AT LONE
Much Development Recorded in the
Tonopah Miner.

On the western slope of the west
range of the Lone mountain foothills
there is considerable activity on the
Copper Belt.
The shaft of the Enterprise Mining
company is now down So feet and good
progress is being made. On the west
of this McFadden and Wilson have
uncovered the extension of the Enter
prise vein showing nearly 4 feet of ore
averaging IA per cent copper, and a
shaft is now being sunk on the vein.
At the McMullen-B annerman group
an entirely new parallel vein of copper
ore has been opened up which is from
8 to 10 feet wide and assays from 8 to
IA per cent copper. The other ore
body has been uncovered for a width
of 80 feet and assays from $28 to $72 a
ton in "copper", gold and silver. The
property is under pond to T. j. Cos
tello, who is preparing to do a consid-
cradle amount of development work.
On the eastern range w. +. Kane is
doing extensive work at the Princess
Maud. A blower has been installed in
the shaft and a crosscut is now being
run from the 200-foot level to a par
allel vein outcropping on the surface,
which should be cut in about 40 feet.
Stone buildings and stables nave been
built for the winter and other perma-
nent improvements are being made.
At the southeast end of the range,
the Paymaster mine is being developed,
work at present being concentrated on
the vein struck in the crosscut from
the 200 level.
The within at the Anaconda-Tonopah
has been completed and sinking re-
sumed. The well being sunk by this
company is down S5 feet, but has not
yet struck water.
The Richard-McNeiIl lease at the
Argenta is showing up very well and
the leasers are sacking two tons of ore
every three days and now have nearly
twelve tons ready for shipment.
The shaft of the Columbia Gold and
Silver Mining company is nearing the
100-foot level and high grade shipping
ore is being raised. Drifts on the vein
will probably be run at this depth and
the sinking of the shaft resumed.

having hard work to get one of his
patients, a small boy, to take the medi-

offered the little fellow five cents if he
would take it. The offer was accepted,

handed him the money.

SECLUDED COTTAGES
Estates on Lake Shore Hidden From
Land Travel.

The most beautiful property on the
lower lake is, generally speaking, IN
known to the public, because necessarily
unseen.
There are many large and important
estates clustered together around the
Minnetonka clubhouse that are perfect
in themselves, being away from the
general run of traffic and to be seen
only from the water.
Of these, the most beautiful is GER
tainly Crest Haven, now owned by Mrs.
William Donaldson. This magnificent
property is approached from Cottage
wood and contains eleven acres of a
promontory that commands the whole
lake in every direction. It faces the
broad water on one side and the shell
tered bay of Carson on the other, at
fording a double value and an always
sheltered water. Across the bay is the
J. Burton, a house that was conceived
tect. It, too, stands on a high hill,
to nature and always wild, slope down
ings. To the north is Hotel St. Louis
and further north the very beautiful
and luxurious estates Of Mrs. Passmore.
R. NJ. Bennett and others.
None Of these beautiful places can
ever be seen by the tourist, they are
as invisible to the vulgar gaze as If
they did not exist, and ave people well
versed in Minnetonka topography would
hesitate before committing themselves

THOUGHT
! TONkAD
1t Was Not Until 1869 That the First Summer Lake
Home Was Built by S. c. GaIe-The Lake First
Explored by Soldiers From Fort Smelling in 1872.

An important part of the charm of
Lake Minnetonka lies in the ]fortuitous
combination of waters and the beauti-
full primeval forest growth that has
been largely retained. The lake lies
Just in the edge of the "Big Woods
a term that used to mean a very def
Snite thing to Minnesota people, but
which, with the general passing of the
forest, requires explanation. The "Big
%deciduous forest, sweeping in a broad
belt from the Mississippi river, at
about the mouth of the Minnesota,
southwest thru the state.
This fine body of hardwood timber,
valuable for the uses of civilization
and indicating rich soil, was the prime
attraction for the first settlers, and
also drew the first pleasure seekers.
As soon as Minneapolis began to emerge
from the wilderness itself, it's people
especially those accustomed to eastern
forests turned their thoughts to Min
netonka when on pleasure bent. At first
only a picnic or camping ground, the
first permanent summer residence was
built by S: c. Gale at Maplewood in
1869. So far as records and recollec-
ton go the next cottager was Harlow
Gale. who built his house on Bright
wood island, that has become the most
familiar landmark on the lake. Neigh
bors joined them each summer in
steadily increasing numbers but the
first decade of Minnetonka's history as
a summer resort does not record a large
number of residents.
Going farther back than the first
cottager, the written history of Mime
tonka begins with the record of the visit
to the lake in 1922 of Joseph R. Brown,

a drummer boy from Fort Smelling;
John Smelling, son of the commandant at
the fort, and perhaps two companions.
They reached the lake by following the
windings of Minnehaha creek, whose
first lame was Browns creek, from the
fact that this soldier made a claim at
the mouth of the creek. The party car
ried it's exploration as far as the upper
lake, making camp on one of the islands.
They gave no name to the beautiful
sheet of water, and there is no other
recorded visit to the lake until in 1851,
when George Davis and two compan-
ions in an exploring trip passed around
the entire lake.

