IT LEAVES THE PARTY.
from the Laclede Laconic.]

AS the term goes, the Laconic with this
issue ceases to be a republican journal: ALI
hope for the maintenance Of the principles Of
the party died when the news was received
that James G. Blaine had become the rePub-
We believe that the most honorable act a
man can do when he finds that he has been
associated with q party that has been and is
still making success the highway to corrup-
ton, is to leave it. We do so, n with no
feeling of regret OF conjunction. We have
served it twenty years, longer possibly than
we should, the history of the party as q whole
taken into impartial consideration.

house 50x25O, cement mill, 40xS0, engine
and boiler room, 40x40, cooper shop, 4OX125,
all two stories high, beside office, blacksmith
shop, room for twisting engine, etc. The

of the kiln from the side tracks of the differ
ent roads which enter their yard. The prac-
tic tests in quantities have fully equaled
expectations of the company who began to
manufacture towards the close of last sum
mer, and the coming year will see lively
times at the cement works. The following
chemical analysis, made by Prof. E. 7. Cox,
state geologst of Indiana, and a competent
analytical chemist, assisted by some English
gentlemen OF six different brands of cements,
including FIVE Portland cements of English
and German manufacture, and the Mankato
cement is herewith presented:

regions of this southwestern section of the
state for the support of the dairy The rich,
luyuriant native prairie grasses furnish not
only splendid pasturage, upon which the
cattle feed with the greatest relish, but the
quantity of the milk produced from herd Of
a given number of COWS, surpasses that of
those pastured on the finest of tame grasses,
while the quality of the butter and cheese is
of most superior degree of excellence
Vast quantities of hay are annually cut
and pressed for shipment, while
enormous quantities stand uncut
with each successive season.
MINERAL RESOURCES.
The formation at and near Mankota is a sub
iect full of the deepest interest to biologists
and of vast Importance 10 the city, as in the
different stratas are contained the elements
of enormous wealth which are to be found at
no other point in Minnesota or the north
west.
The most thorough, careful and painstak-
ing researches continued for years have
failed to discover in this vicinity any cvi
dences of drift The unmistakable evidences
which marks their presence elsewhere do not
exist here, and we are compelled to believe
that the glacial period must have been omit
ted for the purpose of leaving the formation
pure and free from foreign substances that it
might be made available for means use.
The formation may be termed Glover siluri-
am with each strata as before stated free
from all impurities. It's rock clays and sand
form the chief elements of value.
MANKATO STONE.
The rock formation at Mankato has thus
far been utilized for three distinct purposes,
Wis. for building and bridge stone, for burn
ing lime and latterly for the manufac-
ure of cement. The building
and bridge stone which the
quarries north of the city and partially within
its limits contains is in exhaustible in amount
and of superior quality to any stone found
anywhere in Minnesota or the northwest for
building or bridge purposes. The following
table prepared by W. B. Craig q Co., de-
scrptive of the several kinds of rock which
their Empire ledge contains, will be found
accurate:
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1884-03-05
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES.

The agricultural resources of the country
Immediately surrounding Mankato are both
rich and varied To the north lies the heavy
timber belt, the last barrier between the
sweep of the ocean of rolling prairie and the
rest of the world, rich in its wealth of native
timber, oak, ash, elm, maple, Eastwood,
poplar and other woods, and of deep, rich
and wonderfully productive soil, while east,
south and west the famous prairies
of unsurpassed fertility stretch
out like the broad expanse of the ocean, ca
pable of sustaining an untold population.
Within radius of twenty miles from Manka-
to the farmer from the heavily timbered dis
tricts of Michigan, Maine or any other
northern state, can find the counterpart of
his old home farm or can locate upon the
broad prairie, of which he has heard so
much In fact any kind of a farm suitable
for any species OF system of agriculture can
be found here, and the agricultural resources
of the country surrounding Mankato can
fairly be said to be rich, rare and varied,
and without an equal in the
same extent of territory anywhere.
Particularly well adapted are the prairie

A careful inspection of this table will
show that the Mankato ground stone cement
compares very favorably with the best made
Portland cements, possessing but 5000
per cent. of the worthless substances while
it has an average of essential parts equal to
the best of the cements Sith which it is
combared. The recent test at the office of
Burnham, Burr & Co., who handle cement,
sewer pipe, etc, at Minneapolis, made upon
the city testing apparatus with briquette
ten minutes in air after mixture and IS
hours in water broke at $50 pounds tensile
strain to the square inch.
The following similar tests made by differ
ent persons at different places show as fol-

A grade of sand said by experts to be of
the character necessary to make glass has
been discovered, and samples sent east for
tests have produced the most satisfactory re-
