MORE RA ILROAD CONSOLIDA 7ION
From e New York Times Jsu ,.

From New York Times jan .
A scheme is now on foot, which
failed about year ago, to consolid-
ate the Milwaukee and ST. Paul and
the Chicago and Northwestern Rail
road Companies. The stocks of
both roads If the proposed arrange
ment is carried out, will be combin-
ed under the name of the " "Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railroad
Company" There will be an addi-
ton of 50, 100000 to the share capt.
tai, which will be divided among
the shareholders of the old compa-
nies, 10 per cent. upon Milwaukee
and St Paul stock, and % per cent.
upon Chicago and Northwest
The failure of this scheme for a
lease, or consolidation, which was
attempted a year ago, was due t"
the opposition of the Chicago and
North estern German int erests,
which were represented here by
agents from the other side. 1t is
understood that these interests are
now anxious to bring about the ar
raugement defeated a year ago, the
Germans b, lievlng that it Will be
greatly to the advantage of both
roads TO have no competition be
tween them The earnings Of both
roads are greatly i'll advance of l672,
and should ii consolidation or lease
be perfected they would be still
greater.

and are shipped to st. Louis and

On the Berlin marshes about one

year, while on the Burnett marshes
good crop was gathered.
Some of these gentlemen contem

buildings durisg p.nc winter; they
will be 00N20, one and a halt stories

be built and used As sleeping houses
for the picktrs, five hundred OF
whom will be employed another
year during picking time, at l.5O

These parties contemplate build
ing steam saw mill and cooper
shop. to get lumber and manutac-
ture barrels. They have already
invested about S25,oUO. In the
township adjoining there is estimat-
ed To be at least $4,000 acres OF
cranberry marsh. A new road is to
| be opened to Pine city, n distance
of four miles to the ST. Croix river
and ten miles from the St. Croix
rlvcr to Pine city. From a recent
issue Of the Pine City Neacs we
learn tha' this road is completed.
The Burnett county berries took
The first premium at Northern State
Far, held at Oshkosh last fall. his
is good evidence OF the fact that
they are better berries than the Ber-
/ lin berries. We are informed that
they are very much like the Cape
Cod berry.
Other parties are also engaging
i'll the cranberry business. Dennis
Boyle, of Saltwater, has a marsh o1
about one hundred acres on the
Nalnekagon river in Burnett coun-
ty, has erected dam, flowed the
marsh, aud picked berries from il

THE VALUE Of GOLD AND SILVER.

THE VALUE OF GOLD AND SILVER
Many people have a great desire
to know the value of gold and silver
in bu k, and tc this end we have Sc.
cured the following from Prot. J, F.
l.. Schrimer, superintendent of the
Branch miH; iii Denver, and it may
be relied on as correct. The tine-
ness of Colorado gold and the cal
culatiou of values on gold and silver
are also given. 1t is matter Of
considerable value and it should he
cut out and preserved:
One ton (2,O00 pounds avoirdu-
pois) Of gold or silver contains %.
/ 1853 troy ounces, and, therefore, the
value OF a ton OF pure gold is $500,
799 81, and of a ton Of silver, s37,-
7U4 S4,
a cubic foot of pure gold weighs
l,2lS.75 pounds avoirdupoiS; Gu
bic foot OF pure silver weighs CSC. %
