NOW COMES THE RAIsIN TRUST.
1t Proposes 10 Control the Product
of the Whole Country.

New York FEB 1T-Another trust was
bornyesterday ,uOtavery big or vigorous one
as yet for it is only an infant, but il prom
ises to grow This new combine is the
raisin trust. The capital stock was sub
scribed yesterday in Wall street-only
$500 900 as starter-and the name has
not even been selected. But the object is
in plain sight. II is simply TO control
the entire raiSin industry Of the country.
Practically all the native raisins come
from the grape region Of California, and
the tow n of Fres no is the center of the busi-
ness The new trust Will make its head
quarters there and build a large factory,
which is expected 20 absorb all others.
The process of cleansing and preparing
raisins for the market is an old one, but
the new company has control of novel
device for taking the seeds out of grapes
and this is designed to give great ad-
vantage over other concerns.

Secretary Carlisle is still undecided
whether he Will settle in New York or
Louisville. He has flattering offer to
go TO New York, but he is strongly inclined
personally to return TO the metropolis of
his own State. Whatever may be the polit-
ical situation in the State OF Kentucky at
large, the Secretary has little doubt that
Louisville city will remain committed to
goldism. Therefore he will be in quite
as congenial atmosphere at Louisville as
in New York.
Silver men say that wherever he goes
the Secretary has no political future. '.He
may and probably will make money" says

TIE Fort Smith Times Demo fa

TIE Fort Smith Times Demo rat which has been crying about the absence of prosperity for sometime, is now bitterly opposing the Smith Bill, which promises to bring pros perity to a portion of the State now entirely undeyeloped, so far as rail- roads are concerted. It is the ab- sence of adequate railway facilities for the transportation of the pro ducts of our mines, farms and fac tories that is in q large measure preventing the tide Of pros perity in this State.

that will become taxable-lands that can be sold to immigrants, cleared off and made the home of a thrifty population. No obstacles should be thrown in the way of pro- gress, and whatever is calculated to redound to the good of the State should be done. Believing the Smith Bill a meritorious measure and calculated to be of great value to the State. we hope to see the House follow the example of the Senate and pass it.

THE S4NlYH BILL.

After pointing out to the opposi- tion papers at Fort Smith the ad- vantages of the Smith Bill 10 that city, the Arkansas Gasette says.
 And the same remarks will ap- ply to Pine Bluff, one or more of the papers of which are opposing this enterprise. The man line of the road will go within eighteen miles of Pine Bluff. There Is no reason on earth why, with a little enter prise, the citizens of the latter should not build a road from Pine Bluff to Malvern, crossing the Sprin gfiel1, Little Rock and Gulf eighteen miles westward anu making connection with the Iron Noun tain and the Hot Springs road at Malvern. This project is being considerd as part Of the system of roads which it is proposed to build. Still further southward branch is proposed from the main line to Arkansas City,
 The people of Pine Bluff are Q progressive people and believe in railroad building, and are there fore in favor of the Smith Bill, which proposes to donate 1000 acres of land to the Springfield and Gulf road for every mile of railroad built, when completed and in operation. Pine Bluffians well know the value of railroads. For instance, what would Pine Bluff amount to without the Cotton Belt road and it's shops? Before this road was built, Pine Bluff had population of about 5000 and her cotton receipts were about 5000 bales 9 year To day the city has a population of nearly l5, GOO and handles about 80, t400 bales of cotton annually Be- fore the Cotton Belt road was built there was not a wholesale house in the town; now we have dozen of them with the promise of more. Railroads and progress go hand-in- hand together. The steam engine is the advance agent of civilization. The iroF horse brings the commerce of the world to our doors, ana places the products of our fields and factories in every mart of tte world. Bring on the railroads, and let them come until every county and hamlet in the State has com peting lines! With increased rail road facilities our country will be more prosperous. For our part, we want to see population come in, our waste places built up, idle and unprcductive lands converted into fertile fields, and our native and raw products converted into the finished material. Railroads will in a large measure do this, and if we can't get more railroads without offering them Inducements in the way of forfeited lands. then give them the idle lands lthat are bring ing in no revenue to the State and

is located in the midst of the richest
known spot in the world. Here are

Its natural resources are such that, in

The profit to be gained by further

THE main tunnel will pass directly
under the cone of Pixies Peak, at a
depth of nearly 1000 feet and 200 feet
beneath the town of Victor. Most of
this lies directly underneath the Grip
pie Creek district at an average depth
of $500 feet.
The expense of excavation is about
$500 per foot, but it is certain that this
expense will be fully met by the min
erals that are brought out in the pro-
cess of excavation. Perhaps in the Sc
cret pockets of the mountain there lies
a diamond mine, a supposition not at
all improbable.
The contracts for the work read that
it shall be completed January l. 1861.
