LAKE SUPERIOR 6 PITTssURe

A communication received in 1oughton yesterday from Bisbee says that the lake Superior & Pittsbure are body is still holding out, with no and in sight. The drift from No. shaft at the 1,000-foot level has pro- Eessed I75 feet since the second ore kody was encountered some three aonths 1go.
 The communication speaks of this sscond ore body and the one in which Eke drift is now breasted as "one ore kody'' and refers to the 25 feet or so G barren ground, which was encount- cred after the drift passed through zbout 130 feet of ore, as break" Yhe copper country people have al- Wkys accepted this, and the Mining Gfasette mas referred to it as two ore HOdies; and called the one in which tie work is now progressing the third SxA hody. This. in truth. is the con- a1k1nA, so far as present demonstra-

uon has gone. It is not unlikely, however. that the drift has passed through he apexes of coneshapeL de posits, and that with depth they may be found Q converge. This is theo- retical so far. however.
 As mentioned in former articles in the Mining Gazette, the second ore body held out for over 130 feet in the drift, and a winze is to be sunk in the middle of this stretch to test it for Gepth. The barren stretch was about 25 leet, and the third ore body is now penetrated for about 20 feet, making a distance oi 175 feet, as stat ed before, since the second ere body was first entered.

RICH MINERAL DISTRICT.

Cochise county, in point of minerals of all kinds, is easily the second min ing county in Arizona, says a Mining
 World correspondent With a reali
 zation of present prospects it will probably be first in another year.
 That is, it has the wonderful Risbee
 Warren district for copper, the big Calumet < Arizona smelter at Doug
 las. with 2 much larger one in con struction J5ere for the Copper Queen, and it has the old Tombstone gold
 district, which the Tombstone Con- solicated Mines company has now
 practically rehabilitated to the pro- ducing point. In addition there is the Black Diamond smeltar in the hills a few miles from Tombstone, the wonderful Commonwealth gold mine, that goes on unceasingly turn ing out bricks, the new smelter at Benson, and numberless smaller en-
 terprises, many of them promising much in another twelvemonth. At Tombstone the big company is ship ping regularly to Fl Paso Its oper- ations have hitherto been extensive ly mentioned and the enterprise is getting larger every day. The water level in The district has been low cred TO m extent that has encour- aged many smaller enterprises to take hold. The Copper Queen, it is understood, would soon abandon it's Bisbee smelters, but report comes now that delay in the completion of the Douglas plant will delay the abandondment of the Bisbee plant. It
 is really immaterial to .Bisbee. as more miners will be employed when the smelters are removed. The The spectacular thing in mining dur ing the year is the number of new and large corporations that have been launched in Cochise county, many of them by Michigan capital. It is gratifying 10 know that two or three of them have found what they went after, and others are proceeding sat isfactorily toward the same end. There are TOW probably dozen CT fif- teen big enterprises under way in these parts. and numerous smaller ones.

COURT CLEARS NAME
OF SHERIFF PETRI
Declares Officer Was Not Derelict in
Serving Civil Execution

The official character of Sheriff DAN
iel Petri, of Hubbard county, Minneso-
ta, has been vindicated in an order
filed yesterday by Judge Jaggard, OF
the district court in an action of A. g..
Sommers & Co. against w. e. Vreden-
berg.
The plaintiff, local concern, hav-
ing obtained a judgment against the
defendant. a Hubbard county mer-
chant, sent to Sheriff Petri an execu-
ton to be served upon said defendant.
The execution was received by the
sheriff, as Judge Jaggard finds, on Jan.
II, 1904, but was not served by him
until Jan. 80. Meantime, as the plain
tiff asserted, the defendants property
was so converted that the execution
did not reimburse the plaintiff to the
same extent as if it had been served
earlier. The plaintiff therefore sued
to collect from the sheriff specific dam
ages amounting to $641.15 and to have
him fined, for the benefit of Ramsey
county, in the sum of 5000, because OF
alleged dereliction in the performance
of official duty.
- The court holds, however, that Sher-
iff Petri was obliged to take prisoner
to Saltwater soon after the execution
was received in Hubbard county; that
the defendant lived twenty
five miles from the county seat; that
the sheriff had but one deputy, and
that, everything considered, the sheriff
was not derelict in the performance of
his duty He was bound by law to ex-
hibft, in his official acts, no more than
a reasonable degree of diligence.
The court dismissed the order di-
rected to Sheriff Petri calling upon him
to show cause why he should not pay
the damages and the fine as demanded
by the plaintiff.

