| Mr.. Heisler, the contractor, has
lust finished clearing the TIMBER
from two miles of the proposed
railroad line from the N. p. juno
ton to knife Falls on the st. Louis
River Fourteen hundred feet of
rail is laid on the line, and at pres
ent used as part Of a Y for revers-
ing trains.
The L. S. & M. r. r. Co. is re-
+, building, in very substantial man.
ner, the long pile bridge across
Mud Lake. This lake is over a
mile wide, and is crossed by the
railroad about five miles east of
Fon du lac. The company is also
cutting down and removing the
timbe from wide area around
each of the high trestle bridges be-
tween Fou du lac and Thomson-as
a precaution against the approach
of fire to these wooden structures.
Geo. 9. Pratt, Of the firm of
O'Bline, Pratt & Co., Duluth, while
engaged in hauling ties at the firm $
camp near the Junction on Monday,
met with q very severe accident.
The team he was driving became
unmaneagable and ran away,and he
fell off the load only to be run over
by another frightened te am, which
was following. His escape from
being killed is almost miraculous !;
as it was he got off with severe but
not dangerous bruises IN the side
and back.
The large railroad building
used as depot, telegraph office,
hotel, etc., at the n. P. Jur ction,
caught fire on the roof Tuesday
from burning stove pipe, and had
it not been for the prompt exertions
of the citizens and the passengers Of
two trains then meeting there, the
chances are we would be called up
on to chronicle the destruction not
only of that building, but of Dun
laps store and several other build
ings, as a high wind was blowing
from the west and water was
scarce.
Preparations are making for
the building of two new military
posts on the Yellowstone River in
the Indian country, the coming
season-a large portion of the lum
Der for which was sent forward last
year, and the balance will be fur
nlshed this year by the mills in this
section and Minneapolis. About
three hundred men will be employ
ed in the construction of each of
these posts, and it is understood
they will be hired in st. Pau, Min
neapolis and along the line of the
Northern Pacific.
The Marquette Mining Journal
doesn't seem to take much stock in
things at the head of the lake,
especially the Superior newspapers.
The Journal was fooled into an ex-
change with the TINES, but as a
burnt child breads the fire, Swine
ford puts his heavy foot down and
says stop right there. Here is from
the last issue Of the Journal:
"The Superior Gazette is a news
paper which comes to us from the
ancient and dllapidated hamlet at
the head of the lake. It is about
the size of a Dutch pie-pan, and as
spicy and interesting as a last
years patent medicine almanac.
Exe change with the Mining Journal,
did you say, Mr.. Relf? TO be GER
tainly; what have you got to ex-
change? Well take Douglas county
orders at par, Duluth bonds with
ACQUIRED interest, hoop poles, maple
sugar, vegetables, patent medicines,
conversation, thanks, almost any
thing that we can use, but we can't
stand another Superior patent belly
ache newspaper"
