The fact is that these bankers and capitalists don’t understand the necessity of this road as we shippers do. or that reason Hughitt has the more easily pulled the wool over their eves.

Thief, Caught AN INTE The Division of the Estate of the Late Platt Saunders, The matter of the division of the of the late Platt Saunders was argued be- fore Judge McCulloch yesterday and taken under advisement by him. The case is an interesting one, involving eral questions of law that have never been tested before in Nebraska, in addi- tion to showing up a peucliar state of one of the litigant's domestic relations, The estate of Platt unders went at his death, some years ago, to is son, John K. Snunders, to be held in trust for his heirs, The property was sold to pay claims against the estate, and lett a_balance of bout $4,000. John K, previous to the sale, had disposed of s undivided half interest in thetife lease to a man named Smith, who assigned tne mortzage to one Gaskell.

Such is, however, not the fact, There is indubitable evidence that long before the fisrt man hunted in the gloomy forests that girdle these wild and lonely shores—long years before the Jesuit launched his boat upon the W of the Getchee Gamee, perhaps before “‘Adam delved and span, ace of men, in numbers as the sands on the shores, toiled and hammered and beat copper—pure native copper—not only into implements of warfare, but withoutdoubt for transportation to other lands, A cvilization must then have ex- isted far superior to any since known mong the native tribes north of Mexico. Thousands of years ago a race or people worked " the copper mines m the upper peninsula. They worked the native copper and were so faradvanced in the mechanieal art to be able to handle masses of ore weighing many tons. Their tnplements were tashioned 1o do - skill- ful work. In working the copper mines of to-day these implements are found at a great depth, showinge that ages have clapsed since this prehistoric rac isted. The geological formations be evidence that thonsands of h lnhsml.\ wee these people disappearcd. Vho were they? Whence came they? and whenee did they got Their untin- ished work has been [aid before secien- tists, their tools and muplements of stone and copper are to be seen - museums, and collections in Milwaukee and other cities, any r liable data of the existence or extinction of these people of the long ago. “The southern shores of Superior were irst explored in 1641 by two Jesuit S Small bands continued to ex- the region until 1760, In that ye: exander Henry visited the region.” He soon became famihar with the fact that copper existed in the country. He pub- lished a book on the subect and deseribed 5 explorations. ' toric race had worked these mines was not dis- covered until the middle of the present centur The ancient excavations are found "in all parts of the peninsul There is searcely a vein of copper in the whole district that does not show evi- dence of ancient workin In places they even extend in the rock from thre to sixty feet. The method of mining was to heat the rock with fire and then b, pouring on water and pounding ith their stone hammers to_disintegrate and separate the ore. A careful s hofallthe old records shows that the Indians who were found 1 the country were ignorant of the mines and the uses of the metal. In 1847S. 0. Knapp was prospecti th range nenr Rockland, a 1 to Ontonagon county, Michigan. He opened a test pit, the surface outeropping of cop- per-hearing rock giving evidence of hid- den treasure, and when eighteen fect from the surface he discovered a mass of nearly pure copper weighing more than six tons. Tinsis r ded as the most wonderful mineral discovery ever known, from the fact that the covper wa Imost pure, and showed conclusively thatit had Poon: worked and abandoned by @ probis: ace, 5 1 had been raised s and secured therc upon tumber > had decayed and the mass remained in its place supported by the soil. It had been hammered all over until its surface was perfectly smooth. In this pit, as many others, there were found great numbers of stone hammers, bits of burned wood and a_copper chisel. Over this mass, drawing its life from the soil, stood a hemlock tree which showed 325 distinet annual rings of growth; this was standing by the stump of o much larger tree which had grown died and decayed since this pit had been dug, and this mass had been raised from its bed and the brands beneath it had been barned and the soil gathered above it in the long lapse of ages. l'lwn on the desolate Isle Royale mul- titudes of hamme , hav been found. An old mining captain, speaking of this mystery of the ages, said to the writer that thousands and thousands of men were engaged in mining in t un- known epoeh Of human existence, ages before the d; of the Pharnohs, or even hefore the birth of *Abraham Haran- Terah-Sot,’" the world’s gray fathers.” In speaking further upon the subject, th's gentleman, ptain Parnell, said that something must have occurred to disgust those old fellows--they threw down their hammc id quit work sud- denly. Perhaps the question of labor nd capital was oven then brewing mis- chief; if 50, it must have been & suecess- ful strike, for the toiling thousands quit vork for good. Everything points to the act that work was stopped ata mo- ment's notice. In the bottoms of all the pits or dig: gings lurge numbers of stone hamm. and copper ehiscls are found. “The ham- mers consist of small bowlders of trap rock weighing from three to thirty pounds. A groove around the stone shows where the hanale was tied on with a withe, These “digging: re 8o abund- ant in the copper region as to cause no sarprise. After tie discovery of the mass copper there were many more of @ simi- lar nature in different localities, extend. ing over a yast area. The existence of these “mu‘ivutdi"unrzs" was suggested by depressions in . the ground. Later enormous masses of copper were found at Rockland, and for many years great wealth flowed in upon the owners of the Minnesota and National mines. “The six-ten mass of eopper found by Mr. Knapp was afterwards ith great difliculty, raised, taken down the Ontona- gon river, and sent to the Smithsonian, Where it still remains, if 1 am correctly informed. These facls heighten the in- terest in that faseinati excitement of exploring and prospecting for new treas- vhe T this sl wild and comparatively unknown portion of the vorthwest. There ean be no doubt that vast and un- toud wealth n silver, iron and copper yet await t rzy and toil of men, backed by the capital, pluck and enterprise of men who have already renped the fruite of industry in other fields. Some will win and ofhers will fail.

