Cass Lake, Mimi, Jan. 2s.-Chief Lumber
man Bruce Of the bureau Of forestry, said
before leaving for Washington:
THE work Of selecting the proposed
forest reserve out Of the Chippewa res
ervation is advanced as far as possible
In the field at the present time. The re-
suit and reports will be submitted to the
chief Of the bureau, Clifford Pinchott, be-
fore the final selection is made. I believe
I have all the necessary data on all the
lands classified. I am very we'll pleased
at the manner In which Chief Examiner
Warren Is doing his work In classifying
and examining the lands. I have visited
the several crews and am satifed. In
asn1uch as the selection Of the lands to
constitute the national reserve depends
on the classifying. I am anxious that the
proper work be done.
Il am specially pleased at the manner
In which Major Scott Is conducting the
Indian affairs, and am under many obli-
cations to him. 1 believe he is the right
man in the right place.
II believe that when the result of my
work Is before my chief for his consider
alton and determination, 1t will be possi-
Bile for him to make a selection of at
least a portion Of the proposed national
forest reserve Affairs will probably be
the wipter Of 190S-o4 without the neces-
sity OF any amendment to the Morris
Bill"
Bishop Morrison will hold service at the
Methodist church Sunday morning. There
will be a celebration Of holy communion
George Lydick left on Tuesday for

The long deferred Indian payment will
commence at Walker on Tuesday. After
the Indians are paid at that reservation,
Major Scott will go to Red Lake and pay
off there. and then he will come here and
settle with the Indians.

No Hope Left Him Through the Leg

Mining Trust.
Specials to The Journal.

Specials to The Journal.
Butte, Mont, Jan. 23.-Stories cur
rent in the east of the pending absorp-
tion OF the holdings of the United Cop-
per Mining company, and a new stock
issue to acquire the same, find much
credence in Butte. The conditions ap-.
parently are ripe for a transfer of the
Heinze properties to the big mining trust.
The recent decline of Amalgamated to
54h, marking the record low price for
the stock, means a slump of Sill, ,025,000
poration. At SAN the 'Amalgamated was
rated at ss4,475, 900, while at 1870, the rec
ord top price Of. the stock, the market
able value was $201, 500, ,000.- The drop in
the price of the red metal from II cents
to the neighborl1ood of 13 cents has
caused a difference of s9,6S6,6S7 in the
annual earning capacity Of the Amalga-
mated group of mines at Butte. Only the
Parrot mine of the Amalgamated prop
critics shows increased earnings. s
F. Augustus Heinze's hope to wage a
successful war against the interests of
the Amalgamated lay in the prospect Of
the present legislature increasing the
number Of supreme court justices from
three to five. In this event Governor
J. K. Toole, who Is recognized as one
Of Eeinzes lieutenants. would have the
is alleged, such men would be named
as would conserve the interests af Heinze
in his numerous suits against the Anal
ganated, involving millions of dollars
and titles to the richest mines in Butte.
With every probability now that his cher
isl1ed scheme will fall the Carter or
Amalgamated republicans, control the
house and the Clark democrats, together
with the Ama1gamated people, WELD the
power in the senate, Heinze is in desper-
ate straits and peace apparently is i'm
perative. r., .'' -.
On the other hand, the An1algamated
company can i'll afford to allow an OPP
portunity to slip wherein Heinze could
be forced to sell out ait a figure much
below the fabulous sums heretofore de-
manded Of the Amalgamated for. his hold
ings in Butte, when An1algamated stock
is on the toboggan slide with very waver-
ing tendencies.
The Boston & Montana mine, against
which F. Augustus Heinze has instituted
proceedings to prevent its absorption by
the Amalganated and to have receiver
! named, is the main asset Of the Anal
gan1ated company. This case is now
pending in the federal court.
The Anlalgamated people profess to feel
| more hopeful in the copper outlook and
believe that the increased production Of
the Boston & Montana. which started
| December with a yield Of 10000, 900
pounds of copper monthly, will raise it's
dividends above the 81 a year now paid.

SEVEN FEET TALL

Rooney until shot. Rooney says one of

second floor is utilized for offices, tele-
phone exchange, supply and toilet rooms.
All the machinery and fixtures are Of the

Mill Tests on Winona Rock Proved

five Pounds of Mineral

Special to The journal,

Special to The Journal. -.
Houghton, Mich, Jan. 23.-One of the
surprises OF the past lew weeks has been
the mill returns secured from Winona
rock. For two years the outlook has
been decidedly blue. In order to give the
property at least a min-test, after the
expenditure Of several hundred thousand
dollars, arrangements were made to lease
one head at the Atlantic mill for a few
weeks. Some of the best rock taken from
the mine was sent to the mill. The best
Judges were divided in opinion as to
whether this would yield ~ or IN per
cent mineral, respectively rs and 30
pounds to the ton. 10 the surprise of all
concerned, the first weeks run averaged
IS pounds OF mineral q ton, a higher
percentage Of copper than is secured from
any mine Of the district except the Calu-
met & Hecla. Later returns have been
smaller, but still very good.
Reports of a Trimountain dividend in
the near future are probably premature.
It is certain, however, that the Trin1oun-
tain is netting fine profits, and a divi-
dend may reasonably be expected before
the close Of the year, regardless of the
market price Of the metal. "
+ The output of the Calumet and Arizona
mine was about 1,600;000 pounds for 1902,
secured from q single furnace blown in
Nov. 15, while for the present year the
kmana cement estimates an output of 50,-
100000 pounds, which will place the mine
among the largest copper producers OF
the world.
I The Copper Range Consolidated com.
pany is prospering.: Its railroad is MAX
ing handsome net earnings, and it's traffic
is increasing rapidly, while, the extern
sion from Houghton to Calumet will soon
be in operations. The Baltic mine is earn
ing good profits, and the Champion Il
showing monthly earnings. The matter Of
a dividend on this stock is one that will
probably come up for consideration dur.
ing the present or; following year. -
The Osceola is increasing production
and the December output was the largest
for six months, while january should
show another increase. ..n> :,~..r. -,
| = The results secured from the use Of
Chilean mills for regrinding has led tc

The reduction Of 50 cents in the semi
annual dividend Of the Quincy is not g
disappointment to lake shareholders, az
the majority OF them expected a cut o.
a dollar. The output Of the Quincy fol
last year fell Oft more than a million
pounds from the production Of 1901, dut
to the smaller percentage of copper II
the rock miiled, as more rock was
stamped than in the preceding year. The
1902 productio NOT the Franklin was th'
largest in the history OF the company.
