The surveyor general takes the position
that the duty imposed upon the govern

He proposes that surveys shall be

officers by townships Of all hands included
IN and contiguous to grants claimed un.
der the Spanish and Mexican govern
ments. The surveyors to have authority
TO demand from all grant claimants copies
Of all papers or other evidence upon which
claimants bases title.
This evidence together, with maps of
each townsite or part claimed, shall be
transmitted to the register and receiver Of
the land district IN which the grants is To-
Gated and be examined in the same man
ner and under the same regulations that
ordinary land contests are examined IF
there are conflicting interests. a con test
may be fled in the local land Office, and
provisions made for appeal to the com
missioner Of the general land Office and
from that official to the secretary of the
interior, the decision Of the later TO be
Rnal, and when such decision is rendered
the government shall ut once issue pat
ent for the lands according to the findings
Of the secretary.
In cases where No contest arises the gov
ernment is to expedite matters by immedl-
ately issuing patent as soon as the ind
inps OF the local officers are reviewed by
the general land officers.
The bill is especially aimed at the set

HOW THE OLD TIMER GOT HERE.

From Col. Mills Report.
The stage-cpach previous to the rail
roads was the means of rapid transit be
tween the states aud Mexico; that is, It
was rapid in comparison with the ax und
mule trains The first stage line WAS started
in 1S49 by Waldo / Co., running from ir-
dependence, No, 10 Santa Fe. 1t was
monthly service and there was oDly one
change of teams on tie whole route and
tnat was at Council Grove. Kans. -Four
mules or horses supplied the power. The
coach was accompanied by a wagon carry
ing provisions and fuA camping outfit,
camp WAS made every night. Santa Fe
was the only pobioihce 10 the territory un-
til 1851. when post-olice was established
at Las Vegas, with MAJ A. Morrison as
postmaster.
In 1860 the service on the stage line was
increased from monthly to weekly, and in
stead Of camping, stations we're establish
ed. whore the mules or horses were
changed. Ia 1865 Barlow, Sanderson &
Co.. became the proprietors Of the stage
hne. After the civil war the service was
increased to tri-weekly aud shortly after to
daily Stations were establisbed on the
whole route, for changes Of stock, from IL
to 20 miles apart, and eating stations for
the accommodation OF passengers provided
at proper intervals. The rate Of speed
was an average miles per hour, and no
stops we're made either day or night ex-
cept to change stock or for meals The
drivers changed every SO or rs miles but
the messengers who were in charge OF
the express matter, passengers and bag
gage run through from end to end Of the
line, sleeping in the front boat when rest
was necessary. Passenger fare was from
20 to 25 cents per mile.

The information contained i'll the
following Washington dispatch of the
9th inst. will be gratifying news to
the many friends of Col. Brush, and
especially is it gratifying to the editor
of the TRIBUNE. We have known
the Colonel for more than a quarter
of a century. He was a gallant
soldier during the rebellion, has al
ways been model citizen, and is a
high toned honorable gentleman. The
dispatch says Col. c. III. Brush of
Campbell, Mimi, is to be.made bank
examiner of that state for the treas
ury department. Col. Brush was an
active member of the last Minnesota
house of representatives, and became
one of the leading Fifth district men
on the floor. His appointment to the
position named will probably be
made in a few days. He has been
strongly endorsed by Senator Wash
burn and Representative Cemstock.
1t will be remembered that Col. Brush
was warm supporter of Washburn
in the last senatorial contest.

Ex-Governor Edward F. Noyes, OF
Ohio, dropped dead in the court house

superior court of Cincinnati. The
deceased was a second cousin of the
editor of the TRIBUNE, and when a
boy resided in East Kingston, n. I'll.
He served an apprenticeship at the
printing business in the Office of the
Morning Star, at Dover, n. FL. He
enlisted in the Uuion Army and was
commissioned major of the 39th Ohio,
and was afterwards promoted to
major-general for gallant services
He lost a leg in charge in one OF
the battles around Atlanta. In 1877
he was appointed minister to France
by President Hayes. Noyes was
years younger than ourself, and we
have many time trotted him on oul
knee. He was a grand good boy, and
made a grand good man.

Benson Times: The senatorial dis
trict composed of Big Stone, Stevens,
Grant and Traverse counties, has been
in labor for two months past over the
question as to who should be nOmina-
ted by the Republicans and the papers
in the several counties have been
filled with the subject to the nausea
of all their readers who were not per-
sonally interested, and enough dirty
linen has been washed already to fill
the back yards of three or four con-
gressional districts. It looks now as
if the more rampant candidates were
to be laid aside in favor of Hon. HI.
w. Stone, of Morris, which would be
a most decidedly sensible way out of
the tangle. Mr.. Stone is one of the
representative men Of the state, has
the confidence of every one, has served
a term in the lower house with credit
and would make leyel-headed fair
minded senator.
Just so, Mr.. Times; and we are 60
ing to nominate Mr.. Stone on the first
ballot, at the convention on the 10Th
inst. and don't you for get 1T.

the claims of the "Power of Money"

any effort to pass laws, or enforce

railroad corporations in their business
