WE have much pleasure in informing our
readers that we are making steady progress

" L have much pleasure III informing our
readers that we are making steady progress
in our arrangements for improving the Su-
perior TIMES. The arrival of such vel
come freight, as a very excellent print
ING press and a large assortment Of type
and other printing material, caused quite an
excitement III our community, as it was
justly regarded as the harbinger of better
days \ number of or prominent citizens
determined they would honor the occasion
by lending 4 helping hand to set our house
in order, and they engaged in the worl,
with will. Packing cases large and
small containing the muItifarious materials
OF printing Office, were quickly opened,
and their contents carefully arranged.
About half a score of our volunteer friends
clustered round the massy iron press and
bore it gently into the premises, as if it
were something well worth caring for, and
handling tenderly, and in q short time it
was placed in position to the admiration
of all. Each We'd with another in zeal,
but we especially remarked Counsellor
at Law, Of more than local fame, who
practically exhibited press movements, and
performed both rs Pressman and Devil
with an energy as if every turn of the
lever discharged a mitl;eIleur at the
enemies Of his cOuntryman Bismarck. Had
our Duluth friends been present they
would have Acknowledged that they 90 not
monopoIize all the energy in this section
We beg to offer our cordial thanks to
the Trustees of the Methodist Z. Church
for 50 promptly giving us possession of
the building they haue hitherto used as a
place Of worship. The building 29l Sec
ond street, corner of Becker avenue is a
most suitable one for our printing estab-
lishment, and the Trustees at once resoly-
ed to give it up to us, even though thei'
new church is not quite completed.
This is only one instance, however,
among many, where our citizens have
shown their good will towards the Supe-
rior TINES; we have numerous assurances
that it is regarded rs an effort in the right
direction, and that it will be amply sup
ported by local patronage, provided itprove
itself worthy Of general confidence.

DEVELOPMENT OF NORTHWESTERN
WISCONSIN,.

Among the resolutions passed by the
Republican Congressional Convention, held
at Sparta on the eth inst, there is one
which We most heartily endorse:
RsSolced, That this Convention regards
with SoiIcitude the necessity ofthc develop
mcnt Of that portion OF Wisconsin lying
on Lake Superior, and request our Senator'S
and Representatives, in Congress to use all
dlh@ent effort to secure the renewal of the
land grants for the Superior 4 Hudson and
Bayfield, Il st. CroiN Railroads, rs well
also an appropriation OF money sufficient
to complete ut once the work on the entry
TO Superior Bay.
It is strange how much Northwestern
Wisconsin has been neglected both by. the
Legislature and by those interested in Mil
waukce, Racine and the Lake Michigan
ports. Hitherto the Lake Superior coast
OF Wisconsin has been carefully isolated
from the rest Of the State. In a short time
the \. i. Il. Il. will draw 10 the west end
OF the Lake large trade which might find
Il direct and cheap channel from Superior
and bayfield, TO Milwaukee, rather than bv
i. 1aul and Chicago. 1t this is much
longer neglected, railway connections will
be formed which will deprive the Lake
Michigan ports Of the State of all benefits
from this trade, and as Milwaukee is spe-
clally interested in this matter, we would
urge the eNpediency of her making suenu-
Gus efforts to be connected more closely
with the northern district.
The La Crosse Leader makes the fol-
lowing appropriate remarks in reference
10 the above resolution:
OF the resolution, none are more peril
hent than the one referring 10 the develop
ment ct Northwestern Wisconsin. This
vast region, rich In lumber and mineral,

Trip to Vermilion Lake-The Iron
MountaiE, of Minnesota.
the Duluth Minncsotian of 18th inst.

From the Duluth Minncsotian of 18th inst.
John Russell, who with J. r.. Lewis, were
the Transfers who transported the new
Nermion Lake expedition and supplies to
the gold region, returned on Saturday last,
September llth, having made the trip up
in seventeen days, stayed there two days
and returned in five. On going up, besides
being loaded, they had to clear the road of
considerable fallen timber, which delay
ed them greatly. Besides, it rained
nearly the whole time - there being
only three clear days out of the first
twenty of their journey. The location
for the road Mr.. Russell regards as good,
but it needs a great deal of work, particu-
larly causcwaying or corduroying. He left
Professor r. Eames, Geo. F. Harris, ma
chinist Proctor, and Peterson and Her
mann, miners, who composed the entire
party, all in good health, except Mr.. Har-
ris, slight i'll; all ready to commenccywork
to manipulate the gold quartz, considerable
portion of (which was already on hand, from
different veins-in fact, enough to keep them
agoing all winter. While at Vermilion
Messrs, Russel and Lewis went across
about four miles to the Iron Mountain. and
were astonjshed at the quantity and rich
ness Of the iron ore lying all around Mr.
kuSSeI brought back with him several spec
4mcns Of the ore, two Of which he has de-
posted IN our private cabinet. One is a
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1870-09-22

rich black iron stone, fully 80 per cent of
pure iron, and the other is iron in combina-
ton with jasper and crystallized quartz
The Iron Mountain is range three miles
long, about the height of the Iron Noun
tam OF Missouri, as rich in It's ore deposits
and much more extensive.
An idea Of the transportation capacity of
the road to Vermilion may be inferred from
the fact, that the two teams-two-borse
wagons-took through, together, about q
500 pounds.

