The Huller land and railroad con-

again occupying public attention. One
of the many sons Of Brigham Young,
John Young by name, and famed in

able, is said to be endesvoring to make
terms with b. Frouit, the Lima, Ohio,
capitalist who now controls the con-
cessions il successful, as now seems
probable, despite the objections OF the
stockholders in the land company, the
Mormons will form Q construction
company and employ men * their
own sect TO briid the road and plA~s
the land IN the market for grazing
purposes. Young will supply the
funds and receive two-thjrds Of the
profit, Hnller, trout and Major Geo.
Sissons, of New York, sharing the re-
naming third.
Mr.. Trout has, it is said, invested
$500 900 in the Huller scheme to Sc
cure which the latter has placed every
thing in Frouit's hands. The land
and railroad companies are now dis
tinct organizations, Frouit having the
controlling stock in each and holding

A Rich Concession.

The Cedros Island NJ. and NJ. Com
pany has for some time past been ship
ping rich gold ore to the Colorado
smelter at Pueblo, according to the
Review OF that city. This island is
located off the coast OF Lower Califor-
MIA and was granted to Thomas Nc
Manus a year ago by the Mexican
Government. A syndicate Of Phila-
delphia capitalists purchased the con-
cession and have taken possession OF
the island. The island is described as
being twenty miles long and ten miles
wide. 1t rises TO height of 1000 feet
and is a broken mass Of rocks pushed
up from the ocean by volcanic action,
so rough that access TO parts OF it is
next TO impossible, and trip across it
could not be made by anything but q
bird. There is no water except in
some mineral springs. Rising from
the sea is diorite wall. which is cleft
in one place so as TO form a passage
through and reveal a second wall 400
feet beyond. Between these two the
whole body Of soft broken material
will show a color whenever tried, and
pockets of great Iichness are found.
From one which has not yet been
operated further than TO take out $500
tons oil ore off the top, $40 ton was
cleared, giving the company SlI5IO 600,
which is being spent in laying out
roads, running four tunnels, building
ships, boarding houses, etc, and in
preparatory work generally. A strange
discovery was made In the shape OF a
bed OF white sand which ran along the
top OF the mountain in level streak
1t proves to be quartz ledge which
has been pulverized by the intense
heat until it is as fine sif run through
a battery OF stamps. 1t assays from;
one to fifty ounces OF gold, worth near
~ $40 an ounce. 1t is three feet on
the surface, but dips down soon and
widens to eight feet. Scattering
through it are specimens of quartz
which did not melt and which are not
"lousy" with gold, but are plated with
it, One sample weighed eighty
pounds, and it had at least $500 worth
of gold on it. outside, to say nothing
Of what is scattered through it.
