Branch Of North Missouri Railroad to
ke0kmk. E8Te &

We notice n letter from Isaac II. Sturgeon,
President of the North Missouri railroad, under
date Of Nov. 27th, written for the purpose of
allaying some sectional feeling along the line of
his road, in which he opens out the ultimate
design OF its managers. which is to construct,
in addition to the main line, branch northeas.
terly to Keokuk, and another northwesterly to
Weston. OF the Keokuk branch Mr.. Sturgeon
says:
'.This company feels great interest in the
building Of q road from some point on this road
to keokuk, and will give such an enterprise all
the encouragement in its power.
"From Mexico, in Adrian county, or Bourbon.
ton, in Boone county, it would only be about
20 miles to Keokuk. Estimating the cost ofthe
road at $50, 900 per mile. it would cost only 81.
100000. The counties on the line of the road
could easily raise 81 100000 towards its con.
strnction. This sum raised and expended, they
would find no difficulty in borrowing the bal
ance required to complete it from eastern capt.
talists, giving FIRST mortgage on their road
have named Mexico or Bourbonton as starting
points for this road. 1t may be that it would
receive more aid from the counties were it to
start further south. The road is certain to be
built, and the counties which will earliest take
hold of the matter in earnest will control its To-
cation.--[Gate City.

ImpOrtsnt--A Key to a Financial Mys.
terry.


The N. y. Register, Of last Friday says: "Only
a few days since, modern chemist took thou
sand dollars in gold eagles, and put them thro
crncble; the next day he deposited the bull
ion in the assay office. and the day after receiy
ed a bar marked 81 600"
The plain English Of this s--'sSome other me-
talic substance can be combined with gold, and
such combination will stand the assay tests of
our minis" The secret or science of doing this
was discovered in France, and communicated to
this country early last summer. The case cited
above is only one Of repeated experiments made,
with like results, at the assay Office in His city,
and at the mint in Philadelphia. AS the same
assay tests are used in the European mints, the
same results would undoubtedly follow.
Hence We irresistibly come to the conclusion
that operators, bankers, or bullion dealers, hav-
ing their headquarters in France, are engaged
in this appreciation Of the precious metals. THIS,
TO our vision, solves the great financial mystery
of the premium paid for bullion, without running
all parties engaged in it.
The Register very tritely observes-"While
old iogy chemists fill snecure Offices on fat sal
aries, modern alchemists are playing such pranks
as this. '-Thompson's Reporter.
