celle de la chasse.
Lorsque j'eus l'honneur de le %connaf-

Processes c~ynegetiques de sa jeunesse.
De tons ses hauts fats, j'ai gard6 la

II leya la tete ct apercut un magnif-

revint vers Seuilly par n coulee, ayant

our delegate and friends in Washington
may understand that no such bill should
be allowed to pass if it can be prevented.
DO you ask why it will work particular
injury, we will tell you. =
In the first place if raw tin can be-
brought in TO New York free of duty
1t can be laid down there at less cost
than it can be transported across the
country from Dakota, and if the Ameri-
can Tin Plate Association, or any other
company engaged in the manufacture of
tin plate, are protected by tariff of "a
per cent and can still buy their raw tin
from Cornwall or the Straits cheaper
than we, unprotected, can furnish it,
than will the tin plate men say, gentle
men Of Virginia and Dakota, We do not
want your tin, We are we'll supplied
from another source that suits us just as
well. No, the sight Of our vast tin
mines, though lying comparatively un-
developed, are yet the object Of our most
,anguine hopes, and admonish us that
this is a matter which requires our most
watchful attention.

The Eta Specimen.

One of the gratifying things We saw
during our late visit TO Br'falo Gap was
a huge sample of tin ore from the Eta
mine. 1t was stii. on the wagon, just as
it came from the mine, and was waiting
shipment to New York. 1t was beau
t,ful specimen, and we were told that ii
weighed 5000 pounds. The nature OF
the rock is what tin experts call green
greisen, composed of feldspar and quartz,
largely mingled with greenish stained
mica, while over all and through out the
whole mass, the brown, black crystals OF
cassiterite or tin-stone were exposed
looking like the raisins in mamoth
plum pudding. Put on exhibition in
New York it will make and excellent
card, attracting attention and showing
up the beauty and richness OF the Eta
tin mine.

Hon. John B. Raymond.

The community at large has been
shocked and greaved at the announce
lnent of the death of Hon. John b. Ray
mond, which occurred at Fargo Jan. 3rd
1886. There is no man probably better
known or respected in Dakota than
Mr. Raymond. He was our delegate
to congress where he worked hard and
efficiently in the interest Of the terri.
tory. His methods were always straight,
forward and open, and he performed a
feat which in these davs is seldom sue
cessful done, i. e., he walked through
the dirty pool of politics and came out
I'm defled and untarnished by any stain
of corruption. A brief his ory Of Mr.. BIS
career We reprint from the Deadwood
Times:
"John b. Raymond was born at Lock.
port, Niagara county, New York, Dec.
;, 1874; removed with his parents to
Tazwell county, Illinois, in 1853; enlist
ed from that county az "a private in the
thirty-frst Illinois infantry under Col

regiment after the siege of Nickburg in
1868: served through the war and re.
NAMED in Mississippi after the muster
out published the Mississippi Pilot at
Jackson. Miss. during the reconstruc.
tit of the state, and until 1877, when
he was appointed United States marshal
Of Dakota. At the expiration of his
term he declined reappointment, and
was elected 10 the Forty-eight congress
as republican, receiving 39,lO0 votes
against $500 votes for Judge w. w.
Brookings, democrat. He was married
at Nicksburg in 1865 to Mary kilkour,
of Indiana. who remained his partner
in life until the Goth of February, 1885,
when she died very suddenly in Wash
ington. Mr. Raymond leaves a family
of three children, boy aged eighteen
years, and two girls aged six and seven
years. The deceased was aged forty
one years at time Of his death.
