CHAS. W. ERICKSON, ^0eth,eR 219 West Superior Street. OLIVER GETS OPTION PROSPECTIVE LEASE OF SHERIDAN HOMEJSTEAJD PROPERTY. Oliver Mining Company Gets Option on Basis of Mining 100,000 Tons Minimum iAnnnnlly at 25 Cents Royalty—Property is Situated S«»i Tower—Branch Road Must be Bnllt. The Oliver Mining company has ob tained an option for a lease of another important property on the Vermilion range, this time near Tower. The op tion is for the old "Sheridan home stead" property in 5-62-14, situated about seven miles north of Tower and about live miles from the Duluth & Iron Range road. The Oliver Mining company, if it closes the deal for the lease, will be required to mine a min imum of 100,000 tons of ore a year. The royalty is 2 cents a ton. This prop erty will make the total minimum output of the Oliver Mining company 800,000 tons a year on the Vermilion range. The Sheridan homestead property is 'owned by John Semer of Escanaba. The land was explored toy C. E. Shan non and Captain McComber of Duluth about the time of the discovery of the Mesaiba range deposits. A shaft was sunk and about 2,600 tons of ore was stockpiled. But the discovery of the, immense beds of soft ore on the Me saba, which could be mined so much cheaper than the hard ores, discouraged the promoters on the Vermilion. They thought that there -Would be no oppor tunity to work the hard ore mines for many years. There is said ito be a large hematite deposit in the Sheridan homestead property. 1 It Is not known how the Oliver people expect to reach the new property north of Tower, whether by a branch from the Duluth & Iron Range or by their own proposed line. In veiw of the very hea vy additional equipment that the Iron Range is putting on its line it is believ ed that the road expects to handle Oli ver ore in future the same as at pres ent. It is said that it will cost $100,000 to build a branch road to reach the Sheridan homestead property. 'Corrlgan & Kinney of Cleveland are exploring in 11-61-15 and are sinking a shaft.

UNITY CLUB'S FIRST HENRY F. CREEXE OPEKS ITS \VI\ TBH SEASON. Dreyfus Cnae Subject Tlint is Brought up for Discussion—Clear and Comprehensive Paper Reail by Mr. •Greene—Deals Witli Notor ious System of Presenting Evi dence. The Unity club held its first regular meeting of the fall and winter series last evening at the Unitarian church. The paper of the evening was pre sented by Henry F. Greene, and the subject wos "The Dreyfus Case." The next meeting twill be held two weeks from last night and a paper will be presented by 'the former paster of the Unitarian churc-h :in this city, Rev. Mr. Sou-thworth of Chicago. Mr. Greene presented a very thorough history otf the Dreyfus case, which was punctuatd with interesting comment and comparison. He said he did 1101 think the inflexible determination of the French people to find Dreyfus guilty of trason was because he is a Jew, a theory that may people enter tain, but that he was first selected as a victim by the generals of the French army because of his sect, and that be cause he was accused he -must be found guilty in order to sustain and endorse the war department. 'Mr. Greene said that it was idle to say that t'he French people are inno cent in the Dreyfus case, for the people of all classes, even th workingmn of that country, favored it. He pointed out also that the pro-Dreyfus papers of Paris had fallen off in circulaion while those that were pursuing ami Dreyfus policy had increased their cir culations. Mr. Greene described the notorious system of presenting testimony. Testi mony based on hearsay and expres sions of opinion were accepted. In this connection Mr. Greene said that there is no system of law that can guarantee protection to innocent petople where 'public sentiment demands a conviction. The system in this country, however, offers more protection, he said, than any other. Mr. Greene pointed to the case or Mrs. Suratt, who was court martialed and hung for complicity in the assassinati'on of President Lincoln, as a case in which the dehand of the public for conviction in the absence of sufficient evidence, was complied with.
