ST. LAWRENCE MILL AND MiNE.-This mill and
mine. with two other ledges, were purchased last
Summer by O. II. Begast o.. Fan francisco, and
II. p. Purdy,. then experimenting the Ophir
mine The mill has been siHee repaired and
made good one. The mill Is on auburn ra-
yine just below Ophir, and is operated by water
power, the water being free half the year, and
the balance purchased from b. {, A. Ditch. The
st. Lawrence ledge is about half mile north Of
the mill, and runs nearly east adm west, crossing
n small rayne near the st. Patrick mill. The
owners have | 200 feet of the ledge, and a shalt
sunk on it 80 feet deep, the best rock coming
from the bottom of the shaft. Superintendent
Purdy lately crushed 40 tons of the quartz, talk
ing it as it came from wall to wall of the ledge
which yielded an average of over $22 to the ton
The ledge is plump 20 inches thick, and the ca
pacty of the mill is 500 tons per month. 1t
costs 50 per ton to quarry the rock and raise it
to the surface, so cents per ton to haul it to the
mill, it being down grade the half mile, and $3
TO crush thus leaving a clear profit of $3.50 on
each ton worked. BY starting in the ravne back
strike the ledge, and by following it will give
backs to the ledge on the hill of some $50 feet
and also drain il to that depth. These statements
show this to be most promising mine We
nave been thus particular because we have not

SEVENTH WARD POLITICS,

The Reform Democratic General Committee Of the
Fourth Assembly district met last evening at III
East Broadway, John L. Walsh presiding. The
purpose OF the meeting was to make arrangements
for the continuance OF the occupation of the rooms
now i'm use and for the printing Of the bylaws
which had been adopted at one OF the earliest
meetings OF the committee. This being done, the
committee adjourned, but only to resolve itself into
bly, district, distinct and independent from
the General Committee, with the election
beYs as Vice presidents, secretary and treasurer
An EFFORT was then made, especially by Colonel
Cauldwen, who had been absent from The meeting
OF the General Committee, to get Greeley and
Brown endorsed by the new organization, but mem.
bers declined to act burriedly IN this NATTER and
she meeting adjourned subject to the call Of the
Chair.

BOSTON, August 10, 1872.
General Butler, in reply to q letter from John B.
Alley, asking him his purposes and views with re-
gard to the next Governorship Of Massac husetts
says
In view OF the importance of the national contest,
shall not allow my name to be used In the canvass
for Governor, nor In any manner to the detrlment
OF the republican cause II one might look to polt
ica possibilities In the selection of candidates. It
would seem to be well that the present incunl-
bent of the Office should be again put in
nomination, because, as he was selected in a
great measure through the influence, advice and
votes OF Sumner, Banks Bird, Beach, Robinson,
Bowles, Davis, Sanborn and their peers, who have
deserted the republican party In Its hour of need
to its enemies 1t is to be assumed that, having
apparently done nothing offensive to Them he will
again receive their votes for Governor, and, IL so,
insure his election.

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Myron A. Clark, OF Canandaigua who was the
last whig Governor Of this State, is President of
Greeley club.
Greeley ratification meeting will be held in
Rochester on Thursday. Five hundred republicans
signed the cell.
The California state election will not be held in
September this year. 1t goes over to join in the
Presidential contest.
The republicans propose to nominate General
John A. Dix as their candidate for Governor Of this
State. But General Dix says he Is o democrat.
Forney says that General Grant would not have
accepted the nomination for President in 1868 If he
had not been assured that he would be reelected
in 1872. Doubtful.
American, who ran for Lieutenant Governor Of this
State In 1854 on the Know Nothing ticket, has come
out for General Grant.
John Smith, democrat has announced over his
own signature that he cannot support Greeley, and
that his conscience tells him he must vote for
Grant. We always thought such would be the re-
suit.

visiting New England, says ''The Eastern admins

cent before the first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November next.
Many OF the Southwestern journals insist that
ex-President Johnson will run for Congress In the
knows himself and he thinks he does, he Is not
candidate for that or any other Office.
1t is now pretty well settled fact that Ben But
Ter will run again for Governor of Massachusetts,.
II he gets the republican nomination, which is very
doubtful all will go well; il not. Ben will again
nominate himself and take to the stump.
The Massachusetts, damses, sire and son. 1t seem
cannot agree to run with the same political ma
chine. While Charles Francis pere works with
the republicans John Quincy ills casts his lot with
to support Greeley, and the latter, 1t Is said, is
going to shout for Grant.
One Of the most perplexlng open questions OF the
day Is whether General Grant intended to slur
Fred Douglass by not inviting him to the st. Do
mingo Commission banquet, or whether 1t was an
oversight on the part OF the Presidents Senator
Sumner says it was a direct insult, while Douglass
himself Is Inclined to treat 1t as joke.

that passengers having to travel on way trains
may be said to take their lives In their hands when
they patronize the railroads: u true stand stand
ton OF any Of those juvenile scamps; but in
no instance has this paltry amount secured the ar
rest OF an offender. The latest outrage of the ma
ture Indicated occurred yesterday morning on the
Harlem Railroad. when the White Plains train,
which leaves the Grand Central Depot at 80 A. NJ,
was moving or from TuckahOe on its way north.
