the main line being 1876 Tho land
grant amounted TO 49, 900, 900 acres or
10000 square miles, in alternate sections
within a breath of twenty miles on each
side of the road, and along its entire
length.
An amendatory act directed that a
meeting should be held in Chicago on the
first Tuesday of September, 1869, the
object being to complete the organization
and the opening of books OF subscription
to the capital stock. The meeting was
accordingly held, Gen Curtis, OF Iowa,
presiding, and Robert Fruney, of Penn.
s~ylvania, and j. II. Robinson, of Cali
~fornia, acting as secretaries. There were
seventy. three commi ssioners present.
The permanent organization of the con.
vention was effected by the election OF
w. b. Ogden, of Illinois. as president,
and II. V. Poor, of New York, as secre.
tary. The great project was thoroughly
discussed, and a committee of thirteen
was appointed to advise and cooperate
with the officers.
ri FORMAL ORGANIZATION
of this national enterprise was projected
on the Goth of October, 1868, in the city
of New York. A board of directors was
elected, and two government directors
were appointed, as follows: George

THE NEXT STE
was the selection of the eastern terminus
of the road. At this time Omaha had no
railroad whatever, but there were three
lines being built across the state of Iowa
towards this point. The Burlington 81
Missouri, now the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, was in operation for one hun
dred miles westward from Burlington.
The Mississippi & Missouri, now the
Chicago & Rock Island, had reached
Grinnell. The Chi ,ago, Iowa 81 Nebras-
ka, now the Chicago 81 North
western, was running to Marshall
town. Owing partly to the favor
able location of Omaha, which
was the objective point of the above
roads, it was decid d to make this city
the initial point of the Union Pacific
railroad. and on Wednesday morning.,
December 2. 1868, Peter A Dey, the
chief engineer, received a telegram from
New York announcing that the President
of the United States had fixed the initial
point of the road on the western bound
airy Of tho state of Iowa, opposite Omaha,
and directing him to formally break
ground. This was an important piece of
for Omaha, and the citizens deter
mined to inaugurate the work of the
Uuion Pacific railroad on that very day,
and appropriately celebrate the event.

The Risk Of Patent Pencil Signatures
AS the country is now flooded with

may be we'll to remind the public that
this useful and innocent looking i'm

a treacherous friend, and on no con.
sideration should be used to write the
signature of any one. The compost
ton of the pencil is a peculiar com.
bnation, highly poisonous in itself,

ture writers) competent to give off two

In reading the TINES of July 81,
1883, noticed under the heading
"a voice from Smoky" an article con-
tanning some very unjust reflections
upon the administration of justice in
this county, and some vile threats
against several gentlemen. Now, if
the cowardly poltroon-evidently
much in need of dose of vermifuge
who signs himself ''Peter Davis"
will be so kind as to furnish us with
his true name, we might be tempted
to talk little.

ANOTHER MINE SOLD.
THE SILVER KING, OF SAWTO0TH,
CHANGES HANDS.
The Price Stated at $125;OO0-One.
Fifth Of the Amount Actually Paid
Over Last Nigst--The Property to be
Worked Actively. -


The Silver King mine, which is
situated up Beaver gulch, about three
miles above the town of Sawtooth,
was sold yesterday to NJ. r. Scott and
l.. NJ. Graham, Of Bloomington, Ills,
and Jabez Chase, of the Black Hills.
These three gentlemen constitute the
Davitt Company, and own the Mi.
chael Davitt and other Deer creek
claims. The purchasers were to leave
HALEY this evening for the mine,
which will be left in charge of Pro.
lessor Graham, as Superintendent.
He PROPOSES to work the property for
sill there is in it, and will at once be.
gin shipping ore to the Sawtooth and
Vienna mills, with the intention of
converting all the ore on the dump or
in sight in the mine into bullion be-.
fore snow flies. The mine is located
on the head of Beaver creek, and re.
ceives the watershed of both sides of
Beaver canyon. The workings are
filled with water up to within 35 feet
of the surface. Above that level
careful estimates show 200 tons of
ore in sight, averaging 5000 per ton.
The dump shows AZ tons of ore that
will yield an average of $1,000 per
ton. Ore has been guaranteed at the
bottom of the workings.
The consideration named in the
deed is $4,000. This, however,
was. not the actual price paid, as the
amount agreed upon, the TINES is in.
FORMED, is $4,000. The remaining
$4,000 Is the estimated value of
small interest retained by Mr.. Rorem.
The Silver King was bonded last
February, by Messrs. Butler, Hen.
drick and Hall, of Haley, and Ole.
korem, of Sawtooth, the bond to run
six months, and the parties of the
second part having the option to pur-
chase at any time for 100000. a
bonus of $500 was paid down, and
the bonders took possession of the
property. BY the terms of the bond.

The compact was carried out by both 4
sides until within day or two when,

"The vigilantees 1t Greenhorn Montana
have removed the Democratic postmaster
by hanging. Government fuel must be
scarce, as he was caught barn-burning.
The office is now vacant. The sureties
have been notified to take charge Of the
Office" The above is said to be the dis
patch sent to Washington after the
lynching of Coomes and Smith who were
suspected of setting fire to McNally's
barn. We can scarcely credit it. We
can scarcely believe that the Governor
of our Territory could lower the dignity
of his office; could descend to such a
dirty fling at the party which has the
supremacy in the Territory over which
without our asking) he has been sent
out to preside. We are sorry for it. We
had formed q better opinion of him and
trust that it is not true. We do not
know that either one Of the men hung
were democrats, but if the postmaster
was democrat, We have little faith in
him for accepting position from re-
publican administration. The vigilantss
of Greenhorn could do the country
greater service by removing some repub-
lican officials we know Of, although we
would not suggest their removal in such
summary manner.
