For the purpose of showing what is
done on the Mississippi in the lumber
line, wo propose to describe a small
lull owned by the celebrated In
dealers, lwiapp, .Stout & Co , and des
tined for the Dubuquo inurket. What
tho mastodon of the ancient world was
to ull his fellow quadrupeds, this raft
is lo all others thut now or ever have
floated on the river. It arrived and
was fastened lo the shore a short dis
tanco above Eagle Point, about 12
o'clock yesterday, having niudo the
trip down from Reeds Landing.at the
mouth of the Chippewa river, a dis
tance of 205 miles, iu four duys. The
average lengt h of lime required by the
compuny is three days and a half, but
the crew were delayed by high winds,
which accounts for the tardinoss iu
this instance.
Whut will our readers think of a
raft which contains one million eight
hundred and thirty live thousand nnd
evjht feet of lumber? That looks like
a big story to tell, but that is whut
the raft contains lo a fraction. View
ed from a short distanco it looks like
an island and covers an area neurly
equul to fivo acres of ground. It has
224 cribs, 10 feet wido, and 32 feet
long, making a raft altogether 645
feet long and 224 feet wido. In addi
tion to tho lumber mentioned the rafl
carries 610,000 feet of lath, TO.OUO feet
of shingles, and G,UIIU feel of pickets.
Ibis is the ninth raft brought down
by Kuapp, Stout & Co.. the present
season, all ot the former averaging a
