Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1894-04-19

One of the twenty-five children OF
James McMurray was the late Rev.
Jacob McMurray, who at eight years
of age astounded the peop-e of his
locality by his precocious power in
discussing religious subjects and
questions involving nice theological
points, and Of whom his mother
prophesied: "He will become a great
preacher and die in the Lords har-
ness" He did become distinguished
and powerful preacher, and in 1885
fulfilled his mothers prophecy by
dying while officiating at communion
service in the church. He was the
author of the famous local option act,
which passed the legislature and dis
turbed Pennsylvania politics so great
ly some years ago.

ROAD TO THE CLOUDS.
PROJECTED ELECTRIC RAILWAY
TO THE JUNGFRAU.
The Magnificent Peak of the Bernese
Alps, 1851 Feet Above the Level of
the Sea, Soon Can Be Reached by the
the Rack System OF Railroading.
Plan of Ascent.

The Jungfrau, the magnificent
snow-covered peak of the Bernese
Alps, is soon to be reached by rail.
The European bourses are selling the
stock of a projected Jungfrau rail
way, for which M. Guyer-Zeller, of
Zurich, the principal owner of the
great Northeast Railway, has just re-
ceived concession" by the Swiss
Federal Council.
The Jungfrau is situated on the
boundary line of the Cantons Berne
and Valois. Its height is 1851 feet,
200 feet less than that of Mont Blanc,
the giant among the mountains of
Europe. In 1890 project to reach
the summit by rail was launched, but
the plans were not feasible. The
present plan is to start the road on
the Scheideck Mountain (Wengern
Alp, some six thousand feet above
the sea. The rack system of railroad
ing, which is employed by the Mont
Gents, Right and Zermatt Railways
most successfully, will be used in
pulling up the cars to the Jungfrau,
being REINFORCED by electricity. The
rack engine, as the illustration
shows, has a boiler of the vertical
order, and four cylinders, the outer
pair of which are connected with
wheels running on ordinary rails,
while the inner pair operate a cen
tral-toothed wheel, running on a
single.racked rail The two sets of

to the mountain summit on each
trip.
The railroad will be $4,000 feet
long, and for power and lighting pur-
noses electricity will be employed
throughout. The falls Of the Luet-
schine River and the Truemmel
stream are to furnish the power Tor
electrical engines.
Work will be started in the spring.
The engineers hope to finish the rail-
road to Station Eiger within two
wears. In the summer of 1898 Amer
lean tourists will be able to reach the
summit of the Jungfrau, as M. Guyer-
teller saws. in true United States

MONTANA HAS AN ICE MINE.

Prospectors Using 1t as Refrigerator ana
Meat Safe.
An "ice mine" is reported from New
York Gulch, Meagher County, Mon
tana. In early days the gulch turned
out $4,000, 900 worth of gold, but of
late years it has been nearly deserted.
Last summer, says the Northwest
Magazine, two prospectors uncovered
the mouth of an old shaft and glanced
curiously down it. They saw the ice,
which reached up to within four feet
and eight inches of the surface. They
considered it curious, and thought
what good place it would be to keep
their meat, butter and. other food
from spelling while they were work.
ing in the neighhorhood. They low
cred their provender into the ice
mine with the best results. Natur-
ally they told of their find to other
miners, with the result that for
radius of three or four miles around
the miners came to the ice shaft,
lowered the beef and other provisions
into the mine, putting their tag ON
it, and hosting the rope from time
to time as provisions were needed. 1t
is godsend to the miners, as it en-
ables them to keep meat fresh in the
very hottest weather. The miners
are unable to give any solution of this
strange phenomenon. The formation
of the gulch is shale, reddish in color
and full of assures. 1t is supposed
that gusts of air from cold cave
may have underground connections
with the shaft, and rapid evaporation
near the top may explain the COZ
tinued formation of ice there as it is
cut away.

The route of the Jungfrau Railway
will be as follows: From its starting
point, the line ascends to the foot of
the Eiger Glacier, which is to be tun-
neled, the trains entering on the
east side and coming out in the south
at Station Eiger, which is $500 feet
above the level of the sea. The tun-
mel is to be open on the outer side.
From Station Eiger the line moves,
again by tunnel, in the direction of
the monk" Mountain, until it reach
es the Jungfrau-Joch, and, leaving
the tunnel there, the railroad as
cends to the so-called small plateau,
winding itself around the mountain
in spiral form like the thread on a
screw. The small plateau is II, 500
feet above the level Of the sea, and in
midsummer clear of snow. There a
gigantic elevator will be constructed,

where reference is made to this fish.

Academy whether their definition of
a crab was correct. The story is so
we'll known that it does not need
repetition. AS the result of personal
observation extending over a good
many years, I assert that the exocetus
does fly.
| have often seen flying fish rise
200 yards off, describe semi-circle,
and, meeting the ship, rise twenty
feet in the air perpendicularly, at the
same time darting off at right angles
to it's previous course. Then, after
another long flight, when just about
to enter the water, the gaping jaws
of a dolphin emerging from the sea
gave it pause and it rose again, re-
turning almost directly upon it's
former course. This PROCEDURE is SO

as bird, but they vibrate, like the
wings of an insect, with a distinct

inside the stable door, talking with

a scream. Jack heard it, to. Before
his master had time to turn around
the horse had jerked the bride away
and was running across the stable

Mr.. Dill followed and what he saw
was calculated to make him follow
pretty rapidly. His little daughter
was being attacked by dog, big,
ugly, yellow cur, that did not belong
around the place. Its teeth were
tearing her dress and she was vainly
struggling to free herself. Jack must
have had an appreciation of her dan