Some of the Wonderful Made by Hoys Popular Science: Some of the most im. portant inventions have been the work mere boys, The invention of the valye motion to the steam engine was made by oy, Watt deft the engine in a very in complete condition, from the fact that he had no way to open or close the valyes except by the means of levers operated by the hand.

"As he worked levers, he saw that parts of the engin moved in the right direction and at’ the exact time that he had to open or close the valve Ho procured a long, strong cord, and made end fast to the prover part of the engine and the other end to the valve lever. Ulien he had the satisfaction of seeing the engine move off with porfect regu larity of motion. A short time after the foremen came round and saw_the boy playing marbles at the door. Looking at the enwine, he soon saw the i nuity of the boy, and rlso the advantages of o great an invention, Mr. Watt then ca ried out the boy’s inyentive genuis in a ctical form, and made the steam engine a vperfect antomatic working machine. The power loom is the myen tion of a farmer boy who had never seen or heard of such a thing. He eut one out with his knife, and after he had got 1t I done he, with great enthusiasm showed it to his father, who atonce kicked it to piece ng that he would have no boy about him who would spend his time on such foolish things. The boy was afterward apprenticed to a blacksmith, and he soon found that his new master was kind and took a lively interest in him. He had made nloom of what was left of the one his father had broken up, whicn he showed to his master. The blacksmith saw that he had no commion boy as apprentie i that the invention was a very valuable one. He immedi- had w loom constructed under the supervision of the boy. It worked fo their perfect satisfaction, und the black- smith furnished the means to manufac: ture the looms, the boy to receive one: haif the profits. In about a year th blacksmith wrote to the boy's father th he should visit him, and oring with him a wealthy gentleman who was the in- ventor of the cclebrated power- loom. You may be able to judge of the astonishment at the old home when his son was presented as the inven- tor, who told him the loom was the same as the model that he (the hier) had kicked to v ay ago. Smeaton, the great mechanie when a boy disdained the ordinary playthings of boyhood. He collected the tools of workmen and both- questions. _One_d ving watched some mill.wrights, he was discovered, to the great distress of his family, in ' situation of extreme pger, fixing 1 wind mill on the top of a n. His tather sent him to London to study law, but he declared that “law did not smt the bent of his genius,” and ad- dressed a memorial to Ius father to show his utter incompetency for legal pur- suits. His father finally allowed him to do as he wishe s he who built the Eadystone i the midst of the wave Carefor the Children Children feel the debility of the changing seasons, even more than adults, and they bo- come cross, peevish, -and uncontrollable.
