Late Opening of Navigation.

1T will be May 10 or Is this year be-
fore we'll see any boats clearing out of
the Duluth Superior harbor," is the
opinion given by John Coventry of the
A. Booth Packing company. "Shippine
has opened the last four or five years
about April l, but 1904 will be an ex-
ception, and it will carry US back to tho
times previous to about five years ago.
when navigation never opened before
May Is.
"Once the boats begin running, how.
ever. We will have a very busy season,
Stocks will be low and in order to re-
plenish them shipments viii, be unusu-
ally large.
'The boat companies. both passenger
and freight, will have all they can do
throughout the season. We shall get
our line IN operation just az soon as
navigation opens and We expect to
make heavy shipments from the start"

ZINC MINE OPENED.
Duluth len Interested In Venture
Near Port Arthur.

Duluth rlen Interested In Venture
Near Port Arthur.
After working quietly for the past two
years on q proposition that promised
good thing in the way OF developing
into q lead mine, several we'll known
men of Duluth and Superior have
opened what promises to be largo pro-
ducing zinc mine IN the township of
Dorian, Thunder bay district, Ontario
Can, about forty: five miles east from
Port Arthur, near the line of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway company and about
9 mile from good harbor facilities in
Black bay. on Lake Superior.
Beside the big deposit of lead and zinc
claimed for the mine, it Is said to carry
enough gold and silver to pay for the
handling or refining of the other pro-
ducts.
The mine has history mixed up with
the efforts of other Duluth men in
earlier years. In the early 90s Roger
Munger and Clinton Markell, of Duluth,
worked the property and uncovered a
valuable body of ore. In 1901 they exc
cuted an option and q lease to J. B.
Arnold, of Superior, who is member of
the present company in control.
A syndicate of head of tho lakes mon
to the number of twenty-one was formed
and development work has been pro-
crossing through funds levied as per-
sonal assessment on the mon interested.
The vain is said to be one and one
fourth miles long, rising to a point 200
feet above the level OF Lake Superior.
Assays taken ara said to have shown
an average of 8 per cent lead for sixteen
feet between the zinc vein. while other
assays by the same expert show 49, 70 zinc
10 7.foot, being in the bottom OF an
80-foot shaft.
The company claims to have 2,467. 900
tons OF pure lead and zinc in sight, val
ued at $50 per ton. 1t intends to build
a plant with an output capacity of 100
tons per day.

RULE MAY BE CHANGED.
Congressman Bede's Bit Provldin,
for Appeal In Swamp Land Cases.

Congressman Bede's Bill Providing
for Appeal In Swamp Land Cases.
A Washington special to the News
Tribune says that arrangements are be-
ing made for a hearing on the bill pre-
sented by Congressman Bede, providing
for change in the rule of conducting
land contest cases before registers and
receivers, in cases where the general
land Office has accepted field notes of
government surveyors and cancelled q
great many entries, in alleged swamp
land districts.
Rank Injustice is done by the new
rule In cases where entries have been
made on lands that are not actually
swamp but have been turned down be-
cause the field notes show that they are
such. If they are swamp then the state
Of Minnesota claims the title.
Under the Old rules land noted as
swamp and placed on the plat as such
in the name of the state could be re-
claimed by contestant showing from
tho evidence Of at least two Witnesses
that the major portion of the smallest
legal subdivision OF the land is other
than swamp.
The present rule, however. IL that the
notes of the surveyor together with the
plat made up from his report are con-
elusive evidence of the character of the
land and If the field notes show it to be
swamp no contest can be instituted.
It is claimed that considerable land to
which the state is not entitled under the
swamp grant is held under the rule OF
accepting the field notes and the new
rule bars the prospective entryman fro,n
contesting the states right to the land.
1t is alleged that surveyors have been
known to turn in field notes showing
land to be swamp when in reality it was
suitable for entry. Much of the swamp
land has been leased by the state to
mining companies or granted to rail-
roads.
There is opportunity here for fraudu-
lent dealing by prospective lessees &C.
curing field notes showing land to be
swamp that is moro valuable for other
purposes, thereby dlverting the reve-
nues that should accrue to the govern
ment from homestead and timber and
entries.
