NEEDN'T WORRY A BIT
TWIN CITIES SEEM CONCERNED
OVER CENSUS RESULT.
Fear That Duluth May Not Come Up
to Required Scratch. -

The twin city papers are trying to
stir up anxiety in the minds of Duluth
people by referring to the fact that in
case the late census shows the popula-
ton of Duluth to be under $4,000, a
large part of the laws enacted for
Duluth's benefit by the state legislature
will be Of no use to this city because
almost all of them apply to ''cities of
$4,000 and over" Regarding. these
statements a man who is close to the
situation said last night ~ +
What is the use Of the twin city
papers harping on this string? They
seem to be particularly solicitous for
Duluth when their own cities are as
much or more in danger of getting be-
low the mark set in enactmentss for
their benefit in the legislature, than we
are. In fact, Duluth is in no danger
whatever. 1t has been intimated in
an indirect way, but directly enough to
arrive at a safe conclusion, by one Of
the census officials that the Duluth
population will be between $4,000 and
$4,000. That takes us out Of the woods
in good shape all, right. Minneapolis
and St. Paul do not. need to worry
about Duluth very much" ="

of apiritualistic advice Is found IA the
Geyser mine at Silver Cliff & Col. q This.
is the deepest mine in Colorado, being
t2,250 feet below the surface. The mine
takes its name from its peculiar geo.
logical formal ion, It is being sunk in
the center Of what was evidently once
a volcano crater. When the work was
started years ago the miners found
round, hard stones almost like the
"hard heads" which are used for paw
ing city streets, When these were
cracked open a small kernel of gold ore
was found in he center. This kernel
did not run high in value, being in
initesimal, but it encouraged the pros
pectors to keep on. It was figured that
these rocks were formed when the last
eruption took place in the volcano GRAFT
err. It was estimated. hat as the shaft
was sunk deeper larger rocks and com
paratively larger gold kernels would be
found. On this theory the work was
carried on until a depth of several hun
bred feet was reached. Then capital
gave out, and the mine would probably
have been abandoned had not a clair
voyant claimed to have received infor-
nation that if the work was pushed so
much, deeper fabulous values would be
struck. - -. -. -...s4 g.
Armed with this information, the
promoters went east, Boston capitalists
were interested and it is claimed that
they were also given first hand the
spiritualistic information about the re-
ward awaiting those who persevered in
the work. With plenty of capital back
of the mine, an immense hoist was
built, the elevator being unique in that
it contains a passenger section for the
use Of the stockholders or officials who
may wish to visit the mine. The work
was pushed vigorously, though there
was no ore in sight, and the determined
promoters sunk LOO feet without strtk-
ing sign of encouragement. At last,
however, ore bodies were opened up and
now it is reported that the mine is on
the road to prosperity, though no state
ment has been given out as to whether
the prophecies of the spiritualistic ad-
wiser have been fully realized Chicago

PARTITION OF CHINA.
May Take Place But i'm an Unex-
pectell Manner.


WASHINGTON, July Administer
WI, the Chinese minister here, is in
constant correspondence by cable with
the viceroys of the great southern pro-
vinces of China. The substance of
some of these communications he has
made known to the state department,
others have been withheld. It is not
known positively whether or not the
minister has the means of communicate
ing with Pekin; if so, the channel must
be tortuous, involving the use of one
of the Viceroys as an intermediary.
There also is correspondence in pro-
gress between the various Chinese
ministers in Europe and the minister
in Washington. These facts, taken in
connection with the "
Apparently Genuine Concern
expressed by the Chinese ministers for
the safety Of the foreign ministers at
Pekin and their strenuous urging OF
III Hung 9Ghang's request that neutral
itys be observed by the powers toward
the southern. Chinese provinces, IS re-

pointing to the development Of a com

The Impression is Growing
here that no matter what happens at
Pekin, the division of Chiria is already
an accomplished fact, though not upon
the lines contemplated heretofore by
Europeans. It is felt that all parts OF

haps, and certainly all that part south

common expectation it is now main

nothing but time checks but the COM
pany would not accept such as the
boat is operated by the lumber COM
pany. After walking a. few miles they
met man who owned couple of
canoes and he agreed to ferry them
across for sum. Including the owner
of the canoes there were six men,
three in each boat and they started
across the lake. One of the canoes
leaked badly and twice was padded
to the shore. A third start was made
and when nearly in the middle of the

opened and it soon filled with water.
Efforts to bail her were fruitless and
the, craft split down the center and
Meyers and the other two men were
thrown in the water. The owner of
the boat was the only one who could
swim and he rescued one Of his pas