Element, for in that year, April 10,
Simon Stevens, brother of Colonel John
H. Stevens, the pioneer of Minneapolis,
and Calvin futile set out with a weeks
provisions to reconnoiter for land. They
received their information from Philan-
der Prescott, the Indian trader at the
fort, who cleaned his information from
the Indians, who told of "big water
to the west, confirming the tradition
of the whites. The explorers supposed
the lake to be distant a journey Of two
or three days, and were much surprised
to reach a large body of water, since
called Gray's Bay, before eating their
monday meal at | o'clock. They pushed
on across the ice to Wayzata Bay, past
Breezy Point to Big Island, where they
camped. They explored the North Arm
and crossed from that to the upper lake.
They returned thru the natural channel
between the lakes, the old Narrows,
where they discussed the feasibility and
possibility of navigation thru it.
They selected the site of the Mime

ner in 1852, but the rush of settlers
came in the following year, when claims
were taken all about the lake. The
first settler on the south shore Of the
lake was Stephen Hull, on whose land
at Lake Park was included the old mar
rows and West Point. He was followed
almost immediately by William Lith-.
gov, whose claim included part Of the
old state experimental fruit farm in
Wildhurst. His cabin was on Locke's
point, then called Lithgow Point, after
him. 1sl
Mr.. Lithgow was an interesting and
rather unusual figure in a pioneer set
Element, being an educated gentleman,
of means, whose cabin was well sup
piled with books and other evidence Of
culture and travel. He was the first
white victim Of the cruel waters of
Minnetonka. He was drowned in 1854,
being caught in a gale with his sail
unreefed.
He was fascinated with the wild life
Of the forest and had written such
| glowing accounts of it to his friends
that he had induced his mother and
aunt to come out to spend the winter
with him. The same day his body was
recovered on the beach Of Northome
they arrived in St. Paul from Boston.
In spite of the fact that the lake
shores were early well settled for a
rural community and now have a large
: summer population, Excelsior has been

and still is the only village Of much
size and business on the lake.
How Excelsior Started.
The village was projected in New
York, being a colony known as the Elk
celsior Pioneer association, organized
in 1852. George M. Bertram, president
of the association, visited Minnesota
in that year and selected the site, and
while in the west met and interested
R. B. McGrath, then living in Dubuque.
Mr.. McGrath was the first actual set
tier, for he went to lake early in May
to build a house on the village site for
Mr.. Bertram. The first Of the colonists
to arrive was Rev. Charles Galpin,
whose village property, long held by his
widow, is being parceled out this
spring, according to the provisions of
her will. The village was plated that
year and was formally named the fol
lowing winter by a vote of it's citizens.
The anne of a good many of the
early settlers about the lake are pre-
served in the names of points, islands
and bays, altho a number of these are
rapidly passing into disuse and being
forgotten. Among these settlers thus
kept in mind are NJ. S. Cook, Frank w.
Halsted, Oliver Locke, William H. Fer.
guson, John Carma, James and Francis
Maxwell, James Holmes. James b
Brown, Robert Maxwell, Stubs, Peter
Gideon, Carson, Robinson, Harrington

tonka Mills dam as the best point Of
settlement on the lake on account of
ats arm to St. Anthony, it's power
and the accessibility of timber. They
marked out their claim at the Mills
and, returning to it the following week,
cleared a path and prepared to build
their cabin. In June, Stevens and Hor-
ace Webster poled two b~atteaux Of pro-
visions from just above Minnehaha
falls to the claim, and lear the end of
the month a distinguished party made a
trip to Minnetonka. The party included
Governor Ramsey, Colonel Stevens,
George F. Brott, sheriff Of Ramsey
county; DR.. Alfred r. Ames, Edgar
Folsom, Jack Haney, Simon Garvey and
John G. Cairns. The two b%atteaux
were poled up the creek to the, outlet
and used for making a trip around the
lake. On this occasion Governor Ram
sey christened the lake, confirming
the Indian name, which means big
water.
Work was begun on the dam in Sep
TENDER, and the mill commenced saw
ing logs the next summer. One of the
early jobs was saving the square oak
timbers used in the construction Of the
first suspension bridge for Minneapolis.

FARMS TURNED TO FRUIT
MINNEToNKA FARMERS MAKE
GOOD PROFIT BY JOINT MAR
KETING OF BERRY CROP.

Berries and small fruits are becoming
the mainstay Of the north-shore Mime
tonka farmers. Moreover, general
farming and the raising Of all sorts of
and field products are be-
coming less each year. The large forty,
sixty and eighty-acre farms are giving
away to the small ten and ~ffteen-acre
patches, and the farmers are going into
berries.
The Minnetonka Fruit Growers as
ISOLATION is, in a measure, largely re-
OF the berry business on the north shore.
This association, formed four years
ago, thru its manager, William Hursh,
markets the entire berry crop Of mem
bers of the association. In this way
the individual farmer and grower loses
no time in marketing his products. H.
merely takes his fruit to the station,
receives a receipt for the amount de-
livered, and once a month receives a
check from the manager for his berries.
During the season Of 1904 over $780,
900 worth Of berries was marketed
by the association and the proceeds di-
vided among the members.
Strawberries, raspberries, blackber-
ries and a few currants are the only
fruits handled by the association. The
best market is the local western mar
tket, including western Minnesota and
the Dakotas. The twin cities are gen.
orally flooded with outside fruit, and
prices are generally not SO good as cal
be secured where the fruit does not
come in competition with southern anc
