THE H
RO
EXPOSITO
After a Year's Experience
in The North West.
Mr. Charles Morrow, at one time a
rominent man in the township of
ullett and latterly a resident of Olin -
ten, writes to the New Era as follows :
As many of my acquaintances, who are
readers of your paper, would like to
hear my views on Northern Dakota, as
a place for young men and men with
rge families to settle in, I thought I
would send you a few items, giving my
views and experiences, after a residence
of over ten months in the territory..
Well, I have not changed my opinions
any since I came here ; I thought then,
and still'think, that Dakota land and
land laws give a poor man the best
chance to get a comfortable home for
himself and family, of any place on this
continent, and these are my reasons for
Winking so :—First, the land is of the
int quality, and easily worked. Next,
it gives good yields of No 1. 'grain of
every kind. ¥ext, there are no. thistles
er briers to hurt or priek your hands,
making it a pleasure to handle grain,
instead of a toil. ; Next, you get good
crops for only plowing once after the
first year, so that the amount of labor,
compared with the labor you have to
give your land in Huron, is not over 40
per cent. Next being close to a corn
plated railroad, you can get all you
want to purchase, at old settlement
rates, and sell, everything you can grow,
for good prices, for years to come. True,
you have to pay extravagant railroad
charges, as it costs nineteen cents to
send and handle a bushel of wheat
from here to Duluth, not counting
storage there, distance, about 300 miles ;
the work ought to be done for ten or
twelve cents at most—see Chicago rates
to New York. Stillas yon can get 320
acres of good wheat land, from one-half
to five miles from the track, which will
coatyounot over $50, all told, you can
then afford to pay heavy railroad rates
and still make money. Now what a
• man wants to start with here is, three
good liorses or mules, if he can buy
them, if not, two good yoke of oxen., if
not able to get two yoke, get one, and a
twelve inch breaking plow : with these
he can break and back -set 40 to .50
acres In the season ; with th=ree horses
or two yoke of oxen he can break and
baokset 100 acres, and sow and harrow
in the seed, with the horses he can
harvest the same, but cannot with the
oxen. Now the least yield of wheat in
this locality last season was 22,} bushels
ef wheat, on land not plowed back, but
the grain sowed on the sod plowed the
summer before. All other grains and
roots were as good as could be wished
for. I am getting my seed out •of a
field of 130 acres, which yielded 33f
bushels to the acre, and I `am paying
for it one dollar per bushel here is a
small fortunein one field of wheat.
The grain is piare fife, without a mixture.
of any kind. I have often been asked
the question, "Is not the bush the best
for men without means ?" I say no, by
no means ; you may just as well sit idle
in the house on the prairie, as to chop
and wade all winter in the deep snow,
and your life in danger besides, and in
spring the idle man on the prairie is
away ahead of you, as you have still to
burn brush, log, burnoff and fence your
ten acres of land, then the stumps are
° still there and some of them will -be for
sixteenyears more ; when the man on
his prairie farm, with his yoke of oxen,
in the same season,•will have 40 acres
ready for a crop no stumps., and can use a
reaper and will have all the pasture and
Joey he wants to use, for nothing ; then
roads are quite an item, in bush coun-
tries ; I still have a dread of them,
whereas, on the prairie you can jump
in your wagon and drive to any place
you need to go, over a beautiful sward,
50 or 100 miles, and never dirty a horse's
foot or soil the tire of a wheel. Besides,
if a man cannot get a yoke of oxen or
afford to work on his own land all the
time, he will get good wages at any of
the large farms in the neighborhood,
from $22 per month to $2 per day, and
if able to get the oxen, he can get all
the land he can break at • $3 per acre,
and $2 to plow it back ; no charge for
feed, all he has to do is to take off the
yoke and all is right with the oxen:
Plenty of good water, at from 20 . to 40
shal-
low
s
'feet, and. quite
low lakes to supply cattle. Flies in
aummer, at times, are very trouble-
some, but can be endured, they are no
worse than they were in Hullett, 26
years since. The weather up to the
first of November was delightful, since
then it is close winter, but . bright and
cold ; when calm a man can work out
of doors quite comfortably, when windy
you are better in doors ; if out, have
your toes and nose well covered. Of
snow we have six inches, and the snow
that fell the first of November is here
yet. My family have had good health
since our arrival here. Tradesmen can
do well, especially carpenters and black-
smiths ; the former get from $2 to $3
per day, and the latter $65 per month,
with board.
FROM MANITOBA.
The following is an extract from a
letter received by Mr. James Naylor, of.
East Wawanosh from his sister-in-law,
Mrs. Ambrose Naylor, who settled in
Alexandria, Manitoba, ast fall. It is
dated 26th January. She says : "We
are getting alotig splendidly, and like it
very well. The weather is the finest
you ever experienced. ; it was a little
colder to -day, but for the past two
weeks it has: been bright sunny, clear
weather. There has not been a stormy
day yet this winter, and there are only
about eight inches of snow on the aver-
age. A good number still use wagons
on the main road, which is as hard as a
rock. We had a great time getting to
church on Sunday last. Just fancy
seeing three of us sitting on the frott
bob of a sleigh (a home made one) and
two men walking behind to drive the
oxen. That is the way we went. Two
- stakes were placed in the back end of
the bob, with a rope across from ,one
to the other, and a piece of carpet
thrown over them ; we then got ou the
carpet, spread a quilt over us, and away
we went. The distance to the school
house where the services are held is one
nd a half miles: A Presbyterian min-
ister preaches one Sunday and a 13ible
Christian nainiater the next. Before

