playing with the cubs just prior to
meeting the Church reporter of The
ZINES. Now Dick it ain t just right
to take advantage of the igorance
OF the religious scribe, who no doubt
does not know the difference between
a Cant Hook and Cross haul, and
spin him such yarn. "The finest
site, beautiful View, 5" Pretty little
lake? BEST Leaders in North Wis
consin, " are a few of the remarks
used by friend Dick.
Now with all due respect to Mr..
Parks, his new site and beautiful
lake, his elevated "Kopjay," Sixty
four feet high, etc. why did you
not, friend Dick-while out sight
seeing-why did you not take in the
big show Three rings, all under
one canvass, right here at the new
station Of Deadwood that is where
you would find it.
This city of busy hustling lumber
jacks is scarcely two weeks old as
yet, still it is the peach Of bayfield,
county. The entire works are I'M
der the able supervision of big, good
natured Jim Bryant and no one need
tell him where to head in at, when
1T comes to getting out saw logs.
Talk about your Cracker Jacks, come.
out and see one, John Stewart is
here with the rule plenty, he also
keeps the time, runs the Van and
has found time in between acts, with
the help of a few of his many friends
to build himself neat little cottage
on Beach Knoll, overlooking the rest
of the city, aud after July 1st Mr..
and Mrs. Stewart will be at home to
there friends in Dead Wood.
John Murphy does the trip ham
mer act on the end of the logs,
while jolly Jim Ross is handy man.
Jim will make or repair anything
from suit of clothes to a set of
drays, mend your tin ware, patch
your shoes, in short do any thing
and the beauty of it is he will do it
well. Our culinary department is
in charge of genial John Whiteford,
who can sling more dough than any
other man in this neck OF the woods.
Al Williams does the meat and
vegetable act, while the dining room
is III charge of Frank Parker, who
is all right. The boys do no logging
at the table when Frank is around.
Richard Dryer, "Deadwood' Dick,
whom every one knows, sees the
cooks want for nothing. Dick logs
all the time, and makes little money
every day. Sandy Russell has
charge of the stables and a peep at
the stock speaks of his worth far
better than we can write.
Speaking about leaders Dick, why
you are way off. We have three set of
leaders, but the way they get the
logs upon the peak would astonish
you Richard, still just see who they
are, Joe Burgie, Billey Mccain,
Dunk Cameron, Busch, Mckenzie,
Andy Louden, Billie Meyers, High
headed Winters and a few more old
timers.
No, we are not SO many, but still
the boys manage to get 10 car loads
of logs, not whip stocks, in Tim
Kearns logging yard at the bay
each day, and remember We are a
great way this side of $50 men.
But come out Dick and see real
logging camp, place where we log
all the time. Take the Spot some
morning on the w. & N. w. R.R.
aud that will take you as far as
Boston, take the Five Spot there and
Dad York will give you fast mail
ride right into Deadwood A gen
tlemanly usher will show you the
sights, show you how they log on
the Bigelow line. Go in the dining
room and have Al cook you one of
his up to-date Porterhouse steaks
or some of his planked cod fish.
Take a stroll over a mile or so and
see the Sailor, you will always find
his locker open, cross over the track
and spend an hour at another
suburb of Deadwood, Pete Dukelow's
Canvass town, go in and see Jim
Harvey and Fred Clark, try some Of
Harvey's Rocky Mountain Tea-it
always touches the right spot, at
least SO says Dad York, Callahan,
Paddy and few more Of the lads
