the recording, on September II, of a deed

to trial 1t will be fought by the united
strength of many wealthy residents The
title OF all the property claimed under this
deed is believed to be perfectly clear to the
present holders, and quiet possession for
ten years, under the laws of this state, with
reasonably clear title, confirms the holder
in possession.

SALE OF THE BECKER FARM
One Of the largest farms out on the
St. Paul & Pacific Railroad has
been sold the present season to DR..
Southerland Of Poughkeepsie, n.
Y. The sum obtained was S3l, 900
in cash, including the growing crops.
This however, did not include the
stock of which we understand from
Mr.. John Swanson, there were
some 75 head. The farm is close
to Morris, in Stevens county, and
is considered one of the best in the
State. The present crop is expect
ed to yield some $4,000 bushels OF
wheat and as much or more OF oats.
OF the $3.50 acres in the tract,
about 1000 are under cultivation.
We hope the new owner Will be a
worthy successor to our St. Paul
railroad president. It seems the
General has not given up farming.
A large tract has been selected
farther west with a design we be-
lieve of gong largely into the bust
ness of stock raising.-Minnesota

LUSCIOUS APPLEs.-It has been
abundantly demonstrated even in
previous years that this region can
produce apples and those of fine
quality, too; but this fact has been
proven more conclusively this year
than ever before. We recently
alluded to the fine apples grown on
the premises of Mr.. John c. Hunter;
but w. W. Spalding has just shown
us some still finer and larger apples
raised on one of the trees near his
house. These apples would be con-
sidered beauties, even in Michigan
or New York. Some of them are
now on exhibition at his store, near
Lake avenue, and they average III
inches in circumference and are OF
delightful favor, and the tree
from which they came is quite
heavily loaded. 1t is doubtless true,
that apple trees do not bear well
here at as early an age as apple
trees do in states further south, but
that apples can be profitabIy raised
in this region no longer admits of q
shadow of a doubt; and the demon
stration of this fact removes one of
the main objections which the mis-
informed always urge against this
section and latitude.
Mr.. Spaiding also has a young
ounce bush in his garden which is
quite full of ounces, and if the frost
keeps off, a week or two longer,
they too, viii be saved in good
shane.-Duluth Tribune.

CRoPs ON RAINY RIVER, From
an article in the Alberton Star we
take the following account of the
crops in the country $50 miles di-
rectly north of this place: "The
crops in this section look well, and
will III our opinion, compare favor
ably with any other part of the Do
minion, both as regards quality and
quantity to the acre. In passing
through the settlement a few DAYS
ago we had a chance to view the
crops on the different farms, and to
satisfy ourselves on one point, viz !:
as a productive country it comes
fully up to our expectations and is
certainly entitled to be called the
garden Of the west. Wheat, oats,
barley, rye and timothy, are a splen-
did crop; potatoes, turnips and car
rots are also good vegetables OF
various kinds are far beyond the
average crop, and had we a chance
to compete or exhibit with our sis
ter provinces at any Of the agricul-
tural exhibitions that yearly take
place throughout the Dominion, we
then could show that we do not
lack one particle of what is so
much desired by agriculturists, viz:
good climate, good land, water and
timber"

1t has cured a number of cases al
ter they had commenced bleeding

in clean bags. The medicine must
be continued from three to six
months, according to the nature of

SILVER ISLAND NINE. The ex-
hibition at the State Fair by Hon.
Edward Learned, of Pittsfeld,
Mass, President of the "Silver Is
land Consolidated Mining and Land
Co.." Of the finest specimens ever
brought to light from the bowels of
Lake Superior, has called fresh at
tention to this famous mine. Silver
Island in 1871, when active work
was commenced there, was eighty
feet long and seventy feet wide,
rising four feet above the level of
the lake, and swept by every storm
that has for ages dashed against
Thunder Cape, a few miles to the
westward. 1t now covers some four
or five acres, but the cost Of bring
ing the island to its present size has
been immense, S1,35O,00O. In 1872
the managers of the mine struck the
richest pocket of silver ore ever
at that time discovered, and
for time the yield was immense,
but these pockets being exhausted
the yield for five years was only
moderately profitable on account of
the great expense of mining, but
now the tide has turned, and on
the third, fourth and fifth levels
they are taking out ore some of
which is worth $4,000 per ton.
The deepest level, (the sixth) is
six hundred and fifty feet below the
surface, though the diamond drill
has pushed some two hundred feet
deeper. Their ore is mostly sent to
the Wyandotte Smelling Works
near Detroit, but they also have a
stamp mill on the main land mile
distant which cost 800, 900.
The present company was or
ganized only a few months ago,
with Hon. Edward Learned, Presi-
dent, and John J. Marvin, of New
York, Treasurer. They own no.
900 acres of land on the north shore
of Lake Superior, extending from
Pigeon river to Sault St. Marie.
Their capital stock consists of 40,-
900 shares, par value $500 each,
but none is on the market. The
total yield of the mine has been
nearly s3,000,000, for last August
alone $4,000. The present man
ayers having plenty of capital, do
not propose to confne their opera
tions to Silver Island, but have
already started the diamond drill
on Shangoinah Island, a mile dis
tant, and are sinking shaft on the
main lard. Capital, wisely expend-
ed, will soon prove the surprising
mineral wealth of the north shore
of Lake Superior.-Lake Superior
NeaoS.
