A I'I'tt' FACTS.
Self preservation wo believe is
lie ciiimnnpil in Iir llm rli'mf in-
hl,,v""V - -
vtinct of mankind, nnd it would scciir
that tlicsame law would govern eom
mtinilfl. Such, however, is not the
wise, as evidenced by the apathy and
htnpid indifference nianifcslcd by the
people of Grande Hondo Valley, and
llio town of Union in particular, in re
yard to opening up n highway to the
Pine 0cck mines. This mining boom
is not an ephemeral excitement, but a
fortunate discovery of u rich mineral
district, which is destined to become,
in a very few months, of much impor
tance, Populous camps will be estab
lished there which will have to be sup
plied from some point on the railroad,
lind that place will be next in prosper
ity and importance to the mines.
Union can occupy thar position if her
itizciiH desire it, and will loosen their
grip on a few of the well-squeezed
lpiartcrs in their pockets, wake up
from their Hip Vanwinklo-liko trnicb
iimltiike in the situation as it is. The
load can be built from here to the
Inines, via Catherine creek, with but
Very little cxpcie. The distance will
be about ilSorll) miles fifteen miles
horkir than any 8lhor point to the
mines, and it would be a pleasautor
road to trlivel, ou account of the ro
Iresbing streainH, luxuriant grass and
hiagniffcent scenery on the route.
hH this road oneo bo established, and
M'C what a change will come over the
Spirit of our dream. Stage coaches
laden with trtvclers, will come and
go, scores of freight teams will lind
profitable employment, our hotels will
bo thronged, our merchants busy,
lu'dporty Would double in vnllie, our
farmers wdilld find ready and protit
Ublosale for their produce, and an era
if prosperity wotild dawn upon us.
U llio picture overdrawn V We think
hot. is the object worth working for?
Wo believe it is. We not only believe
it is worth working for, but believe
it is a llmttcr of lifo and death to the
town of Union. Let a populous camp
once bo established on l'iuo creek,
Mlh their interests at linker City, their
Hugo lines and freight teams rtinnkig
' 'J that place, ami it would bo but a
Very short time till tho peoplo there
Would annex; themselves to Maker
bounty, Union would lose the county
seal , properly would bo worth about
fifteen cents on the dollar of its pres
ent valno, and all that would be left
bf the population , would bo a fow old
fossils, too feeble to get away. Such
I llio state of affairs, and what Is go
to bo dono about it? Tho County
I'UUrt nt Us last session, we believe,
Untoug other appropriations of twelvo
'or llfteeu hundred dollars for the re
pair and construction of bridges
throughout the valley, made some
kind of a provision to have work dono
mi tuu'rdiid leading from Sparta to
Uit- mines, hut as it principally bone
Uf) linker City, we can't see 1111V great
Hisdom in their proceedings, it iiinv
be urged by some that tho mines,
possibly, may turn out to bo of not
lunch consequence after nil. Allowing
Mils to bo (rue, it still in a fact that
Uig creek and Pino and Kilglo vallios
ire important tunning districts ami
diould have been connected with Un
'.'it, by this route voars ago. If there
not a mine in that rogion, the
money would bo well exponded in
building this road In order to get the
'rado of tho farmers who now trade
it linker City, because it is nearer,
Hud hotter inducements are of fitted for
Miem to go tlfe. The people of lin
ker intend, if possible, to keep this
nide which Is now growing into so
Uiich inlporlaiico. To that mil a
'''mpanv has been incorporated to
bttlld a loll road from there to the
mines, but as the road Will rtin part
of the Way On tho lino of our proposed
road, It should meet With strenuous
opposition, Nothing should satify the
people of this section, but a good road
p om herb to the mines, froo for all.
li Ip disgusting to ico with what apa
!'N ottr modorn shylocks and would
money makon, view those things,
;uid with What fulao nnd narrow so
phistry they doludo lliomsolyos. None
ire so blind nfi those who will not

l-cqulros prompt action and is soiiio
V'bigwo cannot afford to disregard.
for ourVclf, wo aro willing to do
"'oro thali talk in this mattor, and will