add
that butter is sell-
ing at 30 cents per pound, and it pays
well to make butter at that price. Eggs
are selling at 25 cents per dozen. We
• do not eel the cold here.any worse than
we did in Wawanosh ; the winds are
the worst, but we are pretty well shel-
tered.
--0n Monday morning last, a very
sad accident happened at the crossing
ef the Credit Valley Railway at Wood -
shook. A. horse driven by Charles Ex -
tine, a milkman in Woodstock, ran
Tway at a great seed, and dashed over
the railway crosslag just as the morn -
nag express was pryoceeding east. The
conveyance was struck with reat vio-
lence by the engine and d hed to
pieces. Extine Wes hurled :bot thirty
feet, and fell on his head; he only
lived a few hours. Extine was a bach-
elor, said to be wef ll off, and qw ed an

A Mountain of Silt' r.
The captain of. a whaling v s:: jus
returned from the Arctic Oc a' , say
that while the vessel was lying
small bay It the month of one J th
rivers which empty into the oce:. o
the coast of Alaska, he, one n the
mates and four men went up th - iver
to catch salmon. At the foot of hill
bordering on the river they ceta :. ced
fishing. While the sailors we : en- ,
gaged in this work, the capta ` and
mate ascended ,the mountain, ••hick
appeared to•be 400 or 500 feet igh
Arriving at the top, they fonatd hat
seemed to be the crater of an - . incl
volcano, and around were vi. °noes
that at one time there had be n :� ter-
rible -eruption. In the crater 'ts. i the
captain noticed that the rock .•:om-
bled congealed iron after it a ' een
melted, and. undertook to kno k .ff a
piece , but could not do it, as i :� ded
and did not break with his re .: ated
blows with -the head of a broad HO -
then struck it with the blade o t .: axe,
and actually chopped it off. :. saw
that the substance was as soft a: I sad,
but did not shine: He determi ' :. to
bring it to San Francisco and h: .e it
assayed, One of the ' natio s I also
lbroiight him a piece of rock b tit

another hill further up the riv:r and
that such rock was plenty ther- . lien
the vessel arrived at this port, h : cap-
tain told his story to a gentleman ving
in Oakland, and the specimens ere
handed over to him for the •pure.:e of
having proper assays made. Th s as
done, and the piece which th c gain.
chopped off the top of- the hill t the
axe went $6,000 per ton in s' ve z nd
the loose rocks picked up on th :i e of
the hill went as high as $275, sil • e ,per

mountain of silver, and that this s only
the beginning of vast discoveries hich
will soon be made in Alaska, tick
may yet become the El Dora F to
which thousands will rush. Th. Ak-
