The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-10-19

Before we parted the old man told
me a story. A story that had heard
in Seattle and which is part of the for
gotten history of the West that was,
but is no more, and this is the story
1 set out to tell. The forty-niner tells
it with pride to show that the rough
men and heroic women who blazed the
trails from the Missouri to the Pacific
had big heatrs that were always in
the proper place:
Many yeasr ago, in a mining camp
far out in the wide, wild West, there
lived man and a woman-both good
fellows. Without benefit of clergy they
abode together for many moons, fell
out, and finally separated.
Now, for the first time, the woman
realized how much she loved the man,
and the man became aware that the
best had gone out of his life. OF course,
she, being a woman, could do nothing,
so they met, nodded, and passed each
other and all the while love grew
stronger.
All the people in the camp came soon
to know of their troubles and all SYM
pathized with them, for they were
both good fellows.
Finally the man gave in, called en-
the woman and proposed marriage. She
consented, of course, and named the
next day.

Treasurer schamher Arranges to Take Up
-, More Bonds.
PIERRE, S. D.-State Treasurer
Schamber has completed arrangements for
at once taking up $4,000 Of 1905 bonds,
bearing AZ per cent interest, with prob
abilities of securing $4,000 more of the
same issue. These are bonds issued to
make good the shortage to the state
school fund through the defalcation Of
w. w. Tayler, and by taking them up
before they are due the state is saving
an interest charge of several thousand
dollars. While there are no funds on
hand, in the general account, the bond
sinking fund is in such shape that the
debt of the state is being constantly de-
creased by payments before the same be-
comes due.
The shipments of cattle for the first
part of November have shown unusual

delay means uncertainty in crossing the

LOGGING ABOUT REMlDJl
Season Is to Be One Of the Busiest on
Record.

REMIDJI, MINN.-Never before in the
history of the numbering interests of the
northwest has there been such activity
along the lines Of logging as this year.
The number Of small jobbers who take
contracts to get out a certain quantity or
timber for the larger companies, as we'll
as those companies who hire thousands or
men and run scores of camps, are increas-

The interests here are divided into three
sections, all of which are tributary to

Of these Is what is known as the north
district, and comprises those camps along
the line Of the Minnesota & International
which has it's terminus at Blackjack. IN
this section the Shevlin- Carpenter COM
pany probably is Of the greatest i'm
portance. although 1T is hard pressed LOT
supremacy by several other companies.
Among the later is the Thief River Lum-
Der company, which has three camps OF Its
own with several large contracts let to
jobbers.
The north district Is not more interest
ing than the one to the south, where are
ia be found the camps of the Brainerd
Lumber company, and of the H. c. Akeley
company. A. T. Hatcher at Guthrie Is a
iobber of note IN this district and takes
large contracts. In both districts are the
numerous camps of. Walker & Akeley:
The firms in what Is called the west dis
trict are not so numerous but are Of as
much Importance as those in the other
two. The Red River company leads, hav-

The jobbers are numerous and Will get Out
lumber for both the last named company
and the Clearwater Logging company.
The cry for help is universal. Common
laborers In the camps are commanding
from $26 to $35 a month and board, while
experienced men are getting from $35 VI
and board. Each camp has a cool
shanty. sleep shanty, an office
stables and wanagan store. where the
company keeps all supplies necessary tt

AS a rule. there are from thirty to sixty
horses in each camp. The camps average
about fifty men each. Some Of the large
concerns have 100 and more in each camp

NEXT YEARS ORE TONNAGE
iron Miners and Shippers Figure on 3d.
Ooo, 900 Tons,

DULUTH MINN.-The United States
Steel corporation expects to move great
deal more ore in 1903 than this year, and
will consume four or five million tons
more in it's own furnaces. at which con-
strr1ction is now going on. 1t Is the opin-
ion of we'll posted lake ore men that the
total tonnage to be mined another year
will not be less than 100000 tons, and
that an even 80, 900, 900 tons is not i'm
possible.
This year the total will pass $4,000, 900
tons. which is an increase over the year
before of more than rs per cent. This
is a great surprise to all mining men
and shippers. who, had no conception OF
the immense growth Of the industry.
With such a record for the entire region
It is natural that mines should break past
efforts. The Fayal mine will close the
season with total shipments of more than
1900, 900 tons, which is far above the
product of any single mine of any kind
In the past. The stupendous character OF
this achievement cannot be realized BY
those not connected directly with the
Industry This is all done in about 100
days, an average of about 10000 tons, or
ten immense trains. a day. 'N
Many mines Of the various ranges are
closing down, their season allotments hav-
Ing been filled. \ They are, now devoting
themselves to the accumulation of stock
piles for the summer OF 1915, WieIl Tie dC-
tivity Of shipping will recommence. They
enter the winter with smaller stocks OF
mined ore than in many years and will
have to work with great vigor in order ia
accumulate the required amount by
spring.
The large new mine Of the international
Harvester company, the trust, has started
shipping and will make trial order of a
few thousand tons this fall This mine
was an unbroken forest as late as June
and was twelve miles from the nearest
railway point, the distance trackless
wilderness of swamp and rough woods
That any ore could be shipped this veal
reflects the highest credit on both the
railway, that has built in and the mining
manager who opened the property In thu
face Of almost insuperable obstacles.
