This season 80 cribs have been sunk on
Minnesota Point, and 10 on Wisconsin
Point, which in addition to the work here
totore done makes the present length OF
the pier on Minnesota Point 1850 feet, and
that on Wisconsin Point S64 feet Mime
sofa Pier IS built on curve with radius
of 200 feet for a length of 1904 feet,
thence IN direction of . tangent about north
east for 1856 feet further; this pier will
require about 200 feet more In length to
complete it, that is carry it out to IS feet
of water in the lake.
The Wisconsin Pier is built parallel to
the Minnesota one The plan of the i'm
proyement is to carry both of the piers
out to IS feet Of water; it is then expected
that the current of the st. Louis and Ne
madii rivers confined between the piers,
which are about $50 feet apart, will scour
out channel of at least II feet of water
This expectation has been partially realized
by the effect already shown on the bar,
which is now crossed by the Minnesota
pier entirely and IS just being reached by
the Wisconsin pier.
These piers are built upon the general
plan adopted by U. 5. Engineers for the
Improvement Of entries on the lakes. They
consist Of a continuous line of crib work
firmly boIted and tied together, and flied
with loose stone. The first course built /.
on an open griiage, SO arranged that the
stone can pass freely through it in order
that it may fill up any inequalities Of the
bottom OIL which the cribs are placed, aut

LAND GRANTS 20 RAILWAYS.

a valued Western contemporary contains the same
opinions which the Review has always advocated re-
spectng the partition Of the public domain among
projected railways We quote few remarks which
we fully indor5e:
"The people of Minnesota know full we'll that the
land they donate to the railway builders would be val
ueless for centuries to come without the roads So
with public lands of the United States. They would
be absolutely useless for thousand years to come but
for the railways that make them accessible the po
Of civilization. Those who oppose the donating
Of the wild wastes of the West and Northwest
gung in favor of keeping an immense extent of the
continent in the condition of a wilderness. The time
may come when the uncuitiyated acres still belonging
to the Government will be freely given to persons
pledging themselves to construct railways through
hem."-Railway Review.
We Of Northern Wisconsin can appre-
ciate that kind of reasoning. 1t ought to
have prevailed last winter in Congress
when the Hudson and Superior Land Grant
was before the House. It ought to prevail
this winter if there is any justice in Con
rg;.ces

The authority is cited in such vague way that We

We clip the foregoing from the Railway
Review. threads like fact as names. dates,
and figures are plainly given. There is NO
good reason for doubling it, -apparent.
And it speaks volumes in favor of>o9e Pa
cilic railway as the shortest route to the
Indies (using that phrase in the old sense
Of the rich ORIENT. The Suez canal has
been the only possible rival of the Ameri-
can Continental Thoroughfares, and this IS
set aside by such timing as made in the III

Pacific route. The Northern Pacific will
vastly increase the difference, and the Lake

to be the true Northwest pQssage, the acme

GRQWTH III TIE H0RTEW EgT

Great has been the progress of Minnesota during
the last decade it IS hardly possible but that the ratio
of growth must be largely increased. But If the pres
ent rate only be maintained her population in 1886
will be considerably than 100000. With less
than 10000 population and the poorest part of her
wheat lands under culture, the product of this grain
in 1870, was 20,O00,000 bushels. At the rate Of
Increase the wheat crop for 1880 should be nearly
$4,000, 900 bushels.-Evenng Post
The prospects of our sister State as Civ
en- above, are by no means exaggerated
but rather, understated. 1t is railroad de
velopment, and the prospect thereof, that
has done 50 much for Minnesota. North
ern Wisconsin will soon begin career oi
great prosperity from the same cause
Douglas County viii share in it when she
gets a railroad, or the contract for one.

