Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1879-05-15

What are the business men, of Morris
and Stevens County, going to do towards
subscribing stock to aid in the preliminary
survey of the proposed line of the Little
Falls & Dakota Railroad? Are they going
to aid this enterprise with their customary
liberality? In view of the fact that they
viii soon be called upon to assist in this
matter, these questions are pertinent and
should receive serious consideration. The
benefits and advantages offered by this line
are many and have already been enumer-
ated, and, with but very few exceptions,
all agree that the benefits we claim are not
over estimated. 1t is further admitted by
all that it is simply question of time ere
railroad will cross at or near this point
hence. it is not question of road, or no
road, but question of whether we are to
secure whatever benefits there may be, or
allow some other point to secure these ad-
vantages to our detriment. The charter
locates the road and has it touch at this
point, this is good SO far as it goes. What
we now want is individual effort on the
part of every resident of our county to aid
in pushing the line toward completion.
Il is necessary money be raised for pre-
liminaly survey-the amount required is
s., 900 and this county must contribute its
proportion of that amount. If we do not
contribute literally the effect will be i'm
mediately felt and work against US, for
other points watch our motions and any
indecision or wavering on our part will be
attributed to lack of energy or indifference.
We now have arrived at point where
prompt and decided action is necessary and
We appeal TO every resident of town and
county to aid and assist in furthering and
forwarding this promising enterprise. The
amount of stock-or the proportion of the
amount-to be subscribed by us is but tri
fle and yet it is necessary that the sum be
realized
We might say to our readers that this
county will be called upon at an early date
to vote bonus of two thousand dollars
per mile to aid in the construction of this
road These bonds are, however, not to
be issued until the cars are running on the
road. This secures US in the event of a
possible failure of the non,completion of
the road after bonus is voted.
On the construction and completion of
this line of road depends our future pros
perity and progress, hence, we must act
and not only act, but accomplish, else, moi
only will we remain at q standstill but in
all probability delay and hesitation will re
suit in our being pushed to the wall by the
more enterprisiug. Heretofore our bust
ness men have shown commendabe ener-
gy sagacity and enterprise, they have been
always active in promoting and aiding al
our undertakings and feeling that the pres
ent opportunity is one which may not
again occur-we take occasion to appeal to
our citizens to be prompt and liberal, by Sc
doing you can secure the prize-beyond q
peradventure-while the opportunity il
golden. Delay, hesitation and indiffer
ence at this time, will work disastrously.

The Winnemucca "Silver State" has the
following: Tho Credit Mobilier mine in
Paradise District has been bonded by its
owner, A. NJ. Sadorus, to n Sacramento
company. The mine is situated about five
miles from II. II. SCOTS ranch in the range
of mountains which divide Paradise and
Eden valleys. 1t has been prospected by
its discoverer and owner by n shaft to a
depth Of 60 or 10 feet, ard carries the rich
est gold-bearing quartz of any mine yet
found in this part Of the country. One
specimen of the ore, exhibited here, was
valued at 500, and experts thought that
it contained more than that amount in
free gold; i'll fact, q streak Of gold almost
as thick as n twenty-dollar piece ran
through the specimen. The district in
which the mine ia located is about eighteen
miles north Of west from Golconda, and
probably about twenty-five miles from
Winnemucca, and If the Sacramentans who
bonded it display any energy in developing
it, another mining camp will spring up in
the Paradise mountains before next fall, as
the success Of one mining company in the
district will lead to the development Of
other mines.

Orange Culture In California.

Orange growing in California has been
assuming such dimensions as to make it
doubtful whether in few years it will pay
to raise the fruit at all. Every landowner
and settler in the ~neighoroood of Los An
geles is ambitious to have an orange grove;
houses are surrounded by them, and they
even border the streets. Many Of the long
er-headed cultivators of the ground are be-
ginning to plant almond and walnut trees,
foreseeing a time when the market will be
glutted with oranges. The success in rails
ing bananas has not been very encouraging
thus far. owing to the injury done to the
young trees by the occasional night frosts.
1t is believed, however, that harm is to be
feared from the frosts only v lille the BAN
ana trees are very young, and that if
they can be nursed through their infancy
they will prove hardy enough to
survive. Oranges, figs, almonds, olives,
bananas-these are among the fruits pro-
duced by the wonderful Golden State. as
we'll as the choicest grapes, fit for wine
and raisin-making, and all the fruits Of
temperate climes, in the greatest profusion
and of the highest excellence.

