Billings, Mont, June 2a.-The largest delega-
tons of landseekers which have arrived In any
one day since the land office opened came in to-
day, and the registrations numbered 1,O16. This
makes a total Of 1922 for Billings alone, and
four days of the registration period vet re-
main. The total registration, It Is thought,
will reach about 1900. 49,.
The registration figures from Miles City and
Sheridan, Wyo., are surprisingly small, rang
ing only SIX to fourteen a day.
Compare ttvely speaking, registration for Crow
Indian lands has been frost when the rushes
seen at the opening of other Indian reservations
in the west are taken into consideration. In
Billings great crowds we're expected and numer-
GUS persons purchased scores of tents and food
supplies and blankets to supply the wants Of
the throngs that were expected to visit Billings
in their quest of Indian lands. Thus far the
town has not been as crowded at county
fair, and scores of enterprising Bilingsites will
wait to realize on their investments.
The council made preparations to increase the
new revolvers, handouts, clubs. etc. Thus far
one constable would have held the few hundreds
in check. -.G- g5L" .r

brake on the desires Of many to secure lands,
hence the light registration.

old GOLD MINE TO

MICHIGAN WAS A WoRLDBEATER
YEARS AGO.
Will Be Operated Again, Not Alone for
Gold Values, but for the Silica It Is
Known to Contain Latter Promises
to Yield Even Greater Returns Than
the Precious Metal,
Special to The journal.

lshpemtng, Mich, June 25.-The Michigan
gold mine, located in the serpentine rock region
north OF 1shpeming at one time heralded as a
genuine bonanza. from which was taken quartz
opera tors built sixteen foot fence about the
workings to keep people out and, at night locked
the quartz in a vault, is to be operated again
The property win not only be worked for gold,
but for silica, and the latter, ,altho Of the
nature of q by-product, promises to yield even
greater returns than secured from the precious
mineral itself. '.&s7. ls = :,
When the mine was operated quarter of a
century ago. eventually to be closed on account
OF litigation. nothing was known of the value
OF the silica, 1t was generally supposed that
the quartz was Of the sugar variety, and that
1t did not contain silica. However, analyses
made since the property has been taken over
by the present company, composed largely of
lshpem1ng men, show that the quartz on the
dumps runs high in silica. some Of the samples
yielding 81 per cent and others between so and
CO. Silica Of a grade below so per cent is
marketable, and 1t Is expected that that which
will be secured at the Michigan Will sell for
not less than $24 ton. This is exclusive Of
the gold values, which FIRST will be extracted.
There Is broad market for silica, which,
among other, things, enters largely into: the
manufacture iof face powders, Milwaukee con,
Germs alone using 5000 tons annually, and the
Ishpeming men are assured Of demand for all
they can produce. r. - -'--a -
All the machinery is ready for operation This
consists principally Of hosting engine, air com
pressor and battery of boilers. The mill
building Is practically completed.
The mine is in fine, condition and will be in
commission soon, altho there is enough quartz
on the old dumps to keep the tube mill busy
three or four months at least. There are foul
shafts, the deepest of which is 40 feet and
| the main vein upon which they are sunk has
been traced for upwards of a mile. An immense
amount Of free gold-bearing silica quartz Is
available. .

THE CHENoWETH CASE.
Massac husettts Man Is Found Insane
by Board Sitting at Bismarck
Prisoner Was Arrested for Horse
stealing and the Sheriff Is Warned to
Hold Him for Action of District
Court.

