foot Indian reservation. east of the
Rocky mountains in Montana. and a few
miles south of the international bound
airy. The lands were located by H. c.
Howell of Kalispel several months ago.
The company's properties are only a few
miles distant from the oil fields of a
Canadian corporation which is already
pumping oil from it's lands The oil
has been tested and is said to give the
best of satisfaction.

Will Take a Mint of Money.

While it is evident that Bratnober has
secured a property of much prospective
value. it will take mint of money to
render it available. Hagin's prospect is
much better, because he has the assur-
ance of early railway connection with the
coast, and can therefore get his metal
into the market soon after his working
plans are concluded by the installation of
experienced American miners and the
finest American machinery. for the
Meiggs railway is only so miles distant.
But, after all. we cannot discover that
any proposition for largely increasing the
output Of copper will excite enthusiasm
so long as the present congestion Of the
market continues. The situation does not
look good to the keen observer of events.
There is only one nation on the globe to-
day that is enjoying even moderate de-
gree of prosperity. and this is evidently
on the wane. This enormous export
traffic that brought the prosperity Of
the past few years has been so curtailed
by monetary depression abroad that we

Mines and Mining.

This examinatio disclosed its value
when he at once negotiated for ana Sc
cured the title to the property or a con-
tract for title. AS matter OF lact'
the discoveries had little idea OF the
value of the mine. AS soon as the WORK
of prospecting was done and Bratnoper
had worked out his plans for the oper-
alton of the mine installation OF ma
chinery communication with the coast
and had also perfected his, scientlnc
statement of the character OF the copper
and the extent of deposits he turned
his face toward London via New YORK.
There is a feeling. however. that in view
of the existing disturbances in the cop
per trade and the very large decrease
of demand in foreign lands the Roths-
childs may not enthuse over Mr.. Brat
nober's great discovery to the extent he
desires. Owning the great copper mines
in Spain, they have reduced the output
to the minimum which indicates their
opinion of the immediate future of that
metal.
Over a year ago reports came from
Alaska through the representatives OF
wandering prospectors that enormous
bodies of copper ore existed in that re-
gion. In the course of their prospecting
tours they had come across them. but
their search being for gold, the cheaper
metal had no attractions for them be-
yond the simple fact Of their existence
1t was stated that nothing could be done
with these deposits because of their dis
lance from the coast and the difficulties
in the way of marketing the products. 1t
may be that the party of young explorers
whom Bratnoher met and out of which
association came the title to the ground
in question. were led to the point of at
tack by stories obtained from the earlier
gold hunters,

The Well Known kenOSha Young Man
Meets Death in an Accident at
New Tannery Building.
HIS BACK is BROKEN BY A BLOW.
Heavy Timbers Pail and Strike the Young
Man on the Back Killing Him Instant
ly.-Death Causes Great Sorrow.

John Gales, one of the best known
young men in the city, met instant
death this morning while working on
the new building being erected by the
N. r. Aliens Sons.
GALES, with party of men had been
at work on the fourth floor of the
building, their duties being to raise a
lot of heavy timbers from the fourth
to the fifth floor. Shortly after 9
O'Clock GALES, who was in charge of
the work, gathered together large
bunch of heavy timbers and chained
them to the hook of block and tackle.
He then stepped to one side and began
to turn the crank. The. tin1bers had
been raised to height of about eight
feet when the knot slipped and the
tim bers fell back to the fourth floor.
When the timbers fell they struck
Gales on the back knocking him to
the floor and breaking his back. The
men fastened to remove the timbers
and pulled the in jured man from under
them, but life was already extinct, as
the fall of the timbers had caused in
slant death.
GALES was we'll known among the
carpenters and builders of the city,
and when it was announced that he
had met with fatal accident many
people hurried to the tannery to assist
in removing the remains. AS soon as
possible the Coroner was notified, and
jury was summoned to investigate
the death.
John Gales had been a resident of
Kenosha nearly all his life. He
was thirty-two years of age, and is
survived by wife and three children.
For some years the deceased was
contractor in this city, being in part
nership with Charles Lindermann. He
has been at work on the Allen building
for several weeks.
The announcement of his sad death
came as a great shock to his wife and
children, and the wife is Frustrated.
Besides the surviving wife and child
rem, the death of John Gales is
mourned by Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas
Gales, his father and mother; and by
his sisters, Mrs. Gustav Jacob, Misses
Lizzie and Kate Gales; and brothers,
William, Peter and Carl GALES.
The deceased was a member OF the
local chapter of the Catholic Order of
Foresters, and was most enthusiastic
in the work of the society. He was a
young man universally beloved among
his friends, and his death has cast a
pail over the North part of the city.

