has parallel in the case OF Yankton and
the Milwaukee roai. AT the time Yank-
ton county voted 100000 to the Dakota
Southern road contract was made with
the company requiring the location OF
shops and general offices at Yankton.
The Milwaukee company purchased the
Dakota Southern road aud along with
it, according to this ruling, the agree
ment relative to shops and general
offices. This is the decision, given under
Des MONIES date:
The railroad commissioners to-day
filed decision in the casa of the citizens
Of Bismarck, Clayton county, vs., the
Milwaukee road. The citizens COM
planned that they had given ground to
the Eastern iowa railroad for q depot,
side tracks, etc., and had actually built q
depot for freight and passengers on con-
dition that the road would make q
station there eni use the facilities
offered. The agreement was kept for o
time, but afterwards the road passed in-
to the hands OF the Milwaukee road, and
that company proposed 30 discontinue
the use Of the depot aud side tracks, and
moved them into Dakota. They asked
the commissioners to compel the road to
maintain end operate the depot and its
belongings at Bismarck. The company
CLAIMED that it was mt bonnd by the
action of It's predecessor, but the com.
missioners inslst that it ie, and direc
that the depot shall be used by the roat
and the station shall be maintained.

The Pot Hole Placers.

All old "timers" are familiar with Pot Hole Placers, situated twelve miles above the town of una, on the Colorado river, and the remarable richness of these diggings in the six ties. The total output being some thing over two million dollars. whilst worked by the most crude and unsat- isfactory processes, viz: Dry washing and packing the dirt to the river and there rocking it.
 In following the bedrock down to the river level all work had to cease on account of water backing through the gravel in large quantities.
 In following down the channels the gravel was found to be richer and 1t is supposed to be richer yet, down in the water. Messrs. Jackson and McPher- son, having thoroughly investigated this property and it proving satisfac- tory, secured the same, amounting to one hundred acres. They have or ganized and incorporated a stock com pany to be known as the Colorado River Placer Mining Company of Cal ifornia with a capital stock of five hun dred thousand dollars. The necessary machinery has been ordered for the handling of the water and continuing the work which will be pushed ahead. The success of this enterprise is bound to prove very profitable. The com pany has already completed an excel lent wagon road to their property and have secured the necessary mule teams, and are now engaged in hauling their camp supplies and tools.-Yuma Sen tipol
