the survey of Belmont township made
by E. H. Antwerp of Yankton in June,
1907. e. p. Wanzer of Armour and c..
II. Dillon of Yankton represented the
plaintiffs, while c. j.. Kahn of Armour
and french & Orvis of Yankton rep
resented the defendants. The case was
vigorously contested on both sides, re-
sulting in a clear cut victory for the
plaintiffs. The caSe turned on the
question as to whether certain old
mounds testified to by the defendants
witnesses We're original corners or not.
The plaintiffs GAINED that they were
not n that there was no section or
quarter section corners in the interior
Of the entire township.
Old Mounds Misleading.
There was no dispute but what the
survey made by Mr.. Van Antwerp was
lnteriorly correct in case the old
mounds claimed by the defendants
were not original government corners.
The lines as indicated by these old
mounds were crooked lines and in this
particular case leaves the plaintiffs
from 80 to 40 acres short on their half
section Of land while the straight lines
contended for by the plaintiffs gives
each man in the township his land as
called for in the government patent.
The case has been long and bitterly
fought between the rival parties and
feeling runs high in the township. The
defendants state they will appeal the
ease to the supreme court. This part
pf the state was surveyed AZ years ago
and a witness for the plaintiffs, Mr..

OLD DOMINION AND

Will Soon Be Independent Of
 All Outside Sources.
(Boston News Bureau)

Boston-The Old Dominion Co. is fast getting to the point where it will be independent of any outside mines for sulphur for its smelling operations, a result very necessary for lower copper costs
 Tae United Globe and Continental mines of the old Dominion Co. are steadily increasing their sulphur sup ply, and the 16th level development in the Old Dominion mine proper is extremely important, as the ere so far obtained on this eve has demon strated that with depth the sulphur contents of the ore increases. The ore now coming out of the 16th level is running 30%o sulphur, which Is the highest percentage of sulphur ever found in any ores that have come from the Old Dominion mine.
 News of great encouragement just received by ths Boston office of the Old Dominion Co. is the recent eis- covery in the United Globe mine be- tween the 500 and 700 foot levels of a new large body of sulphide ores which can go direst to the smelter. Work on this new ore body will be commenced within couple of months, or as soon as certain up- raises and chutes can be put in to handle theore.
 At the Continental mine, between the 9th and 7th levels, 8 considerable body of sulphide ore has been open ed, running 19To insolubles, 3G9o cop per with gold and silver values. This is lump sulphide d the very best character, greatly desired by the management.
 It is estimated that within a few months the Old Dominion Co. will be mining from various parts of its properties between 2000 and 5000 tons of lump sulphide ores per month out side of the concentrating ore, and this tonnage, with the concentrates, will about carry four furnaces in sulphur
 Work will immediately start in sinking the big "A" shaft from the 14th to the 16th levels. Sinking of 70" shaft has also been resumed. It is now down about 300 feet. All tho water from the mine development in the West country, where some of the ricn ore is located, is now being hand ed by one pump from the 10th level of "A" shaft.
