Senator's Nye and Stewart were at
Salt Lake on the 2lst. A meeting OF

Lannan, George w. Lehigh, Judge
McCurdy, George W. Terrill, Jacob
Smith and Charles Carter, were ap-
pointed by the Chair to make the re-
ouisite arrangements for carrying out
the objects Of the meeting.-Ezchange.
"And thereby hangs a tale" This
warm reception in Utah Of the two
Senators who represent our State In
the upper branch Of the National Leg
islature, has moro than q passing Sig
n~iticance at this time, which we rise 10
explain. It Is known that an IRE
pressible conflict Is now raging In that
Territory between certain claimants
to the Emma mine, o part Of whom
reside in this State and a partin Utah.
The Utah claimants are In possession
of the mine, and have the sympathy Of
the Courts, Marshals and Federal OIL
GERS generally, which Is regarded as q
long Stride in the direction Of ultimate
recovery on TINT side OF the case. An
Injunction pen dente lite was asked for
by the Nevada party, as the party out
Of possession Is called, but Judge Nc
Kean, to whom the application was
made, refused to grant 1t, notwith-
standing the company In possession
was exhausting the substance OF the
mine at the rate Of $4,000 per day.
This refusal on the part Of Judge MO
Kean was the signal for on onslaught
upon the whole batch Of Judges and
other Federal officers In the Territory,
and to this end the eminent services OF
our Senators at Washington are now
invoked. To those who remember the
success of Senator Stewart In the ma
nipulation and management Of mining
cases In Storey county, when our
Judges and Courts were given us from
Washington, 1t Is unnecessary to say
that the Utah crowd of claimants will
find themselves overmatched when
the Senator combines his genius and
tact for the management OF mining
cases with his power rs a Senator OF
the United States who Is known to
have the ear Of President Grant. The
first movement will be for the dis
placement of the entire crew Of off,
Gals now representing Federal power
In that Territory, and for tho appoint
ment of new men who will take more
kindly to the wishes and desires Of the
claimants out Of possession. Should
this plan fail, however, there will be
two lines of advance still open for the
distinguished representatives Of Ne
yada to pursue. First, q State Gov.
eminent will be proposed, In which
movement they confidently count on
the assistance Of Brigham Young,
who, now that the sands Of life are
nearly run, will consent to abandon
polygamy, in order that the Territory
over which he presides may be adj
vanccd to the dignity Of a State before
his life shall close and besides, he
feels no interest In the controversy
concerning the Emma mine, as the
Utah claimants are composed Of apos'
tate Mormons, with the Walker
brothers ut their head. If this plan o.
changing the Courts should fail, az
we'll as the one first mentioned, then
bold dash will be made by our Sena'
tors to have Utah annexed to Nevada
nolens uolens, when all would be lovely
for the Nevada claimants. All thess
| things, however, will necessarily re-
quire time, and while they are In pro
cess of development the Utah claim
ants are eXhausting the mine at the
rate. Of q half million dollars pei
month. The stake Is an enormous one
and In this materialistic age will fully
Justify the extraordinary means Il
which the "outs" propose to resort Il
recover possession Of the mine. Stat
lines and Territorial Governments vii
be made to bend, contract, expand o.
90 down before their giant strokes o
| statescrait and strategy, like the bend
ing grass before the rcaper's blade
Tie sudden appearance, therefore, o
our Senators at the Cottonwood mines
together with tho handsome reception
accorded them by the Representatives
| Of Nevada ut that place, are no Longer
matters OF wonder to those who arr
familiar with the situation /; and tina
| Nevada, In COLLISION with Preslden
Young, will eventually become mas
tiers Of the situation, we are not per
mitted to entertain q single doubt
Siiper State.
