REPORTED DISCOVERY OF SILVER
IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN. -MADI-
SON, Wis, June 6.-Reliable reports
were published week or ten days age
in the State Journal of the discovery
of valuable silver mines ir the Penoka
Range of Northern Wisconsin. This
discovery is fully confirmed tonight 10
the same paper by the Hon. Jack Tur-
ner, Railroad Commissioner, who saw
the Hon. John T. Kingston on the
Central Railroad on route for Milwau
kee and Chicago with carpet-sack full
of valuable silver specimens, which
Mr.. Kingston had personally taken
from the mines in the Penoka Range
The mine is located near Lake Gogeb
the precise location of which Mr.. King
ston would not devulge. Considerable
mining has been done, and the evil
dence is fully established that valuable
silver looes have been discovered. Mr.
Kingston, who is reliable gentleman,
we'll known in this State: also reports
the existence of copper, lead. iron, and
coal in the same region. There is loo
miles of the region where these mines
are supposed to be located that have
hardly ever been explored by white
men, and the existence of valuable
minerals has long been suspected. Mr.
Kingston told Mr.. Turner he dared

tonish the whole country,

dent had happened. What was it?
A fat and frisky little pig had escaped
from one Of the cars, and was gailop-
ing wildly over the cross-ties. Now
began an exciting chase. The fright
ened pig took to the fields, the drover
after him, while the brakeman looked
idly on and patiently awaited the cap
ture of the pig. The chase continuing
for considerable time, the brakeman
and finally the engineer took a hand in
it, the train meanwhile remaining sta.
t onary on the main line. Having
been unsuccessful, the engineer and
brakeman returned one by one to the
train-all but one brakeman who car
ried the baggage check book. After
waiting while for him, the engineer
concluded to leave him and the lost
| pig behind, and the train was again
put in motion. Arrived at the Epe.
ries, the passengers demanded their
baggage, but were informed that }.
could not be delivered, as the man
with the baggage book would not he
there until the arrival of the next train
and there remained nothing to be
done but patiently await his coming
That is the way they travel IN Hun
