A NEW LAKE ERIE HARBoR.
Land 20 BE Purchased a. Sites for
IRON and steel Industries.

ASHTABULA, Ohio. April 1.-THE own
ers of sixty-six acres of land, situated in
a marsh near the banks Of Lake Erie at
Mentor, thirty miles west of this city,
have Just been informed that the prop
erty VIII be purchased as soon as the op-
tons expire
This land is at the terminal of pro-
posed lire Of railroad between the lake
and furnace districts. Because of the
neutral advantages OF the location the
plan evidently is to build a great lake
harbor and make 1t a coal shipping and
ore receiving port. y part of the land is
suitable for the erection Of new steel
plants, which it is said are bound TO come
to the lake When the options were Sc
cured several months ago it was then

location of big Industries The purchase
Of the land by paroles interested in iron

REDUCE ROYALTY ON GOLD.

That Ten Per Cent Is Excessive
The Canadian Government has decided
to reduce the royalty on gold mined in the
Yukon from 10 to ; 9er cent IN a com
municatjon TO the State Department re
porting the fact John l. BitJinger. the
United States Consul General at Montre-
al. says:
The 10 per cent royalty was imposed
during the first outbuFst OF excitement
over the discoveries of gold in the KIon-
dixie region. before the conditions attend
ing the work Of prospecting. mining. and
converting the ore were fully realized.
The general impression was that the gold
vas In pockets as easily opened as
silo on . farm.
The more the Iabors and privations
and risks Of the miners became known.
however the more clearly was it seen
that a 10 per cent royalty was so ouerous
an imDost on gold secured under such
conditions that it tended to discourage
mining operations. Considering the great
expense incident TO the opening UP on
the Yukon-of its government and admin
istration-the reduced royalty must be re-
garded as an equitable tax The Govern
ment Is commended for the reduction, as
well as for its efforts to establish law and
( order and facilitate transportation in the
kiondike region
The rush to the Yukon and Alaska
gold fields for the season has already be
gun and will be large.
The news from Dawson is highly sat
isfactOry- Increased and more systemat-
ic work is being done The discovery Of
the new placer diggings on Clear Creek
about five months ago is said 10 be the
most important since the original discov-
cry of the KIondiI1e. Clear Creek Is a
branch Of the Stewart River which runs
into the Yukon. Looking in q noTtheas-
terIy direction from the summit of the
dome at the head of bunker Greek. the
position of the new UlacerS can be easily
discerued- Although over loo claims
have already been recorded in the new
district and some gold has been taken
out il Is impossible 10 accurately gauge
the value Of this discovery, but sufficient
prospecting has been done TO show an
extensive area Of gold-bearing gravel,
which Is likely to add considerably TO the
output from the kIOndike district
"A new regulation Of the Government
for placer mining in the Yukon territory

power to draw trade to Nampa by rum
ming his road into the rich sections of
the state which have heretofore contrib

The Boise people are already uneasy,
and they have good reasons to be-, for
the Dewey road is cutting into the west
towards Thunder mountain and pene-
trating some of the best mining and ag-
ricultural parts of the state.
Colonel Dewey has built a magnifi-
cent hotel building at Nampa-up-to-
date in every respect-much better than
anything in Boise. He has put in one
of the finest sample rooms in the west
for the accommodation of commercial
travellers.
IAN arrangement of some sort has
been made with the latter whereby they
will show their goods at Nampa and
compel the Boise merchants to go to

"Colonl Dewey is shrewd business
man. and by his operations in the past
few years has won the confidence of a
strong coterie of capitalists in the east,
who will back him up in almost anything
he undertakes.

AFTER FORTY YEARS
Relative of Alderman Luxton's Turns
Up After Long Absence.

Anaconda, Oct. 22.-Alderman r. V.
LuXton received some good news from his
former home in London, Ontario, Cam
ada, few days ago.
Mrs. LuXton has been visiting there
for several weeks, and since her arrival
among relatives and old acquaintance
a letter came from Biderford, North
Devonshire, England. from Jarbes Rich
ards, a broher of Mr.. Luxtons grand
mother, who had long s:nce been given
up as dead.
The letter was addressed to a Mrs.
Hurd, who resides in Ontario, and in it
the writer made earnest inquiries about
his relatives, particularly his sister, Mrs.
Sarah Henry, Mr.. Luxtons grand parent,
who is also still living in London, On
tario, at the ripe old age of 100 years.
Mrs. Henry saw her brother about 40
years ago. He was then a captain on
an English man of-war, and only had
about three months more to serve his
country until he was to be placed upon
the retired list.
From that day to the time of the receipt
of the letter nothing was heard from
Captain Richards by members Of the
Luxton family.
A diigent search was made for him,
but his whereabouts was never ascer-
tanned until the surprise he gave them in
his letter of inquiry.
Mrs Luxton visited Grandmother
Henry few days ago. The old lady
was enjoying good health, but in the
weight of years her memory has so far
declined that she can no longer remem-
Der her own relatives, not even her own
daughter, Mr.. Luxton's mother who re-
sides in Butte at the present time.
The aged lady has the pleasantest sur
roundings and everything is being done
for her comfort and she appears to be
spending the evening Of her life in peace
full happiness.

If the Butte sports think that Flynn
has been "doctored' it Will take but
short time to convince chem OF their

plenty Of takers for it in Anaconda.
1t is rather discoura ging to true lovers
Of sport to have Few knockers try 20
belittle events which are certainty rare
enough in this section. of the country.
No doubt there mas in the past beer
fights in Montana which were fixed"
but Anacondans are proud to say that
there has never bean one of them pulled
off in Anaconda, nor has any Ana
conda mans name ever been mentioned
in connection with .heM. There can be
but one solution Of the problem, that is
that some "soreheaI' thinks he has been
left on the outside, and is trying to set
even for an imaginary wrong.
Some of the most prominent am re-
spected citizens OF Anaconda are inter.
ested in bringing off the coming mil be-
tween Flynn and Wade, and 1t is ce--
tainly wronging them and injuring the
sport in this STATE, in trying to knock
