THE OGDEN AND OCCIDEnTAL
RAILWAY.

Ogden papers say articles Of incor-
poration Of the Ogden and Occidental
Railway have been fled in the Office
Of the Secretary Of Utah Territory.
A conference Of railroad men has been
held at Ogden, and the result is the
incorporation Of the company named.
The promoters OF the new road are
said to be Chauncey M. Depew of the
Vanderbilt roads and the Northwest
ern and the Denver Il Rio Grande
Western Companies. The line OF the
proposed road will be from Ogden west
by Promontory on the northern shore
Of Great Salt Lake, thence west
through Nevada TO San Francisco by q
route which it is claimed will be two
hundred miles shorter than the Gen.
trail Pacific.
II is believed at Ogden that this
road will materialize, in fact, it is said
that work will commence at once, and
that the material for one hundred
miles Of the road has been ordered and
that the Denver & Rio Grande West
ern will furnish the motive power and
cars for construction trains. There is
great rivalry between Ogden and Salt
Lake on the railroad question, and as
there is a probability of q line being
built from the latter city to Deep
Creek. and possibly west through Ne
vada, Ogden business men and real
estate owners offered inducements to
the new company to begin operations
forthwith. The organization Of the
company was celebrated BY a grand
banquet and general rejoicing, and it
looks as il it meant business.

Will Extend It's Line.

While the Rio Grande Western rail-
road denies its intention Of building to
the Coast, yet it is believed that it
will extend its line from Eureka as
Dol as possible into the Deep Creek
country. If this is done, we shall not
be surprii ed if it kept on westward I'M
til it made its terminal on the Pacific
Coast. This latter proposition, while
very desirable, fades into insignif-
when compared to the opening
Of the Deep Creek country by means OF
the steel road and iron horses. The
mines Of that country would tax the
carrying capacity Of the best equipped
road in the west, and this line, when
completed, will have all the business
it a attend to, both in the hauling
Of ore to market, and supplies and
machinery into the various mining
camps along its routes. L. Stock

VACATIONS suss. n settles.

A Washington dispatch of the nth
instant has the following: The suits
brought by the United States against
several mining companies and the
Palisade railroad in the Eastern Sec
ton Of Nevada for cutting timber on
the public domain, which have been
so vexatious TO miners and compelled
the closing down OF one Of the largest
mines, have finally been disposed OF
through a compromise.
Senator Stewart has taken a lively
interest in the matter from the begin
ming, believing that the suits were I'M
just and that the people OF his State
we're being unnecessarily harassed,
their business ruined and the State
depopulated. Through his efforts the
Attorney-G General has recommended
that these suits be compromised by
the acceptance of the amount offered
by the railroad company, $4,000.
This action was taken after due con-
sideration Of and an inquiry into the
facts by the Department OF Justice
and the Solicitor OF the Treasury.

pneumonia, provided that proper care
be taken to avoid exposure when re-

Great prices are ruling for beef in
the San Francisco market. The
market closed last week at eight cents.
II is predicted by good judges that
prime beef will sell for 10 cents before
30 days have passed. There seems to
be a short supply Of cattle all over the
Coast. Mutton sheep are also scarce
and commanding high prices. We
hear OF one lot OF Nevada sheep from
Battle Mountain selling in the City
for Sc % a head. We are only sorry
that Nevada people have not more
cattle and sheep to market at the in
creased rates. Ex-Governor Adams
will make a good clean up. lie is
feeding 1000 choice steers in Mason
Valley. The present prices will give
him a profit on his Winters work and
investment OF many thousands OF dol.
lars. Jewett is a lucky man as a cat
tie grower. The hard Winter missed
him almost altogether, and now he is
to get top prices for his beef. His
many friends will be glad to learn Of
his good fortune.

How Jessie Bfgeiow Killed Gus
Botto I'm Eureka.
Sacramento Evening Nsws.I

l~Sacrtmento Evening news.
Jessie ID. Bigelow, a nan we'll
known both in western and eastern
Nevada, died a few days since at the
Railroad Hospital here. In the BOOM
ing days Of Eureka, 1877, he achieved
a State reputation from a shooting af-
fray in which he was a participant.
lie accumulated considerable prop
erty and owned and conducted the
Eureka Opera House. Gus Botto was
a leading sporting man OF the town.
lie was a New Yorker Of Italian pa
rentage. He was a handsome man,
and very gentlemanly and popular.
lie was brave as a lion and dangerous
when excited. Nine. Rentz's female
minstrels appeared in the town and
there was a tremendous rush to see
them. Botto had purchased some re-
served seats, but owing to the rush
failed to get them at the performance.
He was very indignant and abused
Bigelow for the mishap. The upshot
Of the matter was the men met and
both started to draw their weapons,
but Biglow got there first and Botto
was killed.
Botto was the idol Of the gambling
fraternity and was liked by all classes,
while Bigelow was very unpopular,
but he was acquitted by the jury
which tried him. Bigelow came to
Sacramento and worked as carpenter
in the railroad shops until recently,
when he became sick. After coming
here he became very morose; the kill
ing OF Botto preyed on him, and he
could not converse with a Nevada
man without bringing up the subject
and expressing remorse and regret that
it had ever happened but, after public
sentiment had cooled down in Eu-
reka, it was conceded that he either
had to kill or get killed.
In 1861, in the town OF Dayton, then
called Chinatown, on the receipt OF the
news Of the battle Of Bull Run, a party
OF Secessionists threatened to hoist
the Confederate flag on the town flag
pole. Bigelow went TO them and told
them if they run the flag up on the
pole they would have to run him up
with it. They knew the man, and the
flag did not 20 up.
Bigelow was about 60 years old. All
ne possessed at his death was a lot IN
this city valued at 81 900, upon which
was a mortgage for 5000. lie leaves

Our Arid Lands.

