BOWEN & KINGSBURY. Publishers. An article published elsewhere in this issue, gives the decision of the Nebraska supreme court in the matter of the issue of county bonds in aid of what is known as the narrow gauge railroad, projected from Sioux City to the Black Hills by way of Niobrara. The court declares the bonds void. This is the end of a scheme which was stoutly resisted by a considerable portion of the reasoning people in the counties across the river, and it has terminated favorably for the taxpayers. Twenty-seven miles of this road was built and under operation, and about forty miles was graded. Judge Love, of Sioux City, has been appointed as receiver for the defunct road and will wind up its business affairs. A BASIS FOR HARMONY. The Deadwood Times of the 25th of April, in which we suggested the propriety of harmonious action between the republicans of the Black Hills and the republicans of other portions of the territory upon the delegate subject, and deprecated the tendency towards a second-term contest during the political campaign. The Times heartily agrees with us that a combination of the republican forces of all sections will give to the party a sweeping majority November next, and says it is "a truth that should not be ignored in next fall's election of a delegate to congress without good and sufficient cause." The Times further expresses a desire to avoid everything tending towards sectionalism in the discussion of political matters pertaining to the territory at large. The Times then says: The Press & Dunbar in its issue of the 10th of April last, in discussing the proposition for our separate territorial existence upon the basis of the bill before congress, among other things used the following language: We have repeatedly indicated our earnest desire that the Black Hills should have a separate territorial existence. It is better for them, and for us. Upon a fair basis, they will find no opposition in southeastern Dakota. Its objection was principally and almost solely to the proposed dividing line on the 100th meridian, but it asserted that if we would consent to make the division on the 102nd meridian and run north to the 4th degree of latitude and then make a detour to the right and running on in a northeasterly direction no as to include Bismarck in our new territory, the people of southeastern Dakota would cease all opposition to our territorial scheme and unite with us in securing it. This is the position assumed by the Press and Dakota in its issue of April 3rd ult., as we distinctly remember, and if we are correct, we have no hesitation in saying that upon this basis the republicans of the territory can harmonize and agree in uniting upon a candidate for congress in next fall's election. To accomplish this result, however, to satisfy the republicans of the Hills of the good faith and honest intention of the republicans of the southeast, in the calling of a organization of the territorial convention to nominate a candidate for congress, and in the selection of the candidate, and in the platform of principles upon which he canvass should be made before the people, the separate territorial existence of the Black Earth must be conceded, guaranteed, and pledged. The convention then should exhibit no hesitancy in declaring emphatically and in clear and positive terms, without qualification or reservation, for a separate territorial organization for the people of the Black Hills, with the dividing line between eastern and western Dakota upon the 102nd meridian, and instructing and pledging the delegate then and there nominated that if elected, to carry out such instructions and pledge. If this is done, we apprehend that the republicans of the Hills and of the northern part, can have no difficulty in cooperating and combining with those of the southeast, in the congressional contest. Speaking as the representative of what we believe to be almost the universal sentiment of the people of southeastern Dakota, we have no hesitancy in stating that the guarantee proposed by the Times will be forthcoming. In the minds of the residents of this portion of the territory, the separate territorial existence of the Black Hills is not only "conceded, guaranteed and pledged," but is ardently hoped for, while anxiety prevails lest it may not occur. The proposition we opposed so strenuously was a division upon the 100th meridian, which would destroy one-half the usefulness of our future state and indefinitely postpone the day of our admission to the union. We see no reason why the coming republican territorial convention should not pledge its candidate to the division of Dakota upon the 102nd meridian, and so far as a newspaper can make promises for the people, we have no hesitancy in assuring the voters of the Hills that this will be done. The Times further asks that in making the apportionment for delegates to represent the Hills in the convention, representation be based upon the election of 1877, instead of that of 1876. We can see nothing unreasonable in this request, and as we know the disposition exists to accord the fullest justice to the republicans of the Hills, this matter will doubtless be arranged to the satisfaction of all concerned. The suggestion of the Times that twenty-five percent be added to the vote of 1877 in making the Hills' apportionment, to correspond with the increase of population since the last election, we meet with a counter proposition: that at least twenty-five percent be also added to the representation of eastern Dakota. The Times probably does not realize the fact that every wagon and railroad heading in the direction of our four hundred miles of eastern boundary line is crowded with immigrants coming to agricultural districts that thousands have within the past few months made