No doubt when Judge Benefits bill comes
back from the committee on territories an
effort will be made to organize what would
probably be designated as Custer territory,
extending into Montana and Wyoming go
as to include the main Yellowstone valley
on the north, and take in the Black Hills
on the eoutheast-a measure we have adv0-
Gated since the discovery of gold here; but
it is not at all probable that such an effort
would be successful. And then, as desirable
a. an alliance with our old fciends of the
rich Yellowstone valley would be, We can.
not lose sight of the important fact that We
would have at least ten years Of civilizing
work to do if attached to the regions of the
north and west before We would be az far ad.
vanced in internal commerce., population and
taxable wealth as we now are as a portion
Of southern Dakots-that we would ex
change millions of acres Of land Of uniform
fertility for millions of acres of non.culti.
vable volcanic regions. Within the boun-
daries of Dakots, as she would be outlined
after the passage of judge Benefits bill set.

have more miles of railroad then some of
the old states now have, our school system
would be creditabie to the most advanced
civilization. our judicial system would be
respected as among the most perfect and
firmly established, aud all the other ma.
chinery Of local government would be 10
harmonious operation; and the basis of all
these moral and material advantages would
be q greater variety and extent Of natu-
raj wealth than is possessed by any of
the existing states. In short, like Jupiter
springing fall.armed from the brain Of
Minerva, the presidential signature to the
bill introduced by Judge Bennett would be
the magic touch that would give the ma
ton another empire-perfected, completed
and fully qualified to at once take front
rank in political influence. We want the
bill to become a law, and mo intelligent

genuine. A number of other let
tiers, the authorship of which
Hammond admitted, were placed before the
committee and q comparison between them

that they were all written by the same per-

Hammond and Hsyt receive the punish

they are finally reached and the service is
purged of their presence. But it would be
no more than an act of justice to q number
of worthy gentlemen who have suffered in

OUR FIX EXACTLY r.

The question, Do you intend to
remain in Pitkin and publish a paper
during the winter?' has been put to
us frequently within the last few days.
We have given an affirmative answer
in every case, with positive prQviso.
Our citizens are aware Of the fact that
Our camp will need paper during the
winter as badly as any other time
throughout the year, if not worse.
Pitkin Is our home, cur interests are
all here, and we shall publish the In
Alts1at1t regardless Of the severe
weather if we receive continuance of
the support OF the miners and mer-
chants during these months that will
enable us to accomplish that end !;
otherwise there will be no paper
during the severe months near at
hand. We wish to add, however,
to insure the publication OF our paper
during the balance of the fall, not
speaking of the winter, we will be
compelled as we already have done, to
request more liberal patronage than
we are at present receiving. To prove
the fact Of our complaint, we request
all disbelieving it to call and examine
our books.

THE GOLD CRIZE,

Last Saturday II. c. Thompson,
Esq, and a few other old time miners,
who had been over on the Cochetope
range, eight miles from Gunnison, on
prospecting trip, returned to Irwin
with the information that a " big gold
strike" had been made, and they
shove some rich specimens sron, the
same. The gold WAS in white quartz
and was quite discerniblc to the
naked eve. The information coming
from sucn reliable source and the
samples looking 50 we'll, caused a
perfect craze in our midst, and by
Tuesday night our town was almost
deserted-most everybody gone to the
new diggings.
Assays made from this strike give
Io2 ounces Of gold per ton, valued at
S2,1oS. "a. The ore crops out very
rich and comes in true fissure veins
with solid wall rock. The leads are
said to be numerous, but we fear they
are not sufficiently numerous to give
one man claim to every numbered
who have gone there.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1880-09-02

stage into the country, and return,
now aggregates about $3.50 per day.
III. The construction OF a railroad
would at once double the regular
travel.
". The freight now shipped from
south Arkansas alone employs several
hundred wagons.
V. The mines at Ruby, Gothic and
other near camps are capable of filling
a train Of cars daily, which amount
would be largely augmented as soon
as a railroad would permit the cheap
shipment Of ore.
VI. Should the development Of the
mines at Ruby Camp continue as fa-
vorable as thus far, two years longer
will find there permanent city Of not
less than 10000 people-and this is
but one among several large prospec-
tive places.
| VII. The coal is not equaled else
where in Colorado, either for coking
or domestic purposes. There is one
large body Of anthracite within three
miles of Irwin which will find mar
ket for domestic uses as far. cast as
Kansas City.
These, with other reasons. strongly
indicate that but a short time will
elapse before the Gunnison is reached
by one or more railroads.
