EDITOR NEWS:
Would like to know if you know any
thing about mining man in Ely by
the name of James Arthur and what
kind of standing he has in that sec
ton of the country.
He is at present promoting mining
deal here in the East which has caught
the attention of several friends Of mine
and knowing that you lived in bly,
thought OH might possibly know the
man in question so that | could get
line on him as to whether he is the
right kind of business man to put
forth good reliable proposition as so
many of these promoters will sell most
anything. | will enclose his ad and you
can see if you know anything about it.
A representative of the NEH,s wa.
detailed this morning to hurt up Ar
thur if possible and ascer. cain what
property he had reference to or wha
he was trying to do. The reporter wa,
unable to locate Mr.. Arthur and SO fal
as his investigation went he could find
no onae whcc did did issnsGw s.s3w MIN. The repor
ter inquired at the postoffice if Arthur
got any mail there. He was Informed
that no man by the name of Arthur
inquired for mail at the office. The ac
ting postmaster was then asked if there
was any mail coming to this office fol
Mr.. Arthur He replied that we hat

IS PART OF EGAN RANGE.

- Ihkl Of EJAN hANbE.
The bulletin says that the Robinson
mining district, with the geology with
which the professor deals, is but linn
tied portion Of the Egan range. 1t lies
in d pass through the range few
miles southwest of the town of Ely.
The district comprises belt varying a
little from mile in width and having
a length of about six miles. This belt
has an east and west trend and thus
lies transverse to the general course Of
the range. The naturalization OF the
district which gives it its economic i'm
portance is intimately and genetically
connected with an irregular intrusion
of .'porphyry," cutting Carboniferous
rocks and occupying the center Of the
belt Ore deposits are found both in
this porphyry mass and in the sedi-
mentary rocks which border it.
In the limestones on the northern
flank of the porphyry zone, particularly
toward its eastern end, are limited
bodies of lead ores carrying some sll-
ver and on the southern flank, also at
the eastern end of the belt, occur gold
ores in lodges in the sedimentary rocks.
The silver-lead ores have not as yet
been found in sufficiently large bodies
to warrant permanent mining opera
tions. although considerable prospect
ing has been done and some ore has
been shipped. The gold ores at the
Chairman and Saxon mines have at
tracted the attention of capital sufl1-
cient for the erection of extensive and
costly plants for their reduction, but
the attempt to win the gold has been
apparently unsuccessful and both plants
are idle. The chief interest in the dis
trict now ccntcrs in the copper deposits
which give much promise OF beng
mined on a large scale in the near fut-
ure. The chief localities in the district
where these ores have been developed
bv mining operations on large scale
are at the Ruth mine, in the eastern
rart of the belt, at Copper Flat in the

EFFORT Is ABANDONED.
Shot While Trying to Serve
Legal Papers.

Ladysmith, Wis, July 26.-James
Harrington, who cared for the dams or
the Mississippi Logging Co, on the
Thornapple river, arrived here To-Day
from the Cameron dam and reports
that an encounter took place yesterday
between John F. Dietz and family ana
six miliatiamen said to be from MIL
waukee. The militiamen were accom-
panied by Sheriff Gyland. The shoot
ing is the elimination of an attempt 10
serve legal papers on Dietz.
One militiaman was shot three times
and Clarence Dietz, a son of John
Dietz, was shot in the head. The re-
covery of the malitiaman is doubtful.
Harrington says that the women OF
the Dietz household took part in the
shooting. Dietz for a long time has
held possession of Thornapple dam,
preventing the driving of several mil
lion feet of logs belonging to the Chip
pewa Lumber Co.
The company has for some time been
endeavoring to have Dietz served with
papers compelling him to show cause
why the company should not be al
lowed to drive the logs. 1t is not
known whether yesterdays attempt
to serve the papers succeeded or not.
The effort to capture Dietz has been
abandoned for the present.

ENDS IN FIGHT.
Among Crippies As to Which
Is Most Unfortunate.

Ithaca, July Pa discussion among
four cripples as to which was the most
unfortunate ended in a bloody fight in
st. Johns Hotel here yesterday. Abram
Spicar, who has one shrunken leg, en-
tered the hotel with cripple who had
lost both legs. Within they found a
one-armed man talking with John Diff
fin. the proprietor, whose left arm was
amputated at the elbow.
The one-armed guest started a discus
sion by saying that he was the most I'M
fortunate man of the lot, and Spicer put
forward the claims of his companion. In
the course of the argument one of the
cripples drew a pistol, but before he
could fire there was a general mix up,
in which Spicer received several long
scalp wounds.
Spicer had sworn out a warrant for
Diffin, who. he says. hit him with his
own cane. charging assault in the third
degree. The other two cripples have dis
appeared.

"A
TOothsOne
Flavor"

True for you. there's treat in the
crisp. nutty. delicate, sweet taste of
Grape-Nuts served with thick rich
cream.
Don't spoil the food by trying to
cook it. That work is done perfectly at
the factories.)
The cream should soften 1t a bit. but
not enough to excuse the eater from at
least a few good earnest "chews," for
old Dame Nature sends rich blessing to
the long chewer. OF course the one
with weak teeth can soften the food
with milk down to a mush if necessary,
but the good old Dame doesn't smile
quite so cheerfully on them.
You know children and adults must
use the teeth and grind freely to make
them grow strong and to preserve them.
Then the act of chewing brings down
the much needed saliva from the gums.
and that helps amazingly in the diges-
ton of foods of various kinds.
The saliva is not so much required
with Grape-Nuts, for this food Is pre-
digested. that is, the starch turned into
form of sugar in the process OF max
ing. and that helps give it the fascin-
ating flavor.
Grape-Nuts people are healthy and
enjoy good things. There's reason.

CRUSHED IN TANK.
Mystery Of Boy Who Disappeared
Three Years Ago Cleared Up.

Newburg. N. Y. July 26.-After
mourning for over three years for her
son Charles. who she had thought had
been kidnapped. Mrs. Sarah Flanagan
of Fishkill Landing today identified
parts of the clothing of a skeleton Of a
3-vear-old boy. which had been found
at the bottom of a gas tank well last
night. Employees of the local gas plant
were working at one of three retorts
when an iron fitting dropped from the
top Of the tank to the bottom of the
we'll. When graphing for the fitting
they pulled up child's overcoat and
further investigation revealed the rem
nents of the body of the Flanagan hoy.
The child had evidently fallen from
the top of the brick wall when the tank
was high and the body was crushed by
the heavy weight when the tank was
lowered.

INHERITANCE TAX
Subject Of Discussion Before Massa-
chusetts Committee.

Boston, July 26-The inheritance tax
was the subject of hearing at the State
house today before the special committee
on the taxation laws of the common
wealth. Representatives Charles a. Dean
of Wakefield was heard DIN favor of the
bill. which he introduced at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature. He said that
great estates would never be accumulat
ed except through the civilization of the
country. The only excuse for refusing to
recognize partnership between the state
an the man of great wealth is that the
public gets its share of the estate in the
form of requests to charity, said Mr..
Dean. lie called attention to the will of
Russell Sage. who left an estate of $780,
100000 of which not one cent, he said.
was left to charity MIR. Dean protested
that this was not natural or right He
said the estate would yield perhaps 5000 =
600 to the state of New York in taxes,
while a like fortune in England would
yield about 100000 to the government
Representative Luce of SomerviIle also
spoke in favor of direct taxation of in
heritances.

Doctors say blood poison from the knife

New Code Of Legal Pro-
ceedings in China.
Commissioners Submit Plan to
Emperor and Oowager.
SureDsI)d That Westtn Method Of Practice
b Adopted. 10 Educate Lawyers.

Washington, July 26.-Marked evil
dence OF the reform which Is sweep
ing China can be seen in recommen-
dalton Of commissioners named by the
government to revise the code govern
ing Chinese legal procedure which was
recently submitted to the Empress
Dowaaer and Emperor for their consid-
Grafton.
Two revolutionary changes in the
legal procedure of China are suggested.
Those are the right of trial by jury
and the employment of attorneys for
the defence of criminals. Never i'll
the history of China has the practice
OF law been recognized as a reputable
profession. The study of law has been
frowned upon from time immemorlal
and only recently have attorneys been
permitted to argue cases in courts and
this permission has been limited TO
courts in coast cities where foreign
ers reside Heretofore class of scribes
versed In legal phraseology has been
authorized to draw UP petitions and
other legal documents but these men
have not been lawyers in the broader
sense.
From the report Of the commissioners
which has just been submitted to the
state department 1t may be seen that
Japan's action in bringing it's legal pro-
cedure into harmony with the European
court methods has induced the Chinese
commissioners to suggest the aboiltiou
az the present antique methods OF that
empire for the methods in vogue among
all Western nations.
As the changes suggested by the
commission, If put into effect would
necessitate the employment OF nun
dreds of lawyers throughout the prov
inces. the commissioners suggest that
henceforth in each of the provincial
schools where men are being trained
in the law 4 definite number of Chin
csc students of good character. serious
minded and well versed in the law,
shall be selected who, after they have
completed their course shall be exam
ined and if found qualified shall be
given diplomas and apportioned among
the provinces to argue cases before the
courts. If such young men cannot be
provided on short notice the commits
sion recommends that each province
shall elect the best qualified Of Its
legal secretaries for this wosk.
The revision of the code accomplish
ed by the commission provides for the
division of all cases into two classes
civil and criminal. The civil class IN
cludes cases having to do with DEBTS
houses, lands, titles and damages
Cases that have to do with repeliloii
counterfciting. murder. robbery ane
.windling are included in the crimlna
class.
