DIVISION OF THE LAND.

Ii is understood that the Madison
& Portage Railway Company and
Farm Mortgage Association, claim
a share Of the certificates which are
asked for by the North Wisconsin
Railway company, on account OF
the completion Of the forty miles of
road. under the terms OF the law of
the last session of the legislature,
comforting upon that company the
st. Croix land grant. This claim is
based upon the fact that, by the
terms of the original grant, these
lands were given for the construct
ion of road from Madison, VIA
Portage. to Tomah, Etc. The Mad
ison IL Portage Company claim
that portion belonging to the road
between these two cities, and the
Farm Mortgage Association be
tween Portage aud Tomah. The
North Wisconsin Company puts in
a claim for all the lands. L is pro-
bable the matter will be aiiudicated
before the courts, aud we hope the
parties will take measures to have 1t
promptly done. We have no par
ticulars as TO the condition of the
case; nor can We speak of the merits
of the claims of the different parties.

THE ST. cR0LI LAND GRANT

4 e 81. CAOlA Ia v II G h-i-A 4. 81
Our telegraphic columns recently
recorded the circumstance that the
i. CroiN Il Superior land grant case
had been argued before the Sapreme
Court Of the Uuited States, and tha
the court, aS usual, had taken pos
session of.the papers and reserved
It's decision. The real question in
controversy before the court Of last
resort i the one raised by Mr. jus
tee Miller, who is of the supreme
bench, AMI who, sitting a> q Circuit
Judge here in St Pau, two years or
more ago, decided that although
the conditions on which the lands Of
the i. Croix & Superior grant, made
to the State Of Wisconsin tor the
purpose Of aiding in the construction
ca railroad, had nos been fulfilled,
nor any part Of them, yet that the
equitable title 10 the lands rested in
the State, under the terms Of the
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1874-12-19

grant, until Congress or a court of
competent jurisdiction had declared
them forfeit. On the strength of
this decision Of one Of the ablest
and most clear headed of our adiu-
dicators, who has a winning way Of
his own of making his robust opin-
ions the supreme law Of the land,
the Legislature OF Wisconsin has
twice disposed of the grant in ques-
ton. Under the last grant, to the
North Wisconsin Railroad Com
pany, some forty miles of new track
have been constructed All this
in the expectation that the national
as well as the State government will
recognize the work done as done in
COOL faith, and that the lands de-
voted to the purpose of aiding in
the accomplishment Of the road
will be decided to the men who have
rightfulIy earned them.
The opponents of Justice Miller's
view of the case, who are fighting
the State Of Wisconsin on techni-
cal plea, claim that the State of
Wisconsin long ago alienated her
interest in this land grant to the St.
Croix, Superior and Bayfield, Rail
road Company, which has done no
work, and that the same rule which
vests in the State Of Wisconsin,
under Judge Miller's decision,
the title to the lands until a
forfei ure is declared by compe-
tent authority, gives to the St.
Croix Superio- aud Bayfield, Rail
road Company a paramount claim
to all the rights involved. As the
question is now under consideration
by the Supreme Court of the Uni,

THE BEGIygIEG or ThE END.

THE BEGINNING or The END
Yesterday, was practically inaug-
urated a proceeding which, prose
cuted to its legitimate conclusion,
will effectualy settle the claims of
our neighbor Duluth, to have the
only harbor at west end of Lake Su-
perlor. We refer to the action com
menced by the State of Wisconsin,
in the Supreme Court Of the United
States, in Equity against the City
of Duluth and the Northern Pacific
r. +. Go. for the purpose ofabating
the nuisance Of the Duluth Canal,
the Subpoena in which was yester-
day served on Dr. Smith, Mayor of
Duluth, BY q Deputy Marshal Of the
Supreme Court of.U. 5.
The service Of this writ was the
auspicious beginning, which places
the defendants within the jurisdic
ton OF the Court, and the proSecu-
tion of the suit which will surely
follow, unle~ the conduct of Atty
General and Hon l. G. Sloan, and
the Justice Of the cause, are sugges-
tive of the end.
We understand that the Bill OF
complaint of this State alleges that
the st. Louis River was wont from
time immemorial to discharge its
waters into Lake Superior through
the natural mouth of said River,
and that until the Duluth Canal
was cut, said river had no other
outlet for its waters than the natu-
raj mouth opposite Superior; that
the Duluth Canal was cut by deten-
dants and by means of the canal =
large portion of the waters of the st
Louis was diverted from the natural
mouth and thereby the volume ofthe
discharge through the natural
mouth is greatly lesSened, and that
the PRAYER Of the Bill Is that the
Canal may be closed and the wa
ters Of the St. Louis restored to the
natural channel! And as the fact is
indisputahle, the remedy cannot be
denied.
The business men of Duluth not
only see but have interpreted the
hand writing on the wall, and are
already concerning measures to avert
the impending judgment, or lessen
the effect Of it, by suggestion Of
compromise, which while it sounds
at first reasonable, is in substance
NJ better than the present state OF
affairs. and in fact equally unlawful.
they now propose to close the
canal and 92So the natural mouth,
and make new and only opening
through M,aneSta Point, nj some
point between the canal au3 entry.
1t will readily be sen, that If It
should be almittel thnr u1ler any
circumstances tn. entry could b
closed, and i new canal cut, jr is
also limit eI thai the present ca
mi may renain where ID Is. Tn'
one q omission involves the other;
aud if any canal may be cut 50 as to
divert the water OF the ST. Louis
from the natural channel, it is of
little Importance to Us where such
cur be made, for il one is permitted,
others will be wanted aud made, till
Minnesota Point will afford 40 more
protection to Superior Bay, than the
piles to one Of Bradshaws Pound
Nets.
The Court will doubtless see the
wrong and provide rhe remedy, and
all that the people of Superior need
now to DO, is quietly and with what
patience they can command, await
the announcement Of the end of the
proceedings of which yesterdays
service was the practical beginning.

TAYLoR's FALLS, Dec. y, 1874.
Elitors st. Paul Press:
The prospectus and articles of
agreement Of the " Taylor's Falls
Copper Mining Company publish
ell in your advertising columns dur
ing the past week, is not an attempt
to attract and make believe some
thing tangible where nothing really
exists. 1t means business. The
fact has been pretty well known for
years that copper deposits exist at
this place equal perhaps to any that
may be found anywhere in the Lake
Superior mining region. The tests
that were applied some years since
proved this fact beyond controver-
sv Professor Hall, of New York,
gentleman acknowledged to be
one of the best and most reliable
biologists in the country, was salts
fed with the richness of the depos-
its, and so stated. But for causes
not necessary here to name, the at
tempts at developing this source of
wealth were abandoned, and until
this year very little has since been
done in his direction.
During last spring and summer
our elIow-citizen, David A. Cane
day, has been employed in ca ling
the attention Of capitalists engaged
in copper mining to the feasibility
Of commencing operations on a scale
that VIII at once test the CONNER
cial value Of our deposits. lie has
succeeded SO far as to have promise
Of abundant aid if our own citizens
will put their shoulders 20 the wheel
and prove by their acts that they
have confidence in the enterprise.
1t is t. this end that the "TayIor's
Falls Copper Mining Company" has
been organized by our people. Work
will be commenced at once, and
shafts sunk on Rayine street, almost
in the heart Of the city.
But perhaps the commencement
OF copper inning at iayiorS rails IS
only the mIuatory step towards de-
veloping the immense mineral wealth
Of this part OF the State. You viii
