Ortonville, MINI, April 15.-In the
granite industry of the United States it
may be truly said that westward the
star of empire takes it's way' for
supremacy has now passed from the once
famous !" rock-ribbed granite hills of
HOld2 New England to imperial Min
nesota. The fact is attested by the blue
ribbon recently received by the Con-
solidated Granite company, of Orion
VILE, MINI, bearing the signature OF
David A. Francis, president Of the St.
Louis world 3 fair and announcing that
the company has been awarded the
worlds fair gold medal for the SUI
periority of Ortonville granite for build
ing and monumental purposes,
Aside from the enterprise Of the Con-
granite into worldwide prominence,
there is. a geologic reason why this
honor should come to Minnesota. From
a geologic standpoint the Minnesota,
GRANTEES may be regarded as the "heart
center' Of the rock formation which
underlies the North American Continent.
Granite consists of quartz, feldspar and
mica, tn equartz being white or greyish,
the feldspar reddish or flesh colored and
the mica black. The quantity and dis
tribution Of these Constituents de-
| termine the value of the stone. Granite
is an igneous rock, that is to say, one
formed by the action of fire. The
] Ortonville GRANTEES show that they were
soidifed under immense pressure and
under slow cooling process which gives
them their fine grain, remarkable firm
! ness and their quality, when polished,
of taking and retaining a wonderful
! brilliance for an unknown length Of
time. &c.:
The geographic location of the Min
nesota granite unquestionably has an
important bearing on their quality. The
waters of the state on it's southern
slope find their way thru the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico, on the northern
slope thru the Red River of the North
into the Hudson Bay and on the eastern
slope thru the Great Lakes ard the St.
Lawrence into the Atlantic. To the
westward there is a gradual ascent until
the Rockies are reached and in pro
portion as the elevation westward in
creases the quality of the granite de-
creases. The Minnesota GRANTEES there:
fore may be regarded as the "golden
mean between the two extremes repre-.
sented by the New England GRANTEES
on the one hand and the Washington
GRANTEES on the other. ="

There are at present over 10000 stone

twice that number Of quarry men, max
ing a total of about 100000 skilled stone

( II General Consideration.
The geographical location Of Mime
sofa as a granite distributing center can
not be over estimated, situated as it is
at the source of the two greatest wat
erways on the continent and having ade-
quate railroad, communication with all
parts Of the country. The New England
quarries,s altho% in advance Of the Min
nesota quarrles, as regards material
equipment, are already. Handicapped in
competition by their lack Of Transports
ton facilities, while the state Of Wash
ington quarries are still in their infancy
both as regards equipment and trans
portal ion. facilities. Geologically, geo
graphically and commercially, therefore,
Minnesota should long maintain it's as
cendancy as the leading granite produ.
cling state of the Union, which has now
been attained by, the development of its
natural resources thru commercial and
Industrial enterprise of. a high order.

Cured Patients.

People who have had cancer and
been cured, do not like to have their
names and addresses published in the
daily papers and thus be pointed out
by a curious public. They are senst-

and Bentley do not insist upon or ex-
act from their cured patients the
privilege Of publicly using their names.
But they will privately refer you to.

granite begins near the source of the
Minnesota, which is the outlet Of Big
Stone Lake, and extends several miles
down the river. The outcrop, Of course,
is merely the index to what lies beneath
the surface and scientific investigation
indicates that the supply Of granite in
the Ortonville field is not only. readily
accessible, but practically inexhaustible.

The following Geographic informa-

ipterest tn our readers, since Captain
Mitchell was we'll known in this city

"A special to The Tribune from ST.

Mitchell and his slayer, John Thomas,
colored, today rendered a verdict that
Captain Mitchell came to his death at
the hands Of the negro while in the
discharge Of HE duty, and that the ne.
gro met his death from a pistol-shot
fred by Captain Mitchell. The latter
feature Of the verdict caused surprise,
as II was generally believed that the
negro had been Slain by a mob. The
jury, however, claims to have had
proof that Captain Mitchell shot the
negro fatally after he had received
mortal knife wound from him, and
that the negro was in a dying con.
dition when taken to Jail and actually
dead before the mob got possession Of
him. Excitement ran high at St. Pc
