and, 113 miles from the volcano.
THE effect of the eruption on what
ever vegetation clothed the flanks Of
the volcano was humiliation. The po-
sition OF the death-line around the
volcano came practically down to the
sea, 15 miles from the crater. Marine
life was affected to a larger degree
than would perhaps be expected.
Bears, rabbits. reindeer and other ami
mails and birds were made blind. Dead
geese. ducks, ptarmigan. snipe, hawks
and many small birds We're found
dead at the mouth of the Kakhinak
river. Man was indirectly affected by
the eruption through the injury to 9TH
er animal life and to vegetation. The
eruption differs from almost all other
known great eruptions in that the i'm
mediate damage to property was al
most nothing, and that. as far as is
known, IL was not the direct and sole
cause of the loss of single human
life. The sparse settlement of the dis
trict alone was responsible or this
condition.

Houghton Copper.

Houghton Copper has now more than
400 feet OF drifts on the tenth level,
the bottom OF the winZe, and this
shows for almost its whole length
commercial grades and the major part
is of very good grades. The disclos-
ures recently made, especially in the
northern drift have not been so good.
1t is likely that surveys for railroad
connections will be soon made. As
soon as the railroad is completed ii is
probable that a mill test will be made
OF the stock pile which has become so
large as to be in the way. 1t is un-
derstood that unless there is some very
great change for the worse in the
condition of the openings, that after
the cash has been received from sale
of the 5000 shares that have been ad-
vertised for sale Aug. 1Sffor the nom
payment Of assessments, 81 having
been called May II, 1912 and 81 July
Is, 1913, the shaft will be sunk to the
tenth level. As there is about 5000
shares to be sold for the nonp payment
Of both assessments and 1000 for that
OF the last, there should be received,
with the current price of So per share,
something like the full amount due,
about $4,000.

Ishpeming Department Preparing
New and Novel Features

That copper country firemen have an
unusual treat in store for them in the
Ishpeming tournament is indicated i'm
reports received here from the Hema-
tite city. Anent the attractions, the
Marquette Journal says:
Within a few days the program for
the Firemens tournament week will be
completed. The members Of the ar
rangement committee have engaged
several fine attractions The races this
year will be a decided novelty. There
will be no cart pulling contests by the
firemen, as they will be carried TO the
point where the coupling and other
tests will take place either by automo-
biles or hose wagons. Four automobile
concerns have promised to send trucks
and there will also he a display Of 9TH
er fire fighting equipment.
The attractions will be by far the
best that have ever been engaged for "a
similar reunion. Ed Hutchinson'S sem
sational balloon ascensions, with from
two to four men making parachute
drops at the same time, will be the
principal free attraction and the as
tensions will be given twice each day.
one of the important features of the
celebration will be childrens parade,
for which an organization will be per-
fected next Saturday afternoon, when
meeting will be held in the fire hall.
The parade will likely take place
Thursday. Women and girls who will
be in charge Of the various features are
determined to make 1t even more at
tractive than the children's parade dur
ing the homecoming celebration. The
children of the several wards will be
thoroughly organized, and there will be
several features in the procession.

Victoria.

Victoria has so far met with fifty
feet OF very good values in the course
of the shaft below the twenty fifth
level. on the twenty fourth level
there have been disclosed 2G9 feet of
very good grades OF copper, the last
being just as high in value as the pre-
ceding. and the breast or face Of the
drift is revealing equally good metal.
on the twenty-fifth level a cross-cut
failed to find the shoot, so the diamond
drill has been used without any results
of a favorable character. The cross
cut will be carried farther in and the
diamond drill used again. The fact
that few feet below this level such a
long stretch of good ground i'm depth

occurrence in this lode seem to ind-
cate that the copper must soon appear.
Besides the openings on the twenty
fourth and twenty fifth and the sink
ing of the shaft the eastern drifts on
the tenth. eleventh and fourteenth lev
els are showing good rock, and that on
the twenty second fair rock.

South Lake.

South Lake is waiting for the cleo
trio pump which has lately been in
stalled, to be running smoothly, so that
the steam power that has been oper-
ating the pump can be used for anoth-
er drill. The compressor can only sup
ply air for three drills. Two drills are
being employed in the long cross-cut
third will be put to work drifting on
the No. so-called Evergreen lode,
which has recently again been passed
through by the crosscut from the shaft
at the third level and which showed
width of thirty feet with some cop
per the entire distance. the eighteen
feet having very good grades. 1t is
expected that this work will be be-
gun the last Of this week. The cross
cut at the thirty second level has COW
cred a distance of about 175 feet and
the sixty last feet has been in a very
dense hard trap. As nearly as the
dip of the four lodes when bored
through by the seven drill holes was
determined to be in the opposite di-
rection to those of the regular forma-
tions, where the shaft is located and
in, which the crosscut is now progress
ine. the geological developments are
being very closely watched by the min
ing men here. Many have thought that
some earth movement was so great
as to completely sever and turn around
the South Lake formations of which
the Lake Lode is conceded to be a
member. while others claim that it only
bent and reversed the dip of some of
the series. II is also considered prob
able that as the locations of these
changes are approached there would
be n gradually increasing disturbed
condition of the formations, hut moth
ing of that nature has yet been OBJ
served, and on the other hand the
strata are as regular and undisturbed
as the leaves of book. This property
with the three so-called Evergreen
lodcs discovered by the shaft and the
four South Lake lodcs would seem to
he one of~the most promising of the
non producers.

