The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1901-08-30

Miss Margaret McGiffin of James
vile visited Edgerton friends few days
of the week.
"A. O. Wilson of GAINESVILLE, one OF
the county jury commissioners, was in
town Wednesday checking up list of
jurors to be reported by the commits
sioners.
E. M. Laid returned Wednesday
morning from Barron county, where he
had been for the past few days. While
there he sold four hundred acres of land,
160 to Jas. Thompson of Indian Ford,
and 24O to Grant and Willis Walrath.
Since the LIST of July Mr.. Laid has sold
over three thousand acres of Barron
county soil.
Everything is progressing finely in
the arrangements for the Evansville fair.
DR.. Jesse Donahue of Emporia, Kansas,
who owns the largest horned Texas steer
in the world, has engaged space and will
exhibit "Dobie." her pet steer, which was
one of the most interesting side shows
at the last fat stock show in Chicago.
The final billing for the fair has been
done and if the attractions are true to
the bills, which we are assured is the
case, there will be no lack of entertain
ment. The best day to attend will be
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Each
day is complete with full rounn of
amusement.
The common council of Stoughton
came down to Edgerton Tuesday even
ing to confer with our council in the
matter of granting franchise for an
electric railway through the two cities.
A meeting was held at City Clerk John
sons office and the matter quite thor
oughly discussed. Arrangements were
made for the appointment of a commit
tee from each council to meet some time
the coming week to formulate fran
chise to be submitted to the councils.
At Stoughton the business men and cit
liens in general are very pronounced in
favor of having a franchise granted, and
the general impression is that they
would prefer to have the line built along
the principal business street of the city.
It now looks as though there was little
doubt but whas an electric railway
would be in operation between James
vile and Madison by way of Stoughton
and Edgerton within the next two years.

Chinese Have Signed.

Pekin. Jan. 15.-The joint note of
the powers has finally been signed by
the Chinese peace commissioners.
Prince Ching signed yesterday, and Ii
Hung Chang, who is better, signed to-
day.
1t is understood that the malady
from which Ii Hung Chang is suffer
ing is Brights disease. He was feel
ing worse yesterday. and therefore
postponed affixing his signature but
Prince Ching was hopeful that he
would be able to sign today, which
proved to be the case.
Prince Ching has protested to the
court against the appointment, said to
be contemplated, of Viceroy Chang
Chih-Tung as a plenipotentiary in the
place of Ii Hung Chang. He thinks the
latter's advice absolutely essential al
though he believes it might be advis-
able to appoint a third plenipotentiary
! for China, and reiterated his desire for
the appointment of Sheng, who would
be acceptable to the foreigners
SO far as Chang-Chih-Tung is con-
cerned. the ENJOYS who know him per-
anti-foreign and has never made any
secret of his likes and dislikes, they
believe he would be satisfactory rep
resentative of the Chinese. and there
would not be any objections to him on
the score of his recent utterances. In
deed, some of the ministers think il
would he wise for China to make
Chang Chih-Tung plenipotentiary.
Most of the ENJOYS have received
word from their governments that the
negotiations must be conducted in Pc
kin, on the ground that for various
reasons other places suggested would
be Objectionable.
The Russians say they will formally
turn over the railroad to the Germans
Immediately.
M. De Giers, the Russian minister
) objects to the British attitude in re
fusing to permit the Russians to dis
tribute rice and wheat to destitute Chi
> nese in the British section.

MINING NOTES.

Word has been received from the
Rainbow, on Lake Pend d'Oreille, Ida,
that the lower adit has entered anoth-
er payshoot in which considerable ma
tive silver is present.
A. G. HanaueT has let contract for
the first oil we'll in the Rosalia district.
The we'll will be sunk on the farm on
w. f. Riseland, north of town. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Parker, the con-
tractor, will be here within 10 days to
start operations
Bids will be opened January 26 at
the First State Bank of Palouse for
sinking the shaft on the Blue Bird
mine, Hoodoo District, to the 200-foot
level. This is the property of the
Chickasaw Mining & Smelling Com
pany, and besides sinking the shaft to
drifting is to be done. The company
has a new hoist in place at their mine.