STUCK TO HIS TRAIN
Charley Lane, of This City, is Badly
Injured in a Railway Wreck
Near Charlotte, Mich.
ACT SAVED MANY PASSENGERS
With Almost Certain Death in Front OF
Him Engineer Lane Remained at
the Throttle of His Engine.

Charles Lane, of this city, a son of
Mrs. J. B. Lane, was terribly injured
in a railway wreck atChar1otte, Mich,
last Saturday, and while only neagre
details of the accident have been re-
ceived in Kenosha, it is stated that the
in jury will not prove fatal. The in
Jury of Lane was due to his herolsm IN
sticking to his engine after he saw
that it was impossible for him to pre-
vent an accident.
The accident occurred late Saturday
and the Kenosha man was the engineer
on passenger train carrying several
hundred passengers. Near Charlotte,
while the train had been running at
good rate of speed, the engineer and
fireman discovered that a switch had
been left open, but the discovery was
made too late to save the train from
certain wreck. The engineer saw his
duty, and although certain injury and
almost certain death was staring him
in the face he reversed the engine and
with his hand on the throttle the en-
CINE dashed into the open switch. The
great loss of life was averted on &C
count of the fact that the engineer had
reversed his power sufficiently to make
the wreck slight one. The two en-
gines were te1escoped and piled in a
heap on the side of the tracks.
The passengers were thrown from
their seats, but not one of them was
INJURED. AS soon as possible the
trainmen hurried to the debris to dis
cover the fate of the engineer and
Lane was found near the track badly
injured. He was tenderly taken up
and conveyed to hospital, where an
examination showed that he had suf-
fered fracture of his arm and one of
his legs. Later he was removed to his
home in Battle Creek, Mich.
The. passengers on the train were
high in their praise OF the heroism of
the Kenosha boy and it was largely
through his bravery in remaining at
the throttle that great railway hor-
ror was prevented.

A PRETTY WEDDING.
Former Kenosha Pastor is Married to
Miss Esther Crook of Racine.

Ono of the prettiest church weddings
that has occurred in Racine for long
time was that at the Bethany Metho-
dist church on Fourteenth and Racine
streets, when Miss Esther Marie
Crook, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. N. c.
Crook, prominent residents of Racine,
and Rev. Charles Johnson, of River
side, ILL.,, formerly pastor of the Nor
wegian M. E. church in Kenosha, were
made husband and wife Monday even
ing.
The auditorium of the church was
Ella borately decorated. Above the al
tar was great canopy of foliage and
the organ was completely banked in
golden rod,
When the bridal party reached the
church it was filled with guests who
had responded to invitations, and only
such were admitted The processiona al
march was played by Miss Ida Belle
bridal company passed slowly down
the south aisle led by Florence, Mary
and Title Hansen and Nora Johnson
as ribbon girls. Miss Ruth Hansen,
of Wyoming, Mimi, was the pretty
flower girl who preceded the brides
maid and maid of honor, the Misses
Jennie Crook, of Oak Park, ILL.,, and
Jennie Johnson, sister of the groom.
Then came the bride by her fathers
side. Down the north aisle Master
Ellsworth MINER, the ring bearer,
preceded the groom, who was accom-
panied by Fred c. Johnson, of Engle-
wood, ILL.,, as best man. J. O. Berken
was the usher.
At the altar the party was met by
Rev. L. A. Larson, presiding elder,
and beneath the canopy of green the
promises were given that united the
lives of Esther Marie Crook and
Charles Johnson until death doth part
them. Rev. Larson was assisted in
the ceremony by Rev. A. A. Wierson,
of Chicago, and Rev. N. A. Nyrup, of
Racine.
The bride was gowned in white
Swiss null over white silk and carried
bridal roses.
They were the recipients of many
handsome and valuable presents. The
couple will be at home to their friends
at 1910 Villa street in Racine for a
fortnight, after which they will leave
for trip in the South and thence to
their home in Riverside.
During the evening kilograms of
congra tulation were received from
friends in Dakota, Nebraska and other
States. A special car from Kenosha
brought about fifty guests and many
relatives and friends from Riverside,
Chicago, Oak Park and Logan Square
were present.

THE DANISH PICNIC.
Three Thousand People Gather at Central
Park and Make Merry.

