One of "Conkling's intimate
friends" being interviewed, says
ait looks now as if Ohio would
give 10000 democratic majority,
and Pennsylvania 10000. OF course,
the Republicans don't stand any
chance of carrying New York. AT
ter the party loses these three
States, through the weakness of the
Administration, there won't be any
more office-ho,ders removed for the
present-mark that! Hayes will
discover that he can't run the polit-
ical machine without the assistance
of the politicians, and he will be
glad enough then to make up with
the men whom he now threatens to
remove"

''Ili be hanged II it isn't tough, E"
he replied, when they told him that
they haden't had any work for q
month. chow would you like
some oysters?"
They smaeked their lips by way
of reply, and they gathered up u
crowd of eight, marched them to a
restaurant and ordered oyster stews
for each one.
1T just does my soul good to see
them eat!' he said to the owner of
the place as the eight got to work

the reply.

hand on his heart.

Helena Herald: Teh "Scrateh
Gravel placer mines are situated
about four miles north of Helena,
and within plain view of the city.
! Tho mines were discovered q few
years ago. the district staked, the
ground surveyed and patented.
Mr.. Z. r. Tandy secured patent up
on 100 acres, went to considerable
expense in bringing in water and
two years ago made the first run.
Mr.. Tanday's ground is situated on
the bench-land far away from the
mountains, and down nearly as low
as the surrounding ranches on Ten
Mile, and in Prickly Pear valley
The soil is gravelly and exceedingly
shallow. Bed rock is within ~ or
IA inches of the surface. and the pay
streak is from 60 to 100 feet wide
For three seasons the miners have
paid we'll, improveing each year.
The gold has been coarse, but unus-
ualiy fine. In the clean-aps made
many large, beautiful nuggests have
been found-notably, one worth
about $3.50 in 1875, and one valued
at $3.50 during the past summer.
But we have now to record the luck

the mining season this fall Mr.. Tan

winds have blown off a good deal of

bed rock is exposed. On a recent
occasion an errand called the for
tunate owner from his house TO the
opposite side of his ground, and in
returning across the ploughed
ground Mr.. Tandy's eye caught
sight of an object, partially covered
with dirt, which looked like gold.
He gave it a kick, when, 10, there
lay nugget of gold half as large as

about one and quarter inches in
