FORTY-FIvE THOUSAND ACRES OF
MINERAL LANDS.
An Enterprise La Which Knoxville is
Interested.

We are glad to be able to announce to our
readers this morning the compromise OF the
long contested suit of Buckley vs. McEwen and
Wiley, involving the title to some OF the most
valuable coal and iron lands in Tennessee.
Some facts about this property, and litigation
may be of interest to our readers In July
1851, Mr.. Charles A. Buckley, of New York
City, instituted a suit in the United States
Court in this city against McEwen and Wiley,
for five thousand acres of land lying on Coal
Greek, in Anderson county, embracing all the
. coal land on that creek, except the famed mine
now being operated by the Coal Creek Coal
Company. The suit was tried i'll 1858 and re-
suited in a verdict for Mr.. Buckley. An appeal
was granted to the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States. Upon hearing before that tribunal
in 1865 the judgment obtained here was re-
versed and the case remanded Two trials have
taken place since the war; and in both instances
the jury failed to agree, standing six to six.
NATURE OF THE COMPROMISE.
Finding it would be impossible to end the lit
lgatlon in the probable lifetime of either party,
1t was thought best to enter into compromise,
by which the lands in dispute might be made of
some value to East Tennessee. Mr.. Buckley had
claims to other large tracts of land conflicting
with the titles of Messrs. McEwen & Wiley.
Upon investigation, it proved that their respec-
tive titles to about 45 600 acres of valuable land,
lying Oh Coal Creek and New River, in Ander-
son county, conficted. 1t was, therefore, de-
terrlined, in compromising the particular suit
referred to, that all their claims should be con-
solidated and perfect undisputed title be there
by secured to one of the largest and most valua-
bic mineral properties in the South.
A JOINT STOCK COMPANY.
To this end Messrs, McEwen & Wiley and
Mr. Buckley consolidate their titles. each party
holding an undivided half interest, and they
will at once tprocure a charter and organize
themselves into corporation for the purpose of
mining and developing their property. They
have now title to all the mines operating on
Coal Creek, save the one mentioned above
They have in addition inexhaustible fields Of
pure bituninous coal, the amount and
value of which can hardly be computed. On it
they have superior iron and timber and fine
water power. Mr.. Bulkley is retired mer-
chant of New York CITY, He has an abundance
of capital and large experience as a business
man. His reputation, both in the East and
Europe, will give the proposed company
character and standing that will enable it to
carry on its business on any scale that may
prove desirable.
This property has for years been in part but
imperfectly developed. The most Of it has
never been improved. A new impe tus will now
be given to our industrial interests We will
secure by the compromise given great advan-
tages as city. We believe it will prove the
nucleus for an immense manufacturing and
mining business which will soon add materially
to our wealth and population,

Why Is IT,

For the past week or ten days, the people III
this locality have experienced many vexatiouS
delays in the receipt of their mails. There is
scarcely a road connecting with the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad that has
not in that time missed q connection, and some
of them two or three. We all know how fire.
quently Gen. Mahone'S road fails to make con-
nection with this line, leaving us without our
usual eastern mails. @#..#f E
The prompt connections made at both ends of
our East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Road,
must be on account of its superior manage
ment. Its officers are men of more than ordi-
nary energy and capacity, and to this fact are we
indebted for the prompt arrivals and departures
of our trains. In the early part of the week pas
senger train was delayed atChatata two hours and
ahalf by an accident to freight train, but the
conductor resolved to go into Bristol on time
and did it, making the connection there with
the eastern bound train. The secret of the mat
ter must then be in the superior management of
our home road, and we allude to it here and in
this place, on the principle of giving honor to
whom honor is due"

4 considerable number of colored people
have passed down the road from Virginia at

that others are going North. They report dull
times in Virginia. 1t does not argue well for
the thrift of State to see the labOring element
leaving her borders.

struction by fire.
1t seems that a stove in the room occupied by
the Knoxville and Ohio and Knoxville and
Charleston roads stood near the wall, and the
heat became so great as to penetrate through
the zinc coating and set the wooden ceiling on
fire. 1t was soon discovered, however, and by
the application of a bucket of water was ex-
tinguished before doing any material damage.

Water Works,

At the last meeting of the City Council, a
clause in the address of Mayor Van Glider con-
tanned an allusion to the growth of the city, and
more than an allusion to the necessity existing,
and which increased every year, for a system of
water works that would supply the citizens Of
Knoxville with water for household purposes
and in sufficient quantities to afford ample pre-
lection against the ravages of fire.
That the Mayor was correct in the premises
no we'll informed man will deny, and we under
stand that-presuming on the desire of our citi-
zens. as expressed by their chief eNecutive-a
proposition will soon be presented for the official
consideration of the Board of Aldermen to con-
struct works of sufficient capacity to meet the
wants of the city.
The gentlemen who have made the PROPOSE
ton are backed by ample capital, and are pre-
nared TO commence work at any time. Bust
ness men, of course, favor it as with water
works the rates of insurance would be greatly
reduced and private citizens would certainly
favor it for Its convenience after having tried
