FIRST APPEARANCE.-The stock of
the X. h. Consolidated Mining Com
pany made its first appearance in the
San Francisco stock board yesterday.
1t Is quoted at 50 so per share, which
we consider very low, in view of the
remarkable productiveness of the
mine. There is no question that it is
one or the most extensive and valu-
able mining properties in Eastern Ne
vada. As soon as the public become
acquainted with this new stock we
snail expect to see it advance to ten
or fifteen dollars per share.

THE PRo.RATA LAMA FaRMER's S vIEy or IT.

t. H1ILapA1E, ILL.,, June a. 1873.
TO tAs Editor Of The Chicago 1ri1uno:
s1n: In tho weekly Issue Of your paper Of
June 18, you take what seems to mo to be an
erroneous view Of tho pro-rata law. The posi-
tion ia assumed that the railroads will charge
pro rata for long distances, on through freights,
what they now charge for local freight Tho
farmers presume tho opposite. They take tho
position that tho railroad companies have boon
we'll paid for carrying through freight, or elae
thpy would not hnYo carried it. Yhep, instead
Of increasing through freight pro rata, az you
assume, they will be required to reduce the local
freight pro rata with the past price OF carrying
through freight. That, you will sec, puts
difforont coloring to the whole matter.
You may soy tic railroads will not 1elnco their
local rates pro rata with the through ratoB OF
the past Then there will bo q hard fight. Tho
farnlors do not beliove but what the freight can
be thus reduced, and tho railroad companies
still be ablo to pay reasonable dividends on bona
flde stock. '':'
Under ouch statement OF fucts, tho farmers
Of Iowa and KanHas do want d pro-rata law.
6uoh law would In no. wise increase through
freights, aud would greaty leasen local flsights.
Tho railroad companies will have hard work to
convince jury TINT they have heen losing on
their through tranBportationa in tho past. II.
