County Seat Removal.

The question of the removal of the
county seat of Lawrence from Deadwood
20 Lead City is still being considered,
and that Desdwood is beginning to real
ize the gravity Of the situation, is indi.
Gated by the action Of the Board Of
Trade in securing the written opinions
Of certain attorneys touching upon the
legality Of the location Of the county
seat at that place in November 1877.
Following is the opinion submitted:
To the Honorable, the Board of Trade
of the City of Observation-Disclosures I:
Your committee have requested our
opinion as to the proceedings and effect
of the alleged proposition to remove the
capital of Lawrence county from Dead
wood 10 Lead or some other point. We
have examined the matter carefully,
and some Of US have, indeed, been for
some years familiar with all the law and
the facts bearing upon the question.
There is in our judgment no doubt
what ever upon these propositions:
First-The county seat was legally
located at Deadwood by a majority vote
of the then electors Of Lawrence county;
this at general election held upon that
subject, among others, in November,
1877.
second-To change the county seat
thus located will require u two-thirds
vote of all the legal votes cast - any
election at which the question is sub
mitted 70 the people.
1t is unnecessary for US to elaborate
upon this subject in this opinion. The
statutes and constitution relating to this
subject are too familiar to al lawyers to
require any discussion: beside, the
supreme court of the territory has pass
ed upon the legality of the election held
in 1877, declared it to be general cleo
! tion, and this judgment has never been
/ in any manner reversed or questioned
In addition TO this there are numerous
statutes of the territory aud state recog.
nizing Deadwooi as the capital Of Law
renee county, and the people have fol
seventeen years acquisesced in and acted
upon that fact.
1t is in our judgment, with all proper
respect, utterly absurd for any person t
seriously assume the position that the
county seat of Lawrence county can be
moved from Deadweod under the pres
ent constitution, which is the paramount
law Of the state, with any less than a
two-thirds vote.
Respectfully submitted,
| WILLIAM X. STEELE.

chutes are all vertical, but how do you
account for the ore chutes in the quartz
ise and shales where the formation is
fiat. Easy enough. The same theory
applies. Look for your best ore wher-
ever you find the mineral water has had
the best chance TO percolate. Where
you find the best ore you will always
find, if you look close. crack or seam
in your hanging wall. Follow this seam
and keep il in the centre Of your tunnel
You will find your richest ore immedia-
tely under this seam, and the further
you get away from il the poorer and
thinner is your ore chute. Again, If
you find in penetrating deeper into the
mountain that this ore seam is begin
ming to be crossed with other seams,
then look out for good body Of ore.
that is, if you are on the right strata
What | mean by the right strata is this.
You must look for the strata which is
the most open and porous to receive
aad ahsorh the solution, and AZ the
same time the formation must be OF a
character which has the greatest affinity
for the mineral you are looking for. II
you are looking for gold you will be
most likely to find it in the siiicious
shales or the coarser grained sandstone
If you are looking for silver your best
chance is where the limestone and
porphyry come in contact If you were
asking my advice / would say, never
run your tunnel very far into fat for
nation unless you are carrying an ore
seam overhead, and even then never
expect much until you find your roof
crossed and checked up by other seams,
for these are the sources Of your min
eral. From these seams your mineral
has been dripping for perhaps ten
thousand years, for nature takes no ac-
count Of time.

trip to Pumpkin Buttes, at headwaters
of the Cheyenne river, after an absence
of six weeks. On leaving here it was
reported that he and his companions
Colonel Batcheider and - Nelson, had
gone in search of rich placer ground
said TO exist somewhere in Wyoming.
Such was not the case. coal was what
they were after. and they found it in
abundance and Of good quality. The
veins crop out on the surface and ex-
tend for hundreds of feet. Mr.. Miller
says the country surrounding is all ideal
desert with but small amount Of water
and timber, the coal lands being but a
few miles from the b. & NJ. railroad
They will no doubt be developed in the
near future. The party made the trip
overland with teams and wagons, and
returned with bronzed complexiods and
perfect health.-Times.

being informed that twins had invaded his
domestic preserves. Beloved of boyhood and
still solid In the day of-prosperity.J
Twins hey? Let frost.nipped politicians growl,
BY joye, you're fixed to stock their trade with
howl;
Besides, dear Joe, the tariffs late decree
Opens the ports admitting Kids in free
Twins did | hear? just barefoot, roisterng
twins,
Bald as the moon, in pinky, flannel skins;
With lung impact of many "A horse power roar,
TO quite eclipse the Polyphemus snore
One was enough for grand ans to admire,
But here's duplex copy of their sire;
Each one a whole, though of the whole but half
And each one bound in vellum-not in calf
OFT have heard you say that poets sing,
lone cannot have too much Of good thing"
But now how vapd these old saws will be,
When from your eyes distracted slumbers flee;
When, wailing like banshee, full and clear
The cry of lamentation fills the ear!
Or, Looping through the spicy nursery air
In Mother Hubbard gown, feet red and bare,
And arms widespread like two knight Grant
shields,
Or Farmer Hay seeds crow ghosts in the fields
You soothe their grief and quiet their alarm
BY roostng each wee chit on either arm.
IT'S noon of night Methinks see you now,
Warlike as Joye's your corrugated brow
Four hard grim walls shut in impending doom,
While creepy shadows glide about the room;
And still you lope, the circus still goes on,
The storm still RACES with no signs of dawn,
Bethink you now the aromatic cup:
The cat has licked the pennyroyal up.

Rough on the Wife.

Peter the Great particularly de-
lighted in drawing teeth, and he
strictly enjoined his servants to send
for him when anything of that sort
was to be done. One day his favorite
valet de chambre seemed very mel
ancholy; the Gear asked him what
was the matter. "Oh, your majesty"
said the man, my wife is suffering
the greatest agony from toothache,
and she obstinately refuses to have
the tooth taken out" @If that is
ALL" said Peter, 1--WE will soon cure it,;
take me to her at once" When they
arrived, the woman declared that
she was not suffering at all; there
was nothing the matter with her.
@That is the way she talks, your
majesty" said the valet; "she Is
suffering tortures. "Hold her head
and hands," said the Car; Il will
have it out In moment" And no
instantly pulled out the indicated
tooth with great dexterity, amid
profuse thanks from the husband.
What was Peters indignation to dis
cover little latter that his valet
had used him as an executiOner to
punish his wife, who had never had
an unsound tooth in her head.
