WHsrERs MINES AND Miners An article In The
Tribune q few days since, in speaking OF the Mines
in Wisconsin, moved Dubuque, with all It's lead,
ucross the Mississippi river. Dubuque is IN Iowa,
and Booths Cave, Of which the article alluded 10
speaks, is about q miles from the landing al Du-
buque It il a most extraordinary deposl, OF lead,
bu, is not worth hundreds of thousands, as repre-
sented. Lead in pigs is worth al the landing about
50 rs per 100 lbs No just estimate can be made
OF the amount Of lead In that cave, but practical
man ventured last summer 10 otter 1900 tor IT.


We were amused at one character we heard Of
in Dubuque. He owns rich and productive lead
mine, which might be worked at proh' OF thoul
sands per annum bur he will not raise an ounce OF
mineral except pay his debts, tor he Is sure that
no leg treasurer5 will swartwout with his property
If it remains in Natures bank--a lesson that he
learned when the wildcat system pcrvaded that
country few years since.


Il has been estimated that the amount Of lead
sent to market pays only 25 cents per day to the
operative. Some spend hundreds, and even thon.
sands, in digging, and then fail OF finding lead.
The poor operative is paid by the month, and the
experlmsnter sometimes fhds himself reduced TO
the same level, after weeks and months Of indus
tIious and unsuccessful labor. H. l..


Moo.EHsAp LAKE, MAINE.--lt may be some oi
the readers Of The Tnbune are already projecting
plans for summer excursions, and II they knew how
easy it is TO reach Moosehead Lake they might
mark i, down for visit. Leaving this city Mon
day afternoon, the traveller may sleep in the hote
at the foot of the lake the next Thursday night -
He will take steam TO Bangor, and thence by stage
or private carriage over good ROAD 10 wlthln lew
miles of the lake, where he will take the saddle -
The ride will give him a relish for those delicious
trout that he will get for supper. After good
hearty nights sIecp he will ARISE and look out on as
wild scene as his fancy ever pictured. Directly
up the lake Kinnco rises from the bosom of the
sleeping waters; on the right Spencer mountain
lifts It's head TO the clouds, and the left unbro
ken front lies before HIM and the mountainous Ca.
madam frontier in the distance, During Summer
this vast wilderness solitude is seldom disturbed,
save by the moose, dear aud fawn and the wild
cnribore. The ponds and streams Of all the country
about the lake are filed with ron, and the woods
afjonl ahundan, game. J. s. Of Maine.
