A Delightful Outing.

The excursion to lBuffalo to visit
the American exposition,
planned for the members of the
Lake Superior Press Association
by its executive committee has been
arranged with great care and will
give those who make the trip de-
lightful summer outing, combined
with visit to the great exposition.
The trip will be partly by water and
the run by rail from Detroit to
Buffalo and return will serve to
give it an agreeable variety, besides
making it possible TO hold the en-
tire outing within a week. with
three days at Buffalo in which the
sights of the exposition can be fair
ly well taken in.
1t is to be hoped that a goodly
delegation of the Lake Superior
newspaper men and their ladies will
participate in this outing. Those
who fail TO 90 will miss a most en-
joyable time. The expense per
capita will be comparatively light,
the estimate being that $50 will
cover the actual cost of the entire
trip and the three days stay at
Buffalo. la no other way can so
much that is enjoyable and in-
structive be obtained for so
moderate an expenditure.
The officials of the association have
made no little exertion to obtain
concessions for its members, says
the Mining Journal, and also to in
turn arrange pleasant itinerary,
and those for whom they have
worked so loyalty and efficiently
should manifest proper apprecia-
tion by making the necessary dis
positions to take the trip. 1t is be-
lieved that between forty and fifty
members of the association and
their ladies will participate ia the
excursion, and it is hoped that the
number will be in excess of the
maximum mentioned.
The party will leave st. Ignace
for Detroit by boat today.

Items of Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.
SHE WAS NOT KIDNAPPED
Canadian 500 Girls Body Found
In the Rivera
Suicide.

Mabel, the 14-year-old daughter
of James Vaughan, a prominent mer-
chant OF the Canadian 500, myster-
iously disappeared on the night of
April Both. Monday afternoon her
body was found in the river near
the International dock. It was
thought she had been kidnapped,
and Vaughan spent a large sum of
money in endeavoring to locate her.
He offered reward of $500 for her
body, dead or alive. The reward is
claimed by Isaac Denis, of Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich, who found the
body and brought it to the shore.
The coroner's jury rendered ver-
dict of suicide, although no cause
can be assigned for her act.
James Donahue, an Iron Mountain
woodsman, had an encounter with q
wolf. He was coming along q mar
row path in the woods near Pembne
when a large wolf sprang at him,
striking him on the chest and
knocking Tim over. He caught the
animal by the throat. A terrible
fight ensued between man and
beast. Donahue had no weapons.
The struggle lasted for 15 minutes
when the wolf began showing signs
of weakness. Donahue choked
harder, and soon the animals S head
fell to one side, and he was dead.
The wolf weighed 73 pounds. Dona-
hue has the distinction of being the
only man in this northern country
who ever chokcd wolf to death.
Upon examining the animal 1T was
found it had been wounded by a
rifle ball in its side, (which no doubt
accounts for it attacking the man,
it being crazed with pain. 1t is
very seldom these animals attack a
person, especially in the summer.
Donahue was terribly scratched and
bitten.

Rich Ore Deposit at Champion.

A dispatch from Champion to the
Detroit Tribune says.
The most important discovery of
ore on the Marquette range in years
has just been made here, near the
old Parsons mine, the place OF the
original discovery Of the Champion
mine. The ore is magnetic and of
phenominally high grade, running a
trifle over 20 per cent iron and
similar to the best ore produced by
the old mine. The vein outcrops
within six feet of the surface and
with an increasing width. Supt.
Walter Fitch said shaft would be
sunk Immediately and drifting
would be done east and west from
the shaft as soon as a sufficient
depth has been attained. Indica-
tions point to big deposit.
The Champion is the deepest iron
mine in the United States. No. )
shaft has reached the depth of 1900
feet. The deposits are looking as
well as at any time in the history of
the mine. The company intends to
explore all the lands comprising
10, 900 acres. The North mine Of
this company is showing up well.
The deposit was tested7 feet depth,
40 feet wide ana 800 long. The
first shipment will be made July 1st.

north side Of the new Mass mill, at
Keweenaw Bay, are being made.
The length of the new dock will be
1000 feet. and at the end it will be
in 18 feet Of water. The first 700
feet from the shore will be a stone
fill and the last 300 feet will be
made Of cribs filed with stone.
The cribs will be made at Baraga
and towed to the place where
they will be used. These cribs will
be 90 feet wide. Over the dock will
be trestle used for unloading coal.
At the front end of the dock there
will be pockets which will hold
about 100 tons each. These pockets
will have doors through which the
coal will pass into the cars which
will run underneath the trestle and
up to the boiler house. The cribbed
part of the dock will serve as o
breakwater and protection to the
intake pipes for the pumping sta
ton.

ment will be unique musical pro

ment in the Opera House, ir this
village, Thursday evening. The
company is composed of thirty five
people, and travel in two special

given in the afternoon, headed by
an automobile. The company has
very good band and orchestra.
j. w. Mckee, agent at the ID. S.
S. & A. depot in this village for
nearly a year, has rendered his
resignation, and expects to leave
in few days for the Pacific
coast. During his residence in
L'Anse Mr.. Mckee has made
numerous warm friends who will
regret his departure. The general
public will also regret to lose
him, as he has been courteous
and most obliging official.
There is time in almost every
young mans life when he imagines
he really is a warm member. When
he grows older and by experience,
accumulates store of good, com
mon horse sense, he views the same
class of boys with disgust. He
meditates on his past and wonders
# he was ever such confounded
fool. A smart Alec is about the
most despicable mortal that ever
drew breath, but the law forbids
killing them and people have to
grin and bear their presence in the
community.