permanent homes upon the prairies of our territory that where one person goes to the Black Hills a score come into eastern Dakota. Yet these are facts. Therefore, if upon the ground of increased population an increased representation should be given the Hills, the entire territory is entitled to the same treatment, and the result would be only a greater number of votes without additional advantage to any particular locality. But we fully believe that the subject of representation and all other points of difference can be harmoniously settled, and that the republican party of the entire territory can be united for a grand victory at the polls next November. VOID BONDS . Decision of the Nebraska Supreme Court In the C. and B. H. Railroad Bond Case. Lincoln, Neb., Journal. May 3. The following decision was rendered in the supreme court yesterday: Simon Beineman vs. the Covington, Columbus and Black Hill railroad, appeal from Cuming county. 1. Until the adoption of the constitution of 1875, the whole matter of municipal aid to works of internal improvement was within the sole control of the legislature, and subject to no restraint other than such as that body saw fit to impose. 2. Section 2 of article 12 of the constitution is to be taken as restrictive only upon the exercise of the legislative discretion in the authorization of county and municipal indebtedness in aid of railroads and other internal improvements. It fixes a boundary beyond which the legislature cannot go, but within which its authority is still supreme. 3. The act of Feb. 15, 1861, as amended March 3, 1870, and Feb. 17, 1875, enabling counties, cities and precincts to issue bonds to aid works of internal improvement in force at the adoption of the constitution, is not in conflict with the section 2, article 12, of that instrument, and is still in full force. 4. As the law now stands, there is no warrant for creating a county indebtedness in aid of internal improvements exceeding in the aggregate 10 per cent of the assessed value of the taxable property within the city or county, and even this might be authorized by at least two-thirds of all the votes cast on the proposition to extend such aid. 5. When a county votes aid to a railroad company in excess of the amount authorized by law, it is simply a void act, conferring no authority on the county commissioners to issue bonds of the county in any amount whatever. THE GREAT WEST. Press Gleanings from Various Points in Utah. ARIZONA. Good gold diggings have been struck near the Cargan Muchacho, in Yuma county. There is ore enough in sight in the Hackberry mine, Mohave county, to yield a million dollars. Over fifty men are working the Lecos Creek placers, Yavapai county, with sluices and rockers. The gravel is paying well. New buildings are going up throughout the Salt River valley, and a general activity prevails among the citizens to improve and beautify their homes. During the past month southern Arizona has been favored with bountiful rains. The grain yield this season must be very large, while hay will be in abundance. The Santa Cruz valley is one great garden of grain. The work of prospecting and development is going steadily on from the extreme northern point of the territory adjoining the Utah line to the very borders of Sonora. The four million dollars worth of bullion last year will very likely be increased to eight millions the current year. NEVADA. Excellent progress is being made at sinking the main incline below the 2,000 level in the Ophelia. As soon as the 2,100 foot level is reached a station will be opened. The main incline. In the Belcher is down 142 feet below the 2,260 level. It will be pushed down to the 2,360 level. The south drift on the 2,160 level is steadily advancing the face still in quartz and ledge matter. The Eureka mining district is just glorious in its present developments and outlook. The ore bodies in the Eureka consolidated and Richmond are continually traced to greater extent, both latterly and in depth. It is ore everywhere, and the deeper they go, the richer. The sheep shearing season has opened at Eureka. At least 5,000 head have been concentrated in Diamond Valley, and flocks having been driven in from the neighborhood of Duckwater, Kern creek and Antelope, and several more large bands are on their way. It will be at lead two months before the work is concluded. The ore slopes on the Consolidated Virginia, between the 1,600 and 1,750 levels, are yielding the usual quantity and quality of ore. The crosscut west from No. 2 winze on the 1,850 level is still in vein matter. The main south drift on the 1,500 level is being enlarged and re-timbered, in order to benefit the air circulation on the 1,200 and 1,300 levels. Repairing the Consolidated shaft is being pushed steadily ahead. Sinking the C. and C. shaft is making good progress. The daily yield of ore is 600 tons. CALIFORNIA. A floating sea-bath, to cost $200,000, is talked about at the Bay. The sale of the Calveras Big Trees property to S. W. Sperry for $15,000 has been confirmed by Judge Sawyer. The increasing boldness of garroters on the streets of San Francisco has necessitated the appointing of additional police force. Sacramento has been obliged to pass an anti-bunko ordinance. It not only covers bunko, but the string and strap games, etc., and fixes as the penalty of infraction of the ordinance a fine of not to exceed $500 or imprisonment not to exceed six months, or both such fine and imprisonment. Several capitalists of San Francisco are preparing to build a narrow-gangway railway from the San Joaquin valley across the Sierra Nevada mountains to Bodie. The road will start from Stockton or Modesta and go over Mona Pass, via Sonora. The total distance is about 155 miles. BEST THIS IS THE BEST You can engage in.
