The Cyclone.

So far as we have been able to de.
termine, this district has never had but
one cyclone. This cyclone is not of q
character that strikes terror to the soul
but on the contrary, is exceptionally
pleasing in its aspects. The cyclone re.
ferred to is newly developed tin lode
bordering upon the Tin Reef, near this
city, owned by Messrs. Butterfeld Dick
son, and Mckinney, and which, Judging
from the sample this week donated to
the CRoSICLE cabinet, which is literally
full Of the metaliferons object Of our
desire, is just the kind of a cyclone that
we would be pleased to encounter un-
staked, at any time. The hattering
sample may be seen at this Office.

The Wrlte-up

The Pioneer Press of the llth inst.
containing the elaborate and exhaustive
write-up of the Black Hills was received
at this office on Friday of last week. 1t
is probably the most complete descrip.
ton of the varied resources of the Hills
that has ever appeared in the columns
Of a public journal, and will doubtless
be the means of attracting much capital
in this direction. The article occupies
thirteen columns of the paper and is
accompanied by map of the Hills,
which affords the means of ready refer
ence to determine the locality Of the
various mineral belts. Referring to this
city the writer says
This is the county town Of the county
finest site for city of any in the Black
Hills, being in the centre of one of the
beautiful parks for which the Hills are
celebrated. 1t is also the highest city
in the Hills, being at an altitude of
nearly 5000 feet above the sea level,
and as a consequence the air is pal ticu-
larly pure and healthy. 1t is nearly sur
rounded by hills, but through them are
level roads, and here the pleasure seeker
may drive for miles on good roads,
something that cannot be said of any
other city in the Hills proper. When
gold was first discovered in French
creek, on the north bank of which the
town was built, this became the center
of a great mining camp containing its
thousands, but on the discovery of other
placer mining this place was almost
deserted, but few of the far.sighted
held on, and in the near future the
hopes which have been SO often blight
ed will realize their longings, and here
will be seen one Of the busiest, bustling,
pleasant cities Of the whole Black Hills.
This is the center of the great tin region,
and the main street is crossed by rich
lead of this metal. The town may be
said to be built on mineral. This town
will also become faverite summer
resort, as here may be found one of the
healthiest climates in the whole Black
Hills region, which is celebrated for it's
bracing, excellent ozone. There are
pleasant drives in all directions, and the
scenery is unsurpassed, as the southern
end of the Harvey Peak range comes to
this point, bold and majestic as it can be
seen anywhere. The hotels are first
class and possess every convenience for
the health seeker or the one in pursuit
of pleasure. In the immediate vicinity
Of the city are also to be found several
gold mines, from which large amounts
Of the auriferous metal has been taken,
and which are to be opened again
This, with the tin industry. cannot fail
in bringing back the prosperity Of the
old days.

The storm of Thursday last was the
worst of the winter, measured by losses
sustained. The railroads found it par
ticularly costly and trains were delayed
considerably. The telegraph lines were
badly demoraliZed, the ice which gather
ed on the wires breaking them in MANY
instances and even breaking d.
poles. From Centeryill- - choL
the line must > TO Sheooygan
nv ~ - ' practically, be rebuilt
-0 were strown all along the track
and the poles cracked and broken. The
running of trains had to be managed 10y
conductors and station agents. The
train dispatcher could not be heard from
and as all trains were delayed, all had to
crawl along in order to avoid accident.
Milwaukee was wholly cut off from St
Paul, and Chicago had only one wire
working to that city. The absence of
railroad disasters is really wonderful with
SO much working in the dark. All the
telephone lines in Sheboygan were wreck
ed, posts being converted into kindling
wood. Shade trees are almost ruined,
some having been split clear to the roots.
Others are badly shorn of their limbs.
Take it all IN all, it was the worst storm
of the year.

The following is the report of the Sea- ,.,r
OF the Manitowoc County Dairy Boar of Trade
ior inc season peetIlhlns ha' 18th, 1887 and end

The amount or milk consumed by the 80 chees,

pounds OF cheese were made. Total amount of
money received Tor same, Sl85 776.l0. The lowest

highest prlce paid was II &C. per pound average

There are about 20 cheese factories in Mani
tow2c county, of WHICH only 81 are members OF
the Dairy Board.
factories should compel his factorymsn to join
the Dairy Board of Trade, for it is to the benefit
OF the farmer ard factoryman to make this lead
ing market OF the state. Cheese makers of Man
1towoc county have made the best cheese in the
United States as it has taken the first and second
premiums at the Centennial Exposition in Phila-
delphia. Letters are received from California
business men stating that they never had from
elsewhere as good quality of cheese that
made by the factorymen of Manitowoc county.
which shows that this Dairy Board will be one of
the leading markets in the United States within
few years. Furthermore, the Business men of
this city who buy up cheese ought to put up
cooling house to store 1t and not have Ii sent to
Sheboygan for storage. Outside buyers COM
Ing to this ., market, have their cheese
Further, the cheese factorymen ought to compel
all the cheese buyers to pay for the cheese they
buy al our anu NOT at tile Drinks
of Sheboygan. The banks Ii this city have
money enough to pay for all the cheese manufac-
tured III this county. When factory man sells
his cheese to an outside buyer, it is shipped to
Sheboygan and examined; if found good, the sell
er Will get his money one or two weeks later from
the banks of She5oygan, but, If found upon
animation that one cheese is a little short
weight, or not of extra quality there is reduc-
ton made ard he is paid SO much less per pound.
1t would not pay the factorymen to go to She
boyGaG and investigate the matter. But if Mani
towoc had a cooling house TO store cheese, then
the factory man Can examine 1t and make salts
factory arrangements then. All the cheese would
be stored and paid for III this city and not al
Sheboygan. Furthermore If Manitowoc had
cooling house all cheese shipped from north and
west would be stored in thus city. If the buyers
store their cheese in this city they would save
the freight and handling to Sheboygan. The
cheese would be shipped from Manitowoc to Its
destination, and the buyer would save freight
and handling twice and would give this
city one of the best cheese markets, for Manito-
county is a good farming country.

1t is now said that the railroad COM
pany has decided not to build depot at
this place the coming summer It is con-
ceded that better accommodations are
needed, but the company cannot "get
around to the work" 1t is just as well.
The people of Manitowoc are of the meek
and lowly kind and have grown SO accus-
toned to turning the other cheek for an
additional blow, that they rather enjoy
playing the part of Smike to the railroad

compelled to ride to Milwaukee on the

WHILE the roads were good several
people in the city made contracts with
farmers for wood at 81 per cord. The
price Of wood "went up when the roads
became bad and not a single contract for
wood at the price agreed has since been
carried out. A number of suits are likely
to result as the parties are bringing wood
to market and selling it by the load while
those who were to be supplied are paying
dealers about $1.50 per cord more for
wood for immediate use, than what they
were to have it furnished by contract.
THE teachers meeting d. kiel on Sat-
urday last, was quite largely attended by
teachers from Calumet county. Outside
OF the village of Kiel there was only one
teacher from Manitowoc county present
during the entire day. During the after
noon one more was present. 1t seems
utterly impossible to coax or drive the
teachers in the southern towns of this
county to teachers meetings. School
boards have the power in their hands and
they should not hesitate to use it. The
teacher who cautiously refrains from do
ing any school work on Saturday cannot
well be driven from his purpose. But he
should find it difficult to get a position
in any school.