Government Troubled Keeping
Teachers at Work i'm Manila

The federal government finds it diff
fieult to secure sufficient number Of
schools teachers for service in the Phil
ippines. Civil service examinations to
obtain, these teachers have been held
at various cities about once month
for several months, and another ex-
animation will take place in st. Paul
and elsewhere Dec. 27 and %. Not less
than $50 more teachers are still re-
quired to fill vacancies, present and
prospective.
If the teachers are hard to engage,
they are harder to retain. Hence the
government will no longer transport
them to the islands free of charge. The
earlier detachments of male and fe-
male educators Travelled free to the
Philippines under contract to teach
there three years in the government
schools. But scarcely had some of the
male twig- -benders reached Luzon, it is
said, than they ignored their contracts
and entered commercial business. Many
of the young women changed their
minds regardless of legal promises and
concentrated their pedagogic skill upon
the school Of the husband.
1t is now the rule that the cost OF
transportation to the islands becomes
a charge against the teachers future
income from the government, and that
10 per cent of such charge must be
deducted from his monthly salary dur
ing the first ten months of service.
IT, however, the teacher teaches con-
tinuously for two years, the govern
ment will refund the whole amount of
the transportation charges. And if the
teacher fulfills his contract by remain
ing in active service three years, then
the government will paw the cost of
bringing him home.
Because of these new regulations, or
for some other reason, the Philippine
educational service is no longer at
tractive, at least in the Northwest.
Five applicants only took the last ex-
animation here.
= Both men and women may be exam
ined at the next official quiz" In ae-
icordance with their respective abilities
and experience, they will receive, at
first, from 5000 to $1,000 a year. They
will also have chances for promotion
to positions paying from $4,000 to $4,000
annually.

BIDS ARE SENT BACK
AIdermanic Committee Passes
Paving Contract Along

The aldermanic committee on streets
yesterday sent back without recon-
mendation the proposal to let the con-
tract for the paving of the Third street
bridge.
A. W Van Hafften, of Minneapolis,
the lowest bidder for the work, appear
ed before the committee and argued
that he made the bid in good faith,
was the lowest bidder and should re-
ceive the contract, according to the
recommendation of the city engineer.
He claimed that it had been stated that
the contract should be given to a ST.

higher.

RELATIVES CONTEST
WILL OF BRANNAN
Attempt to Break instrument Now on
Before Probate Judge Baziie

That James Brannan, an old grocer
and saloonkeeper, who died Sept. 27 at
the city hospital, was incompetent to
make the will that he made Sept 4,
before he was removed to the hospital
from his bachelor home, 390- 1872 Como
avenue, is the contention in current
proceedings before Judge Bazille of
the probate court.
Technically, the court is hearing ar
guments on the petition of Rev. Law
renee Cosgrove, executor of the Bran
nan will, that the will be admitted to
probate. But the testimony really in
wolves a contest of the will on the
part of Brannan's relatives, especially
his mother, who lives in Londonderry,
Ireland. Other relatives are brother,
Arthur Brannan; two nieces, Mrs.
Elmer Brown and Miss Mary Brannan,
of st. Paul, and nephew, John P.
Brannan, who is local mail carrier.
The viii left $1,000 to st. Vincent's
Catholic Church of st. Paul; $500 for
masses, to Father Cosgrove, pastor of
the church, and $4,000 in real estate
to the teStator's mother
Undue influence in favor of the
church is alleged by the contestants,
and also an irregularity in the witness
ing of the will.
This last point is practically settled.
1t is said to have arisen from state
ment made by one witness that ne
signed the will before Brannan did.
Afterwards the witness explained that,
not being familiar with the English
language, he had made an erroneous
statement. He had meant that he
signed the will before the other witt
ness signed it.
