WAsHINersN, Sept. l0-An atmos-
phere OF deep and a~ll-pervading gloom
has prevailed in the departments to
day. Tue occasion for this melancholy
was the result of the election in Maine
The victory Of the Greenbackers affec-
ted the spirits of the secretary of TIL
treasury. lie found partial consolation
however, in the fall of the premium, on
gold to ona-eight of IN per cent. Al
the Republican Congressional Commit
tee looms grief was everywhere appa
reut. The Star Spangled Banner
which fl BATS daily from the signal for
the clerks to pay political ass essments
was hauled down. All of the commit
tee rooms. excepting he reading room
were closed aud the laborers given q
days holyday ont of respect to the
memory of Mr.. Hale, chairman of the
committee. who was defeated for Con
gress by Murch, the Greenback candi
date. Elk Secretary Robson waited in
the hall for two hours in the hope Of
obtaining some cheering news, but on
the other hand, his fears, of til g wors
we're confirmed. "We should mt hav
minded it SO mnch," said one of the
committees clerks, ''had it not been
for the loss of all of those Republican
soft money speeches sent to Maine,
which we might have used to, some ad
vantage in the West. We thought we
could get the Maine Greenhackers, to
vote our ticket by giving them a little
soft money sawder." No dispatches
were received at the Democratic Com
gressional Committee rooms from
Maine and the members of the
committee are all out Of town.
All interest here, in the election
seemed to, be ceutered on Hale, The.
defeat Of the principal whipper-in of
the Republican party vas entirely ua,i
expected, andeit proiueed a great cons
motion In the ranks. 1t is Thought
that his relation to private. life would
cost the Republican committee several
dollars which otherwise
would have been collected, from, der
partment clerks who have Withheld subs
scriptions in order to learn which way
the political current is drifting. Hale's

NULVIHILL'S MISTAKE.

John Mulvihill, the man who shot at
Charles Gilchrist a. few days since out at
Browns station, this morning requested an
interview with Gazette reporter. Mulvihill
was visited in Jail and requested the publos.
ton of a card which he had prepared. This
was slightly personal in some respects and
hence publication was refused according to
custom. Mulvihill claims, however, that he
has been n,isrepresented by the press and
hence we give the gist of his statement below

for wages for Comfy. e. Barney was the
dopa tide contractor. Barney would not pay
Conly's bills because Conly's men ate too
much. Gilchrist at first offered to pay all or
part, if it was coming He got off on that
proposition, thinking he had law on his side.
If the public would look at this clause of the
woobchopper's lein they will see that these
men only shield themselves behind techni
calities. The workingman can tramp or eat

MORE Mills NEEDEp.-Says

MORE Mills NEEDEp.-Says the Tuscarora
Times Reriew of Saturday:
We alluded few days ago to the scarcity of
milling facilities in this district in proportion
to the ore production; or rather the amount
of ore that would be extracted If there We're
any means of working it. The Grand Prize
mill will in a few days be running on ore
from tie Companys mine, which, from pres
ent appearances, will produce for the next
year at all events, more than sufficient mater
ial to keep all of the twenty stamps constantly
running. The Navajo has a sufficient amount
in sight to keep its mill employed for the
next FIVE or six months, without counting
upon the probabilities of future developments
in the mine. The Independence could keep
at least twenty stamps employed for an in
definite period, but will probably have to sus
pend operations until spring for want of
facilities for working their ore. The Argenta
evon now needs ten stamp mill, and would
probably be able to keep one of double that
capacity employed in the course Of few
months. Other mines that are now being
worked in the district would certainly furnish
sufficient ore for ten or fifteen stamps more,
to say nothing of the claims at present laying
idle, but which will probably be started up i'll
the spring, if not before that time. Forty
more stamps is moderate estimate of the
present requirements of Tuscarora.

BELMONT Says the Rcreille of November

BELMONT. Says the RereMe OF November
IA:
A gentleman, recently in from Belmont,
gives very cheering account of the mining
and business outlook in that section. He
reports the Belmont Company having
large quantity of ore at the mill, which he
thinks will yield we'll, and that he understood
there is enough paying ore in sight in the
mine to keep the mill running for several
months The Highbridge Company's mill Is
nearing completion, and will shortly start
with twenty-five stamps. From the same
source we also learn that the Jefferson mine
is promising we'll, and that suficien. ore is
being extracted to keep the mill running
steadily. Altogether that section OF Nye
County has a healthy outlook for ali those
who have so tenaciously stuck by their old
localities in which they have had SO much
confidence. Having struggled for three years
down there in assisting to develop the re-
sources of that country, the writer feels an
interest i'll common with that people in re-
turn Of good times.

Not long since We visited the Bowers coal
mine, in Lewis District, and were much
pleased with the prospect for valuable vein
of stone coal We saw great improvement
all the way down the 1OO-foot incline, and We
are credibly informed that at greater depth it
has improved ia the same ratio, SO that there
is every prospect of Lewis being soon noted
for its coal as well as silver While at the
mine we tested the coal by building ere and
sharpening our picks. ALL that is needed, it
is firmly believed, is a little more capital to
go down to water in order to make the mine
one of the most valuable pieces of property
in the State. Capitalists, seeking invest
ments, would do well to spend time to look
at these prospects.
