Secretary Sherman on the Political
Situation.

Secretary Sherman has written letter to
the chairman of the Ohio state republican ex-
ecutiye committee, in which he says:-"I feel
deeply interested in the election of the next
House of Representatives, in the hope that it
may contain a majority of those who agree
with us in the opinion that the republican
Congress, and no effort should be spared to
Drlng about that result, especially in Ohio
which hitherto has in the main been the
vanguard OF our political contests, and ought
now to be true to the principles and cOnVic-
llOnS which gave to our state so much honor
curing the war. Upon two or three things we
certainly ought to agree. This is republican
administration: The President was elected by
republicans. He has been faithful and true to
the pledges made by the party in the cOnven-
ZION that nominated him, and represents the
aspirations and hopes of the best elements of
our party" AS to The policy" Secretary Sher.
man says -" 1t is true, also, that the policy of
motives OF public good, has resulted in quiet,
peace and order; and, as believe. will in due
time result in the aScendency of the republi
can party in several of the southern states
upon the financial question we certainly have
Done what we promised to do. Wehave faith
FULLY executed the law providing for the re-
SUMPTION OF specie payments, and equality of
near that it would be the height Of madness to
recede to the uncertainty and perils of incon-
troyertible paper money" The letter closes
Dy stating that the only danger which now
threatens the country is the ascendency of the
democracy to national power, and concludes
with the statement that lit is far better that
we should meet and resist this danger than to
questions OF official patronage and official in
terference in elections

The Courier Of last Saturday has the
following news
The machinery for a dry crusher is on
the road from Grantsville.
Good progress is being made building
the new Alexander mill at Grantsville.
The coyotes around Belmont make night
hideous with their howls.
At Caldwell & Doren's foundry they were
quite busy during the week making cast
ings, etc., for the Monitor-Belmout mill.
The Downey Brothers are shipping large
quantities Of bullion regularly. The Alex
ander and Lizzie, Nos. l and 2, are looking
we'll, and the ore body shows nc sign Of
petoring.
Jim Ferguson has been awarded the con-
tract for hauling the Belmont ore to the
Monitor-Belmont mill. Hauling from this
mine was begun ON Wednesday morning.
We were shown some rich specimens Of
silver ore from the 300-foot level OF the
Belmont, in which wire and native silver
showed freely.
The work Of repairing the Highbridge
mill has commenced, and will be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible. Twenty
five stamps will be put in fix and a White
furnace erected, and everything about the
mill will be remodeled after the most APP
proved style.

C6ufage-Everything New.

New vigoff New Machinery. New
C6ufage-Everything New.
From Mr.. JAS Montgomery, the gentle
man who DESIGNED and superintended the
construction and erection Of the new
Phcnix hosting works, we get some figures
to present to the SENTINEL readers, as to
the size and capacity Of the new machinery
Of that mine.
Over the old shaft a now building, 56xso
feet has boon erected, which is covered
with sheet iron. Within this building is
placed some Of the most powerful machinery
for hosting to be found this side of the
Comstock. The gallows-frame stands IS
feet high; is pyramid-shaped, and Is manu-
featured without splicing, Of timbers which
squared 1Gx18 inches, with stills f4xt6
inches. A 6-inch rope is used; the reels
are ~ feet in diameter, and the reel shaft
IL ~ feet y inches long and is manufactured
OF wrought iron. The engine is of no.
horse power, and capable Of hosting up
ward Of 1900 feet. The size of the boiler
is 16 feet long with a diameter of 5. inches.
This machinery is founded on a rock -
cut granite is its resting place, and as its
weight is something over As tons, it is
liable to stay in place for all time to come.
The engine and boiler are from Booth &
Co.'S works in San Francisco, but all the
rest was manufactured at the Virginia City
~foundries. That's patronizing home in
dustry.
The shaft, which is Of two compartments,
is about AXIS feet in the clear, and is newly
and splendidly re-timbered from top to

another level will be started from the $40
foot point, where they are already stopping
out for a station.
