WON'T ISSUE s.NORTH AND
SOUTH RY. BONDS *%

The town of Greenbush, in Mile
Lacs county, has decided not to issue
the bonds voted to aid Wiley's paper
railroad, the action following the at
torney-general' 5 opinion as follows:
December 81, 1913.
Martin B. Mattson, Esq, Box So,
Princeton, Minn.,
Dear Sir: Your favor Of December
3Oth to Attorney General Lyndon A.
Smith has been handed to me for at
tention. You enclose certain papers in
relation to an attempt being made to
secure bonds from your township to
aid in the construction of railroad.
The proposition in question seems to
be signed by one John NJ. Wiley, who
calls himself "'Chief Engineer in
Charge of Location.'' It does not ap-
pear that he is an officer Of any rail-
road company, OF authorized to act for
any such company. L am not familiar
with any law Of this state that author
ICES a township to issue bonds for
the purpose stated. There is a law
that permits town to aid in the
construction Of railroads by issuing
it's bonds under certain conditions and
exchange such bonds for stock OF the
railroad company.
Your attention is called to sections
277l, 2772, and 27S3, G. S. 1894, which
are too long for me to quote in their
entirety. l am enclosing you, how
ever, Opinion No. II, Selected Opin-
ions for May and June Of this de-
partment, which in part answers the
questions that YOU submit. You will
notice that the law contemplates an
agreement between Il "railroad com
l,uuv and a town.
Yours truly,
Clifford L. Hilton,
Assistant Attorney General.
In spite Of this opinion, says the
Princeton Union, which is plain on
its face, Wiley, the promoter of the
alleged railroad, appeared at Blue Hill
on election day and urged that the
bonds be issued, telling the voters
that the proceeding was strictly in ac-
cordance with law, and holding forth
glowing future inducements. AS a re-
suit the bonds were voted. 1t was a
surprise to the Union that after it
had quoted the law which set forth
clearly that the bonding Of the town
to I: private individual would be il
legal, the citizens voted to grant such
bonds. 1t merely goes to show, how
ever, what one smooth schemer can
accomplish.

INDIAN SUPERSTITION AND
METALS


Crow Wing relative to iron ore may
cause many of the old settlers and
mixed -bloods to recall the supersti-
tion which existed among the old full
bloods that if they disclosed to any
white man the location of any mineral
spirit would become visible to them
and they would Immediately die.
The reports of old Indians years
ago that there was all kinds of min
eral in Crow Wing, Morrison and Todd
counties, other localities which they
mentioned that are in those counties,
are proving true, but in those days
they were regarded as the wild tales
of ignorant Indians.
The Indians have also claimed more
recently that the mineral belt ex-
tended east of Mile Lac and have
shown specimens, principally Of cop
per, to substantiate their statements.
But the same superstition which has
always existed still prevents them
from giving any information freely,
or to the extent of leading any one
of white blood to the places.
Many years ago old Nah ehe-gah-
bow showed the late Robert Fair
banks and Henry Beaulieu where there
was, as he thought, some gold, but
when they reached the place in Todd
| county they found an unusually large
| deposit of what is commonly called
"fools gold' which is specie Of iron.
Thirty-fve years ago or more sew
eral mixed-blood members Of this res
ervation, while on a log drive in Crow
! Wing county, found a place where
the soil and rocks were discolored, and
there they got a large piece Of copper
weighing a good many pounds This
they carried along with the drive until
they reached Little Falls, where they
sold it to the late Jonathan Simmons
and another man. One of these mixed
bloods agreed to take Mr.. Simmons to
the spot where they found the cop
per, but on account Of the old super
stition finally refused to show it.
Thus have Indians always refused
to show men who might have made use
of it where there was any mineral, and
it is possible that even at this late
day they are also prevented from dis
closing the location of minerals, which
they claim to have found even upon
this reservation, on account Of their
surerst;+;on
It would be a good thing for this
reservation if there is any mineral
within it's boundaries, and from indi-
cations and the specimens which have
been found and assayed, we believe
there is.
