GOVERNMENT WILL SURVEY LANDS IN
 HUACHUCA RANGE
Win Be Great Saving To Bisbee-
 ties Who Have Taken Up HOmesteads in the HuaChuCa Mountain Forest Reserve Site

Residents of Bisbee and vicinity who have recently homesteaded in the Huachuca mountains will be pleased to learn that the survey of lands talk en up by them in that range of mount aims will be made this fall by the en- gineers of the forest service. This will be the first time that final sur veys, necessary before patents are is- sued have been made at the expense of the govrnmnt As the cost will run about S125 per entry. the relief to the settler is considerable Many of them. in fact have deferred mak- ing final proof for the reason that they could not afford the expense of a sur vey.
 Although the matter comes proper ly under the department of the inter for the work is to be done by the engineers of the forest service for the reason that the lands in question lie on the forest reserve.
 Bisbee Is the principal market Of these homesteaders They are dry farmers. chiefly The settlers in the Huachucas are handicapped at pres ent by reason that their wagon road to Bisbee leads around the southern end of the range into Mexico and they are loath to take the chance on losing their crops by hauling them that way.

TO TEACH CROP MARKETING

SALTWATER. Oklahoma. Sept. In view of the. difficult commercial situation created by the European war, considerable interest is attached to the opening here this week of a new department. that of commerce and marketing. in connection with the state Agricultural and Mechanical College. While instruction along this line was given last year, the opening of the present college term sees the beginning of a separate department or "school' devoted to the subjects of commerce and marketing.
 Since Oklahoma is primarily an agricultural State. authorities in charge of the Agricultural and Me chanical College believe as much i'm. portance should be attached to in. struction in how to find a market for Oklahoma crops and products as Is now given to that Of producing them. With a State agricultural and me. chanical college having buildings. land an deouipment valued at s890,749 and six secondary schools of agriculture Oklahoma is rapidly taking its place beside the older States in the matter of farm education.

Miuratino Rirda.

During many Of the nights in Sep
TENDER the inha bitants Of the island Of
Helgoland are astir with big lanterns
and kind of enormous butterfly net,
the former to attract and dazzle the
migrating birds when they come to
earth to rest. and the latter to secure
them. Mr.. Seebohm, the great author
ity on bird migration, states that he
has known as. many as $4,000 skylarks
to be caught on the island in single
night. The migrating birds are always
interesting to the ships that ply across
the North sea and the Baltic. In Sep
TENDER they settle on yard arm or on
deck, rather tired, and the seamen
catch flies and collect them into recep-
stacles for the benefit of the birds.

Curious Fish Spearino.

In spite of the march of civilization
there remains much that is still print
tive in Sicily, and curious sight at
Palermo Is to see the fishermen spear
ing fish in the harbor by the aid Of
glass bottomed buckets. says the Wide
World Magazine. There are many
corners of the world where fish are
speared. but perhaps the use Of the
glass bottomed bucket in this connec-
ton is to be seen only at Palermo.
The fishermen lean far over the side
Of their boats and hold the bucket on
the water. with one hand, poking their
heads into it as If engaged In the Hal
loween game Of ducking for apples.
They hold spear poised in the free
hand and thus await the arrival Of
their victims. who are sighted through
the glass bottom OF, the bucket. which
acts as kind of telescope.

Mr.. Sellwood was twice married.
His first wife, who died a number Of
years ago, was Ophelia Mathews of
Ontonagon, Mich, whom he married
in 1867. They had six children, of
whom three are living, Richard M.
Sellwood, Mrs. L. w. Leithhead and
Mrs. c. E.. Mershon. His second wife
was Mrs. Martha Triggs, who sur
wives him. He also leaves an adopted
son, Joseph Sellwood, Jr.
Until the illness which ended in his
death, Mr.. Sellwood had not known
sickness, and accustomed though he
had been for many years to work
eighteen hours out of every twenty
four, there was no sign of nervous or
physical strain. He was ever the &C.
tive, stalwart business man Of affairs,
and he could be found any work day
of the year at his office at the
bank in Duluth Of which he was presi-
dent, or upon the range personally
supervising the mining work at prop
critics under his charge. This review
of Mr.. Sellwood's career and achieve

