Niy stone Lake Survey.

The Ortonvi,le correspondent
of the st. Paul Dispatch, OF
Dec. 2Jth, writes as follows:
A large consignment Of cam
equipment, provisions and sur
veyors instruments, shipped
the u. S. assistant surveyor at
Ortonville, has arrived. The
survey of Big Stone and Trav-
erse Lake will be commenced at
once under the direction OF con-
gress, with a view of bringing
these lakes and their tributaries
into the reservoir system and
the construction of large dyke
at the foot of Big Stone lake.
A dispatch to the Pioneer
Press of the 2Sth says: United
States Surveyor w. c. Weeks OF
Minneapolis and corps are here.
Their presence here is to make
an accurate survey of Big Stone
and Traverse lakes, also to sur
vey the foot of Big Stone lake
for the proposed great dyke.
An accurate level well also be
taken assuming given hight OF
the dyke at the foot OF Big Stone
and extending that line through
to the foot of Lake Traverse.
Thus with the survey and level
the amount of land necessarily
overflowed by any given nlsl'
of dam can be accurately ascer-
tanned. The excavation neces-
sary to complete the canal con-
Meeting the two lakes will also be
computed. The object Of the
survey is to bring these lakes in
to the reservoir system. This
would make an immense reser.
yoir and would serve the double
purpose Of relieving the Red
River oft,le North Of its surplus
water and supplying the Miss
issippi with water during the
dry season. It would also make
a water course Of considerable
importance to Western Min
nesota and North and South Da
kota. and ultimately, if extended
TO hudson Bay, to the entire
Northwest.

Lawyer Null, Of Huron, who is
one of the attorneys of G. M.
Clark in the cases against him
for forgery, returned last week
from trip to the east, and Ma
dame Rumor claims that the visit
was to New York city toclose the
negotiations which had been pen
ding for some time for the non
suiting of the cases against Clark.
The general opinion is that he
was successful in his mission,
and that Brown & Co., who were
t leplluclpal sufferers by Clark S

when the cases come up for trial

Some of the free coinage men still
say that all they want is to restore the
conditions that existed prior to 1878. :
In 1878 the total worlds production OF
silver was 81, 100000 ounces and the
silver in dollar was worth $l.O4 IN
gold. Last year the worlds product OF
silver was 1876, 900, 900 ounces and the
