and they will do all this after making q
days march. During this expedition
they danced through one night. to the
discomfort of our soldiers, who were
trying to sleep, marched all day, and
climbed places where coyote would
have trouble In getting. Ihaye known
them to run suddenly on quail and
kill it with 9 stone, and run down u
woundsd antelope. They are just as
much smarter than other Indians as
any body could be. They have wonder
fully good oyesight, being able to follow
traiE on q starlight night as we'll as /
could in daylight. Evidences oftheir
prcwess are visible all through that
country, and they and the Mexicans
have been fighting for hundreds of
years, and upon every hand are to be
seen the remains OF Pueblo settlements
which have evidently been wiped out
by the Indians, and it is a tradition
among the people'ofthat section that the
Apache is unconquerable. Yet they
have wiped out every band OF Pueblo
Indians, except the Moquis and Zunis,
whom I am satisfied are the same class
Of people. I have seen these fellows
ambuscade in a place as level as floor.
There was wagon train in 1871 going
out of Arizona into California, with an
advance. The Indians saw them coming
and ambuscaded in the road, which was
! perfectly level, with here and there q
their stomachs, threwtdust over them
selves and tied grass in their hair AMI
were passed by the, escort unnoticed.
After the escort was some distance off
the Indians jumped I'D and captured the
WAGONS in the rear and killed the team
sters. These fellows,take all the chances
whereas other Indians seek q place
where they will be safe and shoot the
enemy. Peaches. our principal Apache.
guide, knows that whole country, and
we left everything TO him. l was not
afraid to trust him, and I believe Il am
the only man who has used these In
1ians against each other. do not know
now to describe the way it is done, but
I never met case of treachery. ihaye
taken these same Indians in a
battle who, were in open arms
against me and have had them to
turn around Immediately against their
own people. Peaches came in on that
raiding party that killed McComas and
took their little boy prisoner. Just
before the expedition had started out
he was brought to me in irons. took
the irons of, and he accompanied US
and did the most valuable service, for
he was the only man who knew the
strongholds of the hostiles, and be led
us directly into them. Peaches is a full
blooded Apache Indian. and member
of the Chiricahuas band. He had two
wives among the Chirieahuas. Peaches
did not, of course, know the names of
the mountains, and, like all Indians. has
no idea of distance as to miles. He COM
pntes distance by the days travel, and
that is very uncertain, so that we could
not form any idea of how far down We
had to 60 when he put it upon the ba-
sis OF number of days travel it would
require to bring US to the objective
point, as some days we travelled further
than other days.

trate how this can be done, it will be
necessary to refer to what is being
done at this time from Chicago by
lake. canal and river to New York.
The distance by this route is' Lake,
900 miles; canal from Buffalo to Troy,
352 miles, with II locks Ito feet long,
Is feet wide. 7 feet deep, with 655
feet lockage. with boats carrying 2l0
tons; and by Hudson river. $50 miles
to New York, OF ,422.m ! IN all.
The average rate per bushel for
transportation by this route during
the season Of 1882, was7 cents, SO
mills, OF $500 per ton Of 1000 pounds,
or less than mills per ton per mile.
When the Fox and Wisconsin river
route is open, freight can be carried
ut pro rata from the Mississippi to
Green Bay. l do not expect this
route to carry all the produce of the
upper Mississippi to Lake Michigan,
but it Will control the rate of trans
poItation between these waters, and
that is Of the utmost Importance, for
it is not possible to foresee what may
be the condition of things in the
future.

Cheap transportation.

The plea of Capt. Blakely. of Saint
Paul, for Cheap transportation, pre-
scented before the Chamber of Com
MERGE of that city, is a strong one
and should receive the attention of all
thinking persons. He advocates the
Fox and Wisconsin river route. and
urges the appropriation necessary for
the construction of the seven miles OF
canal necessary to complete the route
to Lake Michigan. TO quotes.
This route from the mouth of the

the Portage is liz miles, rises 100 fee t
to that point, and has two-mile cur
rent. From Portage to Green Bay 1t

That the Sun, may one of these days,

In Paris recently quite an interesting
experiment was made in this direc-
ton, and during four hours of an al
ternoon there were printed, on an
average, five hundred copies an hour
of journal especially prepared for
the occasion, and called the Sun Jour
nal. The distinctive feature OF the
apparatus is in the form of reflector
or insolator, by means of which the
suns rays are concentrated on the
boiler or other object to be heated
1t is scarcely thought that this little
experiment will just yet revolution
ize the art of printing, but 1T may
enable us to judge how useful
these insolators may become IL

The following letter will be of con-
siderable interest to the residents of

to hear from any of our readers on
this question and will cheerfnily pub
lish any communication on the SUBJ
ject:
To Secretary of Stevens County
agricultural Society:
We beg to call your So
ciety's attention to the fact that the
beet sugar industries are not in their
experimental stages, but they are
manufacturing one-half the sugar
consumed in the world. Do you not
consider that the dairying and agri
cultural Interests Of your state would
be benefited by general sugar beet
cultivation! We are convinced that
if the state and county agricultural
societies would take hold, ere many
years, the United States would manu-.
facture all the sugar its people con-
sumo. Hoping We may hear from
you. LEWIS s. WARE.

II was felt ten kilometres away, while
the report was heard at Verona anil
Piacenza, many miles distant. When
they had recovered from their fright
the peasants hurried 70 the spot, and
found clean hole about three feet
decprunning i'm an obliquc direction from
north-northeast; and on digging down
they came To solid block, in the form
of a truncated cone, weighing from four
To five hundred pounds. The surface,
which was still hot, and emitted n
SulphurOus smell, was covered with a
grccnish black crust, full of small holes,
such as would be made by finger-tips In
a soft paste, which may haye. given rise
To the report that one of the fragments
bore the impress of hand. The
proprietor of the clover-field in which the

On subsequent search by Prof. Bonn
