Special to The journal.
Grand Marais, Mich, June 9.-The
telephone. system. which the United
States life saving service has con-
structed and maintains between Grand
Marais and Vermilion point, forty
eight miles to the east along the shore
of Lake Superior, is being provided
with added improvements.
New long distance transmitters and
receivers Of the latest model are being
installed at all stations west from
Whitefsh point to Grand Marias, add
ing materially to the efficiency Of the
communication, of great Importance in
time of disaster along this stretch Of
treacherous shore, and in addition the
distance between the local station and
means Of submarine cable, doing away
with the present overhead line.
Except for the lack of power boats
for the various stations, the lifesaving
service along the shore at the east end
of Lake Superior is not excelled in
equipment anywhere on the great lakes,
There is need Of power craft, however,
especially SO in case of the Grand
Marias station, the limits Of which ex-
tend to the dangerous Sable. reef, to the
west, where numerous marine mishaps
have occurred the past five years, and
for nine miles to the east, and IN this
respect the service is handicapped.
There are four lifesaving stations
between Grand Marias and Whiteish
point-Deer Park, Two Heart, Crisp
Point station and the Vermilion point
station. The country between Grand
Marais and Whitefsh point is a wilder.

Million to Be Raised on the
Shares Of New Copper
Company.
Special to The Journal.


Calumet, Mich, June 9.-The Han
cock Consolidated Mining company has
been organized with a capitalization Of
$5,00O,OOO, divided into 100000 shares
of $25 pare value each, to acquire and
operate the old Hancock mine and
other important properties adjoining
the cold Reliable Quincy. The new
corporation has issued only 100000
shares, at $40 each, and Of this number
fully three-quarters was taken by the
leading interests. The sale of the
100000 shares provides $1,000,000, one
half of which will remain in the treas
ury for, mining operations; the other
half goes to the landowners in payment
for the properties. .---~E---..
Interested in the new concern are
some Of the strongest factors in the
copper mining industry in this country.
Thomas F. Cole of Duluth, president of
the Oliver Iron Mining company, the
iron-ore end of the Steel corporation;
John D. Ryan of Butte, managing di-
rector Of the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany and its subsidiary concerns; Cap
tain James Hoatson Of Calumet, presi-
dent of the North Butte; Charles
Briggs, president of the Calumet &
Arizona Mining company, and several
others.
The old Hancock discontinued opera
tions in 1884, when the price of copper
went down to 9 cents a pound. The
vein averaged twelve feet in width,
and an old Cornish stamp head was in
use at the mill and treated an average
Of about 225 tons of rock daily.

The opportunities for the foreign

in the careers of David D. Wipf, the

REDS FILE ON MANY {.
QUARTER SECTIONS
Town Of Culbertson, Mont, Does
Not Want So Many of Them
for Neighbors.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The journal.
Havre, Mont, June 9.-Reports to
the Muddy Landseekers and Immigra-
ton association show that 100 quarter
sections have been taken in the vicinity
of Culbertson by the Indians Of Fort
Totten, N. D., under the recent ruling
regarding their treaty with the United
States, which for twenty years was ig-
nored by the authorities, but finally
upheld by the United States supreme
court.
Culbertson does not want these In
dams for neighbors, contending that
by right they belong in North Dakota,
but the decision being otherwise, the
Landseekers and Immigration assooia-
ton has provided a commission that
will endeavor to induce the Indians to
take lands north Of Lake creek and as
far away from the city as they can be
induced to 20.
1t is admitted, however, that nothing
can be done if the Indians insist upon
any location which may please them,
no matter where it may be in the ter
ritory allotted.
This land allotment under treaty is
almost as large as Louisiana, and larger
than either Rhode Island or Delaware,
and the territory is all within Valley
county.

There are also bath and dressing rooms
for the physicians.
Another distinct and interesting fea-
ture about the hospital is the isolated
ward on the fourth floor. There is alb
solutely no connection between this
room and the rest of the hospital. All
the food for the patients who have IN
fictitious diseases will be passed out on

charge Of this section Of the hospital
live in adjoining rooms, take their
meals there and do not go to any other

storerooms, a smoking room for conval,
escent patients and a dining room for

It was no groundswell, no tidal wave
which carried these men to victory.
They had to fight with desperation for
the prestige and the honor which they
now enjoy. True, their majority in the
convention was a large one, but no in
significant part of their vote was cast
by the representatives of counties who
would have been with the other side
had the big county of Minnehaha re-
manned true to Mr.. Kittredge. A change
in very few votes in the fifth ward
of the city of Sioux Falls would have
! given Minnehaha county to the machine
and with it would have gone the band

counties.
Had Mr. .Kittredge returned home at
the psychological moment, or had it
not rained cats and dogs the night that
Congressman Martin spoke in Sioux
Falls. or had the state capitol com
mission been so polite in conducting
the preliminaries for building wing
of the proposed capitol that no
room was given for raising the stone
issue,' Minnehaha county might have
sustained the machine and perpetuated
it's power in the state.

Calgary, Alberta, June "a COM

ish families is the latest excitement
promised in western Canada.
Several weeks ago representatives of
this prospective colony were here and
sought a desirable site for farming
purposes. Application has been made
to Ottawa for two townships, consist
ing of seventy-two square miles of
land. As soon as the preliminaries have
been arranged these Jewish families
will sail from England and start the
commune. Several years ago they went
to South Africa with the same end in

to their plan. Efforts were then begun
to induce them to locate in Canada.

than eight years he has not been once
absent or tardy.
Upon three or four occasions he was
too i'll to walk, but insisting upon at

carriage. His department has been
that Of a studious pupil and a gentle
man in all respects. His scholarship
has been in keeping with his deport-
ment, attendance and punctuality.

sport to interfere with his school work,
and always declined to accompany his
associates at home or abroad in school
periods: He was graduated from the
Marshall high school with honors last
week.

Opportunities were afforded by the plot
of 1.-THE Choir Singer" which opened the
week at the Majestic Theater yesterday,
for any amount of love. humor and pathos.
The rather conventional plot presents the
usual scenic changes from the simplicity
and sincerity OF country life az lived at
Maple Grove. Va. to the glamour OF the
Amsterdam Theater roof garden. New
York, where the oppressed heroine. Alice
Leighton, wins fame and fortune. The
play was written by Carroll Fleming orig
inalIy for Miss Mabel Mckinley, and It at
fords the choir singer excellent opportuni-
ties to display her talents as church and
concert singer and as an emotional actress.
Unlike his father, fine type of southern

gentleman's ward. OF her inheritance. The
production OF the missing will by the little

though a northerner, Is loved by Alice,
brings everything to q happy conclusion. A
pair of colored servants and q pair Of
young lovers add to the comedy.
