An accident occured this morning at the bridge across the creek leading to the court house ‘which might have terminated with ‘fatal results. J.

At present the Little American mine isin the hands of a good, re- sponsible company—the Lyle—and is being competently . developed by its manager, O. A. Watske, a West Superior man. The five-stamp mill that was put up at Rainy Lake city will not again be used, except in com- bination with the machinery of an ex- cellent 20-stamp mill owned by the Lyle company, which was formerly erected for use upon an_ island xnown as Dryweed island, where at one time it was thought that a valu- able deposit was to be found by stnk- Ing upon a comparatively barren vein. Tins idea, however, proved fallacious, and the property was abandoned. Capt. Watske, when he took charge of the Little American, decided to abandon the old shaft, where vagaries in so-called mining had been per- formed enough to make the angels weep, and _ going a little to the north and West, he has put Gown a good 12x8 working shaft, which is bot- tomed in good ‘pay rock at 180 feet At the 110 foot level a station has been cut, and drifts are being run both ways along the vein with highly favor- able ‘results. Another shaft will be put down on the vein this summer west of the present one. The mine is owned by Bevier Min- ing and'Millmg company of Duiuth, and the offer that 1t has refused, or at least has asked for time to consider, is said to have been made by a New York syndicate. The Lyle company has a long lease of the mine, the con- sideration for which is in part paid by the results obtained from the stamps. The present offer is understood to be ona basis of $200,000 for the tee simple of the p:operty and the balance to bespaid to the Bevier Mining and Milling company In the same manner as'agreed upon in the lease to the Lyle‘ company. It 1s _uaderstood, however, that half a million dollars is the price asked for the mine. PIONEER DAYS IN WHITE HOUSE. Mrs. Adams Made a Drying-Room for Her Clothes of the East Room. “Congress first. assembled in the new Capitol on November 17, 1800; and John Adams, ther. President, took up his abode in the Executives Man- sion,” writes ex-President Harrison of “The Domestic Side of the White House” in the May Ladies. Home Journal. “Neither the Capitol nor the Executive Mansion was fully com- pleted. The proportions of the house seemed to Mrs. Adams as ‘grand and superb.’ The ,plan was taken from the palace of the: Duke of Leinster in Dublin. ‘If they will put me up some bells and let me have wood enough to keep fires,’ wrote’ Mrs. Adams, ’I de sign to be pleased.’ But, ‘though literally in the woods, no oné €ould be found to .eut and cart firewood. The few cords of woed.thathad been provided had bgen expended to dry the plastering. -A* Pennsylvania wag- on, secured through a “Treasury clerk, delivered a cord andj ‘a halt of wood, ‘which is,’ wrote Mrs. Adams, ’all we . M. Thomas of Koochiching, | have for this house, where twelve fires are constantly required, and we are told the roads wi'l soon be so bad that it cannot be drawn.’ “The society ladies were ‘impatient for a drawing-room’. in the Executive Mansion, and this when Mrs. Adams had ‘no looking-glasses but dwarfs,’ and not a twentieth part lamps enough’ to light the house. There was no in- closure, and she made a drying-room for her clothes of the great East Room. ‘The’ original cost of the White House is said to have been a little more than three \ hundred thous- and dollars, and something more than that amount was expended in restor- ing it (after its destruction by fire in 1814), and in the buiding of the north and south porticos.”’ To Visit the Seine.