WILD SCENE ENSUES WHEN
NINE. CAILLAUx IS FREED
SPECTATORS ENGAGE IN GEN.
ERAL FIGHT WHEN vER-
DICT is ANNOUNCED.

Paris, July 29.-The announcement
late yesterday of the acquittal of Nine.
Henriette Caillaux, charged with the
murder on March 16 last of CASTOR
Calmette. editor of the Figaro, created
a wild scene in the court. Nine. Call
laux staggered and then threw her
arms about the neck of her counsel
Fernand Labori. Her hair was un-
done, falling over her shoulders, and
her hat dropped to the floor. The
spectators stood upon desks and chairs.
"Caillaux! Labori!" and cries OF
"Caillaux--assassin!" merged into one.
The din was deafening. Several groups
of barristers came to blows and the
republican guards in an endeavor to
separate them joined in the melee. Eff
forts of Labori and Chenu, the latter
counsel for the Calmette family, calm
cd the tumult for n moment.
Guards Clear the Room.
Failing to make himself heard, the
presiding judge, followed by the other
judges, marched out of the room. The
advocates took complete possession of
the court. Some of them mounted the
judges desks and harrangued the
crowd. The guards then cleared n
portion OF the room and comparative
quiet was restored. Judge Albanel
then returned and read the judgment
ordering the release of Nine. Caillaux.
Shaken with emotion. Nine. Caillaux
left by the witnesses door. the guards
making n lane through the crowd. She
covered her face with her hands, as IL
to shield herself from the furious cries
of, "Murderess!"
by way of number of narrow cor
ridors and back staircases she reached
a small side door in the palace of JUS
tice. where an automobile was await
ing and drove off unobserved. NJ. Call
laux left by the main entrance amid
mingled cheers and boots.
Thus ended the most sensational
trial with which Partisan courts have
had to deal in years.

is EASIER TO
QUIT The NAVY
New Rule Permits Honorable Dis.
charge Before Tenn Expires

Washington, July 29.-Abolition of
Imprisonment for desertion from the
navy in time of peace has been ordered
by Secretary Daniels. Under the new
regulations, blueJackets who overstay
their leave or commit similar breaches
OF discipline will be summarily dis
missed instead of being sent to prison,
while men who become dissatisfied
with the service and want to quit may
have an honorable discharge by mere
ly refunding certain enlistment allow
ances
This radical departure from tradi-
tional naval methods has been under
consideration by the secretary ever
since he came into Office. He an
nounced that the navy had practically
full quota--51,34S enlisted men,
compared with a shortage of more
than 1000 eighteen months ago, and
that the time to take the step had
come.
Statement by Daniels.
Secretary Daniels, in statement
announcing the new order, SAID:
"Enlistments in the navy have always
been for a definite period-at present
four years-and it has always been
difficult and at times impossible for
men to terminate their contract of en-
listment by honorable discharge be-
fore the enlistment expired If a man
remained absent from his ship or duty
after having been granted leave, this
made him deserter and on conviction
involved a prison sentence.
after very careful and thorough
consideration, and after q referendum
in which the opinions Of many of the
highest officers in the navy were OBJ
talned, the secretary became convinced
that this general situation was unten-
able and not in keeping with modern
business ideas. The new order is in
accordance with the opinions expressed
by n majority of the officers OF the
navy whose views were invited. and
whose long experience enabled them
to speak with authority.
Discretion of officers.
I'm order not to be too drastic, the
order permits commanding officers in
their discretion, to hold a first offend
er on probation or reduced pay for
periods of from six to twelve months;
but on repetition of the offense, he is
summarily discharged.
In order to promote the reformation
Of men who may lose pay by sentence
Of court martial. it is provided that
those who serve through an enlistment
and receive an honorable discharge on
its termination will have remitted all
pay lost by sentence of court martial
during that enlistment"

UNDIsTURBED BY THE CLAMOR
Sudden and D%eafenins Noise Had No
Effect on Occupant of New
York Park.

He was lost in dreamy contempla'
ton of the busy thoroughfare with its
hurrying throng, unmindful Of the
CRIME and stains that marked and
marred his old-fashioned garments,
when suddenly there r%esounded upon
the air an ear-splitting roar, a terrific
clangor, a stifled shrek from some
frightened women, a babel Of voices
and a rush of s%currying feet.
He stood transfixed, rooted to the
spot, without power to move a muscle,
an expression Of unconscious agony
upon his noble face. Breathlessly he
waited, unmindful Of the curious
chances bestowed upon him, and the
little newsboys c%rouching at his feet,
his gaze fixed rigidly upon the spot
from whence had arisen that cry Of
terror. The crowd parted, a heavy
truck moved lumberingly aside and a
Broadway surface al went on its way.
Still he did not move, o did the
stern expression upon his bronzed
features relax.
For he alone Of all that crowd had
nerves sufficiently hardened to with
stand the terrifying clamor and COL
fusion. He was the statue Of Nathan
Hale.-New York World.

FOR YOUNG WIFE
One Naturally Would Think That the

They had been married but a few
weeks when they decided to have a
turkey dinner for some friends. The
young wife was very inexperienced in
cooking and spent some time in con-
sulting her cook book. The bird ar
rived, and the young husband asked:
Don't you know how to do 1t, dear
est?"
They both gazed solemnly at the
turkey for a moment, and then the
wife replied:
Eyes, darling, it's all quite clear ex-
cept one thing, and I can't quite I'M
derstand that"
And what is that, lover" asked the
young husband, a~nxiously.

your turkey" replied she, land am

or regular securing SOAP"
