Jan. 22Not In yam have timber wolvea been &pg^$ntlx more hunirry, numerous or dangortjtfi than the preeent winter, and escapades from the hungry packs are reported by the settlers in this vicinity almost dally. The early winter made the animals gaunt and hungry much sooner than or dinarily, and In the isolated sections of the northern portion of Beltrami county they are a positive menace to the unpro tected traveler. John Wilm of this city had the ex perience of hla Hfe with a pack near Northorae this morning. Wilm's father lives about four miles from Northome on a homestead. Before daylight the son started over a road known, as the Jericho trail to reach his destination. When about a mile from the place he saw a gray wolf Btealthily following him. He was armed with a six-shooter and took a shot at the animal, with the result that it left the load. had gone scarcely twenty paces farther when he saw another one sitting on Its haunches in the middle of the road, calmly contemplating him. thought to frighten It. but the animal only moved warily to one side and showed i teeth with an ugly snarl. Soon another wolf appeared, and shortly after two more. "Wilm decided it was time to take to the tall timber, and accordingly shinned up The pack gathered beneath him to the number of twelve, and not until he had killed two with his six-shooter and the carcass of the first had been eaten d,id they disperse. Experience of the same sort are fre quent In addition to the bounty of $7.60 for full-grown wolves offered by the state, the board of county commissioners has decided to offer a bounty of $7.50 for full grown females. Homesteaders and settlers are putting In much time hunting the forest outlaws and are having good suc cess. The animals gather in packs for the pur pose of hunting, and It Is said that they will kill more deer than all the hunters in the state took during the open season. Snow to a depth of two feet covers tho ground In the sloughs and open places in the big woods, and when a pack is for tunate enough to start a deer and get it to cross one of these places it becomes an easy victim.

Under Bonds to Capitalists of Denver and Other Cities Who Have Until Peto. 1 to Take Them tipFour Hundred Acres and Two Cyanide PlantsAbnndanoe of Low-Grade Ore. Spsoial to She Journal. Lead, S. D., Jan. 22.One of the largest and most important mining transactions known in the Hills of late years is about to be closed on Yellow Creek, south of Lead. It involves the transfer of the properties of the Wasp No. 2 and Aider Creek companies, both of which have cyanide plants and about 400 acres to gether. The negotiations were started several months ago by W. XV. Dickinson of Lead, who interested Denver and other capitalists. The considerations named in the various bonds are said to aggregate 8500,000. Of this, the Wasp No. 2 com pany will likely receive some $250,000. The bonds have until Feb. 1 to run and the persons holding them have announced their determination to take them up. Ex perts have been engaged for several months making examinations. The Wasp No. 2 company Is the owner of a cyanide plant of 125 tons dally capa city. The principals of the com pany are John Gray of Terraville, D. A. McPherson and W L. McLaughlin of Deadwood and John Blatchford of Terry. The Alder Creek company came to the Black Hills from California. It was or ganized for operation in California and was induced to come to the Hills by the favorable ore showings on the Little Blue, Pansy and associate claims* adjoining the property of the Wasp No. 2. A cyanide plant having a capacity of more than sixty tons a day was built and for sev eral months that It was running its earn ings were entirely satisfactory. The for mation of the Alder Creek territory is identical with that on the Wasp No. 2. This plant has been Idle several months pending the result of the negotiations. The management of the Wasp No. 2 re fused to close its plant, announcing to the contemplated purchasers that If they wanted the property they might have it at the price stated. It is the intention of the purchasers to operate these various properties under one management and on a large scale. By the consolidation It will be possible to work them more economically. The ore is low grade in character but exists in quan tities almost too great for computation, DEADWOOD, S.

Original Survey as Swamp Land Most Stand and the State May Realize Several Hundred Thousand Dollars by Reason of Ore DepositsEx- plorations Yet'to Made. Closing Its Mines. The Lackawanna Steel company and as sociate Interests have closed two of their mines and will Close another' soon. These are the Odanah and Caspian, al ready closed, and the Verona, to be idle after Feb. 1. This will let out about 400 men. The Oliver Iron Mining company has closed the Dober mine, Menominee range, after coming to an agreement with the owners that it shall not be reopened for at least two years. They pay $12,000 for this concession. Dober is a good mine, but of a grade that is not available just now, when all costs are being cut to the limit. Pickands, Mather & Co., who have been operating the Minorca on the Mesaba range, have closed it for the rest of the winter and have permitted it to fill with Water. T(he Lackawanna Steel company also has an interest in this mine. Cleveland Cliffs Third. The Cleveland Cliffs Iron company shipped a total of 1,815,000 tons of ore the past year, making it the third com pany in the Lake Superior region. This total includes the company's one-fourth interest in the Lake Superior and Regent, of the United States Steel corporation, the handling of which is entirely by the latter. The Cleveland Cliffs has a large amount of ore in stock at its docks, which it was unable to ship east last fall, and its mines are running under check. A fine new steel shafthouse at Aragon mine, Menominee range, is in commission. The Shakspere Gold Mining company, east of the Sault, is selling treasury stock at 25 cents a share to provide money for development. Machinery is arriving at the mine, and a four-drill compressor and power plant are set up. The assays of the pay streak hold up to not far from $150 a ton. TONNAGE MORE, VALUATION LESS U. S. Engineer's Report of Duluth Superior Harbor Business. DULUTH, MINN.Captain Charles L. Potter, United States engineer In charge of rivers and harbors on Lake Superior, to-day gave out the annual commercial statistics for the Duluth Superior harbor for 1903. The total amount of freight moved on the harbor, receipts and shipments combined, for the last season, was 17,066,718 net tons, as compared with 17,606,703 tons in 1002, a gain of 460,925 tons. The valuation of the com merce was $177,594,212. There is a falling off in the valuation, in spite of the increase of freight tons, due to varying prices of commodi ties. The valuation placed on the commerce in 1902 was $194,444,695. Tbe Dulutb-Superlor harbor made an excep tionally fine record in showing an increase of 460,925 tons, despite the great falling off of ore shipments toward the end of the season and the disappointing wheat movement. Duluth is credited with 9,002,580 tons and Superior with 8,964,188 tons of the grand total of freight tons for 1903. John Cameron, aged 16, la under arrerit for forgery.

Duluth, Minn., Jan. 22.A remarkable decision, affecting mineral land on the Mesaba range, has just been made by the commissioner of the general land office, aud the state of Minnesota may possibly be several hundred thousand dollars rich er thereby. The case concerned 156 acres of land that for years had no owner, being a no man's-land between two township lines just north of the village of Virginia. Final ly it was surveyed and returned by the deputy as swamp land, and became the property of the state under the organic act. Several years ago individuals, finding the land dry, contested the state's rights and filed under the government laws. Now, after two years of hearings, in which J. STILLWATER, MINN.Sheriff Harris of St B. Foraker of Ohio, and others appeared CroixextraditionWisconsin, county, was here last as attorneys, the general land office has ruled that the drieinal notation.* of th*. george Burton and Harry McDonald of St. -?iL.I: original notations or tne government's surveyor, which classed the land as swamp, must stand whatever its condition at the present time. N explora tions have been made on this land, but it Is supposed to contain a large.and valuable deposit of ore, and it lies adjoining the Alpena and Sauntry mines of the United Skates Steel corporation. Captain &. Whitburn, who, haJs been working the south range of the* Gogebic near Bessemer, looking for an ore forma tion, has^le^ft the region and gone to Ari zona to manage a copper mine.
