An Indignant Pastor.

Monroe Sentinel:
Rev. r. Plueger. pastor of the
Evangelical association mt Juda, was
indignant because the Fourth of July
committee put his name on their
posters for chaplain of the day
wherein was advertised bowery
dance in connection with other pro-
ceedings. OF course it was too late to
take the name off the bills; the mis-
chief was done, and the reverend
gentleman feels outraged. AS an Off
set to the ungodly proceedings of the
committee, the young people of Rev.
Plueger's church gave II concert and
ice cream social on the evening of
the Fourth on the church lawn, and
also set off a lot of pagan fireworks,
presumably as "A burnt oiferng-a
sort IF noisy, orthodoxical protest,
symbolicai OF what pagans will
come to In the end Of time, il they
don't quit dancing on the Fourth Of
July. AS we have before noticed,
this is very phunny world.

Briqhf Outlook for This Section.

| From Milwaukee Sentinel July IS:
| If there are two more enthusiastic
men in Wisconsin over the possibili-
ties of the lead and zinc mining pro-
positions in southwestern Wisconsin
| than are Chas. M. Dow of Madison
and Henry +. Cochems of Milwaukee
| it will be hard to find them. About a
year ago they became interested in a
group of properties and have organ
| lied a number of companies since,
retaining stock and general supervis
ion as we'll Mr.. Dow was at the
Plankington hotel yesterday to con-
| fer with his associate, and loungors
around the hotel were treated to the
wisest kind of an exposition of the
mines and future prospects of that
section. In speaking Of their particu-
| lar properties Mr.. Dow said: "We
have struck an exceedingly rich
body of ore in one of our mines and
| am in the city to consult with other
stock holders with "A view of putting
in the necessary milling machinery.
| la this connection i can say that we
did not propose to say much about
our property and the prospective
value of the ore uncovered, but
Cochems went down there last week
and as a result the fact that W . have
| struck rich ore beds is we'll estab-
| lished by this time. In addition to
ours there have been a number of
other exceedingly rich bodies of lead
and zinc uncovered.
people generally do not appear to
realize that the Wisconsin lead and
lzinc regions will, under the develop
ment now going on, become one of
| the richest mineral sections in the
world. Only yesterday ! had occa-
sion to meet one Of the best known
as well az most successful miners
and mine operators in the Missouri
district around Joplin, He has be-
come a big owner Of properties in
1.-The Wisconsin field and is looking
for more. After careful inspection
of the working mines and of the field
generally, men with years Of expert
ence declare that in ten years the
lead and zinc country Of Wisconsin
will have a mining population of ov.
er 100000.
Investors are coming every day
and the working mines and mills are
abandoning the old primitive meth
DDS in use for so many years. witt
|up-to-date machinery AID up-to-dat'
methods there will be a wonderful
impetus given to that section

The problem of living on few cents
q day is not so difficult of solution If
one cares to limit oneself to the actual
necessaries For instance, we could
point to the workers in the turpentine
forests. who labor hard from sun to
sun on bill of fare that costs not
more than or 6 cents per meal. The
average ration of turpentine hand
in the woods per week is five pounds
of bacon or pork, one peek of corn
meal, one quart Of molasses and a
pint of salt The value of this ration
is about 81 to $1.10.
The real problem, then, is not really
how cheaply may one live, but how
many of the OK .ras of eating one is
willing TO do without. - Savannah

Choice Stock and Mining Lands. !.

L
To THE EDITOR: Two weeks ago
your paper announced the sale OF
the j. B. Wallis farm of 80 acres to
Mr.. William League, of Chicago
through the Royal Real Estate
Agency, but furnished little as to the
merits of the same.
The writer, being familiar with
the property, regards it as one of the
choicest stock farms to be found.
The improvements are first class,
consisting of two large barns, one
72X40, with a soft leanto, all stone
basement; the other 72X44, used for
cattle and hay; also chicken house,
hog house, sheep house, creamery
house, buggy shed, machinery shed,
blacksmith shop and tools, grain
cribs, etc. The residence is one Of
the best farm houses in the county,
containing ten rooms, summer kitch-
en-, basement under all of house, in
viting porches, with vines shading
them; large cistern and good well,
the whole surrounded by shade and
fruit trees. On the farm are three
livihS springs of pure water, running
summer and winter, a feature of in
estimable value for stock raising. At
present there are l25 head of cattle
90 hogs, 100 sheep and IL horses en-
the farm, while the hay, oat and
corn crop thereon this year is eX-
ceedingly good
In regard to the mining value of
this property, others rs well as the
writer consider it one of the best
pieces of mining land in southwest
ern Wisconsin. By primitive pro-
cess only, large quantities of lead,
zinc and drybone have been taken
therefroin, but this is thought to be
only drop in the bucket to what
can be raised by modern process. On
less than one acre there has been
$4,000 dollars worth of zinc taken
out, and the sheet is still there, being
abandoned on account of water. This
range still has run of at least one
quarter of a mile on the farm. In
brief, there are seven distinct ore
bearing ranges on the premises, one
running full half-mile across the
farm, west to east, at the latter end
of which. some fifty years ago, there
was an open cut run to depth of 10
to 20 feet, where many thousand
pounds of pure lead were taken out.
All ores discovered on this farm are
Of high grade.
Since buying this farm there has
been discovered by drilling body
of zinc ore six feet thick on the Hen
ry Hewitt farm, one mile east of it
by the Mineral Point Mining Com
pany.
We predict for Mr.. League one of
the best investments possible to
make, should he take due advantage
OF his new possession and operate it
for all it is worth in stock raising
and mining, say nothing Of its excel
lence as IA comfortable and pleasant
home ~
