HITCHCOCK & Son.

The high winds of last week made
prairie fires well-nigh unmanageable.
We are informed that wide strip of
prairie is burnt over from point on the
Cottonwood, all the way to Granite Falls,
extending to within few miles of town.
One farmer we'll known here lost all his
hay and grain-about 1900 bushels of
grain and 80 tons of hay-on Friday
Other losses of hay are reported, but
none so serious as the above. In this in
stance every precaution had been taken
to protect the place, but the high wind
swept the flames with such resistless
force that the fires would jump over
whole rods of the fire guard.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1880-10-14

Several persons have spoken to us late
ly about the danger from fires to which
Redwood is exposed. The pararie grass
is unusually rank, and dry as tinder. The
testimony of those who fought fire dur
ing the high winds of last week shows
that no ordinary barrier can be relied on
at such times. There are number of
exposed points, notably the elevators and
lumber yards, which ought to be protect
ed by fire guards, or at least by night
watchmen during this season of danger.

Not on,v those d;rectlv Interested

Not only those directly interested, but
many others, will find the school report
in this number instructive. Among
other things, it shows that the boys have
made poor record in attendance during
the month, and that about four -fifths of
the pupils in the grammer grade are Of
'tother sex. This will never do. Re-
member. boys. that the eyes Of Redw ood
are upon you. and that you arc expected
to do credit to your sex.

THE LITTLE P~ITTSBURG.

1t is not at all times coinmendable tor the
people of one mining camp to jubilate over
the misfortunes of another. Whenever a rich
mine plays out in any section Of the country
mines in other localities whose permanence
and value have been we'll established are for
a time regarded with natural suspicion by
intending investors who enormously imagine
that what is true of one mine is true OF all.
The failure of one mine therefore, no matter
what may be its location, is a misfortune
seriously to be deplored, and is a blow at the
general prosperity of the new industry. II
carefully conducted, however, mining is a safe
and legitimate business, and is1ar more prof
table than any other in which moneyed men
can invest. The recent failure of the Little
Pittsburg mine of Leadville, in reality should
not decrease faith in the future of mining IN
this country. Besides their own, intelligent
men should learn by the experience of others,
and when they lose money by not following
its simple teachings, they are deserving OF
little sympathy and should be accorded none.
The experience of miners for the past twenty
five years on this coast teaches that blanket
mines are not safe for capitalists to invest in,
and those who, disregarding this we'll Known
fact, recklessly put their money into
the Leadville mines and lost it can
consistently blame none but themselves.
But it is an il! wind that blows nobody good,
and the following from the New York Eren-
ing Mail, one of the best of our mining eX-
changes, by the way, shows the natural result
of the Little Pittsburg collapse:
That the break in the price of Little Pitts
burg stock has weakened this market, as one
of investment, is true. But we are satisfied
that such q result is but temporary in its eff
fects. If it shall reduce the number of min
ing properties offered and of the prices asked,
it will be desirable. Probably it will, and in
this regard it cannot be regarded as all un-
mixed evil. There is no reason whatever for
a serious check it should cause, however,
greatest care in all preliminary inquiries.
Leadville has now got ample Groom and
verge enough " to work out her own saliva
ton. We believe that her mines will con-
tinue to rapidly add to the dividend payers.
1t will be the part of wisdom, though, for
Leadville owners and promoters to more
Systematically develop their claims before
offering them in whole or in part in Eastern
markets. Attention is likely TO be concen-
trated more closely by current incidents on
mines elsewhere, which, as an old Californian
recently and quantity expressed it, shave
strength enough to stand up, and not lay over
on their back" In other words, the perma-
nent assure veins are sure to grow in favor
We are satisfied that the mine-investing inter-
est has hardly more than begun. 1t is, how
ever, infused with more caution, and it is
looking elsewhere than Leadville with more
attention than has been the case of late.