WONDERFUL RICHNESS or TIE NORTH SHORE
SILVER MINES
New DIsCOvEBIE

The steamer Lotta Bernard arrived from
the North Shore Silver Mines this week,
and from conversations with some Of her
passengers we learn much important in
f0rr7aesoa.
The Silver Island ore has yielded as high
as $4,000 per ton, and IS taken to Wyan-
dooce, a place about I2 miles below Detroit,
where Z. 3, Ward at the head of an exten-
siyo smelling company, has erected works,
which when finished, will cost over $780,
600 Pure silver to the value Of nearly
aao0,o00 has been taken out Of the rock
shipped from Silver Island since July.
Maj. si5ley, o brother Of Gen. II. H. SD
leg, Of St. Paul, is largely interested in the
Montreal Mining Company. The ore to be
exported is carefully picked over and put
up IN strong barrels which hold about 500
pounds, and are generally worth s., coo and
,000 each, and sometimes double that
amount.
The Thunder Bay mine, which flourish
ed q short time ago, now said to remain
idle, owing to the poor management Of
those in charge. 1t is said that q large
amount Of money was fooIishly expended
in making improvements and doing surface
work, which exhausted the capital on hand
and the patience of the stockholders, who
have abandoned it for the present, although
pronounced TO be a rich location.
The Shunah mine is about miles from
Prince Arthur's Landing, on the Lake
shore, and formerly was principally owned
by l. I. Moore, Esq. of Superior, who has
lately sold most Of his interest to wealthy
parties.
A heavy party of capitalists from Toledo,
Ohio, are the controlling owners of the
Beck mine, which is nearly 10 miles from
Prince Arthur's Landing. Various rumors
are afloat about this mine in regard to its
wonderful richness, and it is reported that
portion of it has been sold at an enor-
nous price. Many people desiring to visit
these wonderful silver feds come to Supe-
rior, and thence take q steamer for the
mines.
Rich deposits of silver are said to exist
around Lake Nipigon, and that country is
already flied with anxious adventurous
Superior City is but two hundred miles
from the mines, and boat leaves this
point every week for the silyery regions.
Much Of the land containing rich miner
al deposits is owned by citizens of Supe-
rior, and was entered several years ago, out
of which princely fortunes viii be made.

PuBLTG SPIRIT

When a fit OF public spirit seizes you,
reader, as it viii seize every sane and think
ing man occasionally, do not begin to de-
preciate the lack of interest in public i'm
provements manifested by others, because
that will not advance matters particle
Others wake up at intervals in the same
way, and berate you as being behind the
age, and it has no tendency whatever to
make you enterprising No, let others
alone, and go you to work yourself. Take
advantage Of the fitful fever while it is with
you, for public spirit will bear delay in
handling as little as soda water It's at
tractive part soon evaporatos. Then while
you feel like improving the appearance, and
conyeniences of the place, take care to I'M
prove your part OF it. Reconstruct that
sidewalk. Paint that fence. Plant few
shade trees. Start vine and t ellis work.
Clean up the front yard. Put down neat
hitching post. Make handsome addition
to your house. ReshingIe that old roof.
Have the chimney cleaned out to save your
neighbor's house, and spare the public an
alarm Of fire. And while in the public spir-
tied way, train your boys, dress up a trife,
set fair example, work harder than ever,
be civil and cheerful, mind your own af-
fairs, and look out for the locomotive.

PRACTICAL METEOROLOGY.

Warm and cold winds in succession viii
bring rain. 1t matters not which may pre-
cede, the effect is the same. Clouds gath
ering about hills and continuing there, sig
Nifty rain. Banks and beds Of clouds, long
and low, mean rain especially if seen in the
east at early daylight. Clouds moving
swiftly from opposite directions foretell q
storm. YelIowness in the sky is a token
that there will be wind. Red, black and
yellow hues of the sky in general signify
bad weather. Light gray and blue tints
are usually signs Of good weather. Wen
marked clouds mean wind Or rain. Fleccy
indistinct outlines are indications of con-
tinuing fair weather

The first thing 10 be done is 10 look
around for happy man. When one is
found who may be thought entitled to that
anpellation, begin to wish that you were in
bis place, and owned all he possesses.
Next wish you were anybody except your
self, in any town except where you live,
possessed Of everything you do not own,
surrounded by different people from those
you know. Now it VIII be in order to look
out for sights. Of course people viii
slight . person SO miserable and unfortun-
ate as yourself. After noticing that every
body wants to slight you, begin to abuse
and oppose them in all things and you will
be happy.
