That the days of trapping in North
ern Minnesota are nearly ended, and
that the industry will soon be thing
Of the past, were the words spoken by
George Denis, who has returned from
the international border, where he has
been on combined fur buying and
land seeking trip.
Il saw no white trappers on this
trip" said Mr.. Denis. 'sThey were
all Indians or breeds. I got some fox,
marten, mink and muskrat furs. Otter
and beaver, you know, are barred.
It is against the law to handle these
furs in Minnesota, North Dakota, Mon
tana and Manitoba. There are some
beaver and otter yet in northern Mimi
esota, but they are no longer plentiful.
l got few silver gray fox skins on
this trip, and heard of two black
fox skins that had been sold up north
last winter. The blacks are very,
scarce and are quoted from $3.50 up.
but there are some skins that bring as
high as $1,000. 1t all depends upon the
quality of the fur. / shall soon leave
on fur buying trip eight hundred
miles north of Winnipeg, beyond the
Porcupine Hills. There, I will be at
liberty to buy beaver and otter, and
there are doubtless ermine to be had
there also."-St. Paul Dispatch.

Represents Millions.

Two agents of the syndicate who
propose to build a lumber manufac-
turing plant adjacent to Jackson and
railroad up the Pearl river valley
north-eastward from the city are now
engaged in closing the final details for
the mammoth enterprise, which repre-
sents an investment of several million
dollars. This railroad and manufac-
turing plant for the capital city was
secured for Jackson almost entirely
through the efforts Of J. G. Clair, in
dustrial commissioner of the Illinois
Central road. 1t means the erection
of plant that will employ between
800 and 900 workmen on the grounds
and at the timber tracts owned by the
syndicate. Hundreds of cottages are
to be built adjacent to the plant and
it will require sixty-fve freight ears
to haul to this city the machinery
alone to be used by the concern.

More improvements.

Captain ]. 7. Jones, the man who
has made Gulfport, had decided to
spend an immense amount of money
additional on the harbor at that place.
Although it was impossible to learn
what the exact amount was to be, it is
reported that when completed the i'm
provements now projected will cost
close to million dollars. Work is to
commence at once, and will be COM
pleted within the next two years.
; When the present plans of Captain
Jones are carried out the capacity of
the harbor for berthing vessels will
be quadrupled, and it will be possible
to harbor several hundred ships at one
time.
