Australian Mining Laws

Some interesting facts about the mining laws in Australia are given to the Fairbanks News by J. D. Fields upon request of that paper. Mir. Fields has also worked under the Chinese and Spanish mining laws.
 In Australia, he said, mining license is issued upon application, at a cost of $l per annum, which entities the holder to the following: First, to stake any where on the public domain 250 by 400 feet of ground for mining purposes, and a quarter acre for residence purposes. For relocating abandoned mining ground he may take 800 by l 500.
 Any person discovering diggings which will keep 100 men at work continuously for four years is entitled to bonus of s25 ,0O0 to be paid by the government. No discovery of mineral is necessary; but while a miner is prospecting piece of ground he must fly white flag to SlNc llotlCc ol HIS llttitlolS. II lS carrying on actual mining operations Con paw he must fly d red flag.
 After stalking the 250 by 100 feet al- lowed him under his license, he can then take up any number of acres that he sees fit, providing he pays q per year for each and every acre he so takes up into the treasury of the government, and providing further that he employs one man at the going wages of the district for each acre during the mining season.
 There is no jumping of ground in Australia. Whenever the locator leaves the ground it is considered as abandoned. For each mining district is appointed warden who holds court every morning, and from whom there is no appeal. His duty is to settle all disputes and grant permission, when proper cause is shown, to lease the ground in possession of any one. This permit must be spread upon the records before it becomes effective.

HORRORS OF WAR

MoIisttT IlcTolSIl, naS gwen seTleS ol pictures of the late contest, vividly, in tensely, almost revoltingly realistic. Were it not for the glamour of Japanese heroism (magnifcent in the true sense of that word, not monstrous), one would turn away from the pictures sickened with horror. But that heroism glorifies the pictures, and somehow leaves one with the feeling, deep-seated in the Japanese, that there are things worth dying for.
 There is scarcely any choice among the pictures as to the graphic power with which they are presented, though the drawing is often rugged, unfinished, sometimes uncouth. For example, it is hardly less interesting to read of the childish games of the Japanese soldiers when in camp and of their music, chosen to soothe and quiet rather than to in- spirit and set the pulse pounding 'children's games, to the chamber mu sic of women," for men who in few hours will be running to embrace death than it is to read of Nogi's pet, who, desperately wounded and lying in po- sition exposed to the enemys fire, slit vein in his arm to slake his thirst. The reader again is just as much absorbed in the way the little brown men changed their linen before going into battle, that they might die clean and thereby find a place among the Shinto shades, as he is to know that the Russians, from their forts, picked off the Japanese wounded, ''that their bodies might rot and drive their comrades from below" Yet, if there is one story that stands out as an example of grim herosm in the face of death and suffering, it is that of a Jap shot by the Russians, in this picking-off process, after his legs had been crushed by shell fragment. His second wound was received while he was reaching for d bottle of water, thrown from a Japa nese trench because the soldiers in the trench dared not expose themselves to the Russian fire from above. After re- ceiving his second wound the soldier lay still until night covered his movements. Then he began to crawl, as he thought, toward his friends. He fell into trench, deserted except for two comrades, also desperately wounded. He shared his bottle of water with them and then
 As they were drinking figure siouched along the trench and blocked the door way. It wore black -visored cap, shiny with celluloid-a Russian cap. Search ing the gloom, the Russian found the three wounded soldiers. Then he poked his rifle in and fired three bullets-one at the brain of each. Two died instant lv. The third-the soldier who had al ready survived as by d miracle-passed into what he thought was the rigor of death. All grew black before his eyes. Never from that moment to this has he seen even a glimmer, nor will he ever see again. The bullet passed across his eyes as he lay side down and shattered the optic nerve.
 For five days the soldier lay in the lugout, unable to move, unable to see, numb from bong suffering. Almost

INJURED BY BEING
THROWN FROM RIG

While driving home along the Seneca
road where it crosses the Green Bay
and Western railroad, Wednesday,
Charles Hill was the victim of an in.
cident that might have turEed out to
be destructive accident, but fort
unately resulted In nothing worse
than few bruises. While going to-
ward the track and before crossing il,
Mr.. Hill met and was talking to a
friend who was coming toward the
city. Neither stopped his horses, and
each turned around to speak to the
other. On this account. neither one
noticed the approaching number one
mail srain on the Green Bay road till
it was almost upon Mr.. Hill.
Before he could get turned in his
buggy in position to handle his team,
the horses, becoming afraid of the
approaching train, wheeled sharply
to the left, throwing Mr.. Hill from
the buggy. BY some lively scrambling,
he escaped being run over by the
train. but was severely bruised by the
fall he received.

FIRST SNOW WEDNESDAY ID Ne

The first snow of the season fell
Wednesday forenoon and later in the
afternoon. From eleven O'Clock TIL
shortly before noon, there was a
slight precipitation of SNOW, but not
enough to make perceptible showing
upon the ground, as it melted as fast
as it fell. Other parts OF the country
in northern Wisconsin suffered losses
to farmers through a heavier fall Of
snow. Ashland had an inch and
a half, and on the iron and copper
range, nearly three inches fell.
The sudden turning colder of the
weather Tuesday night brought the
snow, and on the next night, Wednes-
day the first killing frost of the year
was reported. There have been other
frosts before this time, but they were
not killing frosts, and did little
damage. This Wednesday evening
saw the thermometer fall to 81 degrees
above zero, or one degree below freez-
ing point. Previous to this, the
lowest temperature that had been
registered since summer was 81 de-
gres on September twenty fifth.
A. list OF climatical statistics for the
past week are submitted herewith:

