TENs1oN.-A reporter of the La Crosse
Republican and Leader recently inter-
viewed Mr.. J. NJ. Eyan, General Super
intendent Of the Southern Minnesota
Railway, and obtained information as
follows concerning the proposed extern
sion of the road next season:
Mr.. Egan stated that the contract
has already been made for the building
OF forty-live miles of track the coming
summer. This extension will be made
directly west of Jackson, the present
terminus OF the road. The line has not
yet been surveyed, but rs soon us the
frost is ont Of the ground Il surveying
party will be placed in the field and the
iine lal9 out. The survey concluded,
the work of building the road will be at
once taken up and prosecuted vigorous
~. The land grant to the Southern
Minnesota Extenson Company is on
condition that the road is extended to
the State line. Several years are We:
allowed the road i'll which to complete
the extension, but it is the intention,
as stated 10y Mr.. Egan, to build to the
State line this year provided that the
crops promise well and prospects gener-
ally are considered good. Eventually
the road will be extended to the Big
Sioux Valley in Dakota. but it will no
doubt be some time before the road is
built further west than the State line
The country that will be opened by this
years extension is equal to the best H.
long the line of the road and the bene-
fit it will be to the country through
which the road passes cannot he over

shows that where pine wood is used in

Rev. NJ. 11ulburd, of the first NJ. E..

whose name has had magnetic power

But he forgot to tell his Minnesota
hearers that Senator Window voted
with Blaine for the bill and that Sena-
tor Mcmillan voted against it. Blaine
and Window have gone on the record
as having more regard for the vote of
California than for the Chinese treaty
and the genius Of American institu.

PRECIOUS METALS.

Statistics Concerning Their Pro.
duction In the Past and Present.
Some very interesting figures on the
production of precious metals have been
given by DR.. Adolph Soetbeer. 1t is esti-
mated by good authorities that prior to
1892 there was no more than S165, 000, 900
of specie in Europe available for exchange.
Since that time aud to 1878, the produc-
ton of gold is put at So .6l2,193,0s7, and
of silver at 81, 1876, 429, 800. 1t is interest
ing to note the production of each century
since the discovery Of America. Before
that time the yield of all the mines Of the
world was less than the requirements
of trade. The modern history of gold
and silver begins with the unlocking
| of the stores of the New World by
Columbus. The total production in the
one hundred and eight years from
| 1893 to 1900 amounted to S50l ,693, 24S
gold, an average of 81, 645, 1907 per annum
and 1913. 024 900 in silver, an average of
SO, Cos, O45. For the one hundred years
from 1901 to 100 it amounted to $685.

A reporter OF the Gold Hill News Wis
tied the State Prison a few days since.
The substance of an interview with ALI.
Chartz is given as follows;
All. is making the best of his position.
and takes a philosophical view OF his stu
alton. He has not. however, fully recov-
cred from the effects Of the death of his
child. He says he submitted to his con-
fnement as a thing inevitable under the
circumstances aud received the informa-
ton OF the destruction Of bis home by the
big fire with n smile; bnt the news OF the
death Of his child Frustrated him and he
lost twelve pounds OF flesh. This he has
not yet recovered, but is looking well not
withstanding. His odd hours he il put
ting in in studying photography. and says
he can now take down the words faster
than a poor reader can read them to him.
He Expects a move will be made to secure
him a pardon when the proper time comes.
This he leaves entirely to his sister, Mrs.
s. G.. Carleton, Of Carson. who will act in
conjunction with his friends in Eureka.
There is nothing had about Chartz. and a
truer fri nd. more generous, wholf-soulel
fellow never lived. He acted under bad
a dvice. and doubtless sees so now, but the
community would be in no danger from
bis release. SEould he ever receive a par
don, he will leave Nevada and begin life
anew IN some place where his pen would
furnish him subsistence. The fire and his
ipi-fortunes have stripped him of every
thing he had except his wife and his
friends. These know him and cling to
him through all No man really bal at
heart can speak If wife and child as he did
during that interview on Sunday.
