SEVEN HUNDRED PERISH.
Steamer Norge Goes Down and OBI.
Tventy-Scven Are Suved.

Steamer Norge Goes Down and Only
Twenty-Scven Are Saved.
Over 100 Danish and Norwegian
cmigrants bound for New York are
believed to have been drowned in the
North Atlantic June 2S. Out of nearly
800 souls on board the Danish steamer
Norge, which left Copenhagen June
80. only twenty-seven are known to be
alive and for the rest no hope is held
out
When last seen the Norge was sink
ing where she struck on the islet OF
iockall. whose isolated peak raises
Itself from deadly Atlantic reef
some POO miles of the west coast of
Scotland.
Early OH the morning of last Tues
day the Norge, which was out OF her
course in heavy weather, ran onto the
Rockall reef, which In the distance
looks like ship under full sail. The
Norge was quickly backed off, but the
heavy seas poured In through rent in
her bows.
The cmigrants who were awaiting
breakfast below ran on deck. The
hatchways were scarcely built TO.
these hundreds Of souls and became
clOgged.
The Norge quickly began to &C
down by tile head. Eight boats were
lowered and into these the women
ana children were hurriedly put. Six
of these boats smashed against the
side of tie Norge and their helpless
inmates were caught up by the heavy
seas
Two boatloads got safely away from
the side of the sinking ship and many
of the emigrants who were left OH
board, selling life belts, threw them
selves into the see and were drowned.
Capt. Gundel. so say the survivors,
stood on the bridge of the doomed YES
sci until IL could be seen no more.
The Norge foundered suddenly and
some 600 terrified emigrants were
thrown into the water or drawn down
by the sinking ship. Those who could
swim tried 10 reach the boats, but
these were already too full and their
occupants beat off the drowning
wretcheS with oars.
The boats kept together for some
hours. Practically all of their occu-
pants were passengers and were not
used TO handling such craft. The boat
occupied by the survivors landed IT
Crlmsby was n lifeboat.

The States Suit Against the Michigan
Central.

The States Suit Against the Michigan
Central
The suit of the state of Michigan
against the Michigan Central railway
TO collect back taxes which the state
claims are due because of the alleged
false statements of the road for many
year regarding its actual condition,
capital, net earnings, etc. will be
started in the Ingham county circuit
court within few days. Otto Kirch-
ner and Thomas +. Barkworth, who
are associated with Attorney General
Blair In the case. are putting the finish
ing touches on the papers. The prin-
cipal of the states claim amounts TO
S4,O5OO0O and the interest will bring
the amount up to $T,000,000. This is
81 100000 more than the Michigan
Central claims as damages against the
state by reason of the repeal of its
special charter.
1t is said the only defense the rail-
road has is the statute of limitations
and the states answer TO this is that
the statute of limitations will not help
a railroad which has wilfully withheld
information. The reports of the COM
pany are alleged TO be deceptions since
1854.

the result of malicious mischief. He
said the north track. as that siding +
called. had not been used during the
day and it is plain that the switch
was tamperad with. Not fifteen min

ton of passenger train No. 10, south
bound, passed over it safely. Bur

switch was turned and the lock lying

A representative Of the ERA last

The ore in the south half Of the Golden Eagle vein has been uncovered for several hundred feet, which will average from IS inches to feet in width and assays about $50 in gold and silver and about 10 per cent. copper. On the north workings of the same lead the ore averages much higher, running from Sl00 to sl50 in gold and about 7j ounces silver, besides some copper. Manager Beauchamp is naturally well pleased with the Golden
 Eagle. but he aoprehends that the cOmpanv's big mines will be developed on the Black Prince lead, which shows ore values for seventy feet in width. This is copper proposition, but also runs in gold. The company has a splendid showing for good producers.
