Some time ago the commissioners Of
Nicollet county ordered the establish
ment of a road from Redstone, in the
town Of CORTLAND, to the free ferry
opposite this city, but some of the
parties over whose land the road
would pass, objected and appealed
from the order of the commissioners
to the district court, and the case
came before Judge Cox at the recent
term held in St. Peter. A motion to
reverse the order of the commissioners

The passenger train due here at 5:45
p. m. last Wednesday from the east
had a pretty tough time of it before
reaching Sleepy Eye. The train left
Winona behind time but everything
went we'll enough until Kasota was
reached. There "de troubles" began
by part of the train being thrown from
the track, causing an hours delay. At
Nicollet the engine gave out and after
an other delay freight engine was
substituted which, however, felt so
offended at being put in front of pas

to keep up steam and it was after ten
o'clock when the train pulled up at our
depot. The engine gave out entirely
before getting to the top of the hill
and the train was backed down to our
depot and another engine telegraphed
for. It was 3 o'clock Thursday morn.

A copy of the Geological and Natural
History Survey Report for 1878 has
been placed in our hands through the
kindness of the State Geologist Prof.
N. H. Winchell. Under Economic
Geology statement of the mineral and
agricultural resources of Northeastern
Minnesota is given. Copper occurs in
several forms but particularly as a ma
tive metal. The only systematic at
tempt at mining was made in 1863
and 1864 but for some reason soon given
up. That in Minnesota less mining is
being done in the silver bearing forma.

Winchell states is not due to the less
favorable indications, but to the great

Winchell thinks it highly probable
that these iron deposits will not long

prosperous farming. The region around
Vermillion Lake has for some years
been known as a gold region. In 1866
a flush of feverish excitement led to
the expenditure of considerable money
in sinking shafts and erecting mining
works. Three steam stamp mills were
erected, another, running by water
power; eight mining companies were
