all indictments given out and pre-.
sented same to The Court: The
Committees from the Grand Jury
appointed at the March Term OF
Court for this year have done so
much of the work for which they
were appointed as possible, and
their reports are herein presented
and made part of this report.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE on CHAIN
GANG, ROADS ANr BRIDGES.
We find the Chain Gang divided
in two squads. One aquad in charge
ofsMr. ]. l.. Corley, working the
cow IS hired from the State, six
in:number. This squad has also 8
mules, and operates one road scrape
and one road plow. This division
couid do more effective work in
onr. Judgment and keep its work
aud machinery going to better adj
vantage, if it had a few more con-
victs. The expense for guards and
oyarseers would be no more. Squad
number 2 is in charge of Mr.. G. p.
Sawyer, and works the county con-
victs, at present six in number.
This squad also works road scrape
and plow and eleven mules. We
think that the number of mules
used by the county is sufficient
with the present number of con-
yiots. and recommend that no more
mules be bought unless the number
otconvicts should be increased for
q term that would warrant, the in-
vestment.
we flnd that these two squads
have been doing good work On the
roads, and that most of the roads
have been put in good condition.
Incur judgment, these squads are
doing as much work as could be
expected, and while not all roads
are what the people demand, still
we4hink that our people have little
cause for complaint.
1--WE do think that too many new
roads are being opened as public
roads. We do not refer to open
ilg new roads around hills that are
too steep for practical travel, but
to:new roads which are opened for
tie imaginary convenience of just
at;few people where there are al.
ready public roads which would
serve all the purposes Of the com.
mnunity. Is or 20 miles of old road
can be worked while one mile OF
1sw road is being opened. We al.
ready have enough miles of road
open for our population and prop.
erty values. This matter we direct
to the County Board Of Commits.
siOners.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC
BUILDINGS.
We fnd that the repairs have
been made on the roofs Of the Jail
and Court House, but that there
are still three windows in the jail
which need repairing. They are in
such condition that prisoners could
escape easily through them..
Fin regard to any repairs which
may be needed at the Poor House,
We are not decided whether new
houses should be built or the old
ones be repaired. This should he
!. decided after examination of the
buildings by a competent mechan-
ie. We, however, make the recon-
mendation !nat whatever work
may be done on the buildings at
the Poor House, be done with lum.

What sort Of civilization are we

Supreme Court, in it's famous de-

Unconstitutional: "That liquor, in

as corn, wheat, cotton, tobacco, po-

 The opening of this weeks market and as was stated Saturday night, higher pyices are prevailing. All through the stocks are strong with plenty of bidders. and consequently more buyers than sellers. The market looks good for higher prices before the close of the week.
 Calumet & Arizona is not to be had under $120, with bids of SIS falling to bring out any. Calumet & Pitts burg holds at s3s.50 bid, with good demand at that price. Lake Superior & Pittsburg reached $49.50 bid, and any offered at that price on the east ern market is rapidly picked up. Pittsburg & Duluth holds at $2s, with sales at that price. Junction is in good demand at $31.50. and none to be had under $32. North Butte reached sS4. but at the close dropped back to SS1.25. Denn made an advance of s3, and at $25 bid there is no stock to be found on the market It looks as if Denn would reach $30 before the close of the week. American took on an advance at $19.50, with none to be had under s20. At the close tonight there is no Warren to be had. there being none offered at the prices bid. Black Mountain reached S15 bid, with S1e asked. Wolverine & Arizona made gain of s1.00, closing strong at s6.75 bid, with very little offered at s7.00. Greene Con. also made an advance, closing at S29.25. Money closed at S14 per cent.

county, while some of the previously despised stratified beds of Houghton county became steady producers, at a small profit in several cases. It was evident that the stratified beds. be- cause of their enormous length and depth afforded more promising and permanent mines than could be given by any Assure, no matter how rich, and in the early sixties the tide set from Keweenaw and Ontonagon coun- ties toward the central county of Houghton. This tide flowed steadily for many years, until in the middle nineties the last mines of both Kewee- naw and Ontonagon counties gave up the ghost, and where thousands of men had toiied for two score years, naught remained but abandoned mine buildings and mouldering villages Ten years ago it was believed by all except few enthusiasts, and few old-timers who continued to hope against hope, that both Ontonagon and Keweenaw counties were doomed. as copper min ing fields. plsjS The tide turned again in 1SS7-al- ] most imperceptibly at first, but unmis- takably within the next two years. Houghton county has continued to make marvellous progress, and has doubled the number of miners employ ed during the past eight years, but Ontonagon and Keweenaw have made even greater advances relatively, be- cause the forces of each have grown from zero. Ontonagon county now has one mine established on a perma- nently profitable basis. with other promising properties undergoing de velopment, while this present week the first Keweenaw county mine to pay a dividend since 1891 has an- nounced its first disbursement of prof i its. The dividend announcement of the Mohawk is important, not only as marking the re-entrance of Keweenaw county to the ranks of the profitable | and diyidend-paying copper fields of the country, after an absence of fif- teen years, but even more important because the Mohawk is the first Ke- weenaw county mine to pay a divi- dend from working a stratified bed and more than ninety per cent of a to-. | tai dividends of the Lake Superior copper mines have come from strait fled beds. The Cliff, Central, Copper Falls and Phoenix have paid dividends in the past, in Keweenaw county, bat ] all have worked Assure veins, and all are now idle and apparently worked out
 In addition to the Mohawk, which will pay its first dividend next month, 1 there are two other Keweenaw coun- ty mines that are certain to pay divi- dends, only the date of the first pay ments being asmatter for speculation. These mines are the Allouez and An meek. With the Calumet & Hecla vigorosuly exploiting it's Keweenaw county lands. and similar work to be performed by the Keweenaw Copper Co, the position of that field is most promising, and the word ''Keweenaw, D which for years has been variously translated as danger" or mo thor oughfare," will bear a new and more attractive interpretation to mining men and investors for the future.

ant producers as the Calumet & Hec- la, Greene Consolidated and Copper Range, all will fall short of the hun dred million mark.
 The importance which attaches to tne advent of such powerful interests into the Lake Superior copper field is too apparent to require comment. The BeSolute will be added to the Kewee- law Copper Company's holdings, in all likelihood, making that corporation the largest single owner of mineral lands in the Lake Superior copper dis U1ct always excepting St. Mary's Mineral Land Co. The present situ- ation and prospects of Keweenav county, compared with it's past history. afford food for thought.
 In the earliest days of copper min. ing in the Lake Superior district, six. 1y years ago, prospectors scattered along a territory of nearly one hun dred and fifty miles in length. The hrst successful mines. the Chief and Hinnesota, were opened on Assure and contact veins. hence in a few years it was taken almost for granted that the strauhed beds, while carrying copper, would not pay for working, with rare exceptions. As the greatest number sf mineralized Assures exist in Kewee- 1sw county. that was the most active teld of work in the early years of the Lake district. Houghton county. ly. ing between Keweenaw and Ontona- gon. was much neglected. After if teen years of work it became apparent laat there were comparatively few payable Bssure veins in Keveenav
