PURPOSESOF PINGREE

Journey Were Three, Says
Colonel Sutton.
AID FOR MIoHIGAN's WASTE LANDS
Was One OF hem-Improvement in
Crop Rotation and an Exodus
OF Beers and Others

Detroit, June 20.-In an interview
in New York yesterday afternoon with
Il staff correspondent of the Detroit
Journal Colonel Eli II. Sutton. of this
city, who was the travelling cOmpan-
ion of Ex-Governor Pingree during his
trip through South Africa and Europe,
said: ''Hazen :. PinSree went to
South Africa largely for the purpose
of putting into practical effect three
gigantic schemes for tie benefit of the
people of Michigan. First, the recla-
nation of the immense pine wastes in
Michigan by planting trees. lie went
to the Bavarian Black forest to eX-
pand this idea, and overwOrked so
much that he FASTENED his death. Sec
ond. the rotation of crops in Michigan.
In pursuit of this scheme he went to
Egypt where such system is enforced
by the government.
His Biggest Proposition.
Third. the transportation of every
patriot BOer and his family who de-
sired to come 10 the United States. He
quizzed British officials on this sub
ject, gained their approval. of it, and
had an appointment To consult with
Kruger about il which was only pre-
vented by the governors illness. 1t
was his idea to interest some Michigan
capitalists in the plan and provide
lands for the Beers among the railroad
systems. He thought that these capt
taliStS could secure very low transpor-
tatiOn rate from the SeabCard to the
farms. and he proposed to let the Brit
ish government. in some roundabout
way. provide the ships for the Beers
transportation from Africa to this
country.
EnIIishmen We're Perfectly willing.
"a number of English officers now
in South Africa. and some eminent
public men i'm England, took this plan
seriously. and thought well of il. pro
vlded il could be carried out without
the British governments aid in the
matter becoming known. While study
ing the Black forest i'm the interest of
his refOreStration idea Governor Pin
gree even secured the names of num-
Der of keepers who were willing to
emigrate to Michigan and assume the
care Of the forests he proposed to
plant"

Mining Items.

The Hill City News reports find Of
very rich ore in the Lena mine in the
drift on the 100 foot level, Free gold
specimens are in abundance and in value
the ore Is said to be equal to that which
was found near the surface.
A third ledge has been encountered
in the drift on the North Star, property,
seven miles west from town. The drift
Is being run from the 300 foot level and
has already passed through two lodges
Of excellent ore. The third and last
ledge that has been reached is said to
be fully as good as the other two.
1t is reported chat the Saginaw Min
ing company, which was practically
formed last fall, will be recognized.
Mess.s. Noble and Woodbury. while
here last week visited tha -company's
property, in company with Lee Hoyt,
and found what they consider an ex.
cellent showing in the way of ore. The
ground lies near the North Star prop
erty. If Noble and his associates con-
cude to reorganize the company they
will do so on the expectation ofplacing
the stock among their friends in the
east.
The new metal which was being dis
cussed about town not long ago, and is
claimed TO run all through two-foot
ledge in Chet Wheelock's King mica
mine between Harvey and Glendale, is
called molly bdenite, and is composed of
forty-one per cent sulphur and fifty-nine
per cent molybdenum. When Mr..
Wheelock first noticed the scaly layers
Of the mineral. which resemble mica he
sent samples east and learned that the
mineral is used in toughening and hard
ened steel, and is very valuable.-Key-

Building a new Road.

"By January of next year." said a
Burlington official, "there will not be
left a vestige of the old track between
Chicago and Omaha, except a few
stretches of 1--WE or six miles each. The
entire line for 3l0 miles west of Chica.
go, has been rebuilt except the stretch
of five miles near Ottumwa, and the
contract for this was awarded few days
ago. 1t is estimated that the average
cost per mile Of the new track will be
in the neighborhood of 100000. Sew
eral steam shovels and about $50 men
will be given employment for more than
year. In many places the original
right Of way has been abandoned and
the rails have been laid a mile, and in
some cases, mile and hathaway, from
their former position. 1t is likely that
saving Of four or five miles in distance
between Chicago and the Missouri
river will be effected by the new track.
The principal Improvement for the
company, however, will be the elimina-
ton of curves and the reduction Of
grades. The work now being done near
Murray is of enormous extent. The
cost will run into the millions of dol
lars. The present line Will be abandon.
ed for one which snoots straight over
the valleys and through the hills, max
ing reduction of about three quarters
of mile in the distance and giving an
almost gradeless track"

Copper in the Black Hills.

A correspondent Of the Denver Post
writing from Rockford under date Of
March 30th, says: 1t was not until 1897
that mining men became convinced that
the numerous finds Of rich copper ore
at or near the surface were more than
mere blowouts as had been held by
most OF the miners Of the Hills. Dur
ing the summer of 97 it was clearly
demonstrated that the old Theory was
entirely without foundation, and at the
present time there are no less than ten
companies at work, besides several pri.
vate parties On Spring creek, ten
miles northwest Of Custer, there is a
good d. al Of work being done by indivi'
luals and there are also two companies
operating in that district, the Copper
Butte and the Boulder Mining Compa
nies with headquarters at Custer. The
latter is new one, but already has un-
covered l0-foot vein Of pyritic ore that
can be worked at profit with suitable
reduction works on the ground.
The copper formations Of the Black
Hills are extensive. Commencing at II
point near Dead wood, they extend along
both the eastern and western eXtrem-
tiles Of the mineral belt, and can be
traced nearly the entire point of the
mineral region by the oulcroppiDgs,
which consist of an iron gossan and
parallel veins Of ash AMI decomposed
matter or ore from which the metal has
been leached by chemical action. AT
water level, where this mass is not oxi
died aud concentrated with the leach
ings from the metal above, rich ores are
found. In many places unleached or
unoxidized carbonates are found that
90 from 10 to so per cent copper. These
ores occur in or with the gossan or Stag,
and in many places the gossan itself has
an assay value of from l to 5 per cent
copper. There are usually five veins
running through the belt parallel with
the formation and they vary from to
so feet in width. In most places along
the belt the veins are tied together by
cross veins of a talcy substance, which
usually carries copper. The foot walls
are in almost every instance plunbago
slate with hanging wall Of massive
quartzile. The formation is regular and
bitches !, al angle Of about 40 degrees.
The limestone being fat and irregular
in many places, the copper formation is
covered by it.
