Very respectfully,
A. BLEDsoE, Comptroller.
The New United States Court.

The GAINESVILLE Cooke county, Gazette
says Mr.. Corners bill to establish The jul
dicial district Of North Texas and the In
dian Territory, meets with general favor.
"The circuit is composed of the counties
of Lamar, Hopkins, Hunt, Kaufman, Dali

Denton, Tarrant, Parker, Wise, Montague,
Clay, Jack, Palo Pinto, Stephens, Young,
Archer, Wichita, Willbarger, Baylor,

zed portion of the State known rs Young
territory, together with all that portion Of
the Indian Territory lying north OF The
35th parallel of latitude. Sherman is con-
stituted the seat Of the court"
The Gazette thinks Sh erman is the most
suituble point for the seat Of this Judicial
circuit, which embraces q very extensive
region, and though Mt present much of it
is entirely unsettled, yet the present rap
id construction of railroads in that part
of our State will cause the country to be
very soon settled, and make it necessary
to divide the present judicial circuit into
two. Dallas claims to be the most suita-
BILE place for the seat for the court, butthe
Gazette thinks that ut present, Sherman
is the most central.-[ Galveston News.
Notwithstanding oil of which, the peo-
pie of North Texas desire a District COM

when such district shall have been secur-

A New Texas Company,

The Louisville Commercial gives
us some idea of the Wichita Colon
ization, Agricultural, Mining and
Manufacturing Company organized
for the improvement and settling
up of tho counties in the north
western portion of Texas;
The immediate field of operation
of the company comprises the coun-
ties of Clay, Wichita, Areben, Mon
tague, loung and Jack. st. Louis
has been actively working for the
trade of Northern Texas, and the
completion of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad to the northern
boundary line of Texas, insures tho
consumation of herwishes.
| In the country about to be oper-
ated in by the Wichita company,
mineral wealth in unlimited pro-
fusion exists. From Dallas, where
tho Texas Pacific railroad and the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
road meet, a railroad has been COM
menced to Wichita, and it will be
completed next snmmer. In the
counties named above there are
imm ensc hills ofcopper ore, which
will yield on an average 56.H per
cent. Iron and coal also exist in
large quantities. Tho report of
Col. Forncy, who went through
this region with Col. Tom. Scott
not many months ago, gives most
interesting details concerning the
nrtural wealth of the country.
