Indians Loses Case.

Holding that the title Of Indians to the
submerged lands of Lake Michigan had me-
yer been recognized, and further that what
rights they had were relinquished when the
aborigines voluntarily left the land, Federal
Judge Carpenter today ruled adversely to
Indian claims on filled-in lands along the
lake front in Chicago. In one suis three
Indian trsbes, the Ottawas, Chippewas,.
Pottawatomics, sought TO rccver made land
along the lake front aow occupied by rail-
road companies and the South Park board.
In the other suit the Indians sought TO
restrain the South Park board from procce-
ed;ng with improvements along the lake
front, where much lands is being reclaimed
Counsel for the indians said that an app
cal cnId be taken.

well becomes saturated with organic filth
and allows the surface water percclating
through it to carry its load Of contamina
ton into the well.
The curbing or covering is often oosely
constructed of boards, permitting small
animals and vermin to fall into the well:
and surface water carrying filth and manure,
especially after rains, runs into the we'll
from the top.
Both deep and shallow wells are subject
to contamination. Of 177 deep and All
shallow farm wells examined in Indiana.
10 of the deep well waters were of good
quality, IS were bad, and l6 were doubtful
159Sof the shallow well waters were good,
2G9 were very bad and 4S were doubtful.
The safety of water supplies when near
sources of possible surface pollution often
depends largely on the character and quality
of the material in which the well is sunk.
The farm well, especially shallow dug
well, should be located somewhat above the
barnyards and stock pers, at least in such a
position that the surface drainage from all
possible sources Of contamination is away
from the well. If local conditions and
prices will permit, it is a good idea to pro-
vide imperyious floors with water-tight
drains for farm buildings and stock pens.
Under the same conditions concrete manure
pits might well be provided not only to pre-
vent the liquid manure from polluting the
neighboring soil, but to save the manure.
No garbage, manure, or rubbish should be
dumped into sinks or basins in the immedl-
ate neighborhood, and these should be
fenced off and kept free from polluting
matter.

Just about three months later, when

He hadn't seen the color of gold.

HELPED SURVEYORS IN WORK
British Expedition Found the Wireless
Telegraph of Almost lnvalu.
able Assistance.

Commander Herbert A. Edwards,
the officer sent by the British govern.
ment for period of three years to
command the Bolivian survey commits
sion, recently returned to civilization
after having completed over 200 miles
of frontier survey.
The party, whose duty was to sur
vey mostly unknown country, the dis
puted frontier between Bolivia and
Brazil travelled up the Abuna river to
settlement called Santa Rosa, whence
they cut across country to meet an.
other section of the commission. Both
parties then returned down the Abuna
on the completion of the survey.
The great achievement of the ex.
petition is that they fixed all their
longitudes by time-signals sent by
wireless telegraphy from Porto VALID,
situated 100 miles from the base Of
operations. A party was left at Porto
VALID, and, by the courtesy of the
brazilian government, time-signals
were sent every night
Commander Edwards carried with
him rough receiving set and a long
wire, which was rugged up on trees.
He has proved that wireless telegra-
ply will enable the explorer to dis
pense with chronometers, and easily
and accurately fix all longitudes.
Commander Edwards says this will
begin a new era in exploratory sur.
veying. He eulogizes the work of
wireless expert, Mr.. Chapman. who
labored night and day to make the
experiment successful. In the course
of his work this gentleman had ter.
rlble experiences with hornets, ants,
and other pests. He was provided
with climbing irons in order to ascend
the highest trees.
The commissioners have still to
erect boundary marks along a portion
OF the frontier, but the commencement
of the rains will render it impossible
to deal, this year, with a section of
40 miles of frontier which, it was
hoped, would be covered during the
present season.
