THAT COMPROMISE.
what the People 0esersiiy Say OF

Sltuntion-A fault.ttnder.

That there has been n compromise
between the powerso Of the Sierra Nevada
and Union Consolidated there can DO no
doubt. The version OF the affair gen.
orally accepted by those on the CON-
stock and confirmed In some few in.
stances by private kilograms Is that
which gives the Union Consolidated As
feet OF the 29s feet OF disputed grouud,
leaving the Sierra Nevada go icet Of II
and drawing the new line "a feet south
Of the incline where the ore body has
been opened up. This is the main fea'
tuIe OF the compromise. but others such
as the discrimination of all suits, and

Of that mine. are not to DO held in too
light esteem.
The general opinion as expressed by
the general stock dealing public Is That
the fact Of a compromise ON almost any
terms is a good thing. The people feel
that a war In which they have to bear
the brunt Of the battle on both sides. as
il were, and are sure to get whipped
whoever wins. is not q profitable one for
them, therefore. the prevailing senti-
ment is one Of satisfaction that the war
is over aud the general feeling one OF
gladness. The ~conidsnce in the situ-
alton which has followed the compromise
is worth more than all else.
Last evening soon after the terms OF
the compromise were made known In
Virginia, a representative Of the NEws
had In interview with Z. ]. Baldwin.
Mr.. Baldwin as soon as he was informed
OF the situation said that for one he was
glad q settlement had been effected. II
ought to have been done long ago. He
regarded the terms exacted by Mr.. Flood
a. very liberal to the Sierra Nevada.
" Besides" said he. "the interests at
stake are too large TO make litigation
profitable to either side or to the people.
Either company can prove on trial just
what it wants to and then 1t depends on
which will give the most for q decision
in its favor"
Archie Borland was also delighted
that the matter had been settled. IL 1t
had been done sooner the late disaster
would have been averted. IL was better
for the companies and better for the
people that this wal should DO settled.
Terms OF peace were not OF so much
consequence as peace itself.
But one loud dissenting voice was
heard on the streets Of Virginia this
morning. Seeing q Nrws reporter
among the crowd who were listening TO
his innocent prattle. he begged not to
have his name mentioned. but said that
he thought the IS feet given the Union
Consolidated to be a downright steal.
The Union Consolidated had never
owned a foot OF that ground and could
never have got u foot Of 1t by law. lie
considered the ground as valuable as
ever wa the same number OF feet OF the
big bonanza. The coded iS feet was
worth at least $40. 900. 900. aud il was
all a damned robbery. Every holder OF
Sierra Nevada stock had been robbed,
and ii was q shame. A nan In this
country had no rights rs against capital.

and go away with II. The people had
been first ruined and then robbed.
