FINE WILL BE ENTERED
FORMER ST. CLOUD MAYOR WILL
SUBMIT TO PENALTY.
He Is the OffciafTha Started Lid
Movement BY Having Case
Taken to High Court.

The famous st. Cloud lid case is
now closed incident except for the
imposition of the fine. 1t was in
this case that the supreme court rem
dered the decision which has resulted
in the general application of the
Sunday lid throughout the state, and
is now being held up as club
to enforce the eleven o'clock closing
in the larger cities.
The case came up before Judge
Taylor in the district court at st.
Cloud Monday, the state being repre-
scented at the hearing by Assistant
Attorney General George w. Peterson,
who was the prosecuting attorney in
the case before his appointment to the
attorney generals office and the defen-
dant by Theodore Bruener of st. Cloud.
The case went to the sumpreme court
on a demurrer, which was overruled.
When the case came up in the district
court Monday, j. E. G.. Robinson, the
mayor of St. Cloud at the time OF the
action was brought, confessed judg-
ment of custer and the imposition
of the penalty provided by statute.
The minimum penalty is fine of
800 and the maximum $500, to be
fixed by the court. This ends the liti-
CATION in the case, the state having
prevailed not only in the law but in
the establishment of the facts. Some
time after the institution of the
suit, Mayor Robinson, who has been
elected on a platform opposed to the
strict enforcement of the law, resigned
and ran for and was elected to the
state senate, serving in that body
last winter The litigation, however:
proceed and a Judgment of custer
from the mayoralty office and fine
will now be entered.

Vaccination Recommended BY
the Board of Health.
Three More Victims Develop on
This Side the Creek.
Warnings Issued; After First Of
Year No Quarantine.

Several cases of smallpox have oc-
cured, and North Mankato has one.
Two new cases were reported today
in this city, two children in Carl
Swans family in the Thompson ravine
come down with it. Other cases that
have developed in this city this week
are those of j. S. Kieffe, l,504 North
Broad street, Alfred Temple, sol Norun
Fourth street, and Oscar Peterson.
The case in North Mankato is that
of Duane Stewart, who arrived in the
village monday morning fully broken
out with the disease. Where he con-
tracted it he does not know. Every
body with whom he came in contcat
the past few days has been exposed
but fortunately few if any were ex-
posed in North Mankato.
The board of health of North Man
kato held meeting last evening to
talk the situation over, and decided
to issue the following:
North Mankato-Vaccinati Recon-
mended.
There being one case of smallpox
in North Mankato in addition to the
several cases in Mankato immediate
vaccination is strongly recommended
for every unvaccinated person, and for
those who have not been vaccinated
within at least seven years, especially
as this will be the only protection
against smallpox after New Years
Signed, North Mankato Board of
Health.
No more of Mr.. Murphy's family
have come down, on Center street,
and this is attributed. to the fact that
all were promptly vaccinated as soon
as Mr.. Murphy's case was diagnosed
as Mr.. Murphy's case was diagnosed
as smallpox.

Train Service on That Division Of the
Milwaukee to Be Sized Up BY
Commissioner.

The Martin County Independent pub
fishes letter from William E. Young
of the railroad and warehouse commits
sioners anent the train service on the
Southern Minnesota division of the
Milwaukee road.
St. Paul, Nov. 30.-Editor Martin
County Independent, Fairmont, Mimi,
Dear Sir: Our secretary, Mr.. Clau-
sen, few days ago submitted to me
an editorial printed in The Martin
County Independent under date of
Nov. IL, 1907, relating to the unsat-
isfactory service which the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway COM
pany is giving to the stations along
it's Southern Minnesota division.
The members of the commission
have during the last few months been
very busy in making a personal exami-
nation of the railroads in the northern
part of the state, and therefore it has
been impossible for any of us to make
personal examination of the service
of the Milwaukee road in your part of
the state.
If nothing happens to prevent / will
make trip along the line of the
southern division of the Milwaukee
road and visit the stations along the
line, and will make it point to stop
off at your city and also Albert Lea
among other stations along the road
for the purpose of ascertaining what
should be done to better the service of
this company in your part of the state.
At this time it is impossible for me
to fix date on which / can have an
interview with you at Fairmont, but
I will endeavor to be in your city on
Thursday or Friday of next week.
will try to notify you Monday or
Tuesday of the exact time on which
1 will arrive at your station, and while
am in your city would like to meet
the people who are interested in this
matter. Yours truly, w. E. Young,
commissioner.

BASEBALL FANS INTERESTED
Meeting to Organize An Association
to Be Held This Evening.

