Abundance of Iron.

Prof. w. H. Terry has been in
vestigating the country down the
Kinnickinnic with view to ascer-
tain whether there is iron there, in
what quantity and quality. He re-
ports that he finds iron in abun-
dance but its quality is yet TO be
determined. He finds iron all along
the banks of the river and as far
south in some places as three miles
from the stream He has written
to mining experts and iron manu-
facturers, sending them specimens
of the ore. He is arranging series
of 100 magnets to secure the iron
in quantities from the sand. Mr..
Terry shows quantities of the iron
he has picked up with a magnet
and talks as if he knows whereof
he speaks when he says big boom
awaits this city from the develop
ment of the iron now in evidence.
Iron is here in great quantities. If
the quality is right we shall soon
hear some stirring news. Where
iron is to be sme1ted limestone is
needed. Down the creek there is
abundance of limestone. A few
years ago the Smelling Company at
Spring Valley hauled limestone from

The state veterinarian, A. S.
Alexander, was here last week to
examine horse of Otto Shorn of
Kinnickinnic, reported to be suffer
ing from disease they feared
might be CHAMBERS. Mr.. Alexander
found the disease to be true CLAN
ders and he instructed Police Justice
Carroll to appoint appraisers in ac-
cordance with the law to determine
the value of the horse. He also
ordered the horse shot. The APP
praisers considered the horse worth
$3.50, and an order was made to pay
the owner $50, the highest sum al
lowed.

1t was feared last week while it
was so cold and rainy that when it
cleared there would be heavy
frost. 1t cleared up Thursday night,
the 18th, and Friday morning the
ground was literally covered in
many places with a white frost.
The damage which the frost of that
night occasicned varies with locali-
ties. In low spots vegetation shows
the effects, the corn leaves are par
TALLY wilted. On higher ground
the effect is not perceptible. On
the mound land the tenderest vege-
tation-tomato and pumpkin vines
are not wilted. Friday the wind came
round and blew from the south and
as matter of course there has been
no more frost.
A pest of recent development here
is the ground MOLE They are get
ting numerous in land where the
soil is sandy or loose. They go
over great deal of territory, work
ing at the roots of grass and sue
culent vegetation. They are the
most difficult animal TO catch that
there is in the country. They sell
dom come to the surface. 1t is al
most impossible to poison them as
they seem to eat nothing but roots.
They are very hard to catch as they
will not step onto a spring trap. If
they find anything in their runway
they always dig under it. A trap
has been devised fer catching them
that is in the nature of a harpoon.
The trap is operated by the mole's
raising plate that confines the
spring when the harpoons are
driven into him.
James Dunn and crew repaired
the damage to the cofferdam> as
soon as the fall of water after the
heavy rains of last week permitted
and proceeded with the work on the
dam. The rain had set the work
back just about a week but with
continuance of this good weather
the work will progress rapidly. The
most of the timbers were up last
Saturday as far as where the water
passes over, cut off from the east
side by the cofferdam-more than
two-thirds of the distance. On this
side where they are at work the
fume is built, the timber work of
which was also nearly finished last
week. Some drilling was yet to be
done to excavate sufficient space
for the waterwheel below the f1ume.
This dam, as the work proceeds,
presents a solid, substantial struc-
ture.