Three thousand people from Racine
and Kenosha gathered at Central park
Sunday afternoon to attend the picnic
given in honor of the tenth anniver-
sary of the Kenosha lodge of the Dan
ish Brotherhood and it is doubtful if
such picnic was ever held in Keno
sha before. The grounds were simply
packed with people and every one
seemed to be having a great time. All
sorts of amusements were provided for
the visitors and generous supplies of
refreshments were to be found in all
parts of the ground. ~
One. of the features of the day was
the base ball game between the Balm
team of this city and the Semers base
ball team. The game proved to be a
heartbreaker and the Somers team won
out by 2 score of six to FIVE.
The Danes in Kenosha attended the
picnic almost in a body and during the
day many of the we'll known members
of the Brotherhood made short ad-
dresses.

A LITTLE VAGRANT.
Michael K1osky is Taken in Charge by the
Police on Saturday Evening.
cover.

Michael Klosky, boy nine years of
age who had been missing from his
home on the North side for the past
two weeks was found last Saturday
night by Officer zeivers. The boy
was wandering about the North side
and when the officer found him he told
that he had been driven from home by
his parents and that he had been
sleeping in the open air for the last
two weeks.
The officer took him to the jail and
the sheriff and chief of police later
took the boy to his home. The pa
rents denied the story of the boy but
stated that he had ran away from
home and that they had not been able
to find him. When the boy was
brought back the welcome did not
seem hearty enough to suit him and
while the officers were yet in the house
the boy slipped out back door and
ran away again.

Milwaukee City Council Makes the
Construction OF the Lake Geneva
Road a Possibility.
ROAD TO BE BUILT IN A YEAR
It Will Cut the Corner of Kenosha County
and other Roads will Probably be Built
to Other Parts of the County.

Whatever may be the outcome of the
many street railway fights in this sec
ton OF the county, it is certain that
the road from Milwaukee to Lake
Geneva will be built, for the CITY
Council of Milwaukee, Tuesday, by
vote of thirty-six to ten engrossed the
franchise of the new company and adj
vanced it to it's third reading. The
measure will be passed at the next
meeting of the Council.
James La OConnor and Peter Som
ers, both we'll known in this city, are
behind the new line and they stated
Tuesday evening that the work on it
would start within a few DAYS. The
company will elevate all their roads in
Milwaukee and will make little con-
test for Milwaukee business. The
line is supposed to be a passenger line
to connect Milwaukee with the rich
farming districts of Racine, Kenosha
and Walworth counties and inciden-
tally to-open passenger line between
Milwaukee and Lake Geneva. Mr..
Somersr claims that the funds for the
building of the road have already been
secured, as has the right of way
through the country districts. 1t is
supposed that the road will be extend
ed westward from Lake Geneva, but
at present this plan is simply talked of
and 1t is possible that the lake resort
will be the Western terminus of the
line.
The line will be of little benefit to
this county,. asst will touch only the
extreme northwest corner of the
County. The town of Darlington in
Racine county will be one of the lead
ing terminals Of the road.
With the assurance of the construc-
ton of this~1ine it is possible that the
old project to'build line through the
Western part of Kenosha county to
connect with the 3. j. g. E. at Wauke-
gan will be revived. The route for
such line has been surveyed several
times and short Time ago certain rep
resentatives- of the railway company
visited the farmers and sought to Sc
cure the right of way for the proposed
line.
There is little reason to believe that
any work will be done in this county
before the middle Of next year. Ac-
cording to the terms of the franchise
ordinance the Milwaukee and Lake
Geneva road is to be in operation by
the middle of September of next year.

A KENOSHA RELIC.
Andrew Benedict, of Waukegan, Has Rare
Musical instrument.

Andrew Benedict, of Waukegan, has
a queer musical instrument which was
recently found in an attic in this city
and which was formerly the property
of Samuel Scott, one of the pioneer
settlers of Kenosha.
The interior of the box is highly pol
ished cherry color and on top is a small
scroll. The sounding board is thin
and on it are six strings, the board it.
self being of a very peculiar shape,
resembling neither a either, harp nor
autoharp.
How old the instrument is cannot be
determined, but Mr.. Benedict has tried
hard to find somebody who could de-
termine in what age it was used, or
how it can be played.
He is of the belief that the peculiar
Emusic box" was an heirloom that
had come down to his grandfather
from several generations and that 1t
was care1ess1v laid aside in the attic at
his home in Kenosha.
His grandparents are both dead and
nobody can be found who is familiar
with the instrument.
Because of its singular construction,
so out of the ordinary, Mr.. Benedict
values it highly and has received offers
from gatherers of curios, but is of the
belief shat time will show it is of more
than nominal worth.

George Burgess, of Somers, Keno

that the skull is fractured, and if such
is the case it is slight. Mr.. Burgess
