miles, until you approached Eagle riv-
er "a distance from Keweenau of about
thirty miles, when they incline rap
idly towards the interior, and are not
again seen until they appear upon the
Onlonagon river. This range has
width OF from one to five miles
From the Ontonagon TO the Montreal
River, the range Of the Poreupine
Mountains occupies much of the coun-
try. They rise from one hundred TO
one thousand feet; consisting of granite,
.conglomerate, trap and sedimentary
rocks; and according to DR.. Hough;on,
are abundant in ores of copper.
/ have examined this portion Of the
country but very little, but | have a
high opinion of it. Tina! part which
lies between 0ntonagon and Kecwee-
naa Point, has been explored by ne to
some considerable extent; enough TO
satisfy me that il is rich in copper ore.
Owing to the lateness of the season
when we arrived here, very little has
been effected as yet. There are phys
ical difficulties to overcome, which are
almost inSurmountablc. The whole
southern shore is covered with dense
growth Of small cedar, tamarack, fir,
birch, etc., making it almost impossible
TO penetrate TO any great extent into
the interior of the country, without
cutting your way as you advance.
Added TO this the gnats and mosquitoes
swarm in myriads, and put stop to
all operations during about two months
Of the summer. The months of April,
May, September, October and Novem-
Der are favorable and the country may
then be examined with greater free
dom. would, however, advise no
one to come TO this region without a
preparation for at least one years con-
tinuance, with tools, provisions, clo-
thing, etc., for the siege. The prices
of all necessary articles in this country
are SO high, that it would be advisable
to be prepared for all contingencies.
Most Of the articles wanted here, can
be purchased at Sault Ste. Marie or

go or Milwaukee at cheaper rate

The following is from the Burling-
ton Gazette. If correct, and we have
no reason TO dispute its orrectness, it
will probably have an effect on the
vote for Convention to frame State
Constitution. While fifty or hun
dred thousand dollars is paid out to the
People, as consequence Of their not
coming into the Union, they will not
be in hurry to take that step, and thus
divert this sum from their own pockets.
Reason, or instinct will teach them,
that they can make Just as good use
ofthc proceeds Of the public lands
within the limits Of our Territory as
any body else. Ofthe strict geometry
Of this logic, we say nothing. Its
expediency will not be disputed by
great many.
"lt has been customary heretofore,
for the Marshal TO pay the petit jurors
Of the various counties for merely the
first six days, the expenses for the re-
mander Of the term devo!ving on the
respective counties. In Des Mones,
where each term average about five
weeks, these expenses have as q mat
ter Of course been very heavy, the pay
ofjurors alone, calculated for the time
mentioned, amounting to Sl,536!-
In Dubuque county we believe The
courts continue, in session about the
same length Of time, and of course
similar expense is incurred. Under
the instructions recently received the
Marshal is authorized to pay the jurors
for the WhOie term, by which hence
forth, this large annual expenditure
Of money will be saved TO the counties
He is authorized, Furthermore, to pay
the crier and the other subordinate
officers for the whole term; to deiray
the costs Of stationary, fuel, room rent,
and all other proper contingent exPen-
ses including such blank books for the
clerk as shall be necessary and
proper for the dockets, minutes, and
records Of their respective COURTS"
and also 10 pay the expenses Of oil
special terms Of the District Courts
whether there be any United States
business before said Court or not. In
fine, as what is above written viii
show, all the proper and legitimate ex-
penses Of our courts hereafter are to be
borne by the general government
such being the plain Interpretation Of
the letter OF the Comptroller now be-
fore Us" -Transeript.

