HILLS NEW VENTURE.
VIII Cut a Figure in the Iron In
dustry.

st. Paul, Mimi, March 5.-The Dispatch
says; J. J. Hill is said to have plan
regarding the development of the iron
and steel trust, which the latter concern
hardly figured on, and the proposed in
crease in the Great Northern capital
stock of so eco, O90 is said TO have some
thing to do with Mr.. HIS plans
The trust is said to have left one por-
ton of it's far-reaching plans rather care
leSsiy guarded, and it is through this en-
trance that Mr.. Hill is expected to slide
in. 1t was d question of raw material for
future use.
An official declares that Mr.. Hill has
lately secured options on an immense
tract of mineral lands in northern Min
nesOta. 1t is also said in the ethereal
world, from which all these straight
tips come, that Mr.. Hill intends to build
al immense Smelter on the iron range
and snip his own pig iron east, instead
of iron ore, in his own boats.
A part of this scheme is said to be the
development of the Crows Nest Pass coal
mines, in which DIR Hill is deeply inteF=
ested. In the coal regions Mr.. Hin can
make his own coke and ship it to his
own smelters over his own lines, thereby
being independent of the eastern coal and
coke supply.

pcrienCes in that country In the Sos.
one Of the most amusing Is an account
Of Marks famous duel at Virginia city,
New, In 1866, the details Of which have
never before been printed. Mr.. Cem-
II was then working as a reporter on
the Territorial Enterprise, the leading
newspaper Of Virginia City, which was
then a booming mining camp, full of
rough and ready meh. one day there
came to the town a Miss Wheeler, n
beautiful young woman, with whom the
entire male population Of Virginia City
promptly proceeded TO fall in love. one
Of the most prominent men of the town
was Judge Baldwin, a ire-eating Nir-
Einian, who was nearly so years Old.
Mark Twain saw Miss Wheeler In
bridal attire walk into the Internation-
al hotel II afternoon with Judge Bald
win, and jumped to the conclusion that
she was to marry the old man. He
said so in his paper and .Comforted the
other men Of Virginia City by say
ing that the bridegroom already had
one foot in the grave, with the other q
close second" Judge Baldwin Chal-
lenged him to a duel. Pistols were
chosen as the weapons. though the
judge was a good shot and Mark knew
nothing about firearms. on tho APP
pointed morning Mark and his second,
Steve" ellis, a cad shot, were early
on the scene. ellis was trying the re-
volver, and finally fred at a robin, fully
fifty feet distant. His bullet took the
birds head off. and he went Onward to
pick up the body, after handing the re-
VolVer to Mark Twain. Just as GiliiS
picked up the deCapitated bird Judge
Baldwin and his party came over the
top Of a little hill and saw him. They
locked first at ellis holding the head
less bird and then at Twain holding tho
smoking pistol.
That was a good shot" said one OF
Baldwin's seconds.
Yes" answered Gillis: II doubt IL
there is as good a shot in the country
as Mark"
Immediately Baldwil's seconds pro
posed a compromise. an apology IRON
Judge Baldwin was promptly accepted.

walked home together, poor cock
