MINING NEWS.

tbirty-three tons of 75 per cent ,natte that carries a good showing If silver. is he report made by Manager E. Kennedy, who is now in the city.
 Silver Belt: The Star says that tbe Morgan shaft of the twin Butte oroup of mines is being put down to the 200 foot level. It is all in ore on the 100 foot lead. A cross-cut was made 30 feet both north and south of the shaft and a drift 30 feet east and west, all in ore and all of rich value, which in dicates somewhat of the large strike.
 Mohave Miner: This section is all excitement about the second rich strike of Groshen Brothers and partners in Saddle mountain, Pinal county, and eight miles northeast of here. The assays run $54.OO0 per ton, and the strike Is richer than the previous one. This strike was made in the E Cave claim and the former on the Lucky Boy.
 Silver Belt: The NJ n c i Standard states that work recently done with the settling tanks be- low the con; entrator by the Ari- zona Copper Company has demon strated that successful operation of the system is assured. When the 100 gallon q minute pump IS installed the system will be ready for final judgment. The tanks as they stand have capacity for hand ling 300 tons of taiiings.
 Standard: The shaft started a few weeks ago by the Detroit Cop per Company in the Molder coal field is now down about forty feet The vein on which it was started went down at an angle of about 20 degrees for the first l5 feet and then turned straight down. It has since continued that course. The vein has gained in width and quality since starting down. There is now better than eight inches of good coal in the shaft.
 Standard: Work on the Cha SC Creek Copper Company's tunnel Is being pushed rapidly ahead. The tunnel has already cut through two good veins. The work of opening these up will soon begin. The Longfellow vein, it is expected will be cut into any day. This strike will undoubtedly prove a bonanza for the company, as 1t Is more than 75 feet wide, and it is from this vein that the Arizona Copper Company has taken most of the ore from which their large production of copper has been made.
 Republican,: Wickenburg again comes to to front in mining way, this time with what promises to be one of the richest gold strikes ever made in central Arizona. George White came to town yesterday to report rich strike in his Pitts burg group ten miles east of town, bringing with him ore which ex- ceeds in richness anything ever seen in this section. The ore is literally lousy with gold, to use a ume worn expression, and one needs no magnifying glass or as- say certificates to prove it's value,

CANNOT ARREST SHERIFF.
Peculiar State of Affairs Exists in lie
Sueur County.

From thursdays Daily.
Word has been received from LIE Sueur
Center giving further particulars of the
scandal concerning Sheriff Smith, an ac-
count of which was published in last
nights Free Press. The county attor-
ney is reported to have gone before the
governor with the affidavit of Mrs. Liz
zie Kritzer, stating that the sheriff had
criminally assaulted her. The county at
torney asked the governor whether he
could take action looking to the removal
of the sheriff in view of the presentation
made by the affidavit. The governor is
said to have replied that he could not
do so. Neither could he examine into
the accusation as no malfeasance in Of
flee had been charged against the sheriff.
The sheriff was not accused of neglecting
any of his official duties or performing
them improperly. Of course, if the
sheriff should be indicted and convicted
of the crime of which Mrs. Kritzer ac-
cused him, then would be the time for
action looking to his removal
1t is further reported that the sheriff
has not yet been arrested. 1t seems that
there is no one who can arrest him.
Hence a warrant is at present useless.
Under the law, the only man in the coun-
ty who can arrest the sheriff is the
coroner. Coroner o. M. Justice of LIE
Sueur county went to California about
eight months ago. He has lost his resi-
dence in this state. 1t is claimed that
the deputy coroner cannot arrest the
sheriff as this deputy derives his authori-
ty from the coroner himself, and there
fore cannot have any authority that the
coroner himself does not possess.
The board of county commissioners
at the regular meeting next week may
elect new coroner, as the law provides
in case of vacancy in that office.

HOW TO ATTRACT BIRDS.
Normal Graduate Addresses 400
Teachers in Minneapolis.
From Mondays Daily.

cAoin 10Ooabyb O8lly.
Prof. 81. Lang of the Central high
school, Minneapolis, graduate of the
Mankato normal school, last week, deliv-
cred very interesting stereopticon lee
ture on Birds and Bird Homes" before
400 teachers in the Central high school
assembly hail. The main part of the
lecture was devoted to explaining the
various methods of attracting such birds
as the wrens and blue birds around the
schools by means of bird houses. The
most important thing, he said, was to
see that these boxes are protected from
the Tavages af stray cats. He also in
structed them as to how young birds
that had fallen from their nests should
be fed, recommending diet of fresh raw
beef, hard boiled eggs and boiled pota-
toes. The lecture was illustrated with
the fine set of stereopticon plates which
were recently presented to the Minnesota
Audubon society by DIR. Roberts, of
Minneapolis, and some which Prof. LANCE
had prepared himself.
This is subject that the teachers of
the Mankato schools could give some at
tention to with profit. Children should
be taught to love and protect the birds.

MINNIE MUST HUSTLE.

