Five or six years ago Paul and Max
schweibenz, two French gentlemen orig
inallv from Stuttgart or other German city,
but for many years prominent residents
of Carbon county, this State bought tract
of some seven or eight hundred acres of e1-
oellent timber land in the mountain west and
above Confluence. They expended 100000
in building branch railroad TO connect their
forest with the B. & o., and after il was
equipped with locomotive and cars, half
dozen saw mills were put to work saving
timber. Very few trees remain standing on
the original purchase to-day, and additional
timber tracts have been purchased and cut
away. Last week negotiations were COM
DIeted for an additional four hundred acre
tract. The Messrs. Schweibenz have en-
ployed a small army of woodsmen and saw
millers all this time, and have paid out hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars. They do not
propose TO forsake Somerset county when
they have sawed up all the lumber in that
region, but they will develop the rich miner
ais that abound in that locality and prepare
building and paving stones, Of which they
have an unlimited supply, for market. One
of the Schweibenz brothers IS always at
the mills TO superintend operations, and
where, notwithstanding his weslth, he lives
in true woodsman style, sharing the fare
as well as the labor of his employees. Both
brothers possess true German hospital
ity, and rarely a week goes by without the
writer's hearing of their very clever and
courteous treatment bestowed upon some
one of bis feIIow-tOwnsmen. 1t is safe TO say
thar no more popular men have ever engag-
ed in business in this county than Max and
Paul Schweibenz.

The Peary Expedition.

New YORK, July ia letter received at
the San Office, dated " Steamer Kite, June
15,n gives the latest information received
about the North Greenland exploring expe-
dition, commanded by Lieut.. Peary. After
leaving Cape Breton it was the intention of
Lieut.. Peary to pass through the Strait of
Belle Isle. The steamer made an effort TO
get through, but failed, and was compelled
to go east to the open water. A few cod fish
ing boats were about and they brought the
letter. The Peary and Helfrin parties were
all well and were deyoting much Of their
time to catching Goldfish, which are very
plentiful in those waters
On the morning of June 18th the steamer
passed through school Of whales. one Of
which approached within twenty feet of the
bow of the Kite. Several Of the sportsmen
of the party had been shooting at puffins and
guillemots, which were flying about in great
flocks or were resting upon the water. The
passage from Sydney had been fair, but one
day the party encountered slight gale and,
although the Kite was heavily loaded. the
deck being full of coal, she rode the waves
like duck.

fectly true 10 nature that several mothers
sighed audibly and said, Ah, it cried so
naturally" In short, everything rendered
by the Phonograph called out the hearty
applause and appreciation Of the audience.
Everybody was delighted, and declared their

cause of the universal satisfaction, and be-