The meeting to organize a baseball
association will be held at the Com
mercial club rooms this evening.
The management of the Mankato
Fair association will make tender
of the fair grounds to the new base
ball association. 1t is proposed that
the baseball people put the diamond
and grounds in such condition as will
better promote the playing of games;
also the use of the grand stands; this
proposition to hold good for one year.
The fair association, however, desires
the agreement to be so framed that
games shall not interfere with any
events which they wish to conduct
during the season and while the fair
is on.

HER NAME WAS KATE KILLE
Woman Who Was Murdered on the
Ranch Near Fort.Pierre.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 4.-The name of
the young woman who was murdered
on her claim south of Fort Pierre yes
terday, as shown by her final proof
application, is Katherine S. Kille. Her
skull was crushed, her face not being
injured in any way. The body was
found fully clothed, showing that the
murder was committed soon after her
brother left her early in the morning.
Owen, the man being held for the
crime, has nothing to say in regard to
it and no weapon was found with
which the deed was done, but it is
presumed to have been a club.
The coroner's inquest over the body
is being held at Fort Pierre.
The young lady's former home was
at Luverne and not Mankato, as was
reported yesterday. She may have at
tended the normal at Mankato a few
years ago.
The coroner's jury has brought in
a finding in which they hold that
Katherine Kile came to her death
from pistol shot wound from pistol
in the hands of Aurelius Bowen.
While there is nothing but sus-
picon on which to hold Bowen, he
refuses to discuss the case, on the ad-
vice of his attorneys. No revolver has
been found, but Bowen was arrested
at point seven miles from where
the Crime WAS committed and If he md
the shooting he had plenty of chance
to dispose of the revolver. While that
is lacking, it is claimed that the
state is in possession of other evil
dence which will show strongly against
Bowen at the proper time.

But Few Clearing House Checks
Are Issued Just Now.
Brighter Financial Skies; Bet
ter Feeling Is Extant.
Return to a Cash Basis; That
Is the Demand Made.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Convincing evidence
that the flow of currency into regu-
lar channels is increasing at rapid
rate was furnished when announcement
was made by representatives of the
Clearing House association that not
single dollar in clearing house checks
had been issued to the banks.
This was the first time that a con-
dition of this kind obtained since the
issuance of scrip began. Heretofore
large sums in these checks have been
secured daily by various banks, but
it was declared yesterday that SO much
currency was getting back into circu-
lation that an additional supply was
not necessary. 1t is reported that
the amount now in use will not be
increased to any considerable extent
henceforth, except, possibly, during
pay roll periods.
There is now in circulation 81 ,223,OO0
in these checks. The firm holding the
contract for printing them has deliv-
cred a total of $780, 900 of them
to the Clearing House association, the
balance on hand which has not been
distributed being $l,66s,000.
Checks Are Cancelled.
The process of redeeming the checks
is also progressing speedily. Up to last
evening $4,000 of them had been re-
deemed. Whenever bank has $1,000
or more of them ready for redemption
they are taken to the claring house
and cancelled. A notation of this is
made upon the books and the checks
then put away so that they may be
examined by bank examiner at a
later date. Whenever check is can
eeled three men are called upon to
act as witnesses Checks amounting
to $4,000 were cancelled yesterday.
Another good sign was the fact
that the subtreasury distributed $780,
600. In the past few weeks heavy
demands, amounting into the millions,
have been made upon the subtreasury
by local banks, but yesterday all
seemed to have enough to handle bust
ness readily. The 100000 was paid to
the Hibernian Banking association,
which ordered it long time ago.
A call for the fifth and last ma
tional bank statement of the year will
be issued soon.
Want to Make Reports.
At one time it was thought that
the call would come late in the month.
1t is generally believed, however, that
the reported intention of the comp
troller to issue it within few days
originated in the willingness of the
bankers to make their reports at any
time and their desire to get these
reports off their hands in order to re-
sumo cash payments as soon as posi-
BILE. 1t was feared that should cash
payments be resumed before the issu-
ing of the statement country banks
might seek to increase their reserves
at the expense of Chicago institu-
tions.
Three hundred more answers, all in
favor of a return to cash basis soon,
were received yesterday in reply to the
letter issued by the Clearing House
association asking country bankers for
their views on the subject of getting
back to normal currency payments. At
the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank
$50 sixty day notices for the with
drawal of saving accounts were can
celpd

 Tt will probably be midsummer be- fore these smelter additions arc in stalled, however, and in the meantime our production should range between 100000 and 100000 pounds per month according to the material used.
 The most important development that can be expected in 1907 in cen nection with our properties Is the opening of our sulphide ore bodies and the rich ore in the west country.