TIE following, clipped from a recent
number of the St. Paul Press, indicates the
probable point Of the n. p. crossing of the
Mississippi river. This points about I25
miles distant, and 10 miles south of due
west line, from Superior:
Some little trouble or litigation has exist
ed between the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company and the owner of the land on
the banks of the Mississippi river, twelve
miles above Crow Wing, where the Com
pany propose to build bridge. Mr..
Paschal Laschpeie owns six hundred acres
Of land at this point, three hundred on each
side of the river, Both banks Of the stream
are high, and the location is considered bv
the engineers the most feasible place on
the upper river for the railroad crossing
Mr.. Laschapelle values the property at
twenty thousand dollars, which is con
sidered pretty stiff figure, bat as tie owner
will take no less, and as the Company have
already offered rs high as seventeen thou
sand dollars, the probabilities are that
Mr.. /. will sell his wild land at pretty fair
profit.

New METHODIST Z. CuURCH = This

corner Of Thompson Ave. 1t is IS by 28
feet, and will seat nearly $50 persons. 1t

its pointed windows, and vestibule, and its
bclfry rising 43 feet from the ground, has 4
very handsome appearance The inside is
not quite finished, but it promises to be
very comfortable; it has a lofty ceiling,
embossed window glass, and looks quite
cheerful
It will cost about $4,000, the most of
which has been contributed by the mem
bcrs of the congregation, assisted by liberal
donations from our citizens generally; there
is st;ll, however, two or three hundred dol
lars wanting, and we would respectfully
bring this fact under the notice of those
citizens who have not subscribed, and es-
pecially Of the nonresident proprietors.
Mr. Stinson has given 800, and one or two
others have promised subscriptions Now
gentlemen, what others Of you are now dis
posed to follow suit? We do not mean in
promises but in re33ajttdnces. Depend up
on it, YOU will be well satisfied with having
been subscribers when you visit Superior
and view the handsome little church. And
if You 90 inside and hear the worthy pas
tor, the Rev. J. r. Creighton preach, you
viii be still better satisfied.

SUPERIOR & BAYFIELD, ROAD.

We are glad that the people Of bayfield,
are exerting themselves to have daily COM
muncation with Superior during the Win
ter. a good winter road will be of great
benefit to both places The bridge over
the Brule will be the most expensive part
Of the work, but We understand that Bay
field will undertake to do that, provided
that Superior will expcnd $1,000 on the
west end of the road. In August last,
Douglas County received from the State
1900 as an appropriation from the pro-
ceeds of sales Of swamp lands, with the
view of its being expended on the Bay field
road, and we have every reason to believe
that our County Board will do ali in their
power to second the efforts of our BAY
field friends In reference to this subject
the Polk County Press has the following
paragraph:
Arrangements have been made for a da
ly line Of stages from Superior City to Bay
field during the coming winter Men are
now at work on lhe road between the two
places, and by the time snow enough falls
for sleighing, the daily stages will be on
hand. a tri-weelly mail has been prom
iscl by the department. BY this arrange
ment bayfield, viii only be three days from
St Paul or the St CroiX Valley.

harbors at Superior and Bayfield, which
seem designed by Providence to shelter
the shipping of the inland ocean upon
which they are placed, has hitherto, by a
strong faulty, been almost entirely neg
lected by the legislators and business
men Of the State. Minnesota, with far
inferior advantages of soil and harbors on
the Lake shore, has already secured a rail
road, but the rich natural resources of
Wisconsin have been left undeveloped
for what Of that stimulus which it is the
province of legislation to bestow. This reso-
ton speaks the unanimous sentiment of
the people, and with the interest which is
now being awakened among capitalists,
and with the encouragement which the
legislation asked for will give, may expect
to soon witness 4 growth and development
in Northwestern Wisconsin not excelled
if indeed equaled, by anything in the
previous history Of the State. II

MrsrERlous-welearn that Mr.. MoopY

WeIearn that Mr.. MOODY
FORD, living in the neighborhood of Fra.
ziers Gin in this county, was found some
ten miles from his home, shot through
the head. 1t seems that on Saturday
morning, week ago, he started with a
neighbor from home, to 60 and look at
ter his hogs, which ranged some ten
miles from his residence Saturday night
they camped and on Sunday morning
both started out in different directions
and towards night the neighbor came into
camp and remained all night, and Ford
not coming in, made limited seach, and
came back home and repsrted the cir
cumstance, when large party started on
Tuesday morning, and in an half hour
after the camp was reached, Ford was
tracked to the place where he was found
shot through the head. The supposition
is that he was sitting on a stone resting
against young tree, with his gun across
his lap, when a stray shot from some
gunner (as there were several hunting
that day in the neighborhood) struck
him in the forehead and killed him in
stantly.
Mr. Ford was good and inoffensive
citizen, and is not known to have an enc
my in the whole settlement.
