Contract in Baltimore.

In tow of the Baltimore tugboat NJ. w.
Hunt. the hydraulic dredge Dewey, which
has been employed for several months in
dredging operations on the Eastern
branch and in rec.aiming the flats on the
south side of that waterway, left here
yesterday en- route to Baltimore, where

The Dewey was brought to the Potomac
about two years ago and was used by
her owners, Sanford & Brooks of Bal
timore. in harbOr improvement work in
front of Alexandria. Soon after finish
ing up the work at Alexandria Sanford
& Brooks obtained contract for the
dredging of 100000 cubic yards of ma
terial from the Eastern branch and pump
ing 1t ashore.
She started on the work last February

dug and pumped ashore more than a mil
lion cubic yards of material when she
completed the work about three weeks

TITLE TO DISTRICT LAND
SUBMITTED TO COURT
Controversy Over Right of Way
for Railway Line to
Navy Yard.

Reference to long-standing controversy
over certain lands in the District is made
by Harry w. Miller, solicitor of the Navy
Department. in his annual report. Re-
garding the proposed branch railroad
along the west bank of the Anacostia
river to the navy yard, the solicitor says:
THE controversy over the title to the
land to be occupied by the proposed spur
track and switch yard is now pending be-
fore the courts. While there is no pros
pect of an early determination of the
proceedings. it is believed that the suit
that has been filed, in which the question
of the title to all lands desired for the
construction of the tracks will be finally
decided, will remove the objections here
tCfore offered to the execution of the
agreement contemplated by the act of June
-. 1910. Negotiations have been again
instituted looking to the execution of the
agreement. The compensation for this
delay is that the expense of the under
taking will be considerably lessened by
the establishment of the government S
title to the greater part of the lands. and
the danger of having to defend against
claims in the future will be removed

proceedings were resor-ed to by the
Navy Department for the acquisition OF
the tract of land known as Norman

south of Massachusetts, avenue and east
of Wisconsin avenue. The price fixed by
the commission for such land amounted
to s792.S, averaging about s1.05 foot
for the whole tract
That price" said Solicitor Miller, zap
peared to be excessive but opinions ana
estimates obtained from disinterested
exnerts indicate that in all probability
no more favorable terms for the gov
eminent could be secured in any way.
and it is believed that an exchange for
said land at the price named OF certain
land outside the circle belonging to the
government, together with the payment
of a sum of money to- be agreed on,
would be the best arrangement for the
government interests that could be
effected. Negotiations looking to such a

Mr. Chittenden will make another Christmas property out of the Schneider property as it is To- cated on the northwest extension of the great sulphide ore beds that have made the Christmas mine famous.

Injured by Blast.

This morning Lew Rothe was badly injured by the premature explosion of a blast on the new wagon road Tn Kingman canyon. He had helped the miners to load a mum Der of holes with nitro powder and had fired the fuse, but before he could move away the explosion came, the fire apparently having run to the powder. He was blown high in the air by the blast and lay stunned and bleeding close to the other loaded holes, but the other mem bers of the crew succeeded in at tracing his attention, and although dazed, he managed to get behind a boulder before the other charges went off. He was hurried to town and Dr.. Whiteside dressed his wounds. Rock had been blown into his face and his right hand was badly shattered, be- sides receiving bad bruising and shaking up.
 Mr. Rothe is an old time miner of the county and has world of friends that hope no permanent injury will result.

Mine Lien Law ln-
 vokeS Referendum

The miners lien law that passed the legislature at it's recent session is just now coming In for all kinds of condemnation, even the miners that asked for the passage of the measure being in favor of its recall. Petitions are being circulated in Yavapai, Gra- ham and Cochise counties, and this week Henry Lovin began the circula- tion of a petition here favoring the recall. So far every miner that has been talked with by the MINER editor is in favor of the recall of this meas- ure, believing that it's inforcement a, law would work as much hardship to the laboring miner as it would to the mine owner. The terms of the law in- voking the referendum requires the filing of this petition within three months after the adjournment of the legislature and after the filing of the petition the operation of the measure is held up until the people pass on it. It IS the general belief that It will be repealed.
