Texas Pacific RailrOadr Cant.
S. T. Chronicle.


The old Texas Pacific Railway
Company got its land grant from Con.
gress, March 3, 1871. On June %,
1874, it got an extension of time for
the completion Of the road. The grant
was for 100000 acres and the
length of the road was to be 1883
miles. When the contract lapsed,
May 2, 1882, the company had com
pleted but lSl miles of the road. and
1t assigned all its rights and interest
in the grant to the Southern Pacific
What were those rights and interests?
Clearly the right to so much of the
grant as was earned by the compile
ton of lSl miles of the road and no
more. 1t could hot lawfully make
over to anybody what it had not
earned and did not possess. This
quantity is 2,339,l77 acres. To that
much land the assignment may give
the Southern Pacific a right, and to
no more, whatever may be claimed
under the principles of the Attorney.
Generals decision in favor of the right
of the New Orleans Pacific Company
to the lapsed grant of the Baton Rouge
and Vicksburg Company of $500, 600
acres. Any precedent that allows IA
corporation to assign the unearned
part OF It's grant to another corpora
ton after the grant has lapsed and
gives possession and title to the as
signee is not only in violation of the
principles of law, but an outage, and
the Cabinet officer who makes such
ruling ought to be impeached and
turned out of office in disgrace.

Lines to Boise city.
The Daily Denver News, under the
heading Of "A rival to The Short Line
to be built in Idaho contains the fol-
lowing:
The people Of Boise City, Idaho, are
having a lively time over the fact that
the Union Pacific has located the Or
egon Short Line to Rawlins, fifteen
miles from Boise City, thus leaving
the latter city, which is the capital Of
the Territory, out in the cold. A gen.
tleman who has recently returned from
q trip north says the people Of Boise
have organized company with cap
ital of $5,000,OOO and have been ne
gotiating with the Denver and Rio
Grandc and the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation Company "a company in
which Henry Willard has controlling
interest), looking to the extension of
these lines to Boise. The Rio Grande
are looking to the building of their
line from Ogden to Boise City, thus
selecting the stone rejected by the
Union Pacific. The last named COM
pany are said by the Denver and Rio
Grande men to be good deal worried
over the position of affairs and are
said to have come to realization of
the fact that they have made mistake.
Boise City is the capital of Idaho, and
is said to be the center for the brains
and wealth OF the territory. 1t has a
military post, fine instution of learn
ing, the q. S. assay office, and a peni-
tentary, all imposing edifces, mag

costly private dwelling, and others in

have now promised to build branch

town are reported by the Denver and

go to hell. 1t is said that both the
Rio Grande and the Oregon r. & N.
company look with favor. upon the
idea of opening lines to Boise, and
that the work will be commenced
shortly, each building from its own

BosH.-The Times man says that in
the days of 40 miners walked uncon-
cernedly into saloons and fired up
buckskn sacks filled to the extent of
a thousand dollars or SIGH, and if they
lost, merely threw out chaw of ter
hacker to take fresh one, without re-
mark. That's good story to send
back East; but we did see, only the
other night, in the Liquid Mine Sa-
loon," on Main street, four stacks of
five twenty-dollar gold pieces, each
covering cards on the faro table-ag-
gregating $400-and there was no
great hoorah about it, either. There
was probably bet, on every turn OF the
cards, at the table mentioned above,
dollars; and still our little
hamlet is said to be dull-so pronoun-

The opening of the East river bridge
was celebrated with appropriate cere-
monies in Brooklyn. Throughout the
city there appeared a general surren-
der of business to sightseeing and the
celebration. The main business ave-
nues to the Heights, and many of the
streets clear ont into the suburbs, were
decked most gaily with flags and bunt-
ing and flowers for the bridal with the
city over the river. The public build
ings, private houses, street cars, wag-
ons and trucks, fly the colors of all
nations in honor of the opening of the
big bridge. Great satisfaction is ex-
pressed among the people Of Brooklyn
at the completion Of the bridge, from
which so much is expected for their
city. Vendors of bridge souvenirs
were about in hundreds and found
ready sales. Enter prising merchants
took the opportunity of advertising
their wares on the backs of pictures
of the Brooklyn bridge

LOCAL NEWS.

y. s. RICHARDS, one Of the pick
sl;poers and drill-drivers of Bayhorse
district arrived here the other day
from Washington district, near Snake
river where he has been for several
months. He dropped into this Office
last Sunday, and told what he knew
about this district. He says three
hundred locations have been made,
and quite number Of them he thinks
will prove to he good paying mines.
The Black Maria, at present, shows
no better than any Of the locations
there. A tunnel seven feet wide and
seven feet high has been driven on the
ledge and through good ore, a large
portion of it being high grade. The
vein at the surface, is foot thick.
Where they are now at work it is
several feet in width, being wider than
the tunnel. The ore is easily taken
out being filed with chlorides and very
soft No blasting has been done so far.
The face of the tunnel is fifty feet be-
low the surface. Assays have been
made, running from LOG ozs. to 500
ozs. per ton. The vein was recently
tapped hundred and fifty feet north
of the tunnel, and looks well. John
Falls, quartz expert for San Fran
cisco company, was in there short
time ago. examining this mine. The
owners hold it at 100000. George
Huffman owns a very promising pr os-
pect called the Eagan. Not much
work has been done on it, but it shows
up well near the surface. Cross cuts
have been run, cutting the vein at the
depth Of twelve or fifteen feet. The
vein is twelve feet thick. This lead
was discovered about two months ago.
Mr. Richards was also in Heath dis
trict. He says there are good mines
in this district, but he is pot so favor
ably impressed with it as with Wash
Blngton district. In Heath the ore
bodies are not so large as in Wash
8lngton, and the ore lies in punches.
In the latter the veins are regular in
