choppers and charcoal. burners who
managed 10 earn scaut livelihood
by pursuing their avocstions. To-
day there are besides about fifty
houses and an equal number Of
" dug OUTS" and the foundations Of
. couple Of towns--viz: Palmyra, at
the base Of Mount Lyon, and Como,
about mile further north-have
been laid. The magic wand which
hes recalled those defunct places to
life was the discovery Of rich ore in
the Eureka mine. Since then even
richer ore has been discovered In
other claims. Tho May Day com.
psny, for instance, has had assays as
high - $1,000; the West Rapidsn OF
esos; the Chieftain Of $500, and Sow
sral other companlss have he'd lesser
assays but larger ors.developments.
The wol kings thus far are not ex.
teDsive, however. - the companies
are mainly composed OF poor pros.
pectors who can barely procure tho
whsrewith to continue the work on .
very limited scale; but SUFFICIENT has
been shown up to AFFORD good en-.
courayemsnt. In the West Rspidsn
q depth Of 100 feet has been attained
and the ledge cut through . width Of
SO feet without reaching the hanging
wall; In the Chieftain, At q depth OF
200 feet, the ledge IL cut into q dis.
lance Of 20 feet, and no walls yet: In
the Eureka, Ut . depth Of 80 fest, the
ledge is IA feet wide, and no foot
wall; in the Orizabs No. 2, 1t depth
Of 100 feet, the iedgs shows 20 feet in
width, and no footwali. Some OF
those companies already have good
lots Of ore on the dumps. Among
these the Eureka takes front rank
with $50 tons, the May. Day comes
next with 100; the Orizabs No. Q fol.
lows with about Is tons, and other
companies with less. The Eureka Is
tho only company regularly taking
out ore; they ere compelled, BY con-
tract. to supply 1000 tons for milling
~ soon as Mr.. Welter requires them.
The other companies are awaiting
Tho completion Of the mill, or look
ing out for bargains in machinery.
The Chieftain company are erecting
powerful within; they expect to
start it up In day or two, and to
begin extracting ore soon tnereaUer.
Mr.. weiter's mill will be ready to
start about the 25th instant. Over
500 cords OF nut pine are at the mill
already, and every preparation has
been made for an oil winter run.
Mr.. Welter evidently has confidence
Ia his ability to work. the ore. 1.-THE
mill fulfills bis expectations, the
district will be made, and several
hundred persons will find employ.
ment there. At present there ere
more men than can get employment,
and this state OF affairs will last for
sixty or ninety days longer. Any
persons intending to 60 there 70 live
had therefore better wait while.

THE MAJORITY REPORT
I'HE MAJORITY REPORT.

The following is the majority report:
! To the Hon. Sidney Clarke, Speaker, and
Members of the House of Represents
tives of the State Of Kansas:
We. the undersigned members of your
committee, sppointsd on the 9th day of
February, 1879, under resolution, report as
| follows:
The committee met on the 9Th of Febru-
sry and commenced tsking testimony on
| the S,h dav of February, and has been in
session aim ost daily, and frequently nightly,
from that time to the present. and has e1-
| amined about forty FIVE witnesses, ard in
| the examination Of these witnesses an al
| most unlimited latitude has been given for
the purpose of eliciting the facts, regardless
of legal forms and technicaliii.s, and
We find from the testimony taken
that John Ingalls,, recently
| elected United States Senator, used
no corrupt means tn secure his election to
| the United States Senste, and that neither
of the late Sepatorial candidates were gull
" of bribery or corruption in the late Sem
atorial election. and we find, further. that
John J. ingalls,, the recently elected United
Ststes Senator, has not been guilty Of any
corruption in office, the only testimony
| bearing upon this point beipg the testimony
| of Charles Ii. Miller, late United States
| Marshal, the substance of which ia, that he
received list of grand Jurors in the hand
writing of the Honorable John ] IngslI.,
and that he Senator lngalls) wanted him
(siller) "a United States Marshal to
.'pack" the United States Grand Jury with
for the purpose of preventing the indict
= of.i,.r, of III, xg
which the testimony Of the Hon. s NJ
S,rickier directly contrsdic:s, and We fud
from the evidence taken that Hon. John J
Ingalls did not write said list, and that he
had no knowledge OF the same.
And We further find no evidence against
any member or members If this House,
which would wsrrsn, Us justifying their
expulsion from this House, and while Z il
trle that the Committee has taken q large
amount OF irrele, ant and Incompetent testi-
mony, yet, believing that the subject hiss
assumed 20 much prominence in the minds
Of the people of this State, that they would
be better satisfied to see and read for them
selves all the tes,imong taken. and believing
that it would be but an act of justice to all
the late Senatorial candidates and
members Of this House and tina,
the good name of the State
demands tha. ali the testimony be pub
lished, therefore We respectfully recommend
that a correct copy Of all the testimony
taken be placed in the hands of the State
Printer for publication, together with
copy OF the reports OF the committee, and
that the original testimony subscribed to BY
TIE witnes ses be deposited with the Secre-
tary of State for preservation in his Office,
and to this end resolution is submitted
herewith. Ali OF which is respectfully sub
mitted. and the discharge Of the committee
asked for. A. W. CAILEN,
