Bla LAND PURCHASE.
Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company
Has Acquired 1 900. 900
Acres.

The Cleveland Cliffs Iron com.
pany has acquired the remaining
holdings of the Detroit, Mackinac g.
Marquette land grant in northern
Michigan, embracing 1000, 900 acres.
Announcement of the deal, which
now gives the iron company an
acreage of 1900, 900, was made last
week. The territory just purchased
stretches from Marquette easterly
to almost as far as the 500. 1t is
we'll timbered, principally with hard
wood and pulpwood, and aside from
assuring timber supply for the
Cleveland Cliffs furnaces and paper
mills for generations to come, will
be colonized. 1t is. believed now to
be the intention of the company to
extend its railroad system to a point
close to the 500 in development of
the newly acquired tract. The con-
sideration in the deal recently closed
is not announced, but it is the
largest transfer of the kind in the
peninsula's history.

THE DEER LAW.
Regulations Placed on Hunting
This Denizen of the
Forests.

The fall hunting season will soon
be upon US, when great numbers OF
hunters from lower Michigan,
Indiana and Illinois, and an army
OF local nimrods as well, willlmake
the woods fairly alive. Baraga
county is a favorite stamping
ground for outside hunters.
The open season for deer is from
November 9Th to Both, inclusive, in
the upper peninsula. No person
can kill more than three deer in any
one year. No person can hunt deer,
of course, without first procuring
hunters license. Resident license,
IS cents; nonresident license, S25.
Use of dogs in hunting, pursuing or
killing deer, and the hunting of any
fawn in spotted coat, or any deer in
the red coat, is prohibited. The
use of artificial light in hunting,
pursuing or killing deer is uniaw-
full. No deer or portion of deer
can be lawfully shipped without a
license tag accompanying the same.
In lumber camps venison is
frequently eaten out of season, al
though it is not as rule called
venison. The number of deer killed
in this manner for the purpose
OF food evidently does not cut much
figure, according to recent report
of the state game warden.
The general law relating to game
states that no person shall injure,
kill or destroy ruffed grouse, COM
monty called partridge, in the upper
peninsula, only from October lst to
November Both.

PROBATE LAW.
Judges Of the State Recommend
Important Changes at q
Recent Meeting.

The probate judges of the state
will ask the next legislature to
amend several laws OF public i'm
portance, having adopted resolu-
tions to that effect at their recent
annual meeting at Petoskey. =
One is the law relative to the COM
mittment of INDECENT insane persons
to asylums of the state. The pres
ent law provides that such persons
shall be committed as county
charges for the first year, and that
hereafter they be maintained at
state expense. The judges desire
the law amended so that these in
digents may be maintained by the
state from the beginning. 1t is un-
derstood that the asylum authorities
favor the amendment.
Another important recommends
tion to be made, by the judges is
that the limitation be removed from
the value OF real estate that thev
may order sold at private sale. 1t
has been their experience that IL
better return is realized from
private sale than from public sales,
and wish to be empowered to use
their own discretion in making
orders for sales. Under the exist
ing laws all sales of real estate val
ued at more than 81 900 must be at
auction. Property valued at less
than the above amount may be
ordered sold at either public or
private sale.
The legislature will be asked to
repeal the present law as to the
dover of widows. At present all "a
widow receives in cases Of the death
OF her husband without leaving q
will, is the interest on the income of
onc-eighth of the real estate. 1t is
proposed to give the widow an in
terest in the fec, or AN absolute in
terest in all the real estate, the rate
to be in just proportion to the
amount of property .and the number
of heirs.

An ASBESTOS FIND.
Ishpeming Parties Believe They
Have a Pretty Good
Thing.

An Ishpeming dispatch Of Wednes-
day says:
"With market conditions favor
able, Ishpeming's asbestos deposits
will sooner or later attract world
wide attention. This may sound to
many like an unwarranted state
ment, but all who have examined
the deposits recently uncovered near
the Ropes gold mine agree in that
opinion. The ming men OF the dis
trict donot pretend to know a great
deal about asbestos, but many OF
their number, who have visited the
explorations, express the belief that
the parties who have procured an
option on the land where the min
eral is found have a good thing"

Bargains in boys school suits at
The VIM. Kitz Co. s store, Baraga,
A Scathing Roast.

Stirred to wrath by the theft of
some bags OF cement, Rev. A. r.
Johns, pastor Of the Methodist church
at Hancock, expressed his opinion
of the thief or thieves in the follow :
ing picturesque language in local
paper:
"Some low-lived vagabond has
stolen about eight bags OF Portland
cement that we're kept under shelter
on the property of the new NJ. f..
church. A person who would steal
anything must have a conscience
scared over as with red hot iron,
but the scoundrel who is sunk so
low as to steal from a church society
that is struggling so hard and sac
rificing so much to erect its build
ing, is too contemplate to walk
this earth. The Methodists believe
in hell, aud no wonder. There
ought to be a place in the next
world where just such vile wretches
will be made to suffer for their out
rageous acts"

 New York. April 7.-July sold a point higher than Saturday and at the highest figures of the session. Liquidation was again the feature and selling proved so large that the price did little more than hold its own. In view of light receipts the advance was not as great as might have been looked for The movement is too light to allow a severe break, and yet so much cotton is being thrown on the market that the appearance is rather heavier than otherwise. On Friday and again on Saturday there was enough news to put the market over cents. This morning every reason for cents and over was in evidence. So much cot ton has been sold that prices are likely to advance rapidly in the event of an up- ward movement on continued light re- ceipts As one broker expressed it. prof its have been taken, and when this takes place on an advancing market it gener- ally means higher prices. Receipts are too small at the moment to encourage any short selling but we begin to com pare with a much smaller movement last year, and weather is likely to improve. Should receipts fall off further prices are likely to advance rapidly. On the other hand should cotton come forward In larger quantities, the prices could hardly hold at the present level. Nine cents In the spring of the year is a good price for cotton-it is a big price. Of course, the level may be higher. We would rather let the other fellow bull the market for time

New York, April '. - Notwithstanding the rather liberal movement expected for today, Liverpool responded to our closing decline of Saturday by an actual advance in the near positions. while the more dis tant options were unchanged and neg lected.
 There was a tendency among some of the local traders to view the Liverpool situation with suspicion on the ground that the advance was probably the result of manipulation from this side This ex- planation was not considered plausible, however, which reported sales of 12,000 bales at an advance of 1-32d to sd for midding.
 The early estimates for today's port re- oefpts were 11,OO0 bales. against 11,7O4 last week and 15,374 last year. from which 1t will be observed that while comparing favorably with last year. the movement promised to be somewhat in excess of bull expectations. The strength at Liver pool was not to be overlooked and tho local market opened at an advance of practically 8 to g points on active months.
