LOST IN CAPITOL CITY
Big George of Flambeau Re-
servation Finds Madison
No Place for Redskin.

During the hearing on the Mich
lgan-Wlsconsin boundary dispute
at Madison last week among the
visitors was Big George of Lac du
Flambeau. To anyone who has
never seen this big indian from the
Flambeau Indian reservation in the
west part of Villas county, he shows
up mighty big and if dressed in
war regalia like the Indians did in
the early fighting days, would have
put half Of Madison's population
IN the lakes or caused foot races to
the timber land-if there is any
left there. The Madison Times
tells of his visit there last week:
Big George, seven foot tall In
dian of 70 summers of the Lac du
Flambeau tribe, Lac du Flambeau.
Wis, was one of the important wit
nesses testifying at the Michigan
Wisconsin boundary dispute hear
ing here today.
From experience, he related.
through an interpreter, incidents
and information that will be used
as a part of Wisconsin's defense of
the present Montreal river bound
airy line.
The Indians testimony dealt
largely with the location of certain
old Indian trails that he himself
had travelled on foot in the early
days. He was accompanied here
by Chief Jim Bell Number Two,
chief of the Lac du Flambeau
tribe.
The two Indians had considerable
difficulty in reaching their destina-
ton, according to the station agent
at the Northwestern railroad depot
here. They entered the depot and
Immediately were objects of curios-
ity. After they had sat for more
than an hour waiting for someone
to direct them to the capitol.
where the hearing was held, one of
the employees asked them who they
were looking for.
Big George was reticent about
talking, but upon persuasion he
said he wanted a Mr.. Smith. The
agent called Prof. Smith at the
University of Wisconsin and al
though the professor said he knew
nothing about the two, he suggest
ed that they might be witnesses in
the boundary hearing. The attor-
ney generals office was notified and
a taxi soon was dispatched to con-
vey the strangers to the capitol

Eli Leaving the South.

Eli Thoris states in a letter to
US this week that he will leave
Florida and land at Cicero, Illinois
for a short visit; then hike it for
Twin lakes and the land of free
dom and much summer pleasures.
Eli has been south all winter, and
1t is sure bet that with the fieas,
mosquitoes and snakes he is ready
to get back where everything is
peaceful and where one can set
down to dinner cooked in true
northern style. One thing about
Eli, he always has his appetite
with him.

WANTS SEASON IN MAY
Spider Lake Resort Men Be-
lieve Pike and Pickerel
Fishing Season Should
Come Earlier.

Alvin Koerner Of Koerner's Spi-
der Lake Resort on Spider Lake in
the Manitowish chain, Villas county,
advances some mighty good logic
when speaking of the opening of
the pike and pickerel fishing season
about May 25th instead of June
first as the law now has been for
many years past. 1t is worth the
reading by every resort man and
guide and sportsman in this lake

PROSPEC7ORS ARE
SEARCHING HILLS
Trying TO Find Gems in Colo
RADIO Mountains

Denver, Oct. "a. R-Prospec-
tors in large numbers again are
tramping the mountains OF Colo
RADIO seeking precious metals. Min
ing camps now find 1t profitable to
work grades OF ore which a few
years ago it did not pay to dig
from the ground.
Progress in the science Of metal
lurgy. one OF the principal factors
In rejuvenating the industry has
caused an increase OF 20 per cent
over the pre-war amount OF metal
obtainable from complex ores.
while the cost OF handling ore has
slightly decreased. The rise in
prices OF silver lead. copper and
even zinc, long considered the
poor relation" among metals, ID
another factor.
A per cent Of the credit for the
favorable situation also Is given
the statesman. Colorado miners de-
clare the fact that Poland was in
duced by special price concessions
TO use silver coinage. leading TO a
generally increased demand from
other quarters. was largely the
work Of American men who used
their influence In foreign fields to
help American mining. The ad-
vance In the price OF zinc Is at
tributed in part to the act of Great
Britain prohibiting the shipment OF
zinc bearing ores outside the en-
pire. The workings of the Dawes
plan, they say, has brought an in
creased demand for copper in Ger
many.
The discovery that raw lime
stone will precipitate the copper in
copper sulphate without the inter-
mediate aid OF iron. which hereto
fore has been used. has simplified
and greatly reduced the expense OF
extracting copper.
The Cripple creek gold mining
district showed a II per cent in
crease In output OF metals in
August while the Silvertown dis
trict's output was 45o tons above
July. Recent strikes OF new veins
has lent interest to the situation.

SKATING RINK IS
new PROPOSITION
Community Center Officers Max
ing Plans for Winter Fun
WOULD Be FOR ITS MEMBERS
Mr. and Mrs. MeskiII Return From

TO Speak in Berlin Tomorrow -
Church cWs--Othcr Items,

Church NeWs-Otbcr Items.
Ever anxious to provide for the
tljoyment of the public, the Worth
lng;un Community Center associa-
zion is making plans for the open
Ing oil q large skating rink in the
rear OF its property on Berlin street,
t!Iis rink to be for the use Of mem
b'.rS OF the association, all residents
of tho Worthington district being
Included in this classification.
The possibilities for such rink
will be reviewed tomorrow by the
officers of the association, who, With
the members OF the house and
81 rounds committee, Will look over
the property and will decide wheth
or or not ii would be suitable for
that use.
1t is the plan o: the officers at
present to Hood the baseball dia-
uond this winter allowing this
small lake TO freeze and then TO
throw it open 10 skaters. The sue
cess OF the project will depend en-
tirely upon the response Of the
members Of The association and the
officers invite comments as 10
whether or not members believe that
such a proposition would take"
The baseball diamond is located
in depression of the ground and
it would be a comparatively simplt
proposition to get Il good depth OF
water. The rink would be of good
size and would accommodate as
many skaters as might desire &c
partuke of this winter sport. OF
course. The plan is still in its in
fancy and Till be discussed at
length by those in charge, but the
opinion OF the club members Is
needed 10 definitely settle it.
II is thought that skating rink
in Hrrlin is something that has beer
much needed for many years. 1t is
pointed out that there are no suit
able places where people may skate
With any degree of safety in the
winter and that such rink as the
cub plans would be entirely safe
and would be more or less exclusive
and under strict supervision, so thai
The ice would be kept ever smooth
and free from any debris of any
kind.
The claypits in Kensington, where
many Of the younger generation hit
themselves, are not safe places &
skute, inasmuch as there are man!
thin stretches of ice covering grea
depths OF water. The WorthingtoT
rinl, would not cover great deptl
Of water and the ice will be thicl
enough 10 sustain the weights O.
many people.
Ii is hoped that the public vii
consider the proposition and Sc
forth their opinions in the matter
as the officers of the club are work
ing on the proposition in hope tina
The members of the club will enjo,
the skating facilities thus throw
open. 1t will be the first real skat
ing rink that Berlin has ever had, l
the project goes through.
