gene eral land office, each of whom
has been in charge of crew of men
since September, investigating elev-
en- townships of st. Louis county
lands claimed by the state as swamp

finding that 271 forties claimed by
the state as swamp lands do not
come within the terms under which
the state can properly lay claim to
them. Governor Van SAINT has been
notified, and will be given an op-
portunity to defend the states
claim in hearing ordered by the
St. Cloud land Office for Jan. 2s. Be-
fore the work in st. Louis county is
completed, it is estimated that be-

returned to the federal government.
1t is said that the land bears evil
dence of having valuable mineral
deposits, but that it is almost value
less for agricultural purposes.

The presence in Cleveland of a

came the occasion of an informal
conference on the iron ore situation
and the probabilities for 1902, but
no formal meeting of the ore mems

some time in the first half of Janu-

would be within bounds to say that
these stoppages have amounted
thus far to a decrease of 100000 to
100000 tons in consumption of Lake

dication that they will be a feature
of furnace operation for weeks to
come.
While the sale of old-range Bess-

The Past Year.
BEST RECORD SINCE 1872.

6ESl KENONO S4INNE Io0A o."
State Auditor Dunn's books show
some: interesting figures as regards
iron ore prospecting on: state lands
in Minnesota. The year ending
July 81 witnessed the largest record
of mineral leases and contracts
since 1892. The books show total
of 283 prospectors' leases and 48
contracts for development of mines
on lands of the commonwealth.
The total cash returns were $13,529.
In 1892, the year following the. ex.
tensive discoveries of iron ore ON
the Mesaba range, 1,O51 leases were
take. out, but only about one third
of them resulted in development
contracts. In the next five years
only seven contracts were consum-
mated. With the return of good
times the states mineral lands
were again in demand, and, in 1890
forty-seven contracts we're issued.
The whole number of mining de
velOpment contracts made is 412, Of
which $50 are still in force and these
are expected to return to the state
at least 100000 in royalties.5

in that way prevent strikes and

such a change will be brought

BY the recent announcement of
General Manager Wolvin, of the
Pittsburg Steamship company, the
lake marine branch of the steel cor
poration, the Captains and chief en-
gineers of the steamers soon will
receive an extra sum of money
equal to 10 per cent of their regular
salaries. The money will be paid
"as dividend, based on the merit
of the men," The first payment
will affect about 800 men, but the
system is expected to be extended
to fully 1000 more employees of the
steamship company within a few
months.
Those familiar with the workings
of the internal affairs of the steel
corporation declare General Mana

extended until it included all en-

in the Goulais bay district, about
80 miles up the Canadian shore
from the 500, is reported by Prof
Wilmot, the Canadian expert. He
says it is of good quality and in

at present disputed property, but
coming as it does, almost to the
borders of the Soos, which cities
will soon be great steel producers,
the find is indeed a valuable one.

THE MIX CASE WILL
GO TO The JURY
Judge Knowles Overruled the Motion

Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter MOuntain.)
Helena, Dec. 11.-Judge Hiram Knowles
overruled the motion of William Wallace,
attorney for the Northern Pacific rail-
way, for conclusive Instructions to the
jury in favor of his clients in the damage
suit brought by Wallace Mix against the
company to recover $4,000 for personal
injuries.
Mr.. Wallace contended in support of
his motion that the accident in which Mr..
Mix was injured was caused by the neg
ligence of the operator alone The oper-
ator at Bonita failed to record with the
dispatcher the passing of the train which
caused the wreck. He commended that
the operator was a fellow servant of a
train man, and as there is no fellow SER
want law in this state the common law
would apply and the company was not
liable for the negligence of fellow SER
want.
r. j. Walsh, representing the plaintiff,
declared that the wreck was partially the
fault of the train dispatcher, who was
a representative of the company, which
was liable for his acts. Judge Knowles
overruled the motion.
T. J. Walsh commenced his argument
for the plaintiff late yesterday afternoon.
and Mr.. Wallace submitted his views Of
the case to the jury today. The case
went to the jury late this afternoon.

of the road and Michel told a funny

Curley half pint. Robillard pint and
Michel quart. They emptied the half
pint and Michel drew the quart bottle
from his pocket, but Robillard told him
to put it up, as it looked too wicked.
Then he produced his pint flask, from
which all took a drink.
Bantered by Michel to ride the bucking
mare, Robillard mounted her and rode
for about mile, when the animal threw
him. The others coming up they stopped
and dismounted, and all had another
round Of drinks. They mounted again,
Robillard and Curley riding on ahead.
Michers mare baked and refused to
move. After Robillard and Curley had
gone on about quarter of a mile and
Michel not having caught up with them,
they returned to the last resting place,
