fields for its funds, at least that
was the prevailing sentiment at last
evenings meeting Of the kindergarten
committee.
1t will be remembered that at the
last meeting Of the committee the fact
was brought out that the kindersar-
ten association had misunderstood the
boards intention in appropriating the
$4,000 and as a result had under con-
temptation plans, the carrying out
of which would entail an extra expen-
diture Of $1,000 for which they thought
the board would be responsible.
The committee discussed the matter
thoroughly last evening and decided
that they could not allow the expendi-
ture Of this extra amount and that
$4,000 and no more could be taken out
Of the school treasury for kindergar-
ten purposes AS Miss Underwood
said at the last meeting of the COM
mittee. this will probably entail the
closing of the kindergartens long be-
fore the time set for the closing of
the other schools.
The building committee also met
last evening and awarded the contract
for copper cutters and valleys on new
No. 3S school to Peter Stipp.