Bismarck. N. D., June 25.-The county in
sanity board has ordered Sheriff WEIGH to con-
yey A. p. Chenoweth to Ills home in Worcester
Mass The sheriff has been advised by the
attorney general that he had better await the
order of the district court as Chenoweth Is held
BY the authorities on the charge of horse steal
ing. 49, :
After a two-day hearing the insanity board
decided Chenoweth insane. and the North Da-
kota law provides that when the residence of
non resident persons adjudged insane is known
that the board must send the patient to his
home at the expense Of the state. The great
expense OF the trip and the notoriety the case
has engendered have caused wide comment, and
there are those who intimate that job has been
put up by the friends of Chenoweth to get him
out OF the clutches of the Montana authorities,
who want him on charge of horse-stealing.
Stock Inspector Smith of Montana went home
yesterday, declaring that no matter where they
took Chenoweth, Montana would get him in the
end, as they would never lose sight Of him.
In the Montana case the evidence against
Chenoweth is said to be so strong that convic.
ton is certain, and as much horse and cattle-
rustltng has been going on the last few years,
the, cattlemen's association is determined to
punish the thieves If they can lay hands on
them. The end Of the famous case seems far

Hudson. Wis. June 25-one of the most in
teresting. as we'll as most complicated, cases
that has been tried in st: Croix county for
some time, known as King vs.. the Apple River
Of the circuit court here practically all of last
week. and Is still unsettled. The jury has re-
turned It's verdict. which, however, was so In
definite that the final decision falls upon the
judge q. w. Helms Of Hudson, who will hand
down his findings soon. u.s.. vE l. )
In December, 1904, Frank King of Somerset,
ST. Crodx county, cut down, 3or started to cut
down, pole belonging to the Apple River
OF the company, for. the reason that 1t stood
too near the residence of his mother, Mrs. Julia
King, q widow r.. ~ = -
DE-. W., Bpley OF New Richmond, presi-
dent Of the power company, Immediately swors
out complaint for the arrest of both Frank
King and Mrs, King, believing that as she was
the owner Of the premises she was responsible
for the sons act in cutting down the pole.
Both motherE,and son were taken to New Rich
mond land tried before justice. The case
against Mrs. King was withdrawn, as it was dis
sons Haet, but Frank King was convicted and
held afer trial in the circuit court altho the
matter. was later dropped. = %. --.' =
Mrs. King felt greatly Inundated and angered
on account Of her arrest, asserting that her
health had suffered from the nervous strain
and excitement incident thereto, and on the
advice Of friends and counsel began suit against
the, power company and Mr.. Dpley for damages
prosecution ,...r --es. = E,'.sT =
Mrs, Kings counsel endeavored to prove BY the
testimony Of her physician and others that her
health had been impaired, that she had been
subjected to needless indignities, and that Dr.:
Epley's. conduct toward her had been inspired
by malice. A strong point in favor. of the
plaintiff was the fact that Frank King is a
man long past his majority and was responsible
for his own, acts, a. fact known to DR.. Epley
at the time he had his mother arrested for
what hei had done:';
After an earnest struggle in the jury box,
lasting over fifty hours, the Jurors found that
DR.. Epley, in procuring Mrs. Kings arrest, had
not, been inspired by malice but that he had
acted imprudently, not having made sufficient
Investigations to ascertain the facts as to the
plaintiffs completely in Frank Kings offense in
December, 1904. The jurors further found that
the defendant should not be obliged to pay ex-
emplary damages but that Mrs. King is en-
titled to damages in the BUM Of 81 900 for the
injury and humiliation incident to her arrest.
There were nine points or questions referred
to the fury for consideration, and because of the
rather contradictory answers returned the whole
case will have to: be argued over again by the
counsel before the court. -

FOR CHECK ON SUICIDES
uggist Would Require Prescriptions
for Carbolic Acid.

Believing that the st. Paul ordinance
ohibiting the sale Of carbolic acid
thout a physicians prescription has
creased the average number Of sui
les, G. T. Hitler is preparing a bill
r presentation to the next state legis-
ure which embodies the features Of

ntion. at Tonka Bay, Lake Mime

oval of the association. =
According to Investigations made by
:. Hitler, only one death year has
en- traced to the sale of carbolic
d since the ordinance went into ef-
It. while formerly the death rate
IN carbolic acid has run as high as
rteen in one year. This fact is ex-
lined on the theory that the ma
