N. D. INDIANS TO
GET MORE MONEY
DELEGATION FROM FORT TOTEM
BACK FROM CONGRESS-
WERE SUCCESSFUL.

Grand Forks, N. D., March 6.-The
three delegates from the Fort Totten
Indian reservation who have been to
Washington to make appeals to con-
gress, Ignatius Court. John Matohe and
Solomon Fox, arrived here today on
their way home They have been
highly successful in their mission.
They asked and secured ruling
whereby the minors of the tribe are
to be allotted the $50 annuity, the same
as the older members for this spring
only The poor crops of last year is
the reason this was asked and given.
The government has in the past been
holding the allotment of the younger
children so as to give 1t to them for
"a start when they reach the oge of 81
years. The money is to be allotted at
the discretion Of c. M. Ziebach, the
Indian agent.
I Besides getting this concession, the
three delegates secured the settlement
of an old claim Of $4,000.
Another feature of their visit to
Washington was their request that
congress order an investigation into
an old Indian treaty whereby 100000
acres Of land in Yellow Medicine
county, Minnesota was turned over
to the government for 80 cents per
acre. They contend that this sum
is too small and that the Sioux Indians
should have had some say in the mat

TuTE GAME.

New York, N. Y, March 6.-Securi-
ties with market value of over $780,
600 were stolen from the pocket of
George Bancroft, broker, as he was
on his way to deposit them in the Pro
duce Exchange Safe Deposit Co., last
Thursday. A pickpocket substituted
an envelope for the one taken and Mr..
Bancroft did not discover the theft I'M
til today.
For the last twenty five years it has
been Bankcroft's habit every Thurs
day afternoon to deposit the firms
valuables in a box rented by it from
the Deposit & Storage Co. The dis
lance from his office to vaults is not
more than 200 feet.
Last Thursday Bankcroft, as usual,
placed securities worth about 500, 900
in large envelope approximately 10x
ia inches, tied with red tape and with
the FIRMS name printed in the corner.
Alone he walked down a flight of
stairs from his Office to the vaults.
AS Barikcroft reached the bottom of
the steps he noticed an understood
young man leaning against the wall.
Just as Bancroft was about to turn
the corner at the end of the corridor
into the vaults a tall man came run
ming around the corner in an opposite
direction and collided with him. The
shock threw Bankcroft off his feet and
he dropped the envelope. The under
sized man stepped to Bankcroft, as
sisted him to his feet and was solicit
tous to tuck the fallen envelope under
his arm. At least Bancroft thought
1t was the envelope that fell. He went
on to deposit it in his box as usual.
This morning when his son, George
Bancroft, jr., unlocked the box to
check up the securities before the
opening of business for the week. he
found that the only envelopes there
contained three. old newspapers. A
clever substitute had been effected.

Chicago, March GA bomb was ex-
ploded today in the hallway of a build
ing occupied by Italians and another
placed in the doorway of a grocery
was removed and extinguished by a
policeman before it could do harm.
In the latter instance, when the
policeman notified the grocer of the
finding and the latter lighted the gas
with a match, an explosion which
partly wrecked the store showed that
the bomb throwers also had saturated
the floor of the building with gasoline.
The grocer, Ignaxio Damico, and the
policeman, Thomas Parker, were
burned in the gasoline explosion. No
one was hurt in the bomb explosion
which partially wrecked the building
Both bombs followed demands for
money upon the occupants of the build
ings.

Law Allowing Leases Is Not
Constitutional
REPEAL BILL WAS KILLED
LAW WAS PASSED ORIGINALLY
TO BENEFIT SETTLERS, BUT
EXPERIENCE HAS PROVED THAT
IT BENEFITS ONLY MINERS
STATE COULD RECOVER.

Bismarck, n. D., March 6.--In 1908
the legislature passed law allowing
the lease Of public lands for coal pur-
poses. The plea for this measure was
that it would help some Of the strug-
Cling settlers and the state would get
some revenue from these lands. Since
this time 1913 leases have been made
by the board of school lands, and the
state has received S6,16S15 from the
same. At the present time there are
forty-nine Of these leases outstanding.
and the rest have been cancelled be-
cause the payments have not been kept
up, only the first payments being made.
On those cancelled, $1,325.40 has been
paid leaving s4,S42.75 which has been
paid in on the leases now alive and
under which some mining has been
done.
Soon after the passage Of the law
1t developed that it was not helping
the settlers and that quite a number
Of the conracts had been assigned to
coal companies, which were mining the
land under said assignments. 1t was
also believed that the legislature had
no right to authorize these leases un-
der section 161 of the state constitu-
ton.
In 1906 a bill was introduced to re-
peal this law. II passed the state SEN
ate but was killed in the house. In
1907, it met the same fate, which was
the case again in 1909, when it is
claimed some professional Ignite coal
miners and even some state officers
took a hand in killing off the measure,
so as to leave the coal land lease law
on the books.
In January, 1910, the school land
board asked the attorney general for
an opinion as to the legality of the
law. Attorney General Miller rendered
an opinion, dated Feb. 3, 1910, in which
he plainly shows the law is a viola
ton Of section 161 Of the constitution
of the state
Senator Pierce introduced a measure
TO repeal this coal lease law and ask
ing the land board to cancel these
contracts and stop the mining Ii
passed the senate, but was again de-
feated in the house. 1t is also claim
ed that the assignees under these
leases have not paid the state only a
small proportion of the tonnage tax
which the law requires. Although the
legislature has failed to act, 1t would
seem as IL the school board had sufi-
Gent authority under the opinion of
the attorney general to cancel these
leases and endeavor to secure suf1-
cient returns from tn trespassers to
reimburse the state for the coal all
ready mined.

