Work on the library building has
been resumed and from now on there
will be no delay. The cold weather
coming so quickly last fall prevented
the finishing of the foundation walls
but these are now being laid and the
water tables are here to be put on
them when finished. Mr.. Pierce says
there will be no question about hav-
ing the building completed by Oct. Is.
The cut stone work comes from Gales
burg, where there is an establishment
for cutting it by machinery. The saw
ing in getting it done this way over
hand work is about $4,000. If it had
not been for this saving in cost the
size of the building would have been
materially reduced, and it is probable
the library trustees would have
thought il advisable to postpone the
erection till more money would have
been available for the purpose.

Crow and demanding money under a
threat to kidnap his child, lived in
the house next east of the old Grove
farm on the Wapsie. and his children
were born and raised there. He knew

LIFE FOR old CLIFF
Bigelow Syndicate Has Started Ex-
plorations on a Property Which
Has a History.
Largest Mass Of Silver Ever Found
in America Was Taken
From It.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Calumet, Mich, Sept. 29.-The Bigelow syndi-
cate, which some time ago obtained possession
of the property, has started exploratory work at
the old Cliff copper mine, in Keweenaw county,
for many years the most famous producer Of the
Lake Superior copper district.
. The Cliff, which has been idle for many years,
has an interesting history. Fabulous tales are
told of the wealth Of the mine in silver. A mug
weighed eighty pounds, and is said to have been
the largest mass of silver ever found in Amer
lea, If not in the world
Shortly after the mine was opened, miners
who were working In one Of the levels unexpect-
eddy broke into 'vug." or small room, which
was literally studied from floor to roof with
nuggets of pure silver. The masses of the
white metal were quickly removed from the
walls and a dozen empty powder kegs We're filled
and secreted underground until such time as
the silver could be removed few pounds at a
time. ~ ~. tf.s5
The mining captain, however, discovered the
all the silver except one key. The contents of
this, weighing nearly 800 pounds, and valued
then at $1.4o troy ounce the miners sue
ceeded in getting to the surface undetected.
This instance is but one of many related Of
how minters employed at the property retired
after few years Of work with sufficient wealth
to keep them comfortably for the rest of their
lives 1t being asserted that they secured more
of the silver than did the company.
The old mine was opened on fssure vein, but
the property is Of large, extent and traversed by
several lodes which it is believed could be
very successfully operated It is fully expected
will result In the Cliff joining the list
of producers. 4

Lewis Tells His Story Of the Killing of

FORMAN, N. D.-The shooting of Charles
Christman by Hayes Lewis at the Coleman farm

edge Of Sargent county by the posse from Cakes
Forman and lodged him In the county Jail.

pany him from the scene Of the shooting has not

way to Cakes to give himself up and that he
had hidden in the swamp to escape being killed
by the threshing crew, which witnessed the
shooting, and started in pursuit of him. He says
lection for them both, but that the brother
probably saw the Cakes posse on the way, and
being frightened, hid from them.
The members of the threshing crew are all
