Timber on Unsurveyed Lands.

Unusual activity in the land depart
ment at Washington, ID. g., has result.
ed in the seizure Of a large amour Of
cord wood and mine timbers at Republic,
in Washington. This timber has been
cut on the un~surveyed lands in the nor
thern part of tho Colville reservation.
The mining companies did not cut the
timber, but as the men who did the cut
ting are poor and unable to pay for the
trcspass, the government agents are
calling upon the mining companies for a
settlement. The same thing has occur
red many times in the past elsewhere,
and in each case the government has
shown a disposition to make the assess.
ment AZ light AZ possible, az the fact 10
recognized that the timber IL absolutely
essential to the operation Of the mines,
The usual practice has been to fix a nomi-
nal price on the timber cut, as determin.
ell by the stumpage, without assessing
additional charges ~ penalties. There
il said to be no timber available other
than that on the unsurveyed lands Of the
government, and should the authorities
deal harshly with the mine owners il
would probably result in n suspension Of
mining operations there. The timber
lands n that section OF the State cannot
be- taken up under any Of the laws re-
garding timber lands, owing to the prob
ability Of it's proving to he mineral land.
In view Of the circumstances, n satisfac-
tory adjustment of the difficulty may be
anticipated. Mining and Scientific

The Chicago Tribune Of last weel

an oft.repeated tale, the scene Of which
IL laid In Montana:
For years gold hunters In Montans
have been looking for a fabulous mine
At one time 30 many deaths resulted
among the prOspectOrs that II became q
superstition that To seek the hidden
wealth was to court death. The only
man that knew its exact location was
George Rea, a scout, guide and hunter,
who died about a year ago, and was
known to several Chicagoans.
Rea had revealed the mine to men
who had been induced to put money in
II, but the find did not equal their calcu-
lations-in fact, amounted to nothing.

ment. In the spring an exploring party
found the body in the snowbank and
buried it.
Another death wal that OF a prospec-
tor who wal thrown from his horse and
killed. He was missed and his friends
tried to find him. After a while they
discovered his horse standing as II tied
to something immovable on the ground.
This was found to be the dead body OF
the gold hunter, who had been killed in
stantly in the fall from his horse. The
third death resulted from mountain fe.
yer and the skeleton Of the prospector
was found near his abandoned hut. A
scrawl IN a piece Of paper told how he
had died.
After Rea was released from prison he
made no immediate effort to find his
mine again. After about 20 years, dur.
ing which time there were numerous
other attempts made by p~rospectors,
he interested two miners in the tabled
wealth and conducted them TO the loca.
ton. They put thousands Of dollars and
two years Of time In working the ledge.
The first results seemed to substantiate
the stories Of the enormous value but
afterwards II was found that there were
but a few strings Of the gold.besring

who met their death and the men

MAIL POUCH GRAFT.
Trial Of Upton and McGregor
Resumed at Baltimore.

Baltimore. Dec. S.-The trial of
Columbus Ellsworth Upton and
Thomas w. NcGregOr, postoffiee de-
partment clerks. charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the government in
mail pouch contract frauds. was re-
sumed today before Judge Morris in
the U. S. district court. Charles J.
Bonaparte, represented the governren
as special counsel William Hayden,
secretary of the Warren Leather Goods
that his company had furnished &c, ono
leather merchant of Baltimore, who
had secured the contract with the gov
eminent with the aid of Upton and Nc
Gregor on a promise to divide profits
with them. Hayden identified certain
correspondence with Smith, showing
that his purpose was to make it appear
at the postofhce department that he,
and not the Warren company. was the
manufacturer of the pouches. He also
testified that the Warren company had
furnished the pouches to Smith at 37i%
cents each. for which Smith had re-
ceived 80 cents.
Hayden said that his company had
employed an agent to go to Washing
ton to secure the contract for furnish
ing the pouches, but had Withdrawn
from the competition on account of
threats made by Smith, who declared
he had a strong official influence in the
pOstofhce department.
Fred H. Case and Arthur w. Colby,
employees Of the Warren Leather Goods
company. identified certain bills for
the goods shipped to Smith.

that he was included in the warrant he
came to the station and was arrested.
The officers testified that they found
nothing but an empty keg, connected by
a ground tube" to the basement, and
so arranged that upori an alarm the
bartender could turn a check valve and
the beer would fall gracefully and gent
ly out of the key into the cellar below.
1t took quite a while to connect Raynor
with the place, and the evidence was N
G. until A. e. Washburn, a member of
the firm of Geo. M. Noble & Co. who
have the building to rent, testified that
Raynor paid the rent. Here was where
Raynor was found guilty of maintain
ing.
The next case was against "Epp'
Love, bartender in the joint at 114-116
East Seventh street. There was more
evidence (and more witness fees paid
in this case, but the defendant was dis
charged. Not SO, however, with the
contraband goods found in the place.
There was a separate action, under the
Cubbison law, against the liquor, start
ing out thus: ''City of Topeka VS.. 1
Barrel Schlitz beer" The barrel of
Schlitz was found guilty and ordered
destroyed. This movement is not neces-
sary when the defendant in the case is
found guilty. It is used only when a
nuisance is established, but the owner
ship is not proven.
The other cases, one against S. Klein,
as steward of the Shawnee club, and
another against E. c. Russun, were
laid over until the afternoon session.