following tribute paid to him several
years ago by the Iron Trade. News OF

Capt. Joseph SellWood IS dead.
After an illness which began last
Christmas, when he was suddenly
taken ill with cold, Capt. Sellwood,
pioneer capitalist, mine owner and
banker and one Of the most promin-
ent business men Of the northwest,
passed away at 1886 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon of Brights disease at
the family residence, 1902 east Sup
erior street, Duluth. He had been in
rather poor health for the last two or
three years, but his condition was not
considered serious until this winter.
During his illness, Capt. Sellwood
was attended by the family physician,
DR.. Charles L. Codding. At his bed
side when death came this afternoon
were Mrs. Sellwood, his two daught-
ers, Mrs. Charles L. Mershon and Mrs.
L. w. Leithhead, and son Richard M.
Sellwood.
Miner at Age of 9.
Joseph Sellwood was one of the last
of the old crowd, the captains of the
mines of the early days of the Upper
Peninsula. Born at Cornwall, Eng,
Dec. S, 1916, the son Of Richard and
Elizabeth Carter Sellwood, the boy
"Joe" began his miners life at the age
of 9. holding drills in the east Pool
tin mine. Hammer and iron drills were
the implements in those days instead
of the automatic tools now in use.
And skilled must be the miner to
swing his hammer in any position.
When he was but ID years old he
was earning the wages Of an adult
miner, sum amounting to about ga
sterling a month, and for nearly five
years he continued to do as his people
had done before him. He came to the
United States and at once went into
mining. "For the same reason that
everyone else does-the prospects of
more money" Certainly he found the
prospect but not entirely an illusion.
The apprentice boy in the Cornish
mines, working his way through the
successive stages, became mining con-
tractor, manager, bank president and
fnancier, until he stood among the
foremost business men of Minnesota.
When he landed in America with
out friends or relatives, the young
miner went to work in the Mount
Hope iron mines in New Jersey. He
remained there less than three months.
In August 1866 he came to Michigan
and secured work at the old Ogema
mine, now q part Of the Mas mine,
in Ontonagon county. Until Aug. l,
1870, he remained in the Copper
country, most of the last year at CAL
umet. Then he took a step that
shaped his whole future career. He

JOSEPH Sell WOOD SUMMONED:

transferred his sphere Of action from
the copper mines to the iron range. !.
+ u: Began Contract Mining.

Began Contract Mining.
The old New York Mining COM
pany, operating then at Ishpeming
on the Marquette range, employed
him, but twas not long before he be-
gan contracting to mine ore by the
ton, hiring his own men. Beginning
with part of the old New York mine,
his contracts grew until they en-
braced most Of the mining at the New
York and Cleveland mines. These
properties were controlled at that
time by Samuel J. Tilden and the
Cleveland Iron company but now the
Cleveland mine lis being operated by
the Cleveland Cliffs Iron company.
These were days Of long working
hours underground for Mr.. Sellwood,
and days when it required courage
and unfailing perseverance to work
out successfully the contracts under
taken. It was here that his great
ability to mine at low cost, a char
acteristic that afterwards became al
most synonymous with his name, first
became apparent. There were times
when necessity compelled working
with. narrow margins, and if they were
hard times, they were doubly hard on
the man who bore the burden of re-
sponsibility in addition to his hours
of labor. Outside Of his mining work,
Mr.. Sellwood found time to establish
a general store at Ishpeming, which
still operates under the name, "Joseph
Sellwood & Co.," under the manage
ment of his brother-in -law.
1t was about this time that the
Penokee-Gogebic district began to be
explored, and in 1885 the firm of
Mather, Morse & Co., in which the
chief interests were those of Samuel
Mather, j. c. Morse and James Pick
ands, sent Mr.. Sellwood to open the
Colby mine, the first on the new
range and where the town of Besse-
men has since been built. The prop
erty at that time included the present
Colby mine operated by Corrigan, Nc
Kinney & Co., and part Of the Tilden
now controlled by the Steel corpora
ton. The open pit and old wooden
head-frame of the inclined shaft still
remain to mark where the first ore
was taken out. It was here, too, that
steam shovel was first used in
handling ore. A stockpile of consid-
cradle tonnage had been piled at the
mine, and for a variety Of reasons
at just that time could only be moved
on condition that the cost of handling
be kept below a certain small maxi
mum sum, which to the owners,
seemed impossible of attainment. IF
you will get me steam shovel" said
Mr.. Sellwood, "1'll put that ore on the
cars so cheaply it will surprise YOU"
And the shovel was bought, the, ore
was moved and the cost of loading
was a few cents q ton.
Opened the Brotherton Mine.
In the same year that he came to
the Gogebic range, Mr.. Sellwood
opened the Brotherton mine for Pick
ands, Mather & Co., who sold the mine
in 1886. Mr.. Sellwood then organized
the Brotherton Mining company, in
which he acquired a one-fourth in
terest, becoming president of the
company. This ownership continued
until the sale Of the property to the
