A Growing Industry

Many of our people do not ap
preciate the wonderful changes
that are going on around them,
when they are located beyond the
sound of the whistle that summons
the workmen. For many years
the cypress timber of the coast
swamps was counted rs valueless,
because inaccessible.
The modern methods of toda 2
have made possible the organizing
and successful operating OF the
"Salt Water Lumber Co., Limited
of Patoutville, of which Mr.. Silvio
BYousSard Of this city, is mana
ger. This company recently com
plrted a modern SawmiIl, located
near the Ibcria-St. Mary Canal
and on the line of the F and A.
Railroad.
BY the employment of the steam
dredge and pull-bOat they will en-
ter cypress breaks heretofore un-
disturbed by man. The dredge
cuts her way into the swamps to
be closely followed by the pull
boat. The latter reaches far ont
beyond the banks of the canal and
draws the aged mOnarchs of the
forest into the channel OF com
is hurried through the
system of canals to the mill.
There it is quickly changed into
materials. Then it is
to market, the finest and
best cypress lumber known.
The management of the Com
pany is confident that the mill
will have a constant supply OF
timber for eight years to come.

The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1904-02-26

IT is given out that the resigna-
ton of range U. S. Commissioners
will shortly be asked, the first move
in that direction being the demand
for the resignation of A. p. Sill
man, commissioner at Hibbing, the
request being signed by Judge
Morris. The reason ascribed for the
action is that "the cause is found in
the abridgement of the income<< of
the land office as represented in the
fees paid to range commissioners
by homesteaders, settlers and tim
Der land claimants" But the SET
tier, homesteader and claimant, as
also the commissioners affected by
the ruling, will be loath to accept
the reason as valid, and will be very
apt to ascribe the ruling to the fact
that the establishment of commits
sionerships at range points cut off
the graft of the land attorney
sharks, who now receive no income
from the claimant proving up be-
fore range commissioner. But
without any discussion of the prob
able cause the effect will be felt by
every claimant, who will be com.
PEELED to go to an additional ex-
pense of from $35 to $75 in proving
up, in the taking of witnesses to
Duluth. The presumed intention
of the government in the allotment
of lands is to render them as easily
obtainable as possible by actual
settlers, and this item is an import
ant one if our Interpretation of the
intention is correct. The ruling is
one which will work an unnecessary
hardship upon many settlers in ey-
cry portion of the district, and one
which should be RECONSTRUCTED and
repealed without delay. -

BIGGEST PUMP IN WORLD.
It Delivers 10000 Gallons a
.liour Makes No Noise Whatever.

sss'' "'sssVSl W NVtSS .WW0lSvoJs ~,
The largest suction pump in the
world is one included in the equip
ment Of the Calumet.& Hecla Min
ing company. Without being
crowded to the limit Of it's capacity,
this pump can deliver q 10000 gal
Ions of water every hour in the
twenty-four: Moreover, it will do
the work without making as much
noise as is made by the operation
of the old:style sewing machine.
Outside the doors off, the great
building which houses it no sound
is heard from within, and, stand
ing beside the monster upon the
brink of the pit connected with the
lake from which the water is taken,
almost the only sound is the noise
of the suction, as with every stroke
more than 1000 gallons are lifted.
1t is triple expansion pumping
engine, with capacity of 100000
gallons daily, standing nearly 80
feet in height and requiring 1900
horse power for it's operation. It
has been proven by actual test that
the nominal capacity can be easily
maintained for an indefinite time
without injury of strain, and that
pushed to its full capacity the pump
could handle approximately $1,000,
600 gallons in twenty,four conscu-
tive hours.
The duty of this great pump is to
furnish water for the stamp mills of
the Calumet & Hecla company.
which has twenty heads of stamps
IN continuous operation, daily pull
verlzing several thousand tons of
conglomerate rock into sand so fine
that it can be carried away by a
stream of swiftly running water.
The pump is housed in a separate
building near the shore of Torch
lake and below the mills, and it
forces a steady stream of water to
the upper portions of the mills
where innumerable jets of water
play upon the great slime tables
and jigs. Here the specific gravity
OF the fine particles of copper con.
tanned in the rock separate the min
eral from the worthless sand and
the size and force of the streams OF
water are so nicely regulated as tc
wash away the sand and yet carry
with it the minimum of copper.