 Mining Property Sold.
 According to a mining deed filed in the county recorders office today, the Grayson Mining company, which was organized for the purpose of operating a group of claims in the Apache Pass district, in Cochise county, has been declared a bankrupt in Texas, where the company was organized, and the property, consisting of some nine claims, located in this district, has been sold by the trustee elected by the creditors of the defunct company to the Arizona Gold Mining company. The consideration was $2,50O. A search of the records fails to find any thing regarding the property, with the exception of the record of the fling of the location notices, which are list ed in the deed of the property as being conveyed.

OLD DoMINIoK.

Boston-President c. S. Smith, of the Old Dominion Co, says:
 "A production of 50,000 900 pounds of copper by the Old Dominion Co in 1907 is a probability. Our produc- tion last year amounted to a little in excess of 37,000.Oo0 pounds.
 Of this 37,0G0,Vco pounds about 20,000,000 pounds represented produc- tion from the Old Dominion mines proper. The percentage of our own copper would have been much larger had it not been for the fact that for five months of the year the Old De- minion mines were not working be- cause of fire and flood.
 During December about 75 per cent of our output was Old Dominion production, and this is more normally the production of our own ore.
 We are now installing an addition

COPPER IN SOLOMON GULcH, ALASKA.

Entering the south side of Port Val. deg, near its east, is a stream which flows through Solomon Gulch. In Prince William Sound. Five miles south from the shore of Port Valdez and just east of this stream. but still in the bottom of the valley, a prospect has been worked to some slight extent by Valdez miners. U. s. Grant (Bul- letin No. 2s4, 1906, of U. S. Geological Survey) says that there is exposed a sheared zone of schistose rocks, i'm. pregnated more or less with sulphides of copper and iron. At the time this locality was visited, in July. 1905, pros. pecting had uncovered band of schis. tose and silicified rock, striking about east and west. and dipping steeply to the north. This belt was, as exposed 30 feet in width, and consisted of si- licious schist, flinty slate, quartz, py rite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite Later in the summer an option on this property was taken by persons inter ested in a smelter at Hadley, Prince of Wales Island, and their explorations are reported to have shown a widtn oi about 80 feet for this vein of schIs tose, sulphide-bearing rock. Close b. is mass of altered greensboro, prob ably existing as dyke. The country rock is schistose slate and graywacke of the Valdez series.

The Globe-Arizona Telephone com pany has been incorporated. with a capital stock of s1.00e.000, and the object of the company is to construct a telephone system which will reach all of the mining companies doing ousi- ness in the upper and lower Pinto Creek sections. The incorporators are all representatives of focal mining companies, and at the meeting Of stockholders held this week the fol lowing officers were elected: ]. D. Coplen, president; s. L. Gibson. vice president; l.. R. Scholl. secretary and treasurer. These, with J. c. Britt and W. IT. Mercer, form the board of directors.
 Twelve companies operating In the sections to be tapped have already subscribed to $250 each in stock of the company, and the work of construction of the line will begin as soon as the contract is awarded. The company will have an office in Globe. and q connection will probably be made with the local telephone system.

FINAL.

William c. Windsor has sold his mining claims, consisting of the Gold Crown No. 1, Gold Crown No. 2, Gold en Eagle No. and Golden Eagle No. 2, to the Windsor Mining, Milling & Smelling company of Maine, the con sideration named bein g$100,000. The claims adjoin the ground of the Lake Superior & Arizona company and are full of promise. That they will be- come profitable producers when fully developed Is beyond question.
 At the Superior mine, adjoining the Lake Superior & Arizona in Pinal county, 6 Cananea & Globe property, a 3-compartment shaft is being driven from the bottom of the hill to connect with the shaft at a distance of 520 feet, and which will be used for pump ing out the water. The shaft Is now in very rich ore, recent assays of av- craze samples running SS 1-2 ounces gold, AIS ounces silver and 25 per cent copper. This streak is about 20 inches wide, but the remainder of the shaft is iu iron sulphides which rup about 4 1-2 per cent copper.
 Like in all other Arizona counties the mining industry in Pinal county has made rapid progress during re cent years. The building of the Phoe, nix & Arizona from Phoenix to Flor ence, and thence up the Gila river tc Dudleyville has started work on many mines in the vicinity of Kelvin and Dudleyville. This road Is hauling ore daily from number of mining camps most of it going to the Humboldt smelter in Yavapai county. The Ray mine has its mill at Kelvin, though 1t Is not now in operation. Only deyel. opment work is now being done at the Ray, however, from other mines in the vicinity from four to five cars of ore are shipped daily.
 The Big Lead company in the vicin- ity of the Ray Is building a 50-ton smelter and the Kelvin Reduction company is also building a concentra- tor mill.
 Hon. Thomas Weedin has a working bond on a copper property several miles south of Kelvin where he is working a force ofe thirty men and shipping an average of one carload per day.
