Another Source of Wealth.

We ever feel an interest in the devel-
opment of resources of wealth in our sis
ter city of Grand Rapids, for the reason,
that such development serves to less or
greater degree TO enhance the trade and
wealth of the valley in general. And we
are by no means deprived of share in
the general good, connected as we are 10
the Valley City by the strongest of ties,
clasped and firmly held by bars of iron
that link our embryo city with that thriv-
ing mart closely in social and business
reciprocity.
Hitherto her plaster beds in connection
with her wheat and produce market gen.
orally, have conduced mainly to her stead
lily increasing growth and wealth; but
now, the recent discoveries of inexhausti-
bic salt springs in the quality of their
waters, far superior to any yet discovered
in the United States, and inexhaustible
in the quantity thereof, now opens up sud-
denly to the proprietors and the world,
visions of future wealth and convenience
to all within the commercial radius Of
that city. In short, it is a fixed fact,
that Grand Rapids is to be largely en-
gagged in the manufacture of salt, and is
to supply, not only Michigan but the en-
tire West TO n great extent, with that in
dispensable article OF household and the
farm use.
We hereto append the following from
the Enquirer Dc Herald of that city, re-
lative to the comparative value of the
brine obtained at different portions Of the
United States for the manufacture of salt,
from which it will appear, that that found
at Grand Rapids is one hundred per cent
superior TO the best yet known, elsewhere
Mr.. EDITOR II have noticed, by report in
the Geographical Examinations in the State Of
New York, by DR.. Beck. on brincs from which
Salt is made in different localities in the United
States, made to the Legislature, in 1898, the

The Sword of Ethan Allen.

1t is said that the veritable sword which
Ethan Allen carried through the perils of
many well-fought battles, is now in the
possession of one Of his female defendants
at Grand Haven, Michigan. Il is the
same staunch blade that he waved aloft
when, /" in the name of the Great Jeho-
yah and the Continental Congress" he
demanded the surrender of the strong
hold of Ticonderoga.-Boston Herald.
Would that the "veritable" old Ethan
were here, now in the flesh, to WELD it.
Age could rot tame his indomitable spir-
it, and the fire of youth animated him to
the last and when peace, rejoicing in her
olive leaves" came gladening over the
land, that "staunch blade" was resigned
to its quiet resting place, and that same
right hand and mighty arm, that had
done for liberty such wonders, gladly
seized the pen, and continued the good
work, for liberty of conscience, and free
dom from superstitious bigotry, and bald
antiquity, religious persecution, and priest
ly intolerance, and right Justify did be
thrust the "nib inevitable" and that scep-
ire Of the right which is impotent and al
most powerless in puny hands, become,
"beneath the rule of n man entirely great,
mightier than the sword" He is gone
hence. Death, opened her sweet white
arms and whispered peace; "come, say
thy sorrows in this bosom,"-and he now
rests from his labors, beneath the green
sod, and fowery turf, and the cold mar
BILE and silent epitaph, now rear them
selves from the sweet earth, to mark the
spot where sleeps the form of him who
once trod this huge rotundity so proudly

was DESTROYS of visiting Detroit. Accord
ingly we find on page SO of the report:
q State Treasurer, expenses of messen-
ger TO Detroit for State, $l3 30"
Again, on page 43:
Estate Treasurer, expenses OF messen-
ger TO Detroit, $40 co."
If the State has so much business in
Detroit, would it not be well to bring the
capitol backl But what business did
the State have in Detroit that should have
brought the Treasurer or a Z" messenger
here so often2
Shortly the Treasurer found "business
of the State" in New York. See page 90.
"John Mckinney, expenses to New
York, negotiating canal bonds, May 9Th,
1850, $97 15."
II we concede that this trip was neces-
sary, and that The canal bonds were ne
gotiated, ought not that to have been the
end of the matter? 1t was not. See
page Al:
6" John Mckinney, expenses to New
York, on account of canal loan, in July,
1859, $3.50 co."
This was when $4,000 of the canal
bonds were "loaned" to Hazelton d. Co
The Treasurer, if we look at the cost Of
the trip, must have been a long while IL
making the loan" to that enterprisine
firm.
The Treasurer having exhausted him
self in the service of the State in the
lower attitudes, sought the invigorating
climate of the hyperborean regions, as W.
discover from page 35 of the report:
"John Mckinney, IA days as membe
of canal board, $42 90. 900 miles trav
Ell, at 10 cents, 500 co."
The constitution provides that tn
Treasurer "shall receive no fees or per
ouisites whatever for the performance O
any duties connected with his office. p
The pretence of his trip doubtless was h
examine into the condition of the canal
None but a competent engineer coul'
mako an ineligible report on the condi
ton of the canal, and it appears that tw
engineers were employed for that purpose
each of whom (see pages Al and 42) WA
paid 1923 90 for his services--an aggre
gate of $246 90.
But the Treasurer went not alone o
his healthful northern trip. See page 81
: "Daniel l.. Case, IA days rs membe
of the canal board, $42 90. 96O mile
travel, at 10 cents, 800 90.
The exploits of our modern travele
saying nothing of his loan" of $4,000
to Hazelton & Co., have cost the Stat
during the year 1859 an aggregate sur
of seven hundred and SIXTY eight dollar
and SirtyJfUe cents!
We trust the Legislature will not AT
thorize another loan, nor say anythin
more of new capitol, during his term {
office, for if they should, we shall hes
of him in the different capitols of Europ
on business of the State"
But the guilt of these prohigato e,
penditures does not rest alone upon him

Another Salt Discovery.

Although the salt spring at Grand Rap
ids discovered not long since is stronger
than any which has ever been worked, and
which as yet exhibits no diminution in its
strength, yet it is not destined to retain
its pre-eminence without a rival, if we
may credit the account of the discover
les at East Saginaw. Last spring COM
pany was formed for manufacturing salt
at the latter place under the general min
ing and manufacturing law of the State
and under the law of last winter, which
offers bounty of ten cents for every
bushef manufactured. This company com
menced boring in June, and their shaft
has been sunk to the depth of six hun
dred and forty feet, where vein has been
struck which exceeds the best brine OBJ
tanned near Syracuse, and is fully equal
to that Of Grand Rapids. The directors
have just made report to the stockhold-
ers of the company, which states that a
bushel of salt can be manufactured from
twenty-four to thirty gallons of water
Should these results at East Saginaw, as
stated by The report of the officers of tho
company, be fully realized, and the salt
water retain its present strength, manu-
featuring can be prosecuted extensively
and proftably. These discoveries at two
points in the State will prove most for
tunate not only for the immediate locali-
ties, but for the whole State itself
