LATE DECISIONS
IN MINING S

Lands not embraced in the applica-
ton for patent for a mining claim, and
in the published and posted notice and
other proceedings, cannot be embraced in
the entry.
THE smallest legal subdivision of the
public surveys provided for by the min
ing laws is a subdivision of ten acres,
in square form; and such avs do not
contemplate that in the location and en-
try of placer mining claims rectangular
tracts of five acres may be recognized
and treated as legal subdivisions

claims located upon the mineral lands of
the United States are entitled to the ex-
elusive and peaceable possession of
their claims so long as they continue to
comply with the requirements of the
law respecting possessory rights. and
are not required to apply for patent at
any time. or ever, in order to preserve
such possessory rights.
Locations upon the mineral lands of
the United States, lawfully possessed
and held under the mining laws at the
date of a townsite entry embracing such
locations, are within the meaning of the
language of section 16 of the act of
March 3, 1891, any valid mining claim
or possession held under existing law,
and cannot be i~njuriously affected by the
allowance of such entry; and the mineral
claimant may, upon proper proceedings
and proofs as in other cases, obtain
patent for his claim Notwithstanding
the townsite entry or the issuance of
patent thereon.
I'm the administration of the public
land laws the land department has no
authority to determine on their behalf
alleged rights of claimants hereunder
except where such claimants seek to OBJ
tain the legal or paramount title to the
lands claimed; and where a
seeks to obtain the legal title to a tract
of public land the inquiry by the land
department is directed to questions af-

convened TO him and not to question re-
lating to possessory or other rights UNI
related to and disconnected with his APP

IRON EXPORT RECORD.
Largest Foreign ConSignments Sent
ont in Februdrg.

- The exports OF iron and steel manufactures
again broke all monthly records in February.
Almost IA 800 tons Of wire. nails and iron pipe
were shipped abroad last month through New
York and other Eastern seaboard points. the
largest consignments ever made 10 foreign coun-
tries in any one month in the history Of the
trade. The shipments Of steel rails and bilets
were exceptionally heavy aggregating a shade
under $4,000 tons In addition TO these huge
shipments. big lots went overland to the Pacific
Coast for export 10 the Far East. and consid-
cradle quantities were also sent abroad from
Southern ports
Besides reaching the high water mark. the
February exports were interesting because Of
the fact that the port of New-York handled
more than the combined shipments made
through Philadelphia and Baltimore. These
ports. especially Baltimore, have previously
taken care Of the bulk OF the shipments made TO
foreign countries from the Atlantic Coast. New
York shipped nearly $4,000 tons out Of the $4,000
odd tons exported last month. Another feature
Of the February shipments the large con-
signments which went forward TO South Amer
ica, hitherto a stronghold Of the German and
British iron and steel manufacturers.
Seven thousand eight hundred and ninety
three tons OF wire went abroad last month. To
South America $3.50 tons were sent, 5,ool tons
going TO the Argentine Republic. including one
shipment Of 3 $50 tOns-the largest single con-
signment OF wire that has ever left these shores
To Europe S24 tons were shipped. 535 tons hav-
ing been forwarded 10 the United Kingdom.
Eleven hundred and eighty-nine tons went to
Australia To South Africa 465 tons were export
ed and shipments also were made to China.
japan, India and Cuba. The nail exports
amounted 10 700 tons, of which the United
Kingdom took 1899 tons Four thousand seven
hundred and sixty-nine tons OF iron pipe went
abroad in the same period. To Europe 3,462
tons were sent some shipments going TO out OF
the way places in Bulgaria. Rumania and
Sweden. Consignments were also made to Au-
stralia South Africa. Chill, the Argentine Re
public and the East Indies.
The steel rail exports represented 26,S1S tons.
Fourteen thousand. one hundred and thirty
two tons went 10 the Argentine Republic, while
: 44G tons left for Brazil To Japan 2.90S tons
were sent. Costa Rica, Australia Europe and
South Africa were also buyers

HIS HEAD BLOWN OFF.

Carl Schneider, farmer living in the
town of Halsey, committed suicide a
week ag>, choosing a most effective
method. He previously made an at
tempt to shoot himself, but the gun
would not explode. He then went to
Athens and purchased two sticks of
dynamite, some caps and fuse. Dur
ing the absence of the family he went
out into the woods and seated himself
on log and made preparations for
ending his life. Attaching the caps
and fuse to the dynamite and lighting
the fuse, it is supposed he then grasped
the sticks in his hands and lay down on
them. The family, working in the hay
field, heard the explosion and surmis-
ing that Schneider had taken his life,
hastened to the woods. His headless
body was found at the foot of a hill
over fifty feet from where the dyna-
mite had been exploded There was
no trace of head, hands or the upper
portion of his trunk. only scraps of
flesh and fragments of clothing scat
tered about in the bushes. His heart
and lungs were missing and search
revealed the former organ in a hay
field 800 feet from where the body lay.
The man was fifty-six years of age and
it is thought that an ailment with which
he had been afflicted for some time had
driven him insane.

DEPARTS TUESDAY,.

The Tuesday Musical club gave a
picnic at the Lyon-Smith cottage, on
the banks of the Wisconsin river, south
of the city, last Tuesday afternoon, in
honor of its president, Miss Kathryn
Williamson. Miss Williamson has re-
signed her position in the James Music
Co.'s store and will go to her home in
Oshkosh today. Miss Williamson
has been resident of Wausau for the
past four years, eighteen months were
spent as teacher in our public schools
and the balance of the time she has
been with the James Music Co.
She will be sadly missed from our
young society, for she is very popular
with everybody, but especially will she
be missed from our musical circles.
She is very able pianist and organist.
She has been on nearly every musical
program, OF any Importance, as ac-
companist, for several years and has
done all this so very willingly, that ii
is going to be hard for our people to
come to full realization of the fact
that there are but few like her, and
that the place she has filled during her
life in Wausau. cannot be refilled
Miss Williamson has been the organist
at the Presbyterian church most of the
time during her stay here. 1t is hoped
that she may be induced to return tc
Wausau.
