II seems something like a paradox that
while the streams are all booming and
pouring unmeasured floods into the lake
the water in Lake Michigan and Green
Bay should be unusually low; hut such
tx the fact. Think OF the torrents pour
ing out OF the Fox, Menominee, Oconto,
Peshtigo, the Suamicos, Pensaukee, Es-
canada and the smaller streams into
Green Bay, which have no more effect ON
bay or lake than dipping water into
them with spoon. After all that has
been written OF the ebb and flow OF the
water in the lakes, it is still unaccounted
for.-Green Bay Advocate.

PAINT DRIVE. May Ia, 1888.
Editor THE DIAMOND DRILL,
DEAR Sm:-Driving, by means OF our
boys i'm blue and red Mackinaw's, has
been entirely suspended on the Paint
river, on account OF the recent rains in
that region which have raised the river
to a reasonable good driving stage. The
New York Co., which is driving that
stream this season, has discharged all
their men except the foreman, cook and
timekeeper and logs sail serenely down
the swollen current unmolested. Where,
once in years gone by, sixty men pream-
bulated the banks OF the lower Paint,
searching, and not In vain, for N jam,
there now one solitary man gazes at the
deserted camps OF his predecessors aud
as he YEARLY plods up and down the
stream, meditates on the marked adj
vaucement in driving which the sagacious
lumberman has made I'm the past lew
years Where once, n crew oil forty men,
tried but i'm vain, to keep the upper
Paint clear. There now the timekeeper
Jno. Curey, when not racking his brain
in setting down the sixteenth's and
twenty-fourth's silently sets on the
messy banks amid the delightful chirp-
ing OF the bull frogs, the roaring oil the
rushing waters as they madly dash by
on their maynard course TO the sen and
grins at the mighty monarchs OF the
forest TO keep them from iamming, and
while thus engaged almost murmers
aloud "Uncle Mike thou art truly great"
Where once IL took n crew of fifteen to
sluce the logs at the upper dam, there
now the cook, "a blithcsome young lad OF
some sixteen summers, dexteriously
manipulates pike pole i'm his tremen-
dious endeavors To keep her cldar."
But gentle reader, the Paint drive In not
on. yet and perhaps before the rear
moves these sagacious lumbcrmen will
be glad 20 solicit the AID oil a lew oil
orr ssboys in blue" That's what some
of the boys think. PIKE POLE.

MINING NOTES.

Despite the advanced season, and an
abundance Of low charters, the sales still
hang fire, the transactions barely cover
ing the daily furnace supply in theca OF
the smaller establishments, while the
large furnaces still control large and ex-
pensive stock piles. Bottoms are offered
mt $1.2O and S1.25 from the head of
Lake Superior, $1.15 from Marquette,
and eiehty-five cents from Escanaba, but
there is little demand for tonnage. Ii
must he remembered that the fleet Is also
short one trip, and the chances are that
second trip will be lost therefore the
long-expected break i'm the market occurs.
The ore men, finding little demand, do
not seem anxious To make n market,
and, as the consumers ARE still holding
off, the marker IN characterized by AN
entire absence OF activity. Republic ore

that nom Bessemer hematites OF fair
quality may be boughtat$4. Oredealers
generally report frequent inquiries, but
not prices that would serve asan induce
ment TO the producers. Coke continues
TO sell ut 81 at the ovens, which makes
the cost $3.50 per ton i'm Youngstown,
and $3.10 in Cleveland. The demand,
however, is light, and coke operators are
preparing for some sort Of a conference,
with view To patching up n truce and
making n S1.50 card.--Cleveland Iron
Trade Review.
The Monitor mine was started up ON
Monday last and will undoubtedly be
actively wrought during the summer,
depending whether the ore can be dis
posed OF. The ore Is "a high grade non
Bessemer and one that will find ready
sale after it becomes known ON the
market. The mine lies Immediately west
OF the Paint River mine and is u con-
timiatio OF that vein.
The Nanaimo mine didn't commence
shipping last week M expected, owing to
the lack Of cars and engines. The ore il
being stocked, and the mine is being got
in readiness TO do good work when ship
ping begins. The rooms are being cleared,
and the work Of drifting and cross cut
ting is being pushed. The mine is expect
ed TO make fair record this season.
Reporter.
The Caledonia mine, on the Michigan
me river, about seven miles from this
city, il To be cleared Of water and work
resumed next month. The property has
been idle about "a year. The ore is a
Bessemer and il is claimed that there il
plenty of il to be had. The mine has the
promise OF spur track from the Milwau-
kee * Northern.
Some work will probably be done dur
ing the summer at the old Delphic prop
erty. The ore pinched out some time
ago and the new workers will endeavor
TO find more with diamond drill.
No work il now being done ut the south
Mastodon, better known as the Man

water than could be taken care OF.
Machinery is TO be put in place and

No work towards placing the plant OF

been done.

Getting Something for Nothing.
bill Arp.]

My Memphis friend told he about
old John bass, of Troup County, who
was q good Old hardshell Baptist, but
in an evil moment was pursuaded to
buy 4 lottery ticket. Sure enough it
drew prize Of twenty-five hundred
dollars Before he received the money,
the brethren heard of his sin and noti-
fed him to appear and be tried for
gambling. The day he was to be tried
he went to town early to see if the
money had come. 1t was there and
he got it. Never before had he had as
much as fifty dollars at one time, and
he was crazy with delight. He stuck
the roll of bills in his bosom and took a
big drink of whisky and rode back to
the church and up to window, and
asked what they was all a doing in
there. They told him they We're trying
him for betting agin 4 lottery. He
pulled out the big roll and shook it at
them, and said land I won the bet,
too, and I'd druther stay outside with
the money than inside without it."
Well, it ruined him just like it ruins
everybody who gets something for
nothing.
