LOGGING OUTFITS SEIZED
EXTREME MEASURES TAKEN BY
BRITISH COLUMBIA TIMBER
SURVEYOR TO STOP LOG
SMUGGLING.
Special to The Journal.

Vancouver. B. c., Sept. 27.-John
Murray, British Columbia timber sur
veyor, has seized the entire logging out
fits Of the. Monarch Lumber company
and the Erie MN company, pending an
companies have been shipping logs to
Blaine, Wash, without paying the pro-
vincial export tax or royalty for the
past six months, the Struggled logs
amounting to several million feet. The
value Of the seizure is about 100000.
The camps are south of Westminster,
on Mud bay, Nicomekil bay and Simae-
hoo bay: There was an impression
among the loggers that the government
did not intend to prosecute anyone for
breaking this law, and the seizure has
caused much excitement.
The defense Of the companies inter
ested is that w. Leamy, the Dominion
timber Inspector, gave them clearance
papers and they felt that any provincial
law would not affect them if they re-
eeived clearances from the agent Of the
Dominion of Canada. Murray reports
that there is wholesale smuggling going
on and that there will be more seizures

FIND SITE OF LE
.SUEUR'S old FORT
BUILT IN 100 BY THE INTREPID
EXPLORER.

Land Was Cultivated.

Special to The Journal
Mankato, Mimi, Sept. 27.-Judge
Lorin Cray of the district court, Gen
eral J. II. Baker and Thomas Hughes
of the State Historical society and Pro
fessor U. O. Cox of the state normal
school made a successful search for the
LOCATION of the fort that was b built three
river in 100 by LIE Sueur and his party
Of thirty men. who came UP the Mis-
sissippi and Minnesota rivers by boat
in search of the copper mine that was
said to exist in this vicinity. The writ
ings Of lie Sueur and others of the party
are still preserved, and from them the
location of the fort, and also Of the
mine, was traced.
The fort was found to have been
built on rather high eminence on O
large mound where the LIE Sueur river
flows into the Blue Earth river, three
miles from Mankato. This land is now
under cultivation, but before it was
ticed. There is also q fine spring of
water flowing out Of the top of the
mound, and it's source is a mystery, as
the surrounding country is nc. higher.
1t was here that the wooden fort was
constructed, and 400 buffalo were killed
for the winter g food supply.
The place where the supposed copper
ore was taken from was found two miles
up the Blue Earth river, where the bank
is steep. A layer Of blue soil was found
fifty feet above the water, eighteen
inches in thickness, which turns green
when dried. The French adventures
sent two tons of this earth to France,
but as it is not recorded that any more
was taken it was probably found not
to contain the expected metal.
The descriptions given by LIE Sueur
were found to have been very exact, and
| course that he pslSked out. No relics
Of any kind were f5And.
