Mining and Smelling.


We have received the Report of the Com
mittee on Mining and Smelling, Eli Robinson,
Chairman, made in the Wisconsin Legisla
ture. The report states that comparison Of
the three great productive interests of Wis
consln-agricultural, mining and numbering
taken from the most accurate data to be had g,
demonstrates the fact, that the two first named
are nearly equal an amount and taking the
numbers engaged, the mining interest pre-
dominates, while 1t greatly exceeds the lum-
bering. 1t says this is a we'll ascertained re-
suit for the last twelve years. The report
says also that the reason why more has not
been done, in the opinion of the committee, is
the want of proper scientific knowledge on
the subject. II rightly says, ''the miner has
no magnet except his eye to show him where
to plant his spade. Every where the eviden-
ces Of nisapplied labor and capital are to be
seem" Every miner will be ready to certify
to the truth Of these last statements. Not
knowing exactly where TO dig for the hidden
ore, II is not an uncommon occurrence to see
where miners have dug, for all that appears 10
the contrary, in exactly the wrong place; and
1t science can contrIve a way in which this
difficulty can be obviated, the devotees of sci
entIhc mining will be greatly increased, as
well as the production of lead ore. The first
position of the report, that there is a great

and it Will take a wise man to solve it. Can
somebody tell US where we can go and strike
plump down on a lead Can that indefinite
gentlemen give Us any information about this
practical matter, that will be an improvement
on the keen instinct Of an old miner. who has
made that identical point the one idea of his

ankee TO contend stoutly, that he can learn

raise corn. The 'test of the pudding is in the
eating and the whole rim of scientific min
ing IS IN Its success. That theory will be
the right one that can be proven so by prac-
uce. If anybody can only tell the miner
"a here to stick his spade in the search Of
his object, he may count himself a very rich,
as well as very famous man. Millions are
at his disposal as prize while living, with
monument over his ashes when he dies. The
report repeats the fact, that one hundred parts
OF our common cliff limestone. by solution in
sulPhuTIc acid, is capable Of yielding one
hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty
parts OF Epson salts, and sixty parts Of gyp-
sum besides. This appears TO be an establish

Railroads in Western Wisconsin.

Nothing is definitely known about any Of
the Railroad projects that have been named.
except the Mineral Point Branch. That road
is now under contract. and will doubtless be
completed by the time that either the Central
or the Southern is finished as far west as the
proposed point of junction, and it's designed
to join one of them, but which one, is a matter
for future agreement. " presume the South
ern Wisconsin road will be preferred. The
Mineral Point road VIII supply all the wants
Of the Northeastern towns of Grant county,
and will be of incalculable benefit to Richland
county, as well as Iowa and La Fayette.
There seems to be now a strong probability
that the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad
Company earnestly intend to project their
road from Madison west along the valley of
the Wisconsin to the Mississippi river, and
terminate at or near Prairie du Chien-cross-
ing the Wisconsin somewhere between Prai-
RE du Bay and Borett's Ferry. Should this
take place, the northern regions of Grant
county will be in possession of stupendOus
advantages, and there seems now. every pos
sIbilIty that the Wisconsin river route will be
preferred. Al the proper time the company
will apply to property holders along the route
for means, and there is every inducement to
respond TO that call, for a Railroad would
double and triple over and over, the value of
every acre of ground in FIVE miles of the road.
Without such road, much of that country must
remain a wilderness for a score of years.

The Exhibition at the close of the Free Schools
in this village, on Tuesday afternoon and evening
last, went off in very good style. The scholars

his and her part with much accuracy, and those

We understand that the exercises are to be re-
peated some time next week, with little change
in programme. Price of tickets will be made
known in due season.
We are glad to learn that notwithstanding the
Free Schools are closed for the present the chill

The Mineral Point Tribune notices our re-

that we are timid about falling in, till we find

TIE RIPLEY TRAGEDY. Robert Peters who
was shot on Wednesday by Charles Baird,
whose sister he had seduced and refused to
marry, was still living when the kenton pass
ed Ripley yesterday, but there was little prob
ability of his recovery.
Baird was in California when the news of
his sisters ruin reached him he Immediate
ly left his business, and he scarcely took rest
or food till he reached Ripley. He sought
an interview with Peters, and used every ar
gument and every eItreaty to induce him to
make the only reparation possible. Baird f.
nally offered Peters three thousand dollars of
his hard earnings, if he would marry his sis
ter. When this was refused, Baird drew his
pistol and shot the seducer, with the inten-
ton as he frankly AYERS, of killing him on the
spot Miss Baird is said to be partially de-
ranged. The utmost sympathy is felt in Rip
ley for Baird and his sister. Peters is a tail

valued at little less than four millions of dol
lars, the lead product of the year 1851 was

product for the last twelve years in the same
