Senatorial.

In the nomination of VI. d. Barron
for State Senator, we we're in no way dis
appointed, For some months past it
required 40 prophetic eye to discover
the fac: that the Judge would be our
next candidate; nor does it require any
stretch Of the imagination, or remark
able sagacity in discovering the relation
Of facts and figures, to arrive at the con-
clusion that his election is certain. He
will move out Of his own district by
over one thousand majority; we will
leave st. Croix county to neutralize
Itself, while Pierce county will doubt
less give him over FIVE hundred majority.
These are cur figures, and the result
viii show the correctness, or the incor-
rectness of our prediction,
Pierce county he'd not the romotest
claim, or excuse, even, for demanding
the nomination, and to US, such de-
mand seemed to be nothing less than
bold, unwarranted assumption; hence
the folly Of demanding it. Conceding
it to the Northern Assembly District,
we could do no less than to allow the
delegates from that district to name
their man. Having by our own volun-
tary acts gone into the Convention. what
excuse can there be for not abiding its
action? 1t adopted as good railroad
plank as we can reasonably ask, aud
that being all the one in the platform,
the plank becomes the platform itself.
There need be no quibbling OIL
prevarlcation about this matter, for the
reason that Mr. Barron perfectly un
derstands the position he has taken, and
what his supporters expect of him
That be will redeem the pledges he
made in his speech upon accepting the
nomination, so far as in him lies, no
reasonable man will for q moment
doubt
1t should be remembered that the
Lake Superior people are quite as en-
phatic in their demands that the land
grant shall build a road from them to
the Mississippi river, as are the inhab-
j ,nts Of re c, un'y.

AT tue Senatorial Convention at
Hudson on the Goth inst, the following
preamble and resolution, were unani
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, The great need ofthe st.
Croix Valley is increased transportation
facilities; and, WHEREAS, To that end
il is desirable that a railroad be built
connecting the ST. Croix Valley with
Lake Superior: Now therefore, Re-
solced, That our candidate for State
Senator be instructed, if elected, to use
all the honorable means in his power
to cause the St. Croix Land Grant To
be bestowed by the next Legislature
upon somo railroad company that will
agree, and put up adequate securities
to fulfill such agreements, to build a
railroad from Superior city and Bay
field ON Lake Superior. ria Hudson
and River Falls to Prescott, or some
other point on tho Mississippi river, in
Pierce County, Wisconsin, said road to
be begun at Prescott, or at some other
point on the Mississippi river, in
Pierce County.
The act of Congress comforting the
grant, limits is southern terminus to
a point not farther south than the north
line Of township twenty-five, on Lake
st. Croix; hence the land grant road,
as such, cannot be built to any point
on the Mississippi river. l. must fret
touch Lake Sc. Croiz The words, "or
some other point on the Mississippi
river" 10 the above resolution, arc
therefore supcrauous, and Prescott is,
to all intcnts and purposes, within the
meaning Of the resolution, as well as the
as the act Of Congress, the southern
terminus Of the contemplated road.

IRON MouNTAIS.-The question OF the
supply of iron in America is engaging
serious consideration. The prospect IS
that, owing to the decrease of the yield
of iron in other parts OF the world, the
mines of the United States may be called
upon to furnish gradually all the more.
We have every reason to believe that our
own neishborhood within half sphere
south of fifty miles to the radius, with
Carson for center, there is to be found
en- unlimited supply of very superior
iron ore. In the Copper Belt y range
in the Walker River regions there is
massive towering mountain OF iron,
which measures, at the base, nearly
three miles in one direction and abont
two in the opposite. The ore from this
mountain is magnetic, which is more
readily and cheaply manufactured into
superior quality OF steel. Assays made
in San Francisco show the ore to con-
tain eighty per cent. of iron. while the
ore from the Missouri Iron Mountain is
said to average only from fifty to sixty
per cent. The subject demands special
investigation, which we hope we shall
be able to make for a more definite re-
port at an early date.

News FRoM CoRSUcoPIA.-D. 3. Ma
gee, formerly of Carson, arrived here,
| Friday, from Salt Lake via Cornucopia.
He proceeded from the latter place to
Eiko. accompanied by Captain c. c.
Warner, Postmaster at Virginia city
some years ago, whence the two struck
out north for the famous " horn OF
plenty'' district, which they reached after
two days Of travel-having stopped by
the way occasionally to fish and hunt.
They represent the country between
Eiko and Cornucopia as first-rate farm
ing and grazing land, and say, that stock
selen and rancliers have pretty we'll oceu-
pied it, The travellers reached the scene
Of the excitement last Monday and re-
manned until next day when they set out
on their retlrn, feeling like all the rest
who had visited the district, that 1t IS no
humbug. 1t the time Of their visit there
were about three hundred men at the
camp living il tents. There was big
tent used for hotel. There We're three
saloon tents, and an assayer was prepar-
ing place to do assaying in. The pros
pectors had been friendly, and 20 row
had occurred up to the time OF their
leaving-only one case Of jumping hav-
ing occurred. The great drawback to
the prosperity Of the camp is the pow
erty OF the inco.ners, the most of whom
carry in only a few dollars with them.
On their way back to Elko they met sew
enty-two men going out to the camp,
fifteen or twenty of whom were afoot
and had nothing but their blankets
strapped on their backs. The road to
Cornucopia is in frst-rate order up to
within few miles of the camp, and Will
be shortened probably twenty miles by
cut across from the present road which
winds around on the elbow formed by
Independence valley. Supplies are easily
trans ported from Elko. The creates:
embarrassment that will trouble the
miners in the further development OF
their claims is the scarcity of wood which
has to be brought in from the timbered
land Of Cope and Bull Run districts.
The pTospectors have not gone down
more than twelve or fifteen feet yet.
The ore is rich. Everything promises
well. The camp is jubilant.

soon as the school is reopened. The
advantages of debate BRIGHTLY studied)
are so great that every young man in
town should feel interested in the sub
ject. There are SO many in Carson Of
the right age to be protited by practice
in oral and written argument, that from
the number a large fiour;shing society
might be formed which may be made to
include only those among whom there
wocld not be sufficient inequality of
culture to interfere with wholesome
competition. And, to insure the success
of the society still further, subjects may
be chosen for discussion concerning
which the intuitive Judgment and every
day experience render US sufficiently
conversant. Where it is possible, every
query should be studied, in order that
the expression may be always to the
point, and that the worst OF Labits--talk-
ing to hear ones self talk-may not be
