a GENUINE BOOM.

We have referred several times to
indications which led us to believe
that jamestown was about to expe-
rience buom in all branches Of bus
mess. The correspondence Of our
citizens and especially of our land
agents ii,SureS Il season of prosperity
unparalleled in the history Of the
great Northwest. But the statement
Of the Argus yesterday that Capt.
Snyder and Mr.. J. w. Perce had
disposed Of their large tracts north
and south, some 100000 acres, at IS
per acre to an English colony, and
on Which some two hundred and
twenty families Of practical farmers
would settle this season is news that
will send the price of real estate up
so per cent, and make our mer-
chants smile, for it means ju>t that
much more business for Jamestown.
II it proves true, these gentlemen
have made so,ne S35O,OOO on All in
vcs,mcnt Of $l5O,oOO in eight
months. Mr.. Pence is man Of cou-
siderable wealth; is connected with
one of the principa! banks in Mime
apolis; has occup ed the position Of
president and direct r for a number
of years. lie is also owner Of the
opera house i'll that city bearing his
mare. as well as considerable othe:
property. He is largely interested
IN mining, and other interests, and
seems to succeed in anything he un-
dertakes. Ca pit. Snyder is gentle
man of some means, and has oper-
aled largely III lands on both the
Northern Pacific and St. Paul, Min-
ncapolis & Manitoba Railroads. In
most every instance he has improved
aud settled families on his land,
which has always resulted IN great
be,,tfi to both the railroads aud the
country.
There is another gentleman having
several sectious south of town.
He writes one of our land agents
that he proposes to break half Of
each section, build house on each
quarter, aud locate some English
families on the same.
If our county and town meets
with no set back we shall soon not
only be entitled t. the name of the
"capitar' city, but shall be the me-
.ropolis of Dake.s,

Ont Of the l4O bills that were
passed by our Legislature during the
past session, it is authoritatively
reported that but Six of them were
vetoed by the governor. If this be
really true, the amount Of veto power
exercised by his excellency has been
greatly cxaggerat 4 by the territorial
press.

Courier-J Journal definite information as
to what became of the remnant of the
confederate treasure that was removed
from Richmond by order of President
Davis, which shows the bullion was ex.
changed with Richmond bankers for
$l07 600 in coin and distributed in equal
shares among the the officers and soldiers
of Beckenridge's command. Captain
Briggs details the distribution of the
money in Davis immediate control and
says the president personally ordered
him to pay all alike, pro rata. This is
very definite aud specific information

that may be left of General Johnston'e

light to congress, TO which body he bears
Peru's and Bolivia's proposal to appeal,
having fuiled to influence the state de-

countries, which, though small, he says
are entirely independentan and neither the
Monroe doctrine nor any other recogni-
zntioh Of authority would justify inter-

save in an eminently pacific and friendly
way. Chill has given and will give to
the world all the explanation of memo.
