a resident Of 2Cass Lake, her mother being
halfblood Mississippi Chippewa and a

Mrs. Lydick was the eldest of three chill

resided in Cass Lake for six years. The
action for section is as an allotment was
commenced FIVE years ago.
The claim for the allotment, which in
clude the NE n and the e II :of the NE
n of section 16, was filed in September,
1898. Shortly afterwards the state laid
claim to the whole Of section 16, under the
claim made by State Auditor Dunn that
Minnesota was entitled to- every section
16 and Sc in the entire Chippewa reserva-
ton as school land, under#a grant, made
several years ago by the general govern
ment. This claim complicated matters
considerably and further tied up the land,
until a decision could be reached in the
matter as to who was rightfully entitled to
the property. 80 - 5.'.!Ey IL -, :.
The death of Senator Davis, who was
acting as attorney for the state in the
matter, caused a further postponement
Of the decision, but a decision was finally
made in April, 1902; adversely to the
state. In the meantime some question
had been raised as to theeright Of Mrs.
Lydick and her children; and inspectors
were sent to Cass Lake from Washington

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept. "a
There has been no change whatever IN
the condition Of affairs on either side OF
the river since the news was first current
that the plants of the Consolidated Lake
Superior company had been ordered
closed The steamer Minnie M, one OF
the company's passenger boats. arrived
this morning from the Michipicoten min
ing district, carrying the usual passenger
list.
Worknlen employed at the Helen Iron
mine and the Grace gold mine still re-
main there. The men in the woods, VINO
number about 1000, are yet at work. Pas
senger trains on the Algoma Central,
connecting the 500 with the lumber
woods, are running daily except Sunday
on the regular schedule. .-.,.
Reports that have been sent outside
to the effect that great hardships would
be suffered by the employees who have
been suddenly thrown out of positions
have had no foundation in fact, nor has
the company or the townspeople OF the
Canadian 500 been at any time fearful
Of any trouble whatever with the dis
charged employees.
It Is hoped that arrangements will be
made whereby the men In the woods and
mines will be kept at work. If this Is
impossible, it Is stated at the company s

and in any event the company's employees
will be subjected to no extraordinary hard

Ore Carriers Still Busy.
The ore carriers are still In commits
sion and the only craft of the company s
fleet ordered to tie up Is the passenger
steamer, King Edward. AS matter OF
fact, things In general in both Soos are
much the same to-day as they have been
since the company's financial embarrass-
ment was first noticed.
Business has been dull this summer in
both towns and the merchants have been
preparing for a quiet winter by curtail-
ing their orders for goods and cutting
down expenses in every possible way.
Rumors are current that r. H. Clergue
has made or is making arrangements
whereby syndicate Of which he will be
the head, will take over the mortgage of
Speyer & Co., together with other obliga-
tons Of the Consolidated company. This
Is said to be based on an assertion made
by Mr.. Clergue to a gentleman who Is
very close to him.
There Is no way of verifying whatever
truth there may be in this, as nothing Is
known Of 1t at the companys office, and
Mr.. Clergue Is in the east His holdings
prior to the cOmpany's difficulties were,
and are still said to be, the largest of any
individual stakeholder.
Despite the ennbarrassments that have
overtaken the immense projects created
by his genius, there are many who have
confidence in his ability to pull safely
thru. It Is said by those who have been
closest to him here, that 1t is his plan to
do this and that he will succeed.

A STRIKE In PROSPECT
The United States Steel Corporation
Faces Trouble With Members of
Amalgamated Unions.

Pittsburg, Sept. "a. general strike Of
the Amalgamated Association Of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers against the United

An intense feeling has existed between
the representatives Of both sides since the
National Tube company, subsidiary
concern of the steel combine, refused to
recognize the Amalgamated association.
One of the most important meetings in
the history Of the Amalgamated associa-

at the national headquarters. All the

cretly notified to hold special meetings to
select delegates for a gathering to be held

will take place Friday at the national Of

fused to sign it's wage scales has been
