Dakota Tin.

In the absence of any recent news in
the local newspapers touching the pres
ent operations of the Harvey Peak Tin
Mining and Milling Company, we are
glad to learn through the official report
of the British Consul at Chicago, says
the American Economist, the follow
ing important if true report of what
is being done under The very noses OF
our contemporaries in that quarter ar-
parently without their knowledge, in
the way of mining and smelling tin in
their yicinage, as reported by the
aforesaid Consul, by Mr.. Samuel Scott,
mining engineer, as follows:
1.-THE expense Of mining and treat
ing one short ton of ore is as follows:
Mining Is. I'd. Isl 90, concentrating IS
Id. t53 cents, smelling Is. al. t37a cts),
and incidental Is, I'D: total, IS. I'D,
which compares favorable with the cost
in Cornwell, while the mines are many
present in simple manner by crush
ing and recr,ishing the ore, and pass
ing it successfully through sleeves till
the required tineneSS is attained. a fine
yanner being used to separate the ore
and concentration effected by gravity
methods. The smelling is done III a
reyerberatory or cuDola furnace, and
the motion metal is then cast into
pigs.
From this Consulor report we also
learn that:
There are 900 or 400 men now. EN-
ployed, with 800. 900 tons of ore i'll eight
with, it is stated. an assay of IA per
cent, while selected specimens, 1t is
affirmed, have shown as much as 81 per
cent or even 10 per cent. \ la:ge con-
centrating plant and smelling furnaces
are being erected by this company,
which will probably be ready for work
ing in the summer.
The chief deposits of tin are found III
Custer and Pennington counties. The
veins vary in Widta from one foot to
more than 800 feet, the length from a
few yards to five miles, and the out
crop ranges from a few feet to more
than $50 feet above the surface. 1t is
said that at least ! per cent. of tin can
everywhere be depended on. Nuner-
Gus other minerals are found with the
tin. but at present attention is almost
exclusively drawn to the tin ore. The
necessary fuel for working the mines
IS found in abundance III the immedl-
ate vicinity; ineXhaustible resources of
bitnminouS coal exist on the outskirts
of the Black Hills and the vast petro-
leum fields Of Wyoming are at no great
distance.

DISCRIMINATION.
A Distance Tariff Law Would
Remedy the Evil.

AS0AAA>SsS 5SAA~ A/S AAs
The vigorous ''kick' which Min
neapolis is now indulging in over
the alleged late discrimination Of
the railroads against that city, is
not without it's satisfaction to citi-
zens of St. Cloud, Fergus Falls,
Fargo, Crookston, &c. Minneap-
oils claims that the railroads carry
grain to Duluth from points $50
miles farther than to Minneapolis,
at the same rate as to tho city at
the Falls. For years the railroads
have Disseminated in favor of st.
Paul and Minneapolis, and against
the other points named, but no
strong sense of Justice ever
caused the Twins to protest.
For instance, it costs a St. Cloud
merchant more than twice as much
for freight from Duluth to this
city as it does a St. Paul or Min
neapolis merchant, and yet the dis
lance is considerably less to ST..
Cloud. How is that for discrimin-
ation?-St. Cloud Times.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1891-09-17

WE can view with great COM
placency the so-called discrimina-
ton in railroad grain rates in favor
of Duluth and against Minneapo-
lis. Heretofore every railroad in
Minnesota has Disseminated in ia
vor Of the Twin Cities, now Min
neapolis knows how it is herself.
We have repeatedly called atten-
ton to the fact that car load of
freight can be shipped from Du-
luth, via. Princeton, to Minneapo-
lis and from Minneapolis back to
Princeton at lower rates than from
Duluth to Princeton direct, and
the distance from Princeton to
Minneapolis is fifty miles. The
wheatrbuyers, merchants and man
ufacturers of the towns and vii
lagos Of Minnesota are obliged to
pay tribute to the Twin Cities
owing to the outrageous rate dis
examinations in favor Of those
cities. The Union is a firm be-
lever in distance tariff law.
Under the present system the ter
minal points are built up at the
expense Of the interior towns.

THE United States imported 400, 597
bushels of onions the first six months
OF this year. The tariff on foreign
onions is now 40 cents a bushel, it
should be increased to $40. Our farm
ers are being ruined by panper onions,
and the horrid work must be stopped!
Farm, Stock d Home.
The sarcasm is far-fetched.
There is no reason why the United
States should import a
bushel of onions from any
foreign country, more es-
pecially when a heavy tariff is
imposed on the foreign product.
Right here at home, in Princeton,
hundreds of bushels of onions are
imported annually, and yet we
know that splendid onions can be
raised here. We know of one lit
tie patch not more than d rods
square that will yield ten bushels
OF marketable onions, notwithstand-
ing the extreme dry weather for
six weeks after planting. The
farmers of Minnesota should raise
more onions. They are good
paying crop at so cents per bushei.

Diamond Stars VS.. Princeton.

Last Saturday, Sunday and Monday,
the Princeton boys played a series of
games with another Minneapolis crack
amateur club, the Diamond Stars, and
the home nine captured two games out
OF three. Saturdays game was devoid
of interest. The visitors could not get
onto Bucks pitching and they made a
miserable showing in the field. The
score stood to 10 in favor of Prince
ton. Sundays game reversed things.
1t was an off day for the Princecons,
and the visitors piled up II runs while
the home team s tallies footed up only 7.
On Monday the small number of specta-
tors present witnessed one of the best
games ever played in Princeton. There
were seven goose eggs on both sides,
and at the finish the score stood to 8
in favor of the home nine. The Prince
tons played an almost faultless game in
the field. An error by Southland on
second base gave the visitors two UNI
earned runs in the eighth inning. Sew
eral times the visitors had the bases
full but they were retired without be-
ing able to score. Nicely made beau
tiful double play to Hill in the second
inning and was loudly applauded.
Nicely also made several excellent
catches. Buck was at his best and
pitched a good game, he struck out six
and allowed five singles. Page struck
out two and permitted six hits. Vir-
ginia made pretty play in the fifth
inning; the ball was batted to Town
send who fumbled it; Virginia picked it
up and got it to first in time to retire
the batter. Take it all in all it was
one of the incest games ever played on
the diamond in Princeton.
VIM. Cordiner umpired the first and
third games and neither club had oc-
casion to kick at his decisions. Aug
Rines umpired the Sunday game in
manner satisfactory to both mines.
The members of the Diamond Stars
club are as gentlemanly lot of base
balllsts as ever visited Princeton. Sub

ENGLAND has not seized or forti-
fed Turkish island in the Darda-
nelles. A few boat loads of ma
rines from British war-ships landed
on the island of Mitylene for a
practice drill, hence the foundation
for the warlike rumor. However,
it is probable that England meant
to show the Sultan and his Russian
advisers what she could and would
do in an emergency. - i
