Work on Some of the Properties

DULUTH, Mimi, May 30.--Capt Joseph

In the Seine River gold district, left to-
day for the Bruce country in Eastern
Ontario. where he has relatives
He stated that while the building of the
railroad is reported to be in progress both
east and west from Mine Center, no ac-
tual work was being done in his vicinity
He had some difficulty in getting in sup
plies owing to the lowness of the water
on the Crane Lake route from Tower to
Mine Center. There was upwards of five
miles on which the boats could not oper-
ate between Harding and the Narrows.
However, all the mines were working
just the same and the showings they
made were good.
The visit of President Wood and some
of the directors to the Golden Star has
had the effect of pushing the work on
that property more vigorously. They are

of forty feet. There was nearly five feet
of ore, running upwards of $3.50 per ton.
Said he:
while the Golden Star is very much
| improved, and there is no doubt that it
is a gold mine, but the best thing L have
seen in that whole country, and l have
been in all the mines of any note and
worked in several of them, is the Ran
dolph. AT a depth of 200 feet the Ran
dolph shows up. some phenomenal ore,
also in the drifts at the $50 foot level. In
my opinion, the only thing needed in the

bullion producer and dividend payer.

also saw a light in the barn, and this

The funeral of the late Col. John Fl.
Stevens, held yesterday from the family
residence, 5H Tenth street, South, was
one of the largest ever held in Min
neapolis.
The remains of Col. Stevens reposed in
the front parlor and the serene majesty
OF death had impaired a restful look to
his line and patriarchial features.
The caSket was almost hidden from
view by the floral offerings which were
very beautiful. Among the designs was a
cross and anchor of red and white car
nations, at the head of the casket, the
tribute from Zion Commandery, of which
Col. Stevens was an honored member
The Commercial club sent an immense
bunch of the ioveiest roses. mostly

jim Cullen certainly had reason for his
wrath. Cullen had hacked to death the
Pressure Isle deputy sheriff and his COM
panion. who went out into the woods to
arrest the big, hulking scOundrel. Twas a
particularly brutal and unDrOVoked crime
and Jim" Cullen was lynched by the in
furiated citizens of the section-but that
is story that have no time to tell
here.
When the news of the double murder
came out to Pressure Isle the brother of
one of the victims became fairly frantic
in his rage. He stormed, he cursed and
raved, and he begged to be allowed to
get at the villain who had done the deed.
The people said, one to another, I'VE
muslin have another tragedy. What s
his-name will be sure to kill Cullen if he
gets at him, and so we must keep them
apart"
Therefore two or three men were de-
tailed to keep guard over the raving
brother and look to it that he didn't form
any connection with Cullen.
The murderer was guarded in a little
sto.e all the day after the crime. He
was to be Kept there till arrangements
could be made to take him to Pressure
Isle village. The store was filled with
arrested him.
All at once the door of the store flew
open and in STROBE a fierce and wild man.
His eyes were rolling, his face was con-
yulsed with rage and grief 1t was the
brother of the victim. He had in some
manner escaped from those that guarded
him, and here he was ten miles from
Pressure Isle looking for the man whom
he had sworn to chew into mlnce meat.
So fierce was the brothers demeanor
that the crowd instinctively broke before
him. A clear aisle was left between him
and the covering Cullen.
The brother strobe forward. Some of
the by-standers turned away their heads.
They expected to see blood fly all over

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS, MAKES
1T PUBLIC
NEED FOR A DEMONSTRATION

of the People.

= WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Mr. William
f. Hearst, president of the National
Association of Democratic clubs, had a
conference with the Democratic leaders
in Washington, at the Metropolitan no.
tel, today, regarding the plan of cam
paign to be followed in the approaching
presidential struggle. Senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee; Representative Richardson,
Democratic leader in the house, and
chairman of the congressional commit
sentative Slayden and others were pres
ent. 1t was agreed that the Democratic
national committee, the Association of
Democratic clubs, and the Democratic
congressional committee, should work in
harmony. At the close of the confer
ence President Hearst issued the fol-
lowing:
''To the Democratic clubs and societies
of the United States: Recent events in
the history of the United States point TO
the approaching anniversary of the ma
ton as day which should be cele-
brated with special fervor this year.
There are those in the nation who seek
to create the impression that the Ameri-
can people have outgrown their love for
the just principles of government ex-
pressed in the Declaration of Indepeu-
dence, and are ready to surrender their
moral leadership among nations in order
to crafty a newly-born instinct for i'm
perial power, founded on a colonial sys-
tenn. All the Democratic clubs and So
cieties are earnestly requested to asso-
ciate on the Fourth of July, and all pa
triotic citizens, regardless of past party
affiliations, are urged to join with Them
in a pledge of fidelity to the republic
as the fathers made it. Let the people
of the United States unite in their own
cities, towns and villages, in a demon
stration of the confidence they feel in
the form of government under which
this nation has grown to it's present
greatness. The danger which threatens
the country is real and imminent. 1t seems
appropriate, therefore, that citizens who
believe that the Declaration of Indepen-
dence is not merely an academic door
ment, should meet together on this day
and give voice to the national sentiment
that all men are created free and equal
and that there must be no subject col
Onies under the American flag.

MONUMENT DEDICATED.
Blue and the Gray Shoulder to
Shoulder at Ceremonies.

bIuc ana the Gray shoulder to
Shoulder at Ceremonies.
HAGERSTOWN, Md, May 3O.-Another
link in the chain which binds together
the once warning factions of the North
and South was forged today by the dedi-
cation of a monument erected to the
memory of men who wore the gray as
We'll as those who wore the blue, and who
died in combat on the bloody field of
Antietam. The event, which is probably
without a parallel in the history of the
world, was greeted by the presence of
the president of the United States, ac-
cOmpanied by many members of his cab
inet score or more of United States
senator's twice as many members of con-
greSS, the governor of Maryland, and
prominent men from all parts of the
country. There were also present hun
dreds of veterans who fought for the
lost cause and thousands who fought
for the side that proved victorious. Side
by side, shoulder to shoulder they stood,
with uncovered heads, throughout the
ceremony which marked the conveyance
of the monument from the State of
Maryland to the national government
All animosities forgotten, they listened
to the simple stories of those who told
of the heroism of the dead and of the
desperate struggles of those who sur
Vived the battle and still live to tell the
many incidents of the day of carnage
and strife. A great crowd of others who
had come from the adjoining country
to witness the spectacle, and to greet
the chief executive of the nation aided
by their presence the impressiveness of
the ceremony and added to the signif-
ance of the occasion.
Mrs. Mckinley, accompanied by Mrs.
Hastings and Col. Webb Hayes, both
guests at the White house, attended the
ceremonies. She carried a wreath and a
box of flowers. The president said:
81 appear only for the moment that I
may make Acknowledgement for your
courteous greetings and express my sym
pathy and approval. l am glad to meet
on this memorable field the followers of
Lee and Jackson and LOngStreet with
the followers of Grant and Sherman and
Sheridan, greeting each other with affec-
ton and respect. One reflection only has
crowded my mind-the difference between
this scene and that of tniFty-eight years
ago. Then the blue greeted the gray
with shot and shell. We meet after all
of loyalty to the government and love
for our flag and determined to make any
sacrifice for the American Union. I am
glad we were kept together and the
fort in the fact that American soldiers
never surrendered to any one but Ameri-
can soldiers. / am glad to preside over
q nation of 600 of people more
united than they have ever been. The
achievements of that war are the her
1tage of those who failed and those who
prevailed. When we went to war two.
