A gentleman recently sent what he
supposed to be a fossil human heart to
Frank Buckand, the naturalist for exami-
nation. 1t turned out to be simply a water
worn pebble, marked with lines of injected
quartz, SO as to much resemble heart.

bayfield,.

We have received the first number of
the bayfield, Press, lively little paper pub
lished in our ighboring town of Bayfield,.
1t copies from the Polk County Press, and
of course endorses, an article eXtoillng the
advantages Of that particular locality over
the head of the lake, and cites "gentemen
of unquestioned integrity" in support of the
position that, what it calls, the harbor Of
bayfield, is open to navigation thirty five
DAYS longer than the harbor of Superior.
The gentlemen of unqucstioned integrity,
seem to be somewhat deficient in knowl
edge on that point. We have before us
the official report of A. IL. Hanchett, State
Geologist, of 865, and find by it that the
time of opening and closing of navigation
at the head of the lake-port of Superior
is by no means given correctly in the
table furnished by our Bayfield, friend.
Besides we know of our own knowledge,
that last winter, one of the coldest known
here. the schooner Pirrepont made a tri p
from this port to Ontonagon leaving i'll the
BEGINNING of December and returning
and entering this harbor about Christmas.
# the Press refers in its talk simply to the
arrival or departure Of the first and last
steamer or vessel in each year, it may be
correct; but that is no criterion for show
inc the close of navigation.
Our BAYFIELD, friends also err when they
call their roadstead harbor Vessels do
not lie safely at the piers of Bayfield, in all
winds. The channel on the west of Mad
cline Island is about four miles wide and
straight to the open lake. A storm blow
ino from a northeasterly direction down
.hat channel, will drive the heavy waves OF
the lake to the very piers of Bayfield,, and
render the stay of any vessel at those piers
NOT only precarious but absolutely impos-
S;ble In such case all vessels would be
Icomnelled to cross over to La Polnte, some
three miles distant, for shelter. A promi
nent citizen of Bayfield,, fully identified WITH
that place for3 years, admitted to US IN
conversation in August 1869, that he mao
several times seen the waves SO high at the
piers Of Bavfeld, as would have inevitably
wrecked any vessel, which would nave
been there at the tine. 1t is evident 'ha
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1870-10-20

such situation cannot be considered &
harbor fit for a great commercial empo
rum
Another great drawback to Bayfield, is
that it is out of the route of all railways
seeking an eastern connection. Bayfield, il
situated on the east side of comparative
ly narrow point running out into Lake Su
perior, and the distance from Bayfield, te
the southern extremity of that point, where
it joins the main shore is upwards of four
teen miles in a direct line In order to
reach Bayfield, railroad would have to
M axe detection from its eastern course Of
fourteen miles directly north and return
again directly south in order to get around
the southernmost point of Ashland Bay
AS it is impossible that those railroads can
be built on an absolute air line, we may
safely estimate that railway running West
and East, would have to diverge at least
thirty-fve miles from its straight course in
order to reach the roadstead of Bayfield,,
and we hardly think that the advantages
which Bayfield, would have it in its power
to offer would justify the cost and expense
of such a construction.
We like bayfield,; it is one Of the pref
tiest places we have ever seen. Its green
islands, resting like gigantic bouquets upon
the bosom Of its waters, its nesting houses
surrounded by hills, its beautiful brooks
filed with trout, and the romantic scenery
surrounding the whole, makes it one of the
pleasantest summer resorts in the West.
We like the people of Bayfield,, and we like
the Press, whether run in Polk or Bayfield,
counties; but when our good friends claim
commercial advantages which they do not
possess, and make assertions of urfounded
superiority over the head of the Lake, we
must set them right. No objection to your
Dragging, Mr.. Press, but stick to facts, and
not to the fancies of "gentlemen of un-
questioned integrity"

! This is not only news to us, but we ven
ture to say, is news to every citizen of
Douglas County. Col Knight was the
intimate friend of the late Superior Tribune,
and the citizens of Superior know how to
value the services of that sheet. He was
the correspondent of the Superior Tribune
last winter at Washington, and his letters
appeared in that paper Our citizens have
read them and can judge for themselves
whether those letters exhibited the spirit
of devotion to our interest, which his pres
ent communication would tain have us be-
lieve. He owns not particle Of real pro-
perty in this town, but has invested his
means at Duluth and where our
treasures are there will our heart be''-the
prosperity of those two points, will add to
his prosperity; the prosperity of Superb or
in so far as it checks the prosperity OF
her rivals-wil diminish his. 1t is unrea-
sonable to suppose that he should seriously
desire that this point should attain the full
pre-eminence which nature has bestowed
upon it. Upon the above facts we place
our opinion that the gentleman is hostile to
Superior. ''Acts speak louder than words"
The gentleman also tells us that he dis
approves of the transfer of the North Wis
consin railway into the hands OF Jay Cooke.
the subject, and distinctly recollect that he
highly approved that measure. For our
part we have always deplored it, and the
transaction can only be justified by the fact,
that the opposition of that man would have
been influential enough to defeat the meas
ure entirely, and that after the grant shall
be renewed, means may be found to rem
edy the evil.
We have thus laid before the citizens of
this place our reasons why we say that
Nh Knight is hostile to this place. More
and graver reasons are openly expressed
by persons who profess to know, but we
refrain from mentioning them here. The
gentleman's communication claims that he
has not done us harm. We think he has,
but at all events he cannot point oat sin
Gle instance when he has ever attempted to
exert himself for the benefit of this place.
We ask our reader's Indulgence for re
ferring to personal matter, and promise
never to do SO again. Our citizens must
Judge for themselves Of the value Of Col. |
knights friendship. AS far as we are con-
cerned, eve may err'-to use the terms of
that gcntlcman-but we think Superior will
do well enough in any event.

We omit the name Of the subscriber to

the young lady that she has been the victim
Of an infamous swindle. There IS no such
gilt concern going on by authority OF the
state Of Virginia. and we know OF no such

Greens, We reckon, is more numerous IN

sure Miss b., however, with oil sincerity,
that She stands as much chance OF getting u
