THE MICHIGAN.

A diamond drill was received this
week and is.being placed on the bottom
of the mine to prove mp this property.
1t is likely that the future work of the
Oliver Mining company at this property
depends great deal upon the results
shown up by this drill. The divers
have been working nearly four years
on this property. They have spent a
lot Of money in an attempt to develop
a big mine. but, to date results have
not been commensurate with ex-
penditures. The Michigan does not
seem to carry continuation OF the
Hemlock deposit across its length, the
ore body being confined to the portion
of the property between the shaft and
the Hemlock line which, when the
narrowness of the vein lis taken into
consideration. is not what it should
be.
The divers have certainly giver
the property good testing and theil
failure to dev elop big mine canno
be charged any lack of effort

WIRELESS MESSAGES TO
DEFY THE ELEMENTS
Discovery Assures Transmission
Despite Etheric Disturbances.

BOSTON. Mass. Aug. 3s-Wireless tel
er stage by John S. Stone. professor at
the Massachusetts, Institute OF Technol-
ogy. who says he has discovered the only
entirely "selective" system of wireless
telegraphy in existence and possessing
a number of important qualities lacking
in the Marconi systems.
Prof Stone has established communi-
another at Cambridge Each station is
located within few hundred feet Of
electric car lines. The current from the
trolley wires has no effect upon the
wireless system.
Mr.. Stone considers that the success
of his system will lie in its "selectiYity.' .
By this is meant that the capacity OF a
wireless telegraph system for sending
messages from a given traIsmitter TO a
given receiver. and to that receiver
alone. is assured, and that the capacity
Cor simultaneously sending a number OF
such messages without interfering with
each other. and at the same time with
out being interfered with by messages
sent by other systems. or by etherIc dis
turbances from other sources, such as
thunder storms, electric cars, ETC., Is
feasible.
Another feature is a relay. Insteci of
having very high masts in order TO send
messages great distances, IL Is Prof.
stones purpose to have intermediary
stations. as would be the case in long
telegraph lines.

that Mr.. Gates is far from being the

known in Wall Street With his son.

nine years old, and his wife, eighty-two
years old. have located their son John

The old folk went to Seattle. thence to
Skaguay. and then to Dawson City.
where they learned their son was in

"Our experience on previous visits had

RUSSIAN OFFICER
TERR0RIZES CROWD
Boards Steamer With Drawn
Sword.
ANOTHER KILLS GUESTS

BERLIN, Aug. 3.-An extraordinary
story of a Russian officer running
amuck comes from Simbirsk, on the
Volga.
The steamer Katschow was lying at
the quay at Simbirsk, when the officer.
whose name is Major Schutoff. Just after
night fall. rushed on board with drawn
sword. with which he wildly slashed at
anyone within reach.
After scattering the crew who were
on deck he went below. and. putting to
flight the stewards and cooks, invaded
the passengers berths, where he Gre
ated quite panic. In very scanty night
attire they fed from him. many jumping
over the ships side on the quay.
Soldiers Fire on Ship.
Having put everyone to flight. Schu-
turned to their beds and the crew to
their work
Two hours later, however. everyone
on board was startled by the sound of
drums and bugles. and they then found
that Schutoff had returned at the head
OF a company of infantry. He ordered
the soldiers TO fire on the steamer, and
the men. having no choice but to obey.
opened a fusillade
Showers Of bullets fell on the deck
and pierced the portfolios, the passen-
gers and crew. thoroughly terrified,
seeking refuge in all sorts OF hooks and
corners Of the snip. After a quarter Of
an hours sharp firing Schutoff marched
his men back TO the barracks, and no
more was heard Of him.
Complaint was made to the authori-
ties of the outrage. but no explanation
of Major Schutoff's extraordinary con-
duct was given, while a demand from
the owners OF the ship for compensation
was refused. Schutof is still doing duty
with his regiment, and so far as has
been ascertained has gone unpublished. =
Officer Shoots His Guests.
Another Russian officer named Lieu
tenant ChoroschIlof was entertaining
three brother officers at dinner at
Vladimir Volnysk. IN the province OF
Volhynia, when he suddenly rose from
the table. seized a revolver. and fired
al his guests.
All three fell TO the ground, and the
lieutenant then blew out his brains.

in and found the lieutenant and two of
the guests dead. and the other so badly
wounded that he died In few hours.