NINETY PERSONS
PERISH IN FLAMES

st. Petersburg, March 6.-Nine-
ty persons, many of whom were
children, were burned to death
and forty others injured in a fire
that destroyed a moving picture
theatre at Bologoie, Sunday. Re-
ports of the disaster were received
here today.
The flames broke out while the
exhibition was in progress and
quickly enveloped the building,
cutting off every avenue of escape.
Futile attempts at rescue were
made by those who happened to be
close by the exits, when the fire
started and by those from the out
side, but the fury of the flames
drove them back before they could
reach the shrieking victims who,
in their efforts to get out of the
building, fought desperately among
themselves.
Bologie is a small place in the
southern part of Novogorod prov
ince on the Nikolai railroad.

A Chance For The Young Man.

Now that an almost universal inter- est is being taken in the mining in- dustry of the west this fascinating oc- cupatiOn offers a most alluring oppor- tunity for young men of push, enter prise and vinegar, even if they are possessed of but it'le of this worlds goods, or but limited experience in matters pertaining to mining affairs.
 In the new mining camps of the west the bulk of the population is composed of young men, many of them from the east. They are bright and brainy and pushing; and although they are alluded to as "tenderfeet, I" we find that there are many instances where these same ''t-nderfeet" get in on the ground floor in many meritori ous and valuable propositions.
 It is good thing for a man to have experience in mining operations prior to starting out on prospecting trip; but he should not become too set in his ideas, for if he permits himself to become settled in certain ruts of opin- ion and belief, he will pass over many good things which the young and in- experienced man will jump at, and jump at so hard and with such vigor and push that he (the tenderfoot) will discover, hardly before he knows it, that he has a bonanza on his hands.
 In the mining camps of the west there is always something for a young and intelligent man to do. He may have to take up with work that seems nothing less than drudgery before he finds something better to do. But, in his leisure moments, if he is wise, he will keep an eye out for the main chance. There are occasions when he

Samples Indicate
 Another Great Mine.

A Burke, Idaho, dispatch says:-The earmarks of another Occur d'Alene have been uncovered in a wild and ne- glected section of Montana, east of Bnrke, and by the samples of George Dee, Sr., and the diagnosis of Profes- sor Samuel Aughey, geologist, it merits investigation.
 Silver and lead show prominently in the samples brought out by Mir. Dee from the Ophir group. Values range from 65s to 1O5s in a streak upward of two feet wide at the surface. This is the only surface exposure, but the ledge rears it's head at many points throughout the length of four claims.
 Satisfied with the exhibit, MT. Dee and his associates, mainly residents of Spokane and Chicago, started tunnel that has attained the 26O foot point. and that will undercut the surface ex- posture l50 feet ahead, where a depth of POO feet will be attained.
 The lure of lead is strong in the field, said Mir. Dee at the St Ni;holas hotel. It has attracted several appreciative investors, among them being w. B. Russel of Missouri, owner of the Rus sel group, and Frank Trainor, owner of the Star group. The Mexico Min nicoupoa will be subjected to exploita- tion in the spring.
 Fire swept boarding, bunk, and other houses from the Ophir last sum- mer. Those buildings necessary to a continuance of work were restored and the entire camp will be rehabilitated next summer. When the surface ex- hibit is undercut machinery may be installed. Quartz and quartzite ap- pear in the samples.

can do little prospecting on his own hook, hours when he can study forma- tions and geological occurances, and opportunities will arise when, with the expenditure of but little money, he will be able to get in on a good thing because he is on the ground. Such opportunities always exist, and if talk en advantage of land a bright mind will recognize such opportunities when they arise) the returns, in the good old hard cash of the realm, will be greater and more easily obtained than could possibly be won from any other occupation or pursuit now existing in the commercial or industrial world Salt Lake Mining Review.
