session, that the laws would all be pub
lished and ready for delivery in six weeks,
if so, the law can be referred to before
the terms of Notaries expire.
The reason for enacting a new law,
containing different provisions, if refer
to numbers, was, that there ap-
peared to be a supe~rabundance of No
taries in every town and county in the
Territory, and tosuch an extent that con-
fusion instead of convenience was the re-
suit.
WARRANTS.
Since the passage of the Revenue.law
which allows all Territorial taxes 10 be
discharged with Territorial warrants, and
County taxes with County warrants, and
City taxes with City warrants and City
Scrip, there has been a rapid rise and a
ready sale, especially in warrants given
by the Territory, and a reasonable per-
centage on the others.
Territorial Warrants are selling here
now at forty-fve cents on the dollar, and
appear difficult to obtain even at those
figures.
Capitalists are making purchases Of all
tia. can conveniently be found in the mar
ket, and consider the investments as safe,
and calculated to yield them a handsome
profit, and timely return of the principal
and interest. County warrants are also
looking up and are certainly a source
from which a respectable percentage may
be obtained.
THE GOLD MINES.
A young gentleman returned from the
Auriferous Regions Of Western Nebras-
ka, a day or two since, bringing with him
letters and samples of the dust which he
procured with his own hands, and an
swers inquirers that there is no doubt as
to the abundance Of the precious ore
He said there were about four hundred
in the mines when he left, and he met
twice that number along the road pushing
encouragingly forward for their golden
destination.
Some spectators are reported to be
among the advance companies, and al
ready cities have sprung into existence,
with the usual squatters' cabins reared
therein, as the commencement of the rise,
progress and expected future golden pros
pect of accumulated fortunes.
Preparations are being actively made
for security and comfort during the win
ter, and prospecting has continued until
they have satisfied themselves that gold
exists at least for a range of over a hun
dred miles within the limits Of Nebraska.
What is to be the result of all this excite
ment, no one is capable for the present
of fathoming. The whole country is ev-
identity exhibiting symptoms of the Yeliow
fever and persons are restless and anx-
iously awaiting a convenient and suita-
bic season for their western exit.
Our towns and country are apparently
to loose a large portion Of their popula-
ton for a short time, if not permanently.
thereby giving way to a different and new
class Of citizens who are seeking western
homes, fortunes, and rapid speculations,
in the rise Of new deprecated property.
The getleman reports the roads good. and
the small streams we'll bridged, with but
few difficulties or distractions TO encoun-
ter IN accomplishing the journey of six
hundred miles, that being near the dis
lance from Omaha to the gold mines.
Dealers of every kind and description
are preparing for the supply of emigrants
in the spring, both at home and on the
road, and in the mines, which will neces-
sarily result in the accumulation of large
stocks of groceries and provisions, and
every article desirable for the trip.
