Jay Gould held 10000 shares of Union
Pacific stock before the organization of the
new syndicate, 100, 900 shares of which he
let go al seventy cents IN the dollar. As
much of this stock was purchased by him
as low as t%hiity-ccnts on the dollar, it will
be observed that his recent transactions
have brought to him a nice little. fortune.
That Mr.. Gould contemplates retiring from
active business is one rumor and another is
that the report is a ruse of the syndicate for
its effect upon stock.

Dell Rapids Exponent, IS.
Great excitement has existed in the Sionx
valley during the pas, few days over the re.
ported discovery of extensive gold fields
near Madison. the capital of Lake county,
twenty miles northwest of Dell Rapids. We
clip from the Sioux Falls Times q correct
report Of all particulars regarding the ''fBd"
that have come in up to date.
Sioux Falls has been in a Juror of excite
ment since Sunday last. "Gold" has been
and is, the topic of conversation. This ex-
citement and fever was caused ty a piece OF
OF gold quartz, OF unsurpassed richness,
being brought to this point from Lake
county, on Saturday evening OF last week.
The specimen weighs about IN ounce, and
Tor quality, old miners, and men of expert
ence, pronounce it the. richest specimen
they have ever eeen. The old California
miners. men who have tried their hands in
10 the gold fields of Colorado. those who
have swung the pick for years 10 Montana.
persons who have prOspected in Wyoming,
and the more modern Black Hitler. ali
agree that q richer piece Of quartz than the
Lake county specimen they never toasted
their eyes on. Of course, when the piece
was brought in, the very idea of gold being
discovered in this immediate section
prompted everyone to cry "boeus" or a
plant That the yellow substance which
the specimen contained is pure gold has
been proven from the fact thst it withstood
every test, and as for q .'plant," future de-
vel0prneDts will alone determine.
The quartz was brought to this place by
J. H. Hutchins. who drives on the stage line
between Sioux Falls and Lake Madison.
He obtained the specimen from H. N. Luce,
one of the most prominent citizens of Lake
county, and gave an account of the discov-
cry u the came on Mr.. Luce's land, but
later returns from the gold felde" show

Senator Blaine has prepared a substitute
for the Burnside army bill which the house
has attached to the army appropriation
bill. There is in the senate a strong senti-
ment against burdening appropriation bills
with amendments foreign to their nature
and the proposed substitute will probably
be received with favor. Mr.. Blaine's bill
c%ontemplates a gradual reduction of the
number Of officers in the army.

In the face Of the fact that nearly one
half Of the children of Dakota are already
deprived of educational advantages, u leg
~islators have deemed it an act of wisdom to
still further cripple the school facilities Of
the country districts by depriving them Of

Are they legislatin2 for the good of the

thereto by reading Of the immense call

the corresponding month last year. For
the first three months Of 1870 the exports

considerable decline in the cotton and

port has largely increased, though not
enough to make up the loss, and the pc
