The Warner weekly sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1885, 1883-09-22

Some two years ago Mr.. Blaine was
put on the scent OF more than a million
dollars of property belonging to the de-
funct confederate government, but owing
to the non.committal propensity ofthose
that knew most about its whereabouts it
has never been unearthed. Now the
question is again revived, but it APP
pears that nobody knows ofa certainty
that the government had any great
amount of wealth, but it is taken for
granted that il ought to have had, and
so the conclusion is readily drawn that
1T did have. The amount is estimated at
the tidy figures Of $50, 0O0, 900, and it is
thought to be slowed away in various
English and continental banking houses.
Perhaps III inQuisition of some sort
might force some members of the old
confederate government to disclose what
they knew in the premises.

grain buyer or a cattle man from Old

the duplicate, stating that the first or
original has been lost or stolen, and deposit
it for collection, and have the banks corre-
spondent telegraph when paid. As soon
as the telegram reaches the sending bank,

folJo'oing from, the MiJooausee Sen
tineJ, august 9th:
The party of Wisconsin and New
York gentlemen who accompanied
President Pound, of the st. Paul
Eastern Grand Trunk, on an in
spection trip to Oconto and Green
Bay, returned to this city Friday
night and yesterday departed to
their respective homes All were
well pleased with the property in
spected, and delighted with the
tri p over the Milwaukee & North
ern Railway, a special car having
been furnished them by that COM
pany. The party consisted of
President 7. G. Pound, o. A. Ellis,
W. H. Young, George Boyer,
Oconto; D. G. Lamb, Fond du Lac;
NJ. Wescott. Shawano; L. G. STAN
ley, Chippewa Falls; G. J. Turner,
and N. &. Lindsey, New York.
These were also accompanied by
President Spencer and Manager
Dutton Of the Milwaukee & North
ern, Angus Smith and E. Ell.
Broadhead AS stated, this inspec
ton of the Grand Trunk property has
proven quite satisfactory to the gentle
men whom Mr.. Pound invited to
make the trip, and has further led to
a determination to put forth every
possible exertion to at once proceed
with the St Paul Eastern Grand
Trunks construction. The first move
will be to build the line into Shawano.
thirty miles beyond Stiles, the present
western terminus. This is probably
all that will be accomplished this
season, but, it is the design of the
company to push the work toward St.
Paul and reach that point during the
following seasons. The St. Paul
Eastern Grand Trunk Railway Com
pany was organized under the General
Laws of Wisconsin in 1879. The
terminal points of the proposed road
are at St. Paul on the west, and
Oconto at the east, afording a short
connection between the northwest and
the lake system. The grades of the
route are easy, one third of the dis
lance being comparatively level, but
very few inclines of the entire line
being over twenty-five feet to the mile.
The proposed route traverses a rich
section of Wisconsin timber land. and
as an intimation of what may be ex-
pected in the way of business, the
fact is cited that on the waters of
Green Bay alone this season there will
be 700, 100000 feet of white pine
manufactured, aside from other mill
products, such as posts, ties, etc.,
which will amount to one half as much
more. The new road now has a much
stronger backing than is generally
known, as will be seen by the follow
ing list of gentlemen who are fnan-
cially interested therein:
