FRENCH CREEK.
Coming to the Front as a Copper Re
gion-Large Leads of Copper, Iron
and Gold Discovered. r


o. G. Blacken came in from the
French creek country Monday, bring
ing with him specimens of gold and
copper ore CT a very line quality, TAX
en- from a lead which is within a mile
of the top of the Medicine Bow range.
The ore is very heavy and carries not
only gold and copper in paying guam
titles, but also some other kind Of
metal the exact nature of which is not
known. This latter metal, which re-
sembles graphite, though hard in tex
ture, has been found in other locali-
ties in that range further south. An
effort has been made to discover its
identity, but so far all efforts have
failed.
Mr.. Blacken says the ore brought
il, came from the Iron King No. l,
which is n of a group of six claims,
all lying near each other, which are
known as the "Iron King Group"
The vein is 25 icet wide on the sur
face and is undoubtedly a very large
body of low grade ore. James Terry
is interested with Mr.. Blacken and
Henry Story also has claims in the
same vicinity. The prospects for a
big camp being opened there is very
good. There is abundance of timber
and water and Mr.. Blacken says they
can, by running a tunnel go feet in
length, gain so feet in depth, which
will bring them below the action of
of the atmosphere and to permanent
ore, as well as relieving them of any
water that may come to bother them.
Mr.. Blacken says there are many
other good prospects in that country.
and that prospectors are beginning to
look toward French and Mullin creeks
as the future great copper and gold
country of the Medicine Bow range.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT does
not seem to be giving much con-
Germ to the newspaper criticism
of having entertained Booker
Washington at dinner at the
White House. The president is
not one of those kind of men
who would scout a black faced
man witha master intellect any
more than he would be inclined
to turn his back on a brilliant
man because he had on a thread
bare coat. 1t is not the color that
makes the man any more than
the coat. Roosevelt has shown
an independence that is not at
all surprising to the American
people. Washington is doing
more for the south and for the
negroes than all his critics put
together.

treated the hardwood stumps
rapidly, and in the course of
four or five years the largest of
them can be pulled out with a
span of horses without even a
block and line.
A man can thus start in here
with little or almost no capital,
earn his living and the payments
on his land from the timber he
removes in clearing, and be free
from the fear of failure which
constantly haunts the man who
is compelled to run heavily in
debt for high priced land, stock
and machinery. When this land
is cleared and the stumps rotted
out he will have a farm equal to
the best in the older sections.
With the excellent soil, favorable
climate, good water and easy
accessible markets which we
have here, there is no reason
why land should not be as high
as in the central and southern
part of the state. Glen Flora

Dear Sir: [ have just read
your editorial in The TINES of
October 3rd, sizing up the polite
al situation of the day. Will say
that you have written the most
clear, unbiased, unpaded editorial
of the political situation of the
day, of any that [ have seen up
to the present time. If it were
not for Gov. La Toilette stern,
determined, bulldog disposition
there would not be any breach
in the republican party. But
when the Governor tries to be
the senate and assembly, as well
as executive, it naturally leads
to trouble. Talking economy
IN the administration of the state,
and reform in taxation, then to
veto the only taxation bills that
were passed, that were admitted
by all would be a benefit to the
poor mana an injustice to none;
quitely through his henchmen,
asking members to introduce
bills to increase high salaried
appointive Offices, with pro-
longed session of the legislature,
caused by the Governor efforts
to pass expensive and radical
measures, that his own friends
admitted were too great change
to make at one time, leaves only
one question to be answered:
how can the people stay by a
man that talks one thing and
practices another? A majority
of the republican members of
the legislature of 1901 will not
do it. Yours truly,

A POOR MANS PARADISE.

