Prehistoric american Mining.


The ancient mound builders, who
where the pioneer copper miners OF
America, evidently handled large
masses of copper in much the same
manner as do their successors of to-
day. In a deep pit on the property
of the Minnesota Copper Mining
Company the early explorers (whose
discovery Of copper was forced by
their stumbling upon the actual
mines and tools of their predecessors
of prehistoric America), found a
large mass of copper, nearly as big
as the one just cut up in the National
mine. This great block of nearly
twenty tons of virgin copper had
been mined away from the country
rock, and was elevated upon thick
slabs, some three feet above the
rough floor of the old mine. Scat
tered about the pit were copper tools
of the miners, hardened by some
process which is lost art in the
present day, to the 6neness OF steel,
with which these early explor-
ers and miners managed to cut
and pierce the hardest rock-rock
which modern miners attack only
with power drills and dynamite.
Similar discoveries of mining opera
tons carried on by the moundbuild-
ers have since been discovered.
Newspapers and Progress.
Newspapers, above all other
enterprises, must keep up with the
march of progress, says Murat
Halstead. Fifteen years ago a
New York newspaper in getting a
new outfit of printing presses con-
graduated itself that the acme OF
perfection had been reached and
that no change would be needed
until the presses were worn out.
But in less than five years every
one of those presses were in the
junk shop, although they were do
ing better work than when first set
up, and from $15, 900 to $25, 900
had to be sacrificed on every one Of
them. They were not worn out,
but new inventions had put them
behind the times.

SOMETHING
Will Soon be Done About WaterWOrkS
and Electric Lights.

In case the council decides not to put in
waterworks and electric light plant to be
owned and operated by the city, it is gener-
ally understood that radical change will
take place in the electric light matter. While
the present company furnishes fair light
tits believed that it is inadequate to furnish
light for both private and public use.
Many of our merchants are asking for arc
lights, and few more lights for the town
would not come amiss.
AS has often been before stated, the esec-
trio light company is powerless to improve
the plant until some definite action is taken
by the council, for they have no assurance oi
being permitted to run any length of time.
We are reliably informed that in case the
council shelves the project as voted on BY
the people, new members will be taken II
the electric light company and an effor
made to close contract with the council. Il
case this is accomplished, an entire new
plant will be purchased which, furnished
new site with increased power, will give tn
people and town all the light needed.
It Is also talked that the Beard Compan
will have opposition as seyefal of our prom
inent citizens will forM a company an
make an effort to secure a contract.
In conversation NTH several counclme
they express themselves as certain that th
much talked of waterworks and electri
| light will soon come to a climax one way {
another.

Strays.

The law concerning stray animals is not
as we'll known as it should be. Says an ex-
change:
''If you take up stray animal you must,
within ten days, give notice to your town
ship clerk, who must make an entry of the
same; then you advertise the animal in your
paper. and sixty days after such avertise-
ment has appeared. if the owner has not
come forward you apply to Justice of the
peace to sell the animal. He issues war
rant to the constable, who then gives ten
days notice by posters, and then he sells it,
and you get your pay for expenses. The
penalty for taking stray animal and not
giving notice is IS, and besides this the
owner can come upon your place and take it
away without paying you anything.
