The Ketchum keystone. (Ketchum, Idaho) 1881-1884, 1884-05-17

We regret to see That the Senate Com
mittee on Territories have seen fit to re-
commend to the Senate through Senator
! Garland, TINT the House bill which en-
acted TINT no person should hereafter be
eligible to appointment as Governor Of
any one OF certain Territories who had
not been resident of that Territory
during two years preceding such APP
pointment, should be indefinitely post
poned. We can but regard this rs an
unfortunate course on the part of the
Senate toward d measure OF legislation
initiated by the popular branch of the
National legislature treatment Of n
measure passed upon afiirmatively by
the House OF Representatives, the like
OF which happening in England on the
part Of the House Of Lords in connee-
ton with bill originating in and passed
by the House Of Commons, would be re.
garded as highly retrogressive and re-
dictionary. And this absolutely is the
real character Of this untoward recon-
mendation of the Senate Committee
1t Ii naught else than reactionary; an
ill-adyised step, designed to keep such
Territories as New Mexico, Arizona, Da-
kota, Montana. Idaho and Washington
as places OF official refuge for broken
down professional political hacks.
For our part, as once before we had
an occasion TO say, we think the time
has come when the Governor Of every
Territory that may have been organized
for II period Of four years should be
elected by the people Of such Terrific
ries. There can beno rational objection
to such a course that will not apply with
equal force to the election of the men,
bers d the Territorial legislatures.
There IL no reason why the people Of
Washington Territory and OF Dalzota
and New Mexico, OF Montana and Arizo-
ma, my, even OF Utah, should be ex-
cluded from the cardinal American right
OF choosing their executive; not one rea-
son that would not apply substantially
as well to the people OF the several
States. Mining Record.

Old Jacob City Rediyivus.

Jacob City, or Brodford, rs it Is now
called, s;e;ressss Waea River about q mile
and haif from Bellevue, Is rapidly conf
ing to the front as prominent mining
camp and supply point, being near the
Minnie Moore, Queen OF the Hills and
several other mines. Jacob City has the
honor Of not only being named after ono
OF the great patriarchs, but also as the
first mining camp on lower Wood River
It's modern name was suggested by the
river splitting several times and spread
ing widely between II and Bellevue,
hence the suggestive name Brodford.
And Brodford bids fur TO rival some OF
It's near neighbors as mining camp.
Already there are three hotels and board
ing houses, accommodating about two
hundred miners working in the mines
above mentioned. There are also two
or three business houses in operation,
and both the Minnie Moore and the
Queen Of the Hill mines are running
several jiggers. Just back of Brodford
is Lees guleh, containing several pro-
duesng mines.--News-M Miner.

Railroad Extension.

The 'only Wood River paper Is COM
PEELED to forsake every means of misrep-
resentation in tho face OF undeniable
facts, and 1t wipes away salty tear, hui
initiates itself, comedies and turns its
fly trap loose in the following fashion:
The railway extension would, howev.
or, loso us the trade OF the Yankee Fork
country. But this is something that we
have never had--tbat we only hoped to
get. If, therefore, we do not get 1t, we
will not be out one cent, and our mer-
chants, relieved OF all anxiety on that
score, can turn their attention to places
nearer home, and, by close figuring, Sc
cure much trade which they have hith-
erto allowed other towns To get.
That will be all the damage that tho
extension of the road will do us. But
this damage will be more than eompen-
aated by the impetus which the road
will give to the development of the up
per country. With cheaper freights up
there. more mines can be opened, more
wealth created. more money will come
to the county sent, more persons visit
the Land Ofilee, more litigants. Witness
ea, Jurors. etc, will attend court; and
Hailey will reap from all this an income
fur greuter than it would derive from
these sources ii the road were not ex-
tended.
The extension Of the road would there
fore ba nm actual benefit to Hniley. even
though il might temporarily depreeiate
tho value Of renl estate.

A marked change Is observed, says an
exchange, as to the destination and ex-
pectetions of the immigrants who land
at Castle Garden. Formerly q large
portion Of them remained in New York
and other eastern cities and kindly I'M
dertook to run the municipal affairs OF
the cities which they honored by choos-
ing as places Of abode. The new arIi-
walls nre mostly taking Greeley's advice,
however, and going west to grow mp
with the country before running for
Congress- Ten thousand arrived in two
days last month, and over forty thous-
md landed at various points during the
month OF March. AS the great mass Of
these people design buying land and
making farms for themselves, 1t is not
likely that their coming will cause any
opposition. 1t is the foreigners who
run opposition to the sand lots that stir

Mining Accident
Last Saturday morning, quite severe

Last Saturday morning, quite severe
accident occurred at the Queen OF the
Hills, periliug the life of Pat. Kinney
AS near as We can learn, Mr.. Kinney had
watched and sounded that part of the
roof rs IL did not look quite secure to
him. While passing under 1t in the
course Of his work, he saw 1t WINS COM
ing and tried to get out Of the way. bnt it
was too quick for him and large piece
caught him just over the hips and below
the small Of the back, and almost bore
him to the ground, bnt snmmoning
all his strength he bore up under it, al
though the strain must have been ire
mendous- On examination, afterwards,
he was found to have received three
deep and ragged cuts besides q very se-
we're and painful strain Of the hips and
back. Mr.. Kinney informs us that, al
though he is able to be on the street and
W walk about a5 soon as lie lies down
the pain is almost unhenrable. We echo
the wishes Of his numerous friend, that
Pat. may DO soon quite well again.

their part to work it, and they wish
the editor Of The Teller to take
charge Of the sale. That is q bust
ness we confess We are not educated
to, but we shall visit the mine again
soon and see about it We believe,
as stated last week, that there IS as
good a show for wealth there as in
any Of the far-of and extensively
advertised mines we read Of, that are
not fully proved. There are mining
companies formed on $4,000 to
100000 capital thar We believe
have greatly less basis for wealth
than this. This mine with its quar-
ter section of land on which are
some improvements, It's crushing
mill aud other machinery, is sup
posed to be worth $4,000 to 10000.
We have additional statistics, re-
ceiyed from the company, relative
to its productiyeness, which we have
not space for this week Miners
who think Of investing may for the
present correspond with the editor
Of The Teller, or, as visitors TO the

CART, 0. 7. SAUNDERS, of Albion,

record Of the past year. lie grew
seven acres of tobacco on his farm.
OF this q acres were of the Spanish
variety which yielded 3,4SS lbs. sold
at 90 cents and brought sG67.60.
An acre and was set of Hybrid
variety which he produced This
lot yielded 2,39l lbs. sold at 6 cents
brought 1876 Also three acres of
broadleaf yielded 5,4Oo lbs sold at
l6 cents brought 1864. Thus the :
acres brought an aggregate of over
81, $50. The comparative profits of
the different varieties are as follows:
The Spanish yielded ,al3 lbs. per
acre at zoe, amounted to S242.G0;
Hybrid, 2,l25 lbs at lGc., $1,000;
Seedleaf, $500 lbs at &C., 1884 per
acre 1t will thus be seen that both
the seed and Hybrid was much more
profitable than the Spanish crop, aud
the Hybrid the best exhibit of all.
