THE SALT MINES.

lItE SALI MIN ESs
The numerous vallies of the rivers of
Michigan have like scenes, but they
are not all blessed with an underling
and inexhaustible spring of salt water,
which was discovered in 1859, about
1000 feet below the surface. l wish
to emphasize the value of this great
" fine" " to this, and other counties of
the State, some published figures, of
which I shall presently give from the
Detroit Free Press.
Salt wells and recovering salt from
sea water isas old as the hills. Com
pany after company failed at Lewes,
Delaware, in the experiment of recover
ing salt from sea water by evaporation
at so cents bushel. The salt interests
was the nucleus of the town of SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, where the water was so
heavy that it could be recovered easily
and cheaply by sun evaporation and
was of most excellent quality for
table and dairy use. In the Kanaha
Valley, West Virginia, large salt inter-
ests flOurished for years and supplied
the heavy packing houses of Cincin-
natti, Louisville, and st. Louis, at a
dollar and fifty cents a barrel, shading
above and below that figure, according
to supply and demand. But it was left
to the ingenuity of the Michiganers to
double discount those prices with
equally as good an article, bearing the
Saginaw brand. This was affected by
conceiving the idea of combining the
saw mill and salt work together, utiliz-
ing their great amount of waste steam
to boil dawn the salt "dips" in an
adjoining building. To use their ex-
preston "they got onto this racket
since the war;" and have made a signal
success, producing the same quality of
salt and reduced the price GO to 20
cents barrel for car load lots.
The success of this scheme was so
great that Artesian well diggers could
not work fast enough; every mill man
wanted one or more shafts sunk and
pumping attachments, tanks and store
houses built. l do not remember seeing
a saw mill to which there was not salt
works attached. asked an attendent
what his pump yielded a day, and he
answered fifty barrels. 1 said that is
not much salt water. He said, mean
fifty barrels of salt or makes that much
and two other mills to the same mill
which was one of the greatest lumber
capacity, claiming to cut $4,000 feet a
day.
A newspaper article is the least I can
do for your readers, but after I have
written it, it seems to but family con-
vey the enOrmity of the lumber and salt
interests of this State. l enclose the
figures of the State inspector for June,

Letter from Michigan.
ITS FORESTS AND SALT MINES.

Way back at the dawn of our cen
tury the name of Michigan, material
lied out of two Indian names-Mitch-
aw great, and Laegan lake, meaning
lake region or region of the great lakes.
At that time the name of Indian Ter
ritory and Northwest Territory, cover
ed the limitless region of the Iunexplor-
ed forests, stretching out to the Pacific
Ocean and not belonging to Uncle Sam
beyond the Northwest Territory of Vir-
ginia, out of which Ohio was named
and bounded by Congress in 1902, and
ever since the succeeding sessions of
Congress have continued the business
of naming, changing and localizing,
until all is about named up, and the
Indian Territory has grown beautifully
less, and the Oklahoma movement
would have annihiliated it altogether,
but the government would not permit.
History and romance will never tell
us of the suffering, the daring and the
endurance of the English speaking
frOntierman of this fair land. 1t looks
more like destiny than the deliberate
outgrowth of benign institutions of
civil and religious liberty and the COM
mon school. Before us the French
had it, and did little or nothing with
it; discouraged they sold thousands of
square miles for a song in the Louisiana
purchase.
As early as the 10th century they
had missionary stations scattered
throughout this lake region enthusiast
cally expecting to convert the aborigi-
nes of the forest, but the plan failed.
Then they caught on the idea of colo
nizing the country the first actual
settlement dates from Detroit, 17O1
Sixty years later found but little done
beyond an established trading post of
a group of rude houses and some clear
ed land; then in the destiny of con-
tending armies it was surrendered to
British rule and formally passed into
the possession of the United States,
July 1st, 1896.
Very soon the Congress of the old
thirteen States commenced bounding
and naming new Territories which
Michigan was when our country was
young and in her teens, and as noble
an army of axemen as ever swung
steel made an onslaught on the dense
forest, first for clearing and settlement,
and later for logging and numbering,
of which spoke in a previous letter
under the heading of "Billions OF
Boards"
l have just had a trip on a steamboat
on the Saginaw River from Bay City to
East Saginaw, and was not only deeply
impressed at seeing its banks strewn
with saw mills, hundred and sixty
was told in 16 miles, and almost the
entire distance consecutive booms OF
RATS of logs afoat, on either side, wait
ing their turn to be made into the
coveted board, The capacity of these
mills varied from one to three hundred
and fifty thousand feet a day, for say
seven or eight months in year, from
four to twelve millions of feet. In the
autumn when snow comes to cover the
ground, the milling force is transferred
to the woods for logging and hauling 8
supply of logs for another summer:

DEMENT,.

