A VIEW ON DULUTH HARBOR.

st. Louis river and on both the north and
south shores of Lake Superior there are by
careful estimate over two billion feet of
pine lumber. There has been a shortage
in the cut this year, owing to general de-
preston of trade and cut freight rates from
Chicago. There has besides been a large
loss by fire. The total cut for 1884 was:
Of lumber, 2o5, coo, 600 feet; of lath, 81
O1O, coo; of shingles, 81, 100000. The log
crop for 1884 was 14G, 400, 600 feet. This
year it will be in the neighborllood of 100,-

The surplus grain of all this magnificent
country, embracing the best known hard
wheat belt of the world, must have water
transportation at the nearest point, and
herein lies the key to Duluth's greatness.
The first cargo Of wheat shipped from
Duluth was transported on the steamer
Winslow, in August, 1870. The wheat was
sent by rail from Southern Minnesota and
loaded from cars directly into the steamer
for shipment to Philadelphia. These first

AS speculative market the development
of Duluth is something extraordinary, there
being closed out daily at present from $780,
900 to 1000, 600 bushels. Orders to buy or
sell 100, 900 bushels at time are not infre-
quent, and the transaction is closed in less
than quarter of minute upon the board.
The Duluth
BOARD OF TRADE
includes membership of 200, many Of the
members being prominent grain dealers in
st. Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee,
Buffalo and New York. 1t was organized
in 1881 with membership of 10, aud the
present price of a ticket is fixed at $500, the
original figure having been 500. The
members as rule are active, shrewd and
enterpriSing, but appear to conduct bust
ness in a quiet way compared with the
bowling style adopted in New York and
Chicago. The only change from this method
yet chronicled was introduced during the
fluctuations of AnglO-Russian war excite
ment. But, although moderate in tone, a
majority of their transactions are, as has
been previously indicated, of the extensive
order,
On May 1, the clearances at one bank
alone amounted to Sc, 731, 29S.71. The
amount of telegraphing required to transact
the business of correspondents and custom
erS is extensive. In one month alone it
amounted to upwards of $4,000.

boulder has perched upon it a picturesque

street of the cty-Superior street-lined on

work approaches of several railroads.
Beyond them lie the great coal. elevator and

it were dirt and not more precious than
GOLD OR SILVER.
Before being put through the cleansing
process, however, there is more or less dirt
mixed with the wheat, and as it flies off with
the wind created by its transit through space,
the air becomes charged with an extremely
irritating and dirty load of minute particles
This dirt is very hard on the throat and
lungs, and some of the men wear muZzles
or respirators made of tin and oalum,
through which the air is filtered
Between Elevator B and its storehouse
runs belt OF four-ply rubber, four feet
wide and 800 feet long, said to be the largest
belt in the world Upon its upper surface,
followed as it passes over cOncave rollers,
is transported the wheat at an exceedingly
rapid rate. Before the wheat is put into the
elevator it is inspected by an inspector, who
LEAVES A TICKET
in the car, specifying the grade. When it
is shoveled into the elevator pit, the fore
man below makes out ticket headed as fol-
lows, and also enters it upon book:
Number of scale, letter of car or bags, num-
Der Of car or bags, grade, test weight, num-
Der of bin, remarks.
This ticket is put into box
and sent up stairs to the weighmaster, who
also keeps record of its contents. By it
he knows what scale to weigh it in, where
to put it after weighing, its con-
dition, etc. If dirty, it is sent down
to the cleaning bins, after which it goes to
the separator. This last process usually
takes out from two to two and half
pounds for every sixty. When car load
of grain arrives at the elevator it is in
spected, weighed and receipted for. These
grain receipts are good as bank notes, regu-

The system consists of six elevators and
two warehouses, as follows: Elevator A,
built in 1870, with capacity of 565, 900 bu;

Besides these there are now being built two

which will be completed by September,
with a capacity of ], 800, 900 bushels each.
This will give total storage capacity of
S,515. 900 bushels. A visit to these great
structures is of exceeding interest. Through
the open doors below the stranger can fol-
low the railroad track, where it passes from
end to end completely through the elevator.
Overhead in the cool darkness is a forest OF
timber and iron beams supporting the enor-
nous bins. From above depend long ten
tular arms Or tubes, which absorb i'll con-

is shoveled from the car into
pits below by means of huge
scoop shovels drawn by steam and con-
trolled by man. From the pit it is drawn
upward into bins, where it is weighed,
spOuted downward into cleansing machines
and thence whirled aloft again into storage
bins. Sometimes before it reaches a place
of rest the wheat traverses the height of the
building up and down several times. 1t is

win patti warble Here,


Manager Rhodes received last evening
a letter from Col. Mapleson, who inquiries
regarding the desire Of Cheyenne people
to hear the celebrated singers under his
management Col Mapleson will take
Patti, Scalchi and Emma Nevada, the
recent remarkable debutant, to the Pa
ciic coast about the latter end of Febru-
AIRY. To stop over in Cheyenne he de-
mands a certain guarantee Of $1,000 for
PATHS performance and one-half that
amount for Nevada's appearance. The
opportunity to hear Madame Patti in
Cheyenne is one that is very rarely pre-
sented and the chance is one that should
not be let slip if it is within the range of
possibility to secure her. Madame Patti
is undoubtedly the foremost singer of the
age and to have simply heard her MARBLE
forms an important epoch in an ordinary
life. The amount necessary to be insur-
ed, however, is so great that Manager
Rhodes is naturally a little 10th to enter
into any definite arrangements until he
discovers how determined the public is to
hear the divine Patti. The opportunity
to hear the great diva should not be per
mitted to go by u~nimproved.