While northern Wisconsin is
an inviting field for men of large
capital, it is especially suitable
for the poor but Industrious
farmer who wishes to establish
a home but has not the means to
purchase the high priced land of
the older parts Of the country.
1t is practically impossible for a
man to start in on a farm for
himself in the old settled parts
of this and adjoining states I'M
less he has enough to nearly pay
for the farm, which means quite
a sum where land costs from
thirty to fifty dollars per acre.
If man runs in debt for such
land, even if he gets money at six
or seven per cent. he does we'll if
he makes enough to pay the inter
est, with little prospect of ever
reducing the principal If he
has enough to pay for the land,
it requires further large outlay
for stock and machinery, and he
must calculate on receiving
almost no income for nearly a
year. There must also be taken
into consideration the possibility
of crop failure, which exists in
all countries. Of course, the
farmer in prosperous circum-
stances can tide over occasional
years of failure, and make up for
losses in the good crops which
succeed, but a man who is just
starting in on a small capital,
paying interest that stops not for
drought, rust or hail, is likely to
be swamped by a single poor
crop.
In this section man can OBJ
tain an eighty for the price of
garden spot in the older sections.
Land within easy distance of
shipping points, either windfall,
cut-Over or with a moderate a.
mount Of standing timber, can be
obtained at five or six dollars per
acre, heavily timbered land being
somewhat higher and land five
miles or more from the railroad
being obtainable at better fig
ures.. Easy terms can usually
be obtained, third or one
fourth cash. The wind fall or
cut-over lands are the best for
the man who wishes to begin
farming operations Immediately,
as the land can be quickly cleared
and put under cultivation. It
has the disadvantage, however,
!of yielding no returns until
cleared, while the timbered land,
though slower in being brought
under cultivation, yieldan income
from the start.
If a man buys tim bered land
he does not need to wait a year
for crop in order to realize
upon his investment, but he can
begin harvest as soon as he has
his house built If he has maple.

Logging Notes.

From the Ashland Daily Press.
While the big logging operators
are still holding back from making
contracts Of any size, the concerns
that intend to do their own logging
this winter are working out in the
woods more and more and gradually
increasing their forces. The heavy
movement. however, is not looked
for several weeks to come.
Besides the large contracts the
Brooks Timber company has closed
in Duluth with Bolin & Wood, the
company has recently closed another
with William O'Brien to log %, 000,-
600 feet along the ST. Louis river
aud its tributaries, the logs to be
sawed at the new Brooks -Scanlon
mill at Scanlon Blakeley & Farley
have taken a contract to log 10000.
| 900 feet along he Turtle river and
it's tributaries, the logs to be sawed
at Cass Lake. At Nickerson.
Clough & Hurd will bank about 40
600, 900 feet along the railroad, to be
sawed at Nickerson. These how
ever, are not all the operations of
the BrooksScanon company, which
will be on large scale this year.
The new mill is expected to start up
this week, the delay having been
caused by the concerns having tt e
contract to set up the saws.
Logging operations along the
Duluth & Iron Range road will be
on large scale this season. More
operators are opening up along this
line at the present time than in any
other part of the district, excepting
in the Brooks Timber compapy's
territory. Lumbermen say that the
rains have effectually prevented
danger from forest fires this fall.
Bemidji will be close to big log
ging operations this winter. A
number OF Minneapolis firms will
get their logs from the region round
about Bemidji for thirty miles. The
ltasca Lumber company will take
out 70, 900, GOO on its road running
north from the Mississippi. Alger
Smith & Co., of Duluth, will log
about 100, 600, 600 feet this season.
Northern Wisconsin loggers are
also getting in line to begin opera
tons, and some of them have
already started into the woods. The
Red Cliff Lumber company has
camp at Little Sand bay and Will
have two more in the near future.
The company will cut about Is COO
600 on the reservation this year, and
will also cut 20 600, 900 on the north
shore, to he sawed at the head of
the lakes.
Robert Thompson, of Duluth, has
started in on his contract to log
100000 for VIM. OBrien in the
northern part of St. Louis county.
The Nesior estate has cut 60. O00,-
900 feet at its two mills up to date,
and has less than 10000, 900 feet of
unsold stock. 1t is expected that
the years cut will approximate 70
100000 feet Camps are being put
in for getting out next season S logs,
The estate has about ten years cut
