RAILROADS AND MINING.
The R. G. W. Railway Complimented
Upon It's Prospectors' Man.


The importance of the mining indus
try in the west is shown by the efforts
making by the railroad companies to
advertise the mineral resources of the
territory tributary to their respective
lines, says the Denver Republican
Time was, not so very long ago. when
the western roads looked upon the
miner and prospectOr as a sort of I'M
reliable DeriDetetic individual. and
when one attempted to show what he
could do if he had the facilities and
reasonable transportation rates, he was
listened to with more or less Impotence
and generally told that when he had
something to ship he would be talked
"a
But there is a change.
Railroad managers have learned that
the more help is given new and de-
serving camps that sooner they will
commence to furnish freight for the
road, and special attention is now
given to mining. The Gulf railway has
established mining bureau with a
competent head, and all other mount
ain lines will be compelled to do the
same, and all the roads are not issuing
fine advertising matter devoted en-
tireiy TO the mines. The latest con-
tribution to this class of railway lit
erature is The Prospectors Map of
Utah" issued by the Rio Grande West

autographed in colors. each mining

Long Timber.

The tallest trees are to be found in the

belong to the eucalyptus family and
range from $50 to 500 feet in height
One of them that had fallen was found
by measurement with tape to be 45S
feet from the roots to where the trunk
had broken off by the fall At that
point the tree was three feet in diameter.
.The tree grows with astonishing rapidity.
A eucalyptus glebulus planted in Flori-
da grew 40 feet in four years, with a
hole a foot in diameter. Trees of the
same species in Guatemala grew 120 feet
in twelve years. The stem of one was

range from 100 to 105 feet in length, 10

A GREEN BAY CANDIDATE.
Prof. McCunn Strongly Endorsed for the
Glasgow Consulate.

Green Bay, Wis, March 11.-[Spe-
cial. PROF. J. n. McCunn Of this city
is candidate for the Glasgow consul
late He has the endorsement of the
leading Republicans Of Northeastern Wis
consin, and being a close personal friend
of Congressman Minor of this district,
will undoubtedly secure his earnest sup
port. Mr. McCunn's endorsements are
exceptionally good and this fact has been
admitted by Senator Spooner in reply to
the letters of personal friends of the
candidate. 1t is generally conceded that
the professors effective services during
the past years are deserving of recogni-
ton. He represents the younger Re-
publcans who have never made a de-
mand for recognition.
The postmastership has candidate in
the person of Gustav Kustermann, who
held the position during the last Re-
publican administration. AS the change
will not be likely to take place for three
years it is probable that the future will
bring other candidates into the field.

Trouble Near West Superior Over
the Exhuming of John Nagan-

West Superior, Wis, March 1O.-[Spe-

Pillsbury, who went to Gordon under or
ders of District Attorney Sloan to ex-
hume the body of the murdered Indian,
John Naganup, had a thrilling expert
ence and narrowly escaped violence at
the hands of the enraged Indians The
purpose of the officers was to secure evil
dence that the knife wound by Nagan-
ups brother reached his heart.
When they commenced to open the
grave the Indian bucks and squaws held
pow WOW, the ultimatum of which was
that the work must stop. Mrs. Nagan-
up, mother of the dead man, threatened
to shoot the first man to touch the body
and the officers had to exhibit their wea
pons and with the assistance Of the local
constable, Taylor, who is also an Indian,
they held the crowd in check while the
operation was performed.
When they removed Naganup's heart
for the purpose of bringing it to Superior,
Taylor said that if it was known they
would never reach town alive owing to
the Indian superstition which would have
led to an uprising. The heart was
Struggled away and the grave closed with
Indian ceremonies. Further trouble is
expected when the facts become known.

island, Alaska. 'There is terrible rush
to the Yukon river placer mines from the
states,'' he writes. @'There are four large
steamers running up here from Tacoma,
and they are loaded down with miners
bound for the mines. 1t is something
remarkable what hardships and ex-
posure men will go through for gold
They have to walk and pack their pro-
visions 900 miles over the mountains to
the Yukon. yet there are hundreds of
men doing it. They make all the way
from SO up to $500 per day, washing on
the bars of the creeks and river. This
may seem like fairy tale, but neyerthe-
less. it is true. | know a Mr.. Miller
who washed out in two seasons S53, 1000
in gold dust in 40 days of actual work,
but of course, this is an exception.
Most Of them get from $4,000 to $4,000,
and, of course, some don't get anything. .
