of respect to the memory OF your honor.
ed brother and Wisconsin's splendid
citizen, Mr. w. II. Bennett. whom !
knew some sixty years ago and remem-
Der of his purchasing the Tribune from
George W. Bliss.
Resting from all his labors,
His life's course nobly run.
| think he heard the Master say
In sweetest tones, well done Well
done. "
AS ] write of these days Of long ago
there comes across my vision from
memory's storehouse faces, places and
events innumerable, all crowding for
recognition; but in this letter am in
clined to give preference to the earliest
industries of dear old Mineral Point"
One of the most important, outside
of lead ore mining, was the Spensley
lead smeltering furnace. The building,
| presume, has long since fallen into
decay. Ii would be interesting to know
how many thousands of tons Of ore was
melted up in that old building. During
the civil war days | have often watch
ed the molten stream flow into the
molds. AT that time most of the lead
went to make bullets for the Union
Army, so that the old town furnished
men and material for war.
The next old industrial landmark was
the old Touring mill owned sixty years
ago by Thomas. Jenkins, later by Billie
Dave. In the last years of the fifties
| used to go with my brother John for
bran which was dumped out on the
ground back of the mill and for which
we would pay ten cents for any kind of
a sack full Nowadays we pay two
bits for hat full.
But few of today will remember the
tannery that at first was in an old build
ing just opposite Terrill's Hotel. later
moved up beyond the old Buffers Dam.
This was operated by Whitney Smith
who lived just below the old Jerusalem
pump He always kept most beauti-
full flower garden, its perfume being in
rare contrast to that of his old tannery
ArgaI's brewery. another old land
mark where we used to go for a quart
of yeast for our mothers bread making,
now a-days we can carry home the
equivalent of a gallon in our vest pocket.
There, too, was Gilman q Spellman's
brewery, where on Saturday, ffty.fve
years ago, Jim Prince and | would go
for brewery grains for the cows, ten
cents a bushel, warm, right out of the
watts. Referring to prices, recall the

buying of eggs at Toay and Allen and
Leanahan's stores at FIVE cents per doz-
en- or six dozen for twenty-five cents.
Many fine beef roast from the old
Curry meat market. ten pounds for
fifty cents. This was fifty-fve years
ago.
The greatest industrial blessing that
ever came to the old town was the Zinc
works. The company commenced buy
ing dryhone, and | think in 1859. paying
four dollars a ton for | presume. thous-
ands Of tons; by the time the war closed
they were paying sixteen dollars. For
several years they simply reduced the
ore by process, shipping the product
to LaSalle for final smelling. recall
an amusing incident about the time we
first discovered what dry was. An
eccentric young fellow went ~ 10 the
old slaughter house and gathered up a
lot of dry bones and took them to the
furnace for sale, He was sadly dis
appointed to find thew were not the real
thing.
Whata marvellous industry has level-
oped from the stuff that wa thrown
away in connection with lead mining
for half century before it was discov-
cred to be of value The old minors
were going TO California, to Pike Peak,
to Lake Superior and to Panama seek
ing wealth. while at home they were
walking for years over Acres Of Dia-
monds "
| am wondering how many of the
young people of Mineral Point know
how, and where. the first lead ore min
eral was discovered Well, it was on
the hill just opposite "Shake Rag"
street and thrown out by badger bur
rowing. This was what we called float
ore. When the miners commenced
work on that bill the women in the few
houses that constituted that street
would at noon call the men to dinner
by shaking a rag on pole as a signal,
and thus its name.
In these days | write of there were
but few streets that were known by
name bat the old town has put on some
modern airs and so | believe you can
locate a person without referring to
what hill or hollow they are on or in.
There were Jerusalem, Commerce.
High ST.. Boilers Hill and Strikes

the years Of the civil war and few
years just after, Commerce was indeed
an appropriate name for that thorough
fare, for South Water street OF Chicago
