Minneapolis Woman Is Successful In

Rockford, ILL.,, Dec. Is. After a

Rose Stiple reached Rockford late Sat

the True law In Wisconsin, and found
it impossible to be married in Milwau-

them, and they came to Rockford.
They had hardly reached here when
the pursuing mother and sister ar

well finally left the quarreling women
and disappeared. Mrs. Stiple then

engaged in a hand-to-hand combat in
the belfry of the Congregational

sophomores tried to get up the steeple
to remove the flag and a fierce battle
ensued in the belfry which lasted until
the arrival of the police.

MILE LAC INDIANS.

from Mile Lac lake, where he went to
ascertain how many Indians there
were entitled to a portion of the $751;
300, the amount agreed upon during a
recent council had with the Indians,
which they figured would cover the
value of improvements made by many
of them or their lands in that country,
and which would be a loss to them If
they were moved to White Earth.
This was n of the most serious OBJ
jections hat the Indians set forth
when they were ordered to move, and
1t was only necessary for the proper
authorities to agree to give them the
amount. The agent found that there
are CLIO Indians entitled to a portion
of the amount, and it will be DIS
tributed among them per capita.

red tape. He has begun to dispense
with the services of forestry superin-
tendents IN various parts OF the coun
try, and ultimately will have all these
offices abolished. Up to this time only
a few have been discharged, in places
where the forestry reserve is smallest.
Under the laws and regulations for the
administration OF the service, persons
living near the reserve and thos ehav-
ing mineral claims near them, r al.
lowed to use timber for domestic pur-
poses and the propping up of mines.
The new rule will provide that appli-
cations for timber shall come direct
from the supervisor to the general
land office, after the superintendent
are discharged. Commissioner Her
mann has also found that the supervis-
ors can perform about all the other
work now assigned to the superin-
tendents.

HE aARnirE GROUP.

Mr. E. O. Stratton is operating the Barnite group of copper mines in the Santa Catalina mountains. They are locatea about twenty-five miles from Tucson. The property adjoins that of the Santa Catalina Copper company. The owner of the Barnite group does not claim to have a mine or even . dividend payer as yet, but he declares that it is the most fattering prospect that he has ever been connected with The continuity of the formation and the richness of the surface ore make the claims well worth looking after.
 The formation is the regular con elomerate which distinguishes. the great copper belt around Lake Super for. A vein some sixty feet in width runs throughout the property. The croppings are unmtisakeable, and the abundance of lime, iron and porphyry make the indications unusually strong Sulphides of copper are found right on top, and as depth is gained the ore changes to . beautiful and rich gray copper, which runs as high as 70 per cent. About 300 feet of work has been done on the group and the shafts are all in high grade ore. MT. Stratton knows of no better place in the world to take, . chance on his money, and he intends to develop the group system atically. This property without doubt would furnish Tucson shelter a steady supply of ore.
