cided in the United States court at
Duluth last Wednesday in favor Of
Lampi, awarding him 5000.
A. NJ. Chisholm left Monday morning

Archie is very reticent as TO his real
destination which allows dame runor
to hint that something more important
than business is the cause Of his trip.
Sinking is being done in No. shaft
of the Chandler mine from the sixth
to the seventh level. No shaft is
being sunk to the third level, the
station at the second level of this
shaft is IS by u feet and so feet long,
going north. The average shipments
to date is about 100 tons per day.
At the council meeting, Tuesday
evening, Alderman Vail desired the
council to take action and reduce the
salary of the city attorney from $1,000
to 5000. Mr.. Mcdonald recited the fact
his appointment was made with the
salary of $1,000, which stipulation he
accepted, and qualified for the position,
and is now beyond their powers to
amend. Vail then made a motion that
they fire the attorney and hire a new
one. The motion lost and the matter
was referred to the finance committee,

funny for anything" The roof was
uncovered. windows showed cut, flour
and provisions were heaped up and
scattered to the four corners of the
house. The general transformation
showed it plainly to be the work of a
bear.