A Great Enterprise.

We take the following wonderful tale
from the Salt Lake Tribune" Of a recent
date:
On Monday evening. Alexander Majors
received a dispatch from Jay Cook, of Phil
adelphia, who is now in Chicago, stating
that the contract for the sale of the Great
Horn silver mine, Frisco, Utah, had been
signed by all the parties in interest. The
sale, it seems, in for one-half the mine, for
the consideration of 80. SOC. 000-thc larg-
est sale that has taken place on the Pacific
Coas in the past seven years. 1t is the
purpose of the owners to stock the mine
for $40, 900 ,000-the actual net amount in
sight, to-day, is SIS ,000, 000-which is
something unparalleled in the history Of
any mining enterprise in the world. Mines
usually are stocked for five times more
than they show, but this is a worthy ex-
ception. 1t will not be put on any Stock
Board at present, but will be offered by
syndicates. or associations Of moneyed
men. There will be 400, 900 shares, at q
par value OF S25, which will be offered to
those wishing a safe investment. at Sl2.50
per share. In Salt Lake, Mr.. Majors will
have the sale Of stock and will open books
for subscription in a few days.
The management will remain in the
hands Of the original owners for the pres
ent, and the facilities for working will be
increased to the requirements of the mine.
The company contemplate erecting - or
is furnaces, and will produce 100 tons Of
bullion per day with the greatest ease.
Utah Southern Railroad will be extended
to the mine and smelters by July, thus
rendering easy communication with the
outside world and giving every facility for
the cheap transportation of bullion, ore,
coke and coal.
A city Of from 5000 to 10, o00 inhabitants
will undoubtedly spring up in the vicinity
Of the mine and smelters. and Southern
Utah will take its place among the first
silver producing sections Of the world.
Salt Lake, Of course, will remain rs it is
to-day, the money centre Of this rich Terri
tory, and reap immense benefits from all
these contemplated improvements.

The Iusnne ASYLUM.

The Austin ReueiHe advocates the cstab-
lishment of an Insane Asylum in Reno,
and the Reno Journal say that it has cost
Nevada over $500, 900 for the care OF its in
sane in California. Had they been kept at
home, the amount paid out to Sheriffs and
for transportation would have been saved.
That sun would provide an asylum at
home. Under the present contract system
Nevada is paying out si5, 900 per year. We
have LA patients. for which We are paying
STA per day. For a year it amounts to
SAL $40. To this is to be added the cost to
the State Of transportation to Stockton.
Now is the time, if ever. for Nevada to
keep her own insane. By SO doing, we be-
lieve o saving could be made. Even il it
costs more. it is better to keep them at
homo than abroad. The money raised
from the taxpayers Of this State should
be expended at home, and not be paid out
to enrich the citizens Of another State. II

The Elko Independent says there are
several newspapers that are strenuously
urging upon our Legislature the establish
ment of q School Of Mines in this State.
Aside from any other consideration than
the utility of such an institution, we do
not think that any person would seriously
advocate its establishment by the State at
this time. but as it appears necessary to do
something in the matter to secure the land
grant from the Government, it is certainly
the wisest course to manage it with as little
expense to the State as possible. The way
i'll which that can be done is clearly to con
meet it with the Preparatory Department
OF the State University. The building
erected by Elko county at a cost Of $40, 900
is amply sufficient to accommodate the
School Of Mines also. and as it was the in
tention that the latter should be a part Of
the University, it would certainly be the
most proper and economical way to secure
the grant Of land, to make it o part Of that
inetitutiau