TIE Senate COMMITTEES on Public
Lands, on Saturday, took the case OF
surveyor-Genersl Dement, up again,
this time for the purpose Of learning
what the newspaper correspondents had
to say under oath. The correspondents
told their story last winter, but did not
swear to it. their word being regarded
as sufficient to justify any unfavorable
report on the nomination of Mr.. De.
ment IL will be remembered that in
defiance Of the adverse report of the
committee, the nomination was con-
.6rmed through the personal efforts Of
Senator Logan. and had IL not been for
a motion TO reconsider the vote. Mr..
Dement, would to-day be firmly fixed in
his office and laughing at the newspa-'
per chaps. Senators and Representatives
and people Of Utah whom he had so
grossly slandered. Some time ago the
public lands committee gave the gen.
tleman an opportunity to explain under
oath the allegations attributed to him
that a ring existed in Utah which had
for Its ject the frsudulenilyl getting
Of titles to public lands; that this ring
numbered in its membership, private
citizens and Federal officials: that the
Aormons maintained an influential
lobby in Washington and spent vast
sums of money for the purchase of
and Senators; that the
Saints had $4,000 invested in
/ well-known western Republican
and a lot more bosh OF
he same slushy character. Mr..
Dement, made tie denial that he said |
my such things and sent along his am
lsvit . few days ago. Yesterday the
correspondents were put upon the
tand, when they swore 10 the COM
uittee that Dement, had told them all /
hat they had published; they even
rent further and gave the committee
be names OF other gentlemen to whom
be loose-topgued Surveyor-General
ad detailed his cock-and-bull tale.
The outcome can hardly be any thing
lse than another unfavorable report.
Ihieh this time will assnredly be fol-
wed By the Senate's rejection !

or COURSE.

We doubt if anybody expected a diff
ferent decision than has been given by
the T, rriiorial Supreme Court in the
matter of the Offices of Territorial
Treasurer and Auditor. In the mind OF
. the public it was at once concluded
when the Governors oppointee
brought suit for the offices that the
courts would Dust the peoples chosen
officials and install those selected by
his late Excellency. The public, by
long training and severe experience has
fallen into this way of thinking when
any question arises involving the rights
of the people. Whatever may. be tie
law'in the case. in whatever direction
justice may point, the public at once
says: The courts will decide against
the people" So uniformly against
the people are the decisions
that when the matter comes
up, not few openly advocate letting it
go by default and as matter of course.
thus avoiding prolonged vexation and
saving lawyers fees and court expenses.
The present decision may be bad or
good law; it may be right and lawful
that in republic the people should not
elect their officers, and that the latter
should be designated by the enemies to
the people, but whet lit is law RUS
tice it is the opinio.. of the Federal
courts in Utah, and if taat opinion can
not be nulhied by higher tribunal, il
must prevail. In the present case, we
understand the intention of the iucum
bent officers is TO appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States. There is
some doubt as to the right Of appeal ly-
ing in the case, but If the suit can
be taken mp it should and un-
doubtedly will be. So far as the
Offices are concerned. it matters very
little to the people who are the officials.
To the gentlemen Immediately in
terested small salaries are involved.
The only thing the public is interested
in is in the right men holding the
Offices. When this question has been
settled by a tribunal with jurisdiction
and without the prejudice which makes
{ impossible TO decide in a way that
will not give rise 10 the suspicion tnat
is judgment has been warped, there
will be a general scquiescence in the de-
,isioR. The people. however. demand !

THE ORIGIN OF POLITICAL PAR
KIN 80 n TIES.


1t is natural for man to desire power
and covet authority. 1t increases his
importance, at least in his own estima-
zion. and usually in the estimation of
the populsce, if he can ex rcise domin
ion over his fellow man. On the other
hand there is a divinity within man
TO hate oppression with the strength Of
his whole soul. In seeking for the
origin Of great political parties, it will
be fOnnd that they spring from these
two dispositions implanted in the ma
ture of man. 1t has been the sad ex-
perlence OF the world that when men
are clothed with 8 little authority, they
exhibit tonce disposition to increase
their power and exercise unr:ghteous
Dominion over their fellows. But few
men can possess absolute power and at
tie same time refrain from becom-
ing oppressive. I'VE may say it
it is the natural disease of
al rulers 10 thirst Tor absolute do
