The Sulphuret silver mine near Lake
City, Colorado, is owned and operated by
St. Paul organization. At recent
meeting of the directors in this city, it
was decided to enlarge the field of oper-
ations of the company by securing the
Cora mine, adjoining the Sulphuret. Of
this consolidation the Mining Register, of
Lake City, of the 2lst inst, says:
We are reliably informed that consolda-
ton of the Sulphuret and Cora properties will
soon take place and work will be pushed Wig

Going for Judge Cox.

At the afternoon session of the house
yesterday, Gen. Sanborn introduced a
bill for the purpose of changing the
boundaries of the Sixth, Seventh and
Twelfth judicial districts and abolishing
the Ninth judicial district The object
of the bill is to legislate Judge E. St
Julien Cox out of Office. The provisions
of the bill are as follows:
The counties of Blue Earth, Faribault, Mar
tin, jackson, Mobiles, Rock Pipestone, Muir
ray, Cottonwood, Watonwan, N collet and
Brown are constituted the Sixth Judicial dis
trict; the counties of Stearnes, Sherburne
Benton, Morr son, Douglass, Todd, Mile
Laos, Grant and Pope are constituted the
Seventh judicial district; The counties of
Meeker, Kandiyohi, Stevens. Traverse, Wilkin,
Swift. Chippewa, Lacqui Parle, Yellow Medi-
cine, Big Stone, Redwood, Lyon and Lincoln
are constituted the Twelfth Judicial district.
At the investigation of the case by the
judiciary committee, yesterday morning,
Judge NJ. j. Severance and Mr.. Kincaid
were examined as to the change of boun :
daries. Nothing new was eicited.

HOUSE.

Shortly after assembling yesterday
morning the house went into committee
of the whole, that that safety valve for
legislators overcharged with eloquence,
and with the exception of a brief inter-
val renamed in that order all day. The
bond business was discussed briefly on a
motion to substitute the senate for the
house bill, the only apparent difference
between the friends and opponents of the
measure being the matter of interest. 1t
is apparent that tie bill will pass the
house at an early day, with amendments
reducing the rate of interest on the new
bonds from to 4 per cent. The pro-
posed amendments to the game law did
not suit the farmers in the house, who
proceeded to sit down on the bill, but the
mover succeeded in resuscitating it and
having it referred to special committee.
Judge Wilson's bill for the taxation of
bonds purchased of railroad companies
evoked considerable discussion, as did
Mr.. Comstock's bill to grant the right of
way over swamp lands to railroad COM
panies.

under this provision the legislature can
sit six months if it pleases, but the pay
will not go beyond the $3.50. The amend
ment Is wise and should be voted
eyes" Ballots should read, "for the
amendment of Section l and Section z,
of Article of the constitution of this
State-yes." Those desiring to vote
against it can substitute ssno' for eyes,"
as above.
The third proposed amendment prohib-
its special legislation, by amending Arti-
Gle of the constitution. 1t is proposed
to prohibit the legislature from passing
acts changing persons names; laying out
roads; granting ferry charters; selling
property of minors; changing county
seats; for assessing or collecting taxes;
granting corporate names, except to cities:
apportioning part of school fund; incor-
porating towns or villages; granting spe-
cial privileges; vacating roads, streets;
etc. One great evil of legislation is the
vast number of special laws enacted. This
amendment proposes to have general law
for attending to all the propositions
named instead of securing separate bills. 1t
ought to be carried by the people without
aquestion. Ballots should read, "Amend-
ment to Article of the Constitution, to
prohibit special egislation-Y Yes" Or to
appeal substitute s'no" for ''yes, 'as above.
The fourth amendment is to provide
for the disposition of the swamp lands
by the state. 1t provides that they shall
be sold the same as school lands, and one
half of the proceeds devoted to the COM
mon school fund and the other half to the
educational and,charitable institutions of
the state. If the present legislature does
not change this proposed amendment to
enable the proceeds of swamp lands to
pay the railroad bonds this amendment
should be sustained. Ballots should read,
amendment to section 2, of article s, of
the CONSTITUENCIES" or in case
of opposition "no," In lieu of eyes, :"
There is perhaps no better evidence
than this proposed patchwork of the i'm
portance of a constitutional convention
to revise and make anew the entire con-
stitution of the State These amendments
will be voted up or down according as
the political committees print the tickets.
They will neither be carried or defeated
on their merits.

IT LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS.
Grand Wrestling and Athletic Bout in
St. Paul.

The GLOBE yesterday contained a challeng,
to Messrs. Muldoon and Whistler, the athletes,
from Duncan c.. Ross, with a card from the
challenged parties, accepting in general terms
the challenge, and the fact that both parties
had deposited $50 forfeit, as an evidence of
their good faith in the matter. The fact of the
acceptance of the challenge was telegraphed bv.
Mr.. Ross from Chicago Tuesday night, and
yesterday Mr. Mcleod received telegram,
saying that he should leave for st. Paul on the
first tram, and he may he expected here this
morning. Muldoon, Whistler and Christol
gave an exhibition at Eau Claire last evening,
wherr they were notified by telegraph of Mr..
Ross expected arrival, and it is probable that
one of their number, or an agent authorized
to act for them, will meet Mr. Ross here this
afternoon, to arrange details for the contest.
1t is understood that all parties desire to have
the contest come off here. 1t is also pretty
well developed that the contest will be for
blood, and if so one of the finest exhibitions of
strength and skill ever given in the Northwest
may be expected. If the match is made, the
Opera house will be secured if possible, which
will give an opportunity to view the grand
exhibition in comfort and ease.

Gen. Jols,,so,s's Canvass.
[Mankato Review, Oct. 25.] ]

lNduhdtO hcNlcW3 OCbs %.
Gen. r. w. johnson paid his first visit
to Mankato last Tuesday, arriving by the
noon train. He spent the day in extend
ing his acquaintance among our citizens,
by whom he was cordially received, and
made most favorable impression. The
general is very agreeable gentlemen,
and having spent thirty-two years in
Minnesota, is deservedly entitled to be
classed among our old settlers. He is
making a very successful canvass for
governor; in every locality earnestly but
courteously defining his position in favor
of settling the old bonds upon the basis
of the present proposition. He believes
that the present settlement can be made
without a dollars levy of direct taxa
ton. The interest will be paid from a
portion of the earnings of the taxes paid
by railroads, leaving this year balance
of more than two hundred thou
sand dollars to be applied to eeneal state
purposes, increasing at the rate of
$50, 900 per annum hereafter, while the
proceeds of the sale of the $500, 900 inter-
nal improvement lands, judiclously ap-
piled, will at least pay the principal,
even before the new bonds become due.
Were not this done, and the interest to
be met by direct taxation, man having
a thousand dollars worth of taxable prop
erty would only be taxed fifty cents per
year, to be diminished as the assessed
valuation of the state is increased. In
view of these facts, the general believes
that Minnesota cannot incur the charge
of repudlating debt even of the ques-
tionable character of the railroad bonds.
After passing the day here Gen. John
son left here for st. James, and other
points on the western division of the St.
Paul and Sioux City road, conf ent that
if the people can only be made to hear
and understand his position, his election
is among the strong probabilities.
