lumber have already gone fo 5ard
for its construction
The claim owners at Tern.llion
lie are daily growing moru en-
thusiastic as their work progresses.
A report from there says daily
assays made on the spot are showing
not only magnificent fissure veins
and lodes,. containing gold averaging
$50 to the ton Of ore, and silver
ores yielding from 500 to S., 900
per ton, with the finest prospects Of
rich yields. There is not a claim
yet duly investigated and tested
that can be bought at any price.
There are hundreds Of tons of both
gold and silver ores already thrown
out.
The reports Of quartz blasting
reverberate thru the hills and noun
tains like artillery on an extended
battle field. The Vermillion Falls
company have already taken out
over a hundred tons of ore from
their silver lode, which yields 500
to the ton of 1000 pounds. A New
York company, under the leader
ship Of Mr.. Simonds, St. Paul's big
ice dealer, has erected a saw mill on
Pine island, and are running on a
large scale. This, with the Yer
million Falls company's mill, which
is in full operation, will be able to
supply all the lumber needed. The
road between the lake and Duluth
is in good condition for pedestrians.
Quartz from the mines on Ely island
is also showing an increasing rich
ness at each assay. Major Newson
is back at the mines, after a visit to
st. Paul, and is one of the busiest
and happiest men there. The mem
bers of his Mutual company are all
on the high road to great riches.
An excursion party Of about fifty
persons from Eau Claire, Wis, came
sailing into this port yesterday
on the handsome little
steamer, Cutter. She was decorated
from fore to aft with evergreens,
With flags and streamers floating to
he breeze, and keeping time to the
stirring music of a fine brass band.
They start on their return trip to-
morning.