BISHOP RETURNS HOME,

Bishop Swebach has returned to his
home In La Crosse, after a weeks visit
among the members of his diocese in
Wood county and this vicinity. After
his highly successful visit to Grand
Rapids the Bishop went to Sigel,
then to Nekoosa, and finally to Mara
thon city. In each of these places he
examined into the affairs of each
parish, and made a pleasant visit to
the members of each church under
his supervision. On his way back to
La Crosse, he passed through Grand
Rapids again, and was met here by
Father Hugenroth and Father Field
man, OF Nekoosa, and others. The
Bishop said that his visit to this
place was far more satisfactory than
he had expected, and was entirely
complimentary to the parish here
and the city itself. He said," must
say that was surprised at your city;
my previous visits gave me no time to
look over the town, and had no idea
you were such a fne city. 1 was
highly pleased with my visit to Grand
Rapids and hope to enjoy many
another such a visit. What most
|fay0rably impressed me was the size
and apparently flourishing condition
Of the place.. When the Bishop was
in Marathon CITY he blessed a 420 OOO
school building recently constructed
there. The services OF blessing this
building were the occasion of his visit
to that city.

HAVE LETTERS ADDRESSED
TO STREET AND NUMBER

While e. f. Frasier, the post Office
inspector was here, the past week he
urged the Importance and necessity
for the people of Grand Rapids to
have all their correspondence and
mail addressed to their street and
number as we'll as their name, so as to
.amiliarize the employees in the post
Office with the names and hunters in
each free delivery district. White
here he laid out the city into four free
delivery districts, and left map
showing the course over each district
at the post Office. 1t will facilitate
matters great deal il every one will
now see to it that their street and
number is put upon their stationary,
and ask their correspondents to so
address their mail.
This is small matter, yet it is
most important to the carriers who
will have to deliver this mail. He
also urged that persons who desired to
have their mail delivered, should
provide suitable boxes or receptacleS
at their home, for their mail, and
will also protect it, when delivered,
from storm, etc. Each person can
select, make, or purchase any such
box as they see lit for this purpose.
There will be 20 one authorized by
the department as its agent for the
sale of these boxes. any more than
they have for the house numbers. We
call attention to this for the reason
that if anyone comes to your home
representing himself an agent Of the
department.. the reader Of this article
will know his statement to be untrue,
for no one will be thus authorized.
Please bear these facts in mind and
govern yourself accordingly. Free
delivery will be installed. as we have
said before, about January first Of the
new year.

NEW SHREDDERS
MUST BE PROTECTED

The State Legislature passed law
at the last session which provides that
all shredders shall be equipped with
safety device to prevent accident in
the swapping rolls. In the machines
put on the market this year the manu-
facturers are apparently making an
honest attempt to comply with this
law, but the machines in the field
which Occasioned II accidents In 1904
are no doubt still in use and are as
likely to catch victims this year as
last. Since shredders and huskers
will continue to be used, the only safe
guard is to keep away from both the
husking and swapping rolls. and il the
rolls need attention to use stick or
club and not the hands or fingers in
attempting to remedy the difficulty.

KILLED WHILE
PERFORMING HIS DUTY
Roundhouse Man 1t Babcock
Rum Over by Train and Death
Ensued.

>0OOOOs
While in the performance of his
duty as wiper in the roundhouse at
BabcOck, John Cooling Of that village
was run over by freight train, and
both legs we're cut OF at the knee, from
-~hich injury death resulted within a
couple hours. He was married man
and had a wife and several children.
The cause of the accident appears to
be that he slipped while attempting
to get out ef the way OF train, fell
between the wheels, and was run
over before he was able to extricate
himself SO as to save himself from
injury.
Mr.. Cooling was employed by the
Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
way at Babcock as wiper in the
round house. 1t was q part OF his
duty to cross several tracks each day
to where the passenger train would
come, and perform several duties
about this train. after which he re-
turned to the round house. Tuesday
evening be had done this aud was on
bis way back to the round house when
. part OF freight train which.
happened to be switching in the yards
backed toward him. No one saw the,
accident, and no one knows just how
it happened. From the evidence that
could be gathered after the accident
1t appears, however, that he must
have slipped beneath the wheels Of
this train.
The portion OF a train that was
backing toward him, slowed up as for
a stop just before reaching the spot
where Mr.. Cooling was to cross the
tracks, and he undoubtedly thought it
would stop and vried to cross the
track in front OF It. Instead OF stop
ping, the freight started up again
rapidly, and in trying to get out of It's
way, Mr.. Cooling must have slipped
and fell to- the tracks. Before he
could gather himself up and get out
OF the way, the train was upon him.
The wheels OF one car and one truck
OF another passed over the man before
the train was brought to stop.
When his fellow workmen reached
him. it was discovered that both legs
had been cut of at the knee. He was
taken to a nearby building. aud a
physician ca..ed foi him. The
wounds were attended to by the
as soon as he had been
brought from Grand Rapids by special
train, but to no avail, fer death came
about i've hours after the accident
The funeral was to have
taken place this morning, Friday.

"A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for a child or
for an adult, and il for a child they
almost invariably recommend Cham
herlain's Cough Remedy. The reason
for this is that they know there is no
danger from it and that it always
cures. There is not the least danger
in giving it, and for coughs, colds and
