ZINC WoRKs-Roswell P Dart returned
from a protracted visit TO the mineral re-
gions of Northern Illinois and Southern
Wisconsin. day before yesterday. He ex
amned into the deposits of crude zinc
mineral, its cost for transportation to this
point, ETC., and found tina, it could be laid
down in Rock Island much cheaper than In
La Sale. The supply is practically mex
haustible. Great veins of it stretch for
thousands of feet, and, as mining it now has
become necessity, and as future depend
enee cannot be placed on the supply from
the refuse of lead mining, these veins will
be thoroughly developed. All the stock in
the zinc works is already taken, and beyond
doubt the furnaces will be built and the
works in operation by the Goth of May Any
description of the dimensions of these works
would be unnecessary, as we have already
fully gone over the subject.

GLASS WORKS.
A Fixed Fact.

Rock Island glass works, which we some
time since wrote up Is future possibility,
and which we have from time TO time, since
advocated as an immediate necessity to our
industrial interests, are now to all intents
and purposes reality.
In Yesterdays issue We mentioned the
coming Of some gentlemen from La sale
to this city, to consult with our resident
capitalists about the project. The oonsuisa-
ton was in every particular favorable. The
practical experts o. the La Sale glass works.
six in number, have been governed by
Chicago capitalists who control the sale OF
glass and reduce the profits by their com
missions, etc. They wish to escape from
this trammel to their advancement, al
propose to come to this city in BODY "
engage in the establishments OF g'a"S
works here and attend to 'her PF"o
teal management. In glass furnace poF,
ta.tening stones and other apnurtenapces as
veil in stock, they can subscribe $4,000
towards the object. 1t will take $4,000 to
put them in successful operation, and the
gentlemen from LaSalle were assured by
our citizens before they left, that the add
tional $4,000 would be raised. Those La
Sale people are all experts in one or more
of the branches of glass manufacture, and
they pronounce the white sand found in this
vicinity, the best in the United States. Mex
Autumn will see the glass works erected
and in running operation.

REMARKS.

This is q manly, outspoken way of set
thing the Union and the insignificant trick.
ster who thought to make use Of Mr.. Ross
name for the sole purpose of defeating the
regular Democratic nominee. Mr.. Ross, by
this emphatic condemnation of the fraudu
lent use of his name, and by declaring
himself unequivocally in favor of Mr.. Bur
COVER, shows himself good Democrat and
no tool for deceptive, lying Republicans, and
those nondescript individuals who profess to
be Democrats and go blowing about the
streets in favor of Republicans The result
shows to what desperate straits they are
driven and will have the effect TO condemn
them IN the minds of honest voters. The
Uaion better tros out some other indepen-
dent candidate now, or get up SOME new
dodge. This has proved an unsatisfactory
and damaging move for them, and will have
the effect TO ensure Mr.. Bargower's election