Iege Unless Money Is Raised.
From, Iuesday's Daily

tcoh tuesdays LAZY.
Despite the encouraging reports re-
garding the removal of the Gustavus
Adolphus college from st. Peter to Min
neapolis, those in authority say that
there is practically no chance whatever
for Minneapolis to get the college unless
a cash bonus of $250,0O0 can be shown
to be on hand when the conference of the
Swedish Lutheran church of Minnesota
is held in May G. G.. Schulz, director
of the college and assistant superintend-
ent of public instruction, said today:
"The conference opens May II at st.
Peter, and if Minneapolis wants the col
lege she must be ready to show $3.50, 900
to pay for it. We have building and prop
erty at st. Peter valued at over $780,
600. We have membership of over 300
and Is instructors. At the conference
in 1908 it was claimed that over $780,
600 had been raised, but an investigation
showed that only about $4,000 could be
counted as cash, the rest being vague
promises. I understand that there has
been practically no result from labor

CROP REPORT.
Conditions Along the Minnesota and
Dakota Division.

From Mondays Daily.
The crop report for the Minnesota and
Dakota divisions of the Northwestern
road for the last week has just been is
sued 1t contains much of interest and is
as follows:
The snow in South Dakota has now
disappeared and farming has again been
resumed generally.
In the south half of South Dakota
wheat seeding has been we'll advanced
and will be practically concluded this
week. In the north half of South Da-
kota and western Minnesota there has
only been about one weeks work COM
pleted and in eastern Minnesota have
just commenced seeding on very high
ground.
The late snow will be decidedly bene-
fetal to crops. The ground was not
frozen for a depth of about one foot
and the snow melted quickly without
winds to absorb the moisture and it
penetrated the ground and is now added
to the reserve moisture, and so far as
moisture is concerned the ground is in
excellent condition.
Winter Wheat: l902-Acres $4,000
600, condition 97.3, April Is visible sup
ply 4O,l64,OOO bushels. l903-Acres
100000, condition 76.5 April ID, visi-
bic supply 3l,lsl,OOO bushels.
In 1904 there is less acreage of win
ter wheat, condition more than TWEEN
ty points less, with nearly 25 per cent
less visible supply. The effect of above
at this time is that high prices will be
maintained, and with an increased acre
age in the northwest of spring wheat
means prosperity for such northwest
crop is matured.
In general much depends on future
weather conditions. 1t is not a late
season if the crop can be seeded in April.
1t is May, June and July that determines
the crop, and there is time to seed. If
we have ten days more favorable wea-
Their this month small grain except bar
lev in the eastern half of Minnesota will
be completed. All combined conditions
| are decidedly favorable at present.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Bullet Passes Through Officer vogeI's
Hand and Grazes Officer R0bb.
From Tuesday's Daily

FROM tuesdays Daily.
Officer Vogel got shot through his left
hand early this morning, and Officer
Robb had a narrow escape from be-
ing shot in the arm or body. The affair
happened at about 2:30 o'clock, in Men
ton & Smiths restaurant. Officer Robb
went into the restaurant to get lunch
and was dickering with Mr.. Smith, one
of the proprietors, to trade revolvers.
Mr.. Smith has one that Mr.. Robb long
wanted to possess, as it is a self-cock-
ing Smith & Wesson, and they had talk
ed about trading.
The two men were examining each
others weapons, when Officer Vogel
walked in and sat down at the counter
three seats away from Officer Robb.
Picking up Officer Robb's revolver from
the counter, he broke the weapon, to
extract the cartridges, as he did so the
muzzle resting in the palm of his left
hand. The firing pin was down and
scratched across the cap on one of the
cartridges, exploding it. The thirty
eight calibre ball passed through the of
ficer's hand, grazing one of the bones
and coming out near the wrist. 1t
then passed SO close to Officer Robb's
elbow that it ripped the seam in his over
coat for a couple of inches. 1t struck
the counter and glanced up and struck
the wall about eight feet above the
floor. Its force was spent by this time
and it fell back to the floor. Chief
Donahue now has it in his possession.
The accident is painful one for OF
fcer Vogel, but it is fortunate that ii
was not verse.

-FEAIs OF STRENGTH.
Wonderful Exhibition at Mankato
Theatre, tuesday, April rs.
From Thursday's Daily.

ASAAA ~ANACNAy
Feats of great strength will constitute
part of the entertainment at the theatre
to be given next Tuesday evening, Apr
26, by Prof. AL Powers, the champion
wrestler of Montana, and Prof. Floyd l.
Willard, ""the strong man of Albert Lea, .
the main feature of the evening being a
wrestling match between the two ath-
letes.
Among the feats, the following are the
most prominent: Bending sixty penny
spikes into staples with the hands !;
bending steel carriage bolts with the
hands; breaking No. plate steel horse
shoes with the hands; driving spikes
through two inch plank with the hands;
bending iron rod in teeth; bending one
inch iron rod in teeth; carrying man in
chair by teeth; carrying table in teeth;
lifting heavy dumb bells; bending one
half inch rod by striking across wrist;
feats in chest expansion; lifting men
Dodlly; nftHg barrel OF water with one
finger; and the human bridge.
This last named feat, the human
bridge, is the most marvellous perform
ance of strength in existence. The act
consists of supporting the combined
weight of twelve or fifteen full grown
men by forming bridge under a plat
form and supporting the aggregate
weight of the men on the chest and
body. The weight supported will be over
one ton. This alone is worth the price
of admission.
The professors insist that they do all
they say they do and do it legitimately
They offer 500 to any person equalling
either of them in hodilv stren0th
