some blowing the past week. The
weather was mild enough and there
not being any frost in the ground for
some time it is possible that some
fields were dry enough to permit of
being plowed. It has been great
weather surley since the first of jan

Naming of Mineral Point.


In the Milwaukee Sentinel of last
Sunday is an interesting article on
the origin of the names of several
Wisconsin cities from which we
extract the following in relation
to Mineral Point. According to
the best information obtainable
it is infinitely correct:
The Hon. Moses NJ. Strong, Of
the pioneers Of Wisconsin's lead
region, contributes the following
narrative as to the naming of Min
eral Point: GA remarkable topC-
graphical feature characteristic of
the mineral region of South western
Wisconsin is the fact that all the
small rllls an rivulets formed by the
numerous springs that pervade the
whole region run through deep aud
narrow valleys, upon either side of
which the ground rises abruptly
until it reaches an elevation of from
one to two hundred feet above the
small streamlets. These elevations,
f1anked on either side by these small
brooks, form a plateau Of table land
of greater or less extent usually
called ridges, which as they approach
the junction Of the circumj accent
streams, are often called points.
About 100 yards southerly from the
railroad depot in the city of Mineral
Point, and at the site of the wooden
mill, is the junction of two such
small streams Of water, the western
most one of which runs in nearly a
south course, and the other in
course about thirty degees west of
south, between which is one Of
these characteristic ridges, with an
elevation gradually increasing in a
nothren direction from SO to 200
feet, and which terminates opposite
and about thirty yards easterly from
the depot in a precipice of sanl
rock, about 20 or so feet high.
The southern portition Of this ridge
was not inaptly called a point
Early in the summer of 1928, a rich
and extensive lode Of mineral dead
ore was always then called by the
generic term Of smineral) was dis
covered on this ridge or point of
land, which was Immediately fol.
lowed by other discoveries; and the
locality soon became known
throughout the whole region as
'The Mineral Point The news of
the discoveries on the mineral point
spread rapidly and extensively,
and had the effect of bringing dur
ing that year Of 1928 great num-
Der of miners and others. many of
whom constructed cabins west of
the westernmost watercourse, on
either side Of thoroughfare, which
is now called Commerce street.
Among these cabins was a store,
blacksmith shop, tavern, drink
ing house and public boarding
house, thus forming for those days
very respectable hamlet, to which
by a natural transition was, by COM
mon consent given the name Of
Mineral Point This name in the
first instance was only designed to
indicate the ridge or point of land
upon which the valuable mineral
discoveries had been made. In
this manner in 1923 a name, the
meaning Of which was indicated by
the adjacent mineral point, was
given to a hamlet, which has grown
to be an important commercial and
manufacturing city"

We understand, says the Waynesburg

Washington county with sweetheart
whose parents gave her horse to quit
him. She quit him and got the horse.
After awhile the parents took liking

now has two horses. The result is they
have a good team to start with.

ed the fee system and has fixed the sal
ary Of the sheriff at $4,000, which shall
cover all the expenses of that office
except that of the board of prisoners.
for which there is a $1,000 contract per
year. The total of $500 is about
half what the sheriff has cost the

they were precipitated into fourteen
