THE COLORADO RELIC Hun
TEkS.

What Two Men Claim to have
Discovered.
| The two men mentioned few
days ago as having made some in
teres'ing discoveries 1T the mound
near the State Prison, called at the
ArrEAL Office yesterday and said
they wanted to make statement.
They considered hat the. papers
had cast some uncalled for rehec-
tions upon their work and inten :
tions. The one who appeared to
be running the business made the
following statement:
1--WE came here from Colorado
and went to Virginia City to get
work in the mines. We applied at
several of the leading mines but
getting no employment determined
to do some prospecting back of Car
son. We went TO the State Prison
and examined the big tracks as q
matter of curiosity. We noticed the
tracks. and seeing how they headed
toward the mound, determined to
explore the mound and see what we
could find. We have met with
great success and found numbers of
things which cannot fail in inter-
esting scientific men,"
do you expect to make any
thing out of the thing?"
"Of course we do. Do you sup
pose we are putting in two or three
weeks work free gratis? We have
located the claim and we have al
ready found something which will
astonish the scientists when they
come to look at it. We have came
on 10 house or hut made of wood
which is in splendid state of pet
rifaction, tho posts, sides and roof
are Of s"lid stone. We have clear
ed away the debris and also found
store implements such as hatche,s
and cooking utensils and quite a
number of arrows"
"When Can these be SEEM"
"Not until we get ready to admit
the public. We are doing this thing
on our own hook and propose to
run it our own way. When We get
the find fully developed We will sell
it to any body Of scientific men who
want to pay our price for it. Ite.l
you it will bring good price and
no one will doubt the genuineness
of what we have to SELL"
Later in the day an APPEAL re-
porter interviewed Warden Bell on
the m tier. He said that two men
had been digging in the mound and
claimed to have made some wonder
full discoveries. He be ieved them
imposters. They showed some
stone Ratchet. heads which were by
no means new to the scientific
world, having been dug up by the
score in New Jersey years ago. In
his opinion these relics were
brought to the city by the men. but
they had no scientific knowledge
and mixed ap relics of the stone age
with the pleocine period. 1t was
too thin. They had run q tunnel
in the mound but would allow no
one to 60 in and investigate. As
for their being locators of the place
it was all bosh as there was no re-
cord in the Land Office of any such |
location. They might be ali right
but they acted too mysteriously to
be on the square. If. however.
they had found any new thing he
was as viii icg as ally body to give
them the credit an6 ass stance too
if they wanted it.

Court Of the United States, and in every /
instance that tribunal sustained the se-
cond patents and held the Government
title being conveyed by them as II did in
the case Of NewhNll VS.. Sanger.
Prior to the decision in that case the
California railroad companies bad OBJ
tained patents in the department for
many thousand acres of land OF precisely
the same STATUS as the contest between
Newhall and Sanger and the legal prin-
ciples involed we're of course precisely
the same in respect to every such tract.
The only question TO be determined in
each case was whether at the date of the
railroad grant the tract was in a state of
reservation within the limits Of a Mexi-
can grant claim, the same as the tract in
controversy between Newhall and Sanger,
and that was question to be determined
by the officers in charge of the public
lands, and not primarily by the judicial
tribunals.

for which such void patents were issued
to the railroad companies. Had the
practice of issuing second patents, which
had prevailed in the department for more
than generation prior to July ~, 1876,
been continued after that date these s,t-
tiers would lopg since have obtained title
to their land. But within the period of
about two months after the case Of New
hall vs.. Sanger had been decided by the
Supreme Court, showing that the CALI
fornia railroad companies were holding
many thousand acres Of land under IL
legal pstents improperly issued, the de-
partment changed the practice of issuing
second patents for the same lands until
the elder patents in each particular case
had first been declared void in the judic-
ial tribunals.

AUDITOR GENERAL.

The AMERICAN VOLUNTEER. published
a Carlisle, in its issue of the 9th inst,
trts ont Hon. Robert McCaehran for
Auditor General, in the following Ian
gu.ge:
Some interest is beginning to manifest IT,
self in relation to the Democratic nomino-
ti,ns for State Treasurer and Auditor Cen
eral, but nobody has as yet been formally
b ought forward for either Of these Offices,
though several names have been suggested.
Impelled by wish io secure tho party a
good candidate and TO give the public
good officer, we take the liberty of bringing
forward a gentleman who proved himself a
good and faithful servant when he held
trust confiied to him by the people Of Cum
berland county. We propose the Hon.
Robert McCachran for Auditor Gcneral,and
W. accompany this proposal with the ex-
presssn Of an earnest hope that it will re-
ceivs favorable consideration throughout
the State. We feel confident that no hon
est man, whether he be Democrat or Re-
publican, who served in the Legislature in
s<sHgSk 1snbert McCachran sat as a member,
will hesitate to endorse him as a man who
would hew to the straight line oi duty all
the time. "RoOsters" could not be expect
ed to crow for him, for he never sat on their
perch; but when that Legislature adjourned
no member who walked out of the Capitol
carried with him larger share Of the re-
spect and good will Of all its best members
than fell to the lot Of this excellent citizen
OF old mother Cumberland. Intelligent
upright, honest capable, pure in morals and
sound in political principles, Robert Nc
Cachrsn would be an influential and re-
spected member of any community in
which intelligence and virtue arc held in
esteem, and he would make a cand ldatt
whose banner every honest voter might fol-
low with pride.
Cumberland is one of the old cnunties o
the commonwealth and it is long time
since her Democracy have had a representa-
tiye on the State ticket. They have, W.
think, a fair claim on their brctLern o
Pennsylvania, and we trust this claim vii
bs acknowledged and cancelled by th'
nomination of Robert MeCachran tor Audi
tor General.

