Lloyd Jones. Judge Gate was taken sick and was unable to appear, but will make the closing argument at Grand Rapids to-day. The Tomahawk Company was represented by M. A. Hurley of Wausau, Burton Hansen, assistant general solicitor of the St.

Paul Company, and Mr. Starks of Milwaukee, all of whom made ai-guments. It appears that the question of priority of occupation has something to do with the question. The St. Paul folks claim that the Improvement Company did not begin its improvements until October 25 but the proofs are it decided to build the flooding dam last April, fixed its exact location June 5th, and had a crew of men at work October 15th.

On the other hand, the St. Paul folks did not even have articles of association claiming any rights in the river until October 21st-- four months after the Improvement Company had selected the site for its dam, and several days afterit had actually commenced work on the same. --On Thursday of last week C.

The West Hoppenyan is also being worked, and good ore has been struck on the crosscut.

In the afternoon the party went to Ashland and spent several hours looking over that live city.

The writer found time to look through Sam Fifield's office, and found the editor and crew busy at work. Sam has a fine building and well equipped office. He now runs his machinery by a water motor. During Mr. Fifield's absence in California the paper will be in charge of W.

R. Durfee. At the News office we found editor John S. Saul busily at work in his sanctum grinding out ''copy," while the presses near by were making merry music, turning out some neat jobs. He has been in Ashland two years and is doing a nice business.

The hotels are crowded with people going to and coming from the mines and general business seems to be good.

It would be a great pleasure to Stevens Point young men if they were able to tell the age of young ladies. Here is a table, however, that will aff -rd a great deal of amusement. Just hand this table to a young lady, and request her to tell you in which column or columns age is contained, and add together the figures at the top of the columns in which her age is found, and you have the secret.

Thus suppose her age to be seventeen, you will find that number in the first and fifth columns; add the two columns, and rect age. 1 2 3 6 7 10 11 14 15 18 19 first figure of these you have her cor- 23 26 27 30 31 34 35 38 39 42 43 46 47 60 51 54 55 58 59 62 63 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15 20 21 22 23 28 29 30 31 36 37 38 39 44 45 46 47 52 53 54 55 60 61 62 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 56 57 58 59 60 61 02 63 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 50 57 58 59 (50 61 G2 63 Baby on the Door Steps. On "Wednesday night about half past 10 o'clock, David Yarns was awakened from his slumber by a noise at the front door. Hastily getting up and looking out of the window, in the door he saw a tall, slim man drop a bundle and skip out as fast as his long legs could carry him. Mr.

Yarns opened the door ana brought the bundle into the house and cautiously unrolled it, for fear it might be dynamite or some infernal machine, when lo, and behold, wrapped up in a clean flannel and other tixins was a real live, bright baby-girl apparently about a month old, that looked up with its blue eyes as if it was glad it had found warm quarters. Mr. and Mrs.Yarns werecom- pletely non-plussed, butgave it good care and yesterday morning Mr. Yarns notified the authorities in order to have the matter investigated and attended to. Davidsays he shan't pass the cigars, it is too near tax time, and he will be obliged to buy an extra pint of milk now.

Where in the world it came from is what puzzles the people, but as it was about the time the train came from Stevens Point, may be it came by rail. So says the Waupaca Republican last Friday. Mr. Yarns is a carpenter and builder, and has a pleasant home, but no fact of which the fellow who deposited the little waif on hia door step was probably cognizant. But we can but regard the ringing in of the coincidence of the arriva' of the train from Stevens Point at about the time the baby was left as a deliberateattempt to slander the good name of our city.

Stevens Point is one of the largest shipping stations on the Central, but it hasn't commenced shipping babies that anybody knows of. Neither have we a "tall man" with "long legs" who would be likely to be distributing babies around the country. Besides, the tall men" ol Stevens Point, with ''longlegs" never go out is, hardly ever.
