LAND FOR SMELLING
Government Begins Condemnation Pro
ceedInqs to Get 1t.


Forst Smelling marks men are to have
n new rifle range. Charles c.. Houpt,
United States district attorney for Min
nesota, has filed, in federal court, a Pc
tition for the appointment Of three COM
missioners to determine the value of S45
acres of land for the purpose. The land
desired is situated south Of the Fort Smell
ing reservation, and $4,000 is available
for the payment of the owners whose
property will be taken by condemnation
proceedings.
Theland lies along the west bank Of
the Minnesota river. with a western
boundary at the Minneapolis road. The
northern boundary begins near the inter-
section of the old reservation grounds and
the Bloomington road, which traverses the
property to the southwest corner. The
southern part of the tract lies just across
Little creek. The range will be located
near the Minnesota river side of the prop
erty, and the attorney declares that the
range can be used by the soldiers with
perfect safety to users Of the adjacent
roads, ..ts .....
The property to be taken for the rifle
range and reservation addition embraces
farm lands, the grounds Of the Meadow
Gun club. all Of Smelling park and Shell
ing Heights. The petition recites that
efforts to gain the property by purchase
have been unavailing on account Of a diff
ference of opinion regarding the value.

THE LEANING TOWER AT 3D.
LOGNA SOLD.

Bologna's most singular structure,
the leaning Garisenda tower, which
was begun in ITO by Filippo and OF
tone Garisenda, and which was owned
by the Marquis Malvezzi, has been
purchased by Baron Raimondo Fran
chetti who is we'll known as a COM
poser. The price paid is said to be
$4,000.
The Garisenda tower is only 1853 feet
high. but ii is ten feet out of the per-
pendicular. Dante, in his Inferno,
compares the giant Antaeus, who
bends toward him, with this tower,
when a cloud passes over it,"
The sale of the tower has given rise
to much dissatisfaction, and the gov
eminent has been urged to interfere
for the purpose of securing it for the
nation, thus preserving the most i'm
portant monument.
One of the two Meaning towers of
Bologna, the Tore Garisenda is the
most remarkable. The Tore Asinelli,
erected in 11O9 is 800 feet high, but on
ly ten feet out of the perpendicular.
1t is believed that the obliquity of
the Tore Asinelli was caused by the
settling of the ground. while that of

hit a blow they are too far apart. The
right foot should not be directly be-
hind the left but spread, so that the
body may not be easily upset side
ways nor yet backward.
When you step in for blow take
the spring from the right foot, lifting
the body forward and steadying it
with the left.
In landing a right-hand swing bring
the right leg forward with the blow.
This will bring the feet together. They
should not be kept together second
after the blow lands. Either carry the
right foot forward or bring it back
again to the first position. If the
feet are together it is very easy for

THE TOMBSTONE PUMPS.
Gradually Getting Control of the Wat
err Situation.

The big pumps on the 700-foot level
of the Tombstone Con. Co, shaft were
in operation this week and work as
smooth and satisfactory as could pos
sibly be expected of the mammoth
machinery, says the Prospector. These
pumps are a duplicate of the large sta
ton pump on the 500 level and have
been installed as a relief for its mate,
the lower pumps being 100 feet below
the water level. The daily capacity of
the station pumps are 100000 gallons
each, the lower pump draining the in
coming flow and sending the same to
the reservoir on the level, 100 feet
above; from here. the first duplex
pumps continue the lift to the surface.
Should an accident happen to one, the
other is capable of handling the water
to the surface independently and sink
ing pumps held in constant reserve
makes the pIoba bility of any trouble
with the machinery or unexpected in
flow of water an obstacle to be readily
overcome.
Since the working of the pumps on
the 7G0-foot level, drifting has been
started and the work on this level will
be crowded ahead, considerable head
way having already been made. But
little trouble is being experienced with
the water, and as a conclusive indica-
ticn that the inflow of water on the
700 is diminishing, the pumping record
shows a gradual decrease. A COM
parison of the record of the past 20
days shows over 100000 gallons less
daily during that period. the record
fer yesterday being considerably below
the 1000 000-gallon mark. These
facts are indeed most encouraging and
show that the mine drainage problem
in the Tombstone district is being
solved beyond a question and the un-
erring judgment of President E. B.
Gage and General Manager w. F.
Stanton in this successful demonstra-
ton is evinced.
The company is arranging to begin
the sinking of the big shaft to 1000
feet. The preparatory work of contin-
uing the sinking of the shaft has al
ready been ordered, and with the start

feet. which is a most important re-
quirement in good boxer.
When you can jump about like this
for fifteen minutes at a time without
getting tired or losing your wind, and
if you do it quickly you will find that
it is not so easy as you think, it will
be time to learn the way to stand
when boxing. OF course, you never
stand still. You should always keep
your legs moving.
Do not keep the feet too close to-
gether or too far apart. If they are
too close you do not have a solid
stand and are easily knocked down.
If they are spread too for you will not
be able to quickly change their posi-
ton, and that you must be able to do