FALLING PIG IRON.

Three months ago pig iron was selllng
for $24 ton, Since then there has been
break in the price. Some mNnufac-
tnrers are now selling at S22, and some
are cutting down rs low as S21 ton.
It is thought that it will go still lower
The trouble is said to be owing TO many
small manufacturers necessities com
pelling them to sell for what they can
get. In 1873 pig iron sold for $50 ton.
The small manufacturers began to cut
down. and prices finally went as low as
sic so n ton. The consequence WAS that
the majority of the little concerns were
wiped out. It is thought that a similar
result will come from the present break.
In an interview with N. Y. Sun rer-
r,sentaiive, Mr.. B. G. Clarke. President
of the Thomas Iron Company. said re-
Gently that further reduction would be
made. ''The production of pig iron is
too great" he said, ''and there is not n
very encouraging outlook 1t wouid
seem from present appearances that
many of the weak manufacturers will
have to shut down. There must be an
end to the break in prices. 1t may not
be until figure IL reached at which only
few OF the strongest concerns can rub,
aad none make profit, II such is the
case,Ethe sooner that figure is reached
the better, for not until then will conf
dence be restored. and it will not be un.
til confidence is restored that an increase
in the consumption can be expected
Mr.. Clarke said that steel was selling
for S3S ton, price at which there was
no profit. He did not think there would
be any reduction, rs the orders for steel
rails were very heavy. He said thai
three months ago he did not expect tha
the compapy's steel mills at Scranton
could be kept running half the time
They have now so many orders aheat
that they will not be able TO take an,
moro Tor elk months to come.

THAT electricity is bound to supercede
steam as motive power, and in short
time too is beyond doubt. A company
has Just been formed for the purpose of
working electrical railways. Expert
ments have been made by both Edison
aud Stephen d. Field for long time,
and the matter has at last progressed so
far that the system is now said to be in
working order. Z lison lNs soli fis
patents and the company will begin
work within the next six months. The
system Is simple one and does aw Y
with the necessity of locomotives on
elevated roads, Stationary steam en-
gines will be placed at various intervals
along the line Of the rnAd. These engines
work dynamo electric machines similar
TO those used by the electric light ccm-
panics. The current is passed alorg the
rails of the road and thence by means of
brushes or contact knobs to the wheels
OF the cars, thereby moving them. De-
vices are so arranged that the cars can
be stopped or started at pleasure. This
system is also applicable 10 surface cars.
and thus it is fair to presume that with
in the next year we will see some won
derful revolutions in the methods Of
operating railroads in cities.

tFRoM OUR REGULAR CoRREspoNpENT. ]

WASHINGTON, D. c., May IA. 1853.
Several important questions connected
with railroad land grams are now pend
ing before the Secretary of the Interior.
anl action of some kind in reference to
the same will doubtless be taken before
long. One of these questions relates to
the reinstatement OF the former prac-
tice of the department of issuing d
second patent where a prior patent for
the same land, issved either through in
advertence or under an erroneous con-
struction of II statute, has been found to
be null and void. and to make no convey
ance Of title to the land.
In the case of Newhall VS.. Sanger,
decided IN may, 1876 (02 U. S. Rep =,
76l), the Supreme Court of the United
States held that lands in California with
in the limits Of n NIX eau grant claim.
and in q state of reservation at the date.

company to every other tract also in a

the same STATES MS the tract in contro-
versy in that case.
At the date Of the decision in May.
1876, aud fer nearly forty years before
that time, the practice of the Depart
ment of the Interior was and had been to
issue second patents whenever the Off
GERS Of the department became fully sat-
isfed that prior patents for the same
lands had been enormously issued and
were entirely null and void. The pro-
priety of issuing second patents in such
cases without previously remanding the
contest to the courts, was in 1887 referred
to Attorney General Butler, and in ls4s
was again referred TO Attorney General
Toucey, and both of these officers rend-
cred opinions in favor of the practice,
where it was clear from the rulings of the
Supreme Court of the United States that
the earlier patents were mere nnllities and
conveyed no title, (S.e opins, Attys-
Ganl. Vols. 3 and 5. PIP. 24O.7, respeO.

The practice Of the department in that
respect became thus firmly established,

puents were issued without the earlier
rR'ents being first declared void 10 the