New oil discoveries in the northwes
are being continually made in a wild

ed of proposed oil prospecting a
Grand Forks, b. c., and a dispatch
last night gave the news of discoveries
near Baker City, Ore. The existenc'
of oil fields in the Crows Nest coal re
gions of East Kootenai is we'll known
though the fields have never been de
veloped. 1t begins to look as if, ever
only a part of the oil prospect
of the northwest prove of commercial
value, there will be much activity thi
year and big profits in the new indus
try.
The surveyors have almost complet

Deadwood camp, sinking is in progress
Four feet of high grade chalcopyrite
is being sunk on by the Blue Bell shaft
now down 80 feet.
1t seems probable that Cascade, the
gateway city of the Boundary, will
soon have a smelter.
At the properties of the Dominion
Copper company in Phoenix camp the
force has been increased to Go men.
On account of the death of B. A. Bile
enberg, superintendent, work has been
temporarily suspended on the Buck
horn in Deadwood camp.
Sinking has started from the tunnel

The property is owned by Jack Henley
and the Miner-Graves people.
Future shipments from the Hum

HoIdups in Butte.

Butte, Mont. Jan. 1.-Two more
highway robberies occurred in this city
Sunday. One that happened may re-
suit in murder.
George Mohard, collector for the
Trades and Labor Assembly, left his
home in South Butte with $500 to turn
over to the treasurer. When a short
distance from his home he was accost-
ed by two masked men, who ordered
him to throw up his hands. Instead of
complying Mohard struck one of the
robbers in the face with his knuckles
and the other robber fired a shot which
pierced Mohard's left lung. AS he fell
to the ground the men relieved him of
his money. The injured man was able
to get up and walk to a saloon across
the street, when the police were mott
fed, but they have not caught the men
Mohard was in an unconscious condi
ton at late hour.
Early Sunday morning two masked
men entered a saloon in Centerville
ordered the bartender to throw up hi;
hands, but he ran out the back way fol
help. Several shots were exchanged
but nobody was hit and the thieves
tapped the till for $31.

NIT camp is down past the 400 foot
level, which it reached the end of the
year The force numbers 105 men.
A smelter test of an experimental
shipment of ore from the Blue Bell, In
Summit camp, at the CRANKY smelter,
netted $26 per ton. The Blue Bell was
recently bonded by the Lake Shore
Copper Mining & Development com
pany. John Dorsey, the managing di-
rector, left here today for Chicago to
confer with his fellow directors.
Word has recently been received at
Rossland that it is shortly the inten-
ton of Messrs. Tarbott and Durant the
owners of the Idaho, to commence min
ing operations on a very extensive
scale. The Idaho adjoins the Centre
Star on the east and is locally regarded
as the best piece of undeveloped min
eral ground in the camp.
The new mechanical equipment of
the lie Roi company is practically com
plete. The assembly of the new hoist
was finished last week, and the
! giant engine is in the hands of the
painters, who are vanishing and strip
ing the black iron. The hoist will be-
given it's initial turn over some day
this week. 1t is not the intention
however, to place the engine in con
slant operation in hosting ore unit
the alterations and additions to tn,
Northport smelter have been complet
ed. Again, it is quiet probable tina
many tedious small jobs in the mine
such as changing the grade Of tn
tracks on various levels, will occup,
some little time before everything viii
be in smooth operation.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. l4.-All the gam
bling houses in the city have reopened
and are running full blast. 1T is given out
that the trouble among the gamblers which
caused the wholesale arrests and the clos
ing of the houses recently has been patch
ed up and that no further friction may
be expected. If this is true the possibil-
ity of Seattle becoming a closed town is
AGAIN remote.

A GIimpse of Tennyson.

Apprehension Of being mobbed by the
'profane vulgar" amounted, as Is well
known, almost TO monomania with the
poet Tennyson. Many good stories are
told in illustration Of this weakness of
his. One of the best of them will per-
haps bear repetition.
Lord Tennyson was taking country
walk with a friend, when a fellow
creature was espied in the distance,
I'VE must turn back" said the poet.
"That fellow means to waylay US.
His companion persuaded bin, how
ever, to continue on their path. They
caught up to the enemy and passed
him. He took no notice of them what
ever. "What an extraordinary thing!'
cried the irate poet. "The fellow seems
TO have no Idea who am"
