It means the “Land of | God.” Bold settlers planned that state, which would have been an is- land of civilization surrounded by red-skinned savages, so long ago that the story is all but forgotten, Gold towns have risen in our gold- en west, caused tumults, scattered wealth, decayed and become Ghost Cities. But the metals that lured a host of men to what might have been Manitoumie still come out of the ground. They have been coming out of the ground for 200 years; since 1728. It was North America's first mining rush. Philip Renault, a Frenchman, brought in more than a hundred San- to Domingo negroes in 1728 and start- ed to sink shafts, He had with him! almost as many artisans in silver. They had been enlisted in his cause in northern France, Belgium and | Holland. Renault was a friend of John Law, { brains of that vast scheme which has come down in history as the Missis- sippi Bubble.

Law offered 50,000 shares for sale in the Compagnie des Indes and 300,000 profit-mad people battled for right to buy them. All this excitement was started as the result of rumors coming down the river that vast treasures of silver lay somewhere up the Mississippi valley waiting to be taken out. Per- haps it was the greatest mining ex- | citement that the world has ever known. | So Philip Renault, his hundred black slaves and his artisans in sil- ver went up the Mississippi.

It had a daily pistols | newspaper seven years before Chi- cago got one, In its heyday Galena had a pop- ulation of 30,000. That included Rag town where the floaters lived. Ga- lena was built on the Fever river. It | had brave stone wharves where Mis- sissippi river steamers tied up. The wharves with iron rings in them are still there, but the river is gone; lit- tle more than a rivulet now, General Grant marched down the main street of Galena one day with a black his teeth and pipe between ag grip in one hand.
