| The poor widdcr, last week, puts Ia
one Of his we(a)kly lies in regard t.

takes all the credit to himself, as usti-
al. Now, the truth Of the matter is,
that he Is entitled to no credit what
ever. A business concern In baldwin
IL persistently boycotting the SrAR,
and IL hiring an "educated f0cl" to
write the items of news for the widder's
half cent sheet. The whole aim and
object of this business firm has heen
and IL to destroy the home paper out of
spite. Not because the STAR had i''-
jured the firm IN any way, but because
the paper had protested against dis
graceful performances IN Baldwin
schools. Tie object ofthe firm IN fur
nishing the local items Is to secure as
many subscribers over ON this s!,le of
the county us possible for the wi'ldsr,
and draw all possible support from the
STAR. Lusk has been and Is nothing
but a tool In the hands of this firm.
So is the stripping who writes the
items. 1t makes no difference how
many lies the widder publishes against
the interests of the citizens Of Baldwin
and the greater part ofthe territory Of
Lake county; just as long as he can
be used by the firm as tool in its silly
attempts to extinguish the STAR, he
will be thus used aud the more he

the contemplate position he occupies.

Uncle Sam Has Got the Tin.

The arrival of shipment of tin ore
from the Black Hills of Dakota at Chi
cago is an important event in the mining
annals of the country. Precisely this
commodity has been hitherto lacking to
round out the category of useful metals
that are yielded by the mines OF the
United States. The value OF tin
as factor ia our manufacturing
operations has been constantly growing.
Its use in various new industries nOta-
bly, that of the food-canning description
has made it indispensable, while the
cost of this metal has increased pari
passu with the demand Last year alone
not less than $50, 900, 900 was paid o,It,
mainly to Great Britain, for the sheet tin
which is largely consumed in the canning
factories of this country. The discov-
cry, therefore, of large deposits of tin ore,
of excellent quality, in Dakota, and also
in Montana, is fact of wide-reachng
consequences to the general welfare.
The tin deposits of Dakota, from which
the first fruits ha, e now been placed on
the market, are reported to cover an area
of more than 1000 square miles. They
are situated at Harney's Pelk, and the
ore is found within belt varying in
wild from two to four miles. The ore
crops out, it is said, in veins from ten to
200 feet wide, and is s.very easily mined.
The geological features of the region are
not dissimilar TO those of Cornwall
England and other we'll known tin pro-
ducing localities. .-NeWarG IN ~ A&.

IA time will come when lumber viii
be scarce" said large dealer the other
day to New York Mail md Express re-
porter. This country is settling up 50
fas tlat forests are destroyed to maks
way for the fields. The annual suppEes
from Maine, Minnesota, Georgia. Florida
and other States will in n few years ba
exhausted. The fine woods, such as ma
hogany, ebony, walnut, cherry, ash and
rosewood, are much in demand. Men
who own lands that furnish any of this
fine timber in abundance are wealthy.
The lumber trade of this city alone is
$4,000, 900 annually, a ID is considera-
bly, in excess Of the cotton trade. There
is more money invested in the lumber
trade in New York than is popularity sup
posed. Tinker is high, especially the
finest grades. Mahogany seems to have
the call in demand at present, closely
followed by cherry and ash. Spruce is
picking upin price and can be purchased
at s17 and $40 per cargo, wholesale
rates. The yellow pine found largely in
Florida and Georgia is fast becoming a
great trade Ebony wood has been dis
covered in large quantities in the Grand
Chaeon, q vast wilderness in the Argen-
tine Republic. However, that is too far
off to be of much service to our dealers.
Fine timber is always salablc and com.
