iaDorer getting job whenever he could
unloadlng vessels, or any thing, in fact, he
couiu ma, but work around the docks was
Wnat ne most looked after, and this fact
was indirectly the cause of his streak OF
luck. Lying outside the harbor of Duluth
was the nearly submerged hull of vessel.
No one appeared to know how long it had

called, was considered one of the features

many a Duluth 10y when he could saw he
had been able to ,lch ''the wreck - This
was another link in the chain of Barton's
luck. He had son who, with the other
boys, made daily excursions through the
summer out to the old hulk, and one day
this son brought back with him one of the
bolts and a piece of wood that had become
loosened. BY chance the father saw the
bolt, and he asked the boy some questions,
she result being that he himself
made trip out to the wreck in
small boat, taking an axe with
him. After this excursion, Mr. Barton be-
gan making inquiries about the old boat, but
could get no information as to when she ar
rived there, or when she was sunk, or
where she came from. He also managed to
get permission from the authorities to re.
move II, the permission being the more
readily given as it was in the way of some
proposed harbor improvements. Mr. Rar

saws, long-handled axes and hooks, to de
tach piece after piece and get it ashore.
plilng 1t up in the yard that surrounded his
cabin. 1t took him nearly the entire yea
OF 1874 to do this work, but it proved profit
able job. That bolt the boy had brought
home was solid copper, and it opened the
father's eyes to the possibilities His in
vestigation showed him that all the bolts in
sight were of the same metal, and when he
had completed his labor he had secured
many hundreds of pounds in weight of
valuable copper. Besides this, he had in
the cords of wood piled up on his lot a value
that proved a great surprise to him. The
vessel had evidently been of foreign build
for she was composed of number of differ
ent and valuable woods, the bulk of 1t being
teak, a specie of oak, but there were large
quantities of mahogany, some rosewood and
little ebony. Altogether it was a good
years work. He found ready market for
his copper bolts, and the wood going of
piece by piece brought him nice little SUN.
1t was this money that gave hIn his start III
life, and he was shrewd enough to make
each dollar multiply and increase.