A petition is being circulated over
the State in reference to the arid lands
Of Nevada. Several papers have OPP
posed the proposition on the grounds
that there is a Niger on the fence and
that the railroads are getting ready to
gobble and sell it. The Appeal has
not investigated the proposition for
jobs, but it strikes us that il We have a
lot Of land in the State that is IN
occupied and the railroad companies
will get it in shape to sell to settlers
the State will be the gamer by the
transaction, provided Of course she
receives reasonable compensation for
the land. We believe if Nevada
would offer 100 acres of land to each
family that would cultivate it, the
State would be rapidly settled up.
Make it so that all land in the 100
acres not fenced and cultivated in five
years would revert to the State, and
we would soon be reaping a great ad-
vantage. What this State wants 10
bona fde settlers and plenty OF them,
on small tracts of land. Carson APP

Land MAaleEa.

Van Duzer writes to the Reno Ga
zette hal Nevada's Land Agent has
two lists Of land well on the way.
They are a list each from the Carson
and Eureka Districts and aggregate a
little over 100000 acres. They were
both signed by Commissioner Carter
Monday and have now gone to Secre-
tary Noble for approval. It will be
some little time before they are ap-
proved, as the Secretary subjects
them to a critical examination so as to
ascertain If there be any mineral lands
included among them. He is im-
bued with the idea that the
people OF the State Of Nevada are
surreptitiously attempting to grab
mineral lands, and it takes a good deal
OF argument to persuade him to the
contrary.

hood Times Coming.

The beef buyers are doing more
skirmishing for cattle at the present
time than for years and it seems like
old times. II will only be a short
while now before our stockmen will
have entirely recovered from the ef-
fects OF the disastrous Winter OF 'S9
and 90 and they will be the wiser, for
the lesson taught them, though
severe, will never be forgotten. The
Humboldt Valley is without question
the finest section OF the State for the
stock business, and outside people are
beginning to realize the fact. Every
stockman should try and increase his
herd during the present year and he
will then be in the swim because it is
evident that beef will touch the old
prices before two years roll around
Silver State.

THE comsroCK CLUB,

The following review Of Charley
Goodwin's new book, the "Comstock
Club" was written by a lady in Eu-
reka:
like this book of how few re-
cent volumes may one honestly make
such a speechI But this one is SO
fresh and bright, 80 true a picture Of
the great souls whose titanic efforts
made possible this better Nowl There
is .pathos in it, and kindly wit, and
the large, noble view OF human nature
unfettered by paltry creeds. The
actors in il are Men-big souls who,
in spite Of their apparently irreveyent
familiarity with Deity, look up to him
ever as God-the God OF Man and Ma
ture, not of books.
And who shall say that 10 the All
Father their worship of deeds shall not
prove more acceptable than the lip
service Of creatures measured by q
smaller, il exacter rule?
Who shall a that the gambler
playing his last stakes in the interest
of the widow and fatherless, the old
hummer" stealing for Goods poor"
the needy miner flching his " and
comrades blankets for bestowal upon
one yet more in need, the members Of
the Club itself sitting in pretended
severity upon the case OF their default
ing brother and condoning his offense
with a..delicacy greater than forgiveness
who shall say that these men with
profanity on their lips and reverence
and charity in their hearts these men
who stand uncovered beside the death
bed of their comrade. and
with bowed heads and hushed voices
upon God, upon humanity and the
great undiscovered country" where
his patient soul has entered in-who
shall say that TO these shall not be
melted a judgment outside OF and broad
or than any creed that Man has made?
But these are questions which must
remain unanswered till the great veil is
lifted, and the eyes Of mortality shall
look "face TO face" upon the mysteries
beyond-'tis not for us to declare the
purposes OF Deity.
These random thoughts are but a
few of those awakened by the reading
Of Mr.. Goodwin's brilliant book-a
book which maketh the eye to brighten
and the heart to well. WHITE SAGE.

Last Monday morning the buck.
board stopped in front of Sadler's store,
while the driver unloaded a box of
butter which he took into the store.
The team quietly started off towards
the Postofice and being unattended by
the driver, turned around with the
evident intention OF returning to Pali-
SADIE. A messenger overlook them
about 20 miles down the road and re-
turned with the team and mail TO Eu-

scared and started down the road at
a furious rate, travelling from there
eight miles before they were ver
