AintHca'i Ditcovery.
Nearly wvery stale in the I'nioit
5 making I'hlhorale and expensive
preparations to celebrate ihu four
hundredth anniversary of the dis
covery of America by Columbus.
Mitt we notice that the Norwegian
of Massachusetts have in their uiet
way celebratod the thousandth an
niversary of the same distovcry by
Lief Kri'kson. Historically it is
well cstublishtd that Columbus
must have learned the existence of
the western continent from the
Norsemen whom Im met on a pre
vious voyage to that of hi great
discovery. This fact has led many
to the re'tlcction that it wou'd have
Imwi infinitely better for the world
nnd for America had Columbus
jiever sailed across the Atlantic
ocean. Approaching live hundn-d

itunding on the coast of what is
now a mrt of .MttSHaehusetU, IW ,

uments of the former oc-cupancy f j
the Norsemen. 1 he Haga describ-1

nnderstanil how diU'creiit would
have been the record of the spread
of KuroKnu civilisation on this
continent hud the Norsemou U'cn
left to pursue their discoveries, "and
(he nations of northern, instead of
those of southern Kuroc taken sjs
hCMsioii of it." Hut erhai this is
l(oing a little too deep into tin- re
gion of might-havc-lMeu. Pe this
n it may, the Norwegians have a
right to celebrate the first discovery
of America by their countrymen.

The answer was that if miles of
railroad would put in direet con
nection with this eity twenty mining
district, and that mm gixnl miite
give more business to a raiiroati
man mm a hom o lownswp oi wj
agricultural hind. The man could
not understand it. Then he was
aakwl to Mate 1kw much freight an
ordinary farmer in New York with
HK acres of bind really gave to the
railroad in a year. He nan com
polled to nay that if it was in the
wheal region of New York the man
might nibly have for -ale at the
CtHl of tile Vt'.'t t a lliallcr of (Ml
bushels of h heat which wouhl be
, sent nwa) on the roatl. I hat ne-ans
j eighteen ton of freight. Two ton
; more would cover everything that
the man would buy. That is twenty
j Uuw. That Mould If -SO ton for a
j mile square; it Would he 8rio0 ton
. for a townshin. and thev do not
average that.
Now, if a mine produced but
twenty ton of ore per day for IttKJ
day (n ilia year, it would Ih Xh
tonn. That would esceed the whole
the w hole freighting product of two
towuHhipH in a favorable iliMrtct,
i . . .
and west of here then- are plenty o
mine that would each easily yield
three, four and even ten time
twenty lon xjr day.
Then, there 1 another feature
about it. The miner In hi daily
work uses of what merchant Hell
three times as much a any ordi
nary laborer in the ICnt. 'I hen he
earns better wagtm and he sjiends
them all. Then ho has to have
pick, guds, drill, powder, fuw?,
candle, shovel, heavy boots and
cars and tiinl er there i no end
to his dailv counHimi'tjon.
So we nee that if in these twenty
districts there could !) but one
mine in each district that would
vield twenty tor ol ore per day to
he trani)orlel on the railroad, those
twenty districts would be eipial to
fifty townhitK of the bct agricult
ural lands of the Fast And we
can H'v that 2i),tKX) miner working
in those districts would have to have
more supplies curried to them than
a hundred thousand xoplc have to
have Mipplicd them in the Kust-
Not only noiild they have to have
the materials to work u...n, but
i r . . . r I.. ..il
every (miiiihi oi im ir loo'i tmiti
nave 10 i.e .arrno lo mem e
jiericnce has eMabhidied, to the
Wonderment of railroad buildcr-,
that one good mining district is to
the railroad a little providence
And wc saw last year that the
I'niou Pacific railroad, crippled a
it wa for want of car and en
gine, notwithstanding it crippled
condition, drew a revenue from the
Tititie. mine, the mints of a single
district H'Vciity niih below here,
which was eipial to 10,U' it mile
for every one of those seventy miles,
And bv thesu- figure we get a little
idea of liuw much more imtKirtauce
mining is than any other industry
that man can follow. It not only,
when tint mining i gold and silver
mining, produce more freight than
any other occupation, but what it
prisluce enter at once into the
volume of money of the country :
that much labor is, through the
material produced, made immortal.
And so in a double way the indus-
try is n oicesinii; a iiesiui! lo the
tranHirtation combines that ban-
die the proceed, and a blessing to
the world.

marry him when he got to he a col
onel, lie never attained that des
tination, but he got into jail at
Fort Kog for falling asleep while
on guard duly. There he ate Wack
bread and drank blank coffee and
Mlent on a cot that would have
broken the back of anyWaly but a
soldier. He w discharged last
week, ami then learnt d some good
news. It was that a rich aunt had
.'died ami left him .mix.i. Like u
true man, if he did fall asleep, he
at once cot a furlough, and hunted
