was brought about by a fight between some of
the speculative managers and another set of
capitalists and mining spectators, who had

The explorations of Prof. Hayden's survey
ing party in the far west, as detailed in his re-
port to the Interior Department, show how
little even our best geographers know of the
prominent features of the great territory lying
nearly due westward of Chicago. A canon
