of The interview with Coy. Wash

Iished by Us was based, Both Of
these gentlemen are extensive aud

the very highest financial, social and
political standing, and the word If
either or both Is entitled to the ut
most credit. When therefore hey
state, as they do, tbat certain i'm
portant portions OF the interview
with Gov. Washburn, as published
in the Madison journal, are incor-
rect. we are bound to believe that
the journalist, in his zeal, has uncon-
sciously fallen into error, and mis-
represented the words Of the Gov
ernor. They state that the new
company assured the Governor In
the most positive manner that they
desired to 90 on with the work i'm
mediately, and that they hoped to
make so good a showing this year
that the next Legislature would be
willing to give Il reasonable exten-
sion IF time to complete the remain
der Of the work. They also state
that it was the Governor, and not
themselves, who maintained that a
personal bond given as security for
the completion OF the various rail
roads would be void for want Of
consideration. Furthermore they
state that the new company well un-
derstood the necessity of keeping
faith with the people; that work
must begin at once, and that such
reasonable amount Of construction
must be completed this year as
would satisfy the people and Con

TuRoUGH THE Rocky Noun
TAINs.-A scheme is now on foot for
running a tunnel through the Rocky
Mountains. This may seem pro
digious enterprise at ln st to the cas-
ual reader, but the parties who have
the matter in hand are sanguine OF
the most complete success. The
idea is to tunnel the mountains from
a point about one mile below Black
Hawk to the Middle Park, running
in a northwesterly direction. The
tunnel to be run will, it is presum-
ed, cut many rich veins of gold and
silver, and thus a great mining in
terest viii be developed. Money
for the prosecution OF the work is
furnished by English capitalists,
who are sanguine of the ultimate
success of the enterprise. Some
idea Of the magnitude Of the task
may be gathered from the fact that
the tunnel, if completed, Will be
twelve miles in length. 1t is in
tended to make it large enough to
be used for railway purposes, and so,
if road IS ever to be constructed
to the Middle Park, it will find its
most convenient route through the
tunnel, It will be called the Sierra
Madre Tunnel Company, and the

ABE VAN METER on DULUTH.

Duluth is not all our fancy paint
ed it. 'Tis neither lovely, nor sub
lime. 1t is small place, not over
four thousand resident population,
and we were informed by some rus
ty old cOveS, that men were leaving
town as fast as they could obtain
passage money. 1t is situated part
ly on Lake Superior, and partly on
shallow, muddy bay. In front of
the city, which is built on the side
of quite a steep bluff, lies Minnesota
Point, like the huge bill of a CONT
mental snipe, which extends about
five miles in soatheastly direction.
1t has one business street which pre-
sents quite an array Of city preten-
sions, but we are of he opinion that
1t has very nearly seen It's best days.
Duluth is an old man in its youth,
and had the same amount Of money
been spent in building up New Rich
moad, we would have a city to-day
of 10000 population. Duluth has
six finely finished churches, and we
think a school house, besides a bio

Your newspaper Of the ID inst has an ac-

GOV Washburn, in regard to the application
for the land grant, made by the recently
formed Wisconsin Railway Company.
The Governor i represented in that ac-
count, as having made the following state
ment to YOU, viz THE law requires that
you, (meanng the new company shall build
sixty miles in one year from March II, 1878,
and forty miles each succeeding year. Do
YOU intend to comply with the law? Mr.
Knapp very promptly and candidly declared
in answer to my question, that they did not
expect or intend to comply with t; that they
had no expectation Of building the road, un-

COPPER CoNTRoL.-The Lake Su-
perior copper country will assume
its position as the leading district
for this mineral in the world. And
then the people who have for so
many years labored under adverse
circumstances 0 develop the region,
contending with the bad manage
ment and poorer Judgment OF men
who were iar removed from the field,
will wonder why they did not at an
early day get control of this copper
interest and hold it, instead Of allow
ing it to 90 INTO the hands of East
ern parties, who now, for the most
part, declare the dividends and reg
uIate the copper trade, as though
those on the ground at the mines
had no knowledge Of it.
1t is acknowledged that there was
a time when this great interest could
have easily been turned over to those
who now feel that they are entitled
to it, because OF the labor which
they performed in its early develop
ment; but the discouragements
which followed their labors detract-
ed greatly from their energy, and
the best opportunity ever afforded
them was allowed to pass unappro-
prlated.-Klrquette Hjn'g JouuaA

"impartial," and not over-modest

with his little eye, about the same
time that the distinguished G. Al
