amples. The Encyclopedia Britannica,
he thought, was fairly wellinformed
authority, and if he'd read just page
or two Of that every night within a
few years he'd know about everything
extant.

an hour after the course had begun.
"how do you like it?"

  looms on Tenth street. IL caused some comment as it was known that the deeds issued by the International Land and Improvement company contained stringent provisions forbidding the employ mcnt of women in any capacity in saloons, except in limited area in the southwestern part of town. The woman was in the saloon for two nights only, she being dismissed by the pro- prietor after notification by the con stable that the engagement was closed. In conversation with S. F.

And in this the company will be backed by the entire community. international.

They were discov- cred laying in the drift shortly after ward ny the shift boss when he en- tered. Merrill was dead, his compan- ion was alive but unconscious.

ton into postoffice affairs made by the

practically alike, charging that briggs,
between July 20 and "a. 1900, unlawful.
", agreed to receive and did receive a
$500 check from the Fraudulent COM

OBTAINS VALUABLE LAND.
State Of Minnesota Enriched by Acqui.
sitIon of 4 LARGE Ore Tract.

State Of Minnesota Enriched by Acqui-
sitIon Of 4 Large Ore Tract.
st. Paul, June 25.-Through the
close work Of State Auditor Iverson,
Minnesota has been enriched to the
extent Of 81, 0 900 by the granting
Of a disputed tract Of forty acres in the
Mesaba range to the state.
This tract has long been in dispute,
being claimed by two Wisconsin men
named Smith and Bradshaw, who are
represented by Attorney John j. Skuse
Of Duluth, but had been claimed by
the state as swamp land under an act
of congress of March ~. 1860.
The history of the tract is a check
cred one. 1t has been claimed by
many persons and under many pre-
texts. So-called errors in the line Of
survey have figured largely, resur-
veys have been made, and technical
difficulties have been evolved, SEEM
ingly out Of n%othingness, and all be-
cause 1t was positively known$that the
same priceless iron lead that has made
the Sauntry, Oliver and Alpena mines
30 valuable runs through It.
Upon the point Of whether or not
this tract should be considered Swamp
lands" depends the validity Of the
states claim. Surveyor General War
ner has had many examinations made
of all the claimants, and the present
lessees Mabel Evans; has gone over
the ground in company with State Au-
ditor Tverscn. and the result Of It ell
was that 1t was selected as Swamp
lands" IN a decision Of Surveyor Cen
eral Warner. .