Dec. Goth 1913. )
DEAR SRI have now an unex-
pected opportunity OF sending you a
few lines relative 10 M whereabouts.
Maj. Campbell has engaged a man to
carry mail from this place to Green
Bay, and he will start this morning up
on snow shoes, although we have had
but very little snow, say about SIX
inches, and the thermometer six de-
grecs above freezing. If what wealth
er we have had is fair sample OF the
winter here, | can, with safety, pro-
nounce this to be one of the most pleas
ant ecinte7 climates | have ever ex-
perienced. Almost the whole of this
month has been so mild, that ono
could remain out of door during the
entire day without coat, and feel no
Inconvenience; the thermometer rare
ly descending TO freezing point, end
the variation during any one day not
exceeding twenty degrees. This IS
the more remarkable as we are on the
most exposed point inthe Lake, where
the full force octhe northern blast beats
with all its fury. Cast your eye upon
the map and you will find us almost
the extremity Of Point Keeweenau,
which projects sixty miles into the
Lake from the main line Of the coast
Of the south shore Of the Lake. Isle
Royalc being about fory-four miles
distant from Us, The British coast only
about ffty-seven, consequently we arc
about in tic centre Of The Lake, and
would fee .easibly the slightest change
OF ten pera,ure The Lake IS rarely
calm, but almost constantly laundering
its waters against the rocks, even
when there is apparently no wind.
There is some considerable game IN
our woods. There are hares, rabbits
pheasan,s, etc; but the density oil the
small timber makes it difficult TO get
through the country. The Mineral
section oflhis region extends from
Chocolate River 20 the head Of the
Lake; bot that portion embraced be-
tween point Keeweenau and the
Montreal River; is as faras examina-
tons have proved it, far the most val
liable. The veins which appear below
Keeweenau arc generally small, aud
Of no practical value. The best veins,
as far as can learn, are confined prin-
cipal!y to the ranges Of trap rocks.
This rock form 2 series OF gently steep
ming hills, next ending from Kee"ee-
Dea1 point a parallel direction 10 the
Ontonagon a distance Of about ninety
miles. After crossing this river, the
ranges are amaIgamaie1 with the Por-
cupine Mountains, farther north. The
range Of Trap Hills are seen from the

own hands!
This morning about 9 O'Clock, the
report ola gun was heard to issue
from his Office, and in few minutes
afterwards he was found dead, welter-
ing in blood, and shot though the fore
head.
Shortly after breakfast he sent for a
rife, and TO the trigger of it he iasten-
ed strong Irvine string, the other end
of which he wrapped around his
thumb; and in this mode The fatal shot
was made by him. a ooroner's in

he had shot himself.

LOVED ONCE.
ELIZABETH 3. BARRETT.

I CHASED and counted once
Earlh's lamentable sounds-lhe well-aday,
The jarring yea and nay.
The fall Of kisses upon senseless clay
The sobbed farewell. the greeting mournfuler-
But all those accents were
Less bitter with the leaven Of earlh's despair
Than thought these" loved once"
And who satin II loved once?"-
Not angels, whose clear eyes love, love ioresee.
Love through eternity
Who by ITO love-, do apprehend "to b."
Not God, called love. His noble ctown,name;
casting
A ligh, 100 broad for blasting!
The great Sod, changing not for everlasting,
Saith never, d" loved tnce."
Nor ever " loved once"

The nail aud curse may rend.
But, having loved. Thou lowest to The end.
This is -Iaa's saying! Impo;en. to move
One Sphere star above,
Man desecrdtes the eternal &c d.word Love,
With his "no more" and "once."
How say ye, {" We loved once"
Blasphemers! Is your earth not cold enow,
Mourners, wiihou, that snow!
All, sweetest friend, aud would ye wrong me so!
And would We say of me whose heat is known,
Whose prayers have met your own;
Whose tears have fallen for you; whose smile
hath shone,
Your words-"We loved her oncel'
Could we ave loved her once''
Say cold Of the, when dwelling out OF sight!
When happier friends Alright

When, like flower kept too long in the shade,
We find my colors fade,
And all that is hoI love in me decayed,
Say ye. "we loved her oncc?"
vii! ye, 1--WE loved her once''
Say after, when the bearers leave the door.
When having murmured Ger
My last "Oh say it not" speak no morea
Not so-not then least THEN. when life is

And deaths full JOY is given.-
OF those who sit and love you up in Heaven,
Say not, ave loved them once"
Say never, ave loved once"
God is too near above-lhe grave below:
And all our moments 60
Too quickly past our souls for saying SO.
The mysteries of Life and Death avenge

There comes no change 10 justify that change,
Whatever csmes-loved once.
