TmE MAINE sI,UArIos.

The Maine F~usionists are getting more
and more confused in their conspiracy
to steal the State. Lsmson, their first
bogus acting Governor. utterly failed in
his attempts at authoritative recognition.
He informed the Sheriff OF Ktnnebec
county day before yesterday that the
services OF himself and deputies were
no longer required to protect the public
buildings. and that he would please dis
miss them at once. But II didn't please
the Sheriff to do any sueh thing or to
recognize Lamsou's authority to talk to
him that way. General Chamberlain
quietly told Lamson to dry up and not
get in the way. as he will run the concsrn
himself as acting military Governor until
the situation Is decided upon by the Su-
prsms Court. Those charges Of at.
tempted bribery against the Republicans
are moro and moro transparent the moro
they are investigated. Contradictory
stories are told in the matter. Mean
while the Fusionists see and feel that
the verdict Of the country Il against
them. and arc losing their courage fast,
while the hopes and prospects Of the Re-
publicans are corrsspondinsly brighten
ing. Yesterday the Fusionists chose
Joseph L. Smith Governor. Smith Is o
sensible sort Of . person for Democrat.
and expresses his intention Of not doing
anything rash just at present. He as
well as all the rest. including Lsmson,
will have to gracefully acquissce in the
decision Of the Supreme Court.

MINING INrELrrsEscE.
Notes Regarding q Number Of Prop
critics.

Maurice Hartnett has been doing dead
work on the Pluto mine for the past nine
months, during which time he has run the
tunnel in over 800 feet, through the hard,
barren limestone. Two days ago the face
OF the tunnel was run into o mass Of de-
composed iron, showing ~stringers Of rich
yellow ~carbonates. A crosscut was run in
e northwesterly direction through this for
nation, and a seam Of ore varying from
three to five feet opened up. The ore is
similar TO that taken from the Piute q year
ago, which worked as high as S691.
During a trip over Prospect Mountain,
yesterday, we found men at work taking
ore out Of the Dug-out, Corliss, Kit Car
son, Lizzie L., Banner, Dead Broke, Brad
ford, Republic, Williams, McNaughton,
Silver Common, Sterling. Pioneer, Bald
Eagle. Ell dorado No. 2, Eagle series, Pluto,
Elise, Adelphi, Liberty, California, Con-
molly, Ruby-D underberg, Ell Dorado, Mary
Ann, Ganges, Emma, Grant, Zulu, Charter
Tunnel, Original Baltic, Silver State and
. large number Of small claims along the
foothills.
Hon. VIM Doolan is working the Corliss
mine and meeting with good success. A
seam Of ore was struck in Q drift from the
main tunnel which has already opened out
TO be over three feet wide. An up-raise has
been run on the ore Is feet, and shows that
the ledge is widening and dipping in q
northeasterly direction. There are from
8 to 10 tons Of ore on the dump, sacked up,
which will be shipped in q few days. The
prospects Of this mine are very promising.
On the dump at the Eldorado are IS tons
Of high grade ore, which has been taken
from the late developments on the lower
tunnel within the last two weeks. The ore
varies from four to six feet in thickness,
and is widening out as depth is reached.
The strike on the 220-foot level in the
Banner is opening out to be a large body.
Mr.. McGarry stated yesterday that he had
ore in all parts Of the mine, and that at no
time since its location has the Banner
looked so well as 1t does to-day.
The lessees Of the Grant broke into q
large cave on the first level, yesterday after
noon, which shows the largest body Of ore
ever opened up In that mine. We have
seen several pieces of the ore, which will
assay way up in the hundreds.
In sinking q shaft on the Republic TO a
depth Of 10 feet, two men have extracted
five tons Of 800 ore, within the past week.
The ore is about two-thirds gold, and the
ledge is well defined and widening as depth
is reached.
There is more work being done in the
mines on Prospect Mountain to-day than
at any former period since the discovery Of
the district.
Joe Rossiter has located the southern
extension of the Centennial mine under
the name Of The Pride Of the Mountain.
The Magnet series continues to improve
as work progresses.

Three Days Racing at the willows
Course.

Three Days Racing at the WILLOWS
Course.
A party of gentlemen met last evening
and determined to give three days racing
at the Willows Course, embracing the 3rd,
4th and 9Th Of July. The gentlemen are
among our best citizens, who propose.to
see that the public is mot only afforded
amusement on the occasion named, but
that everything shall be conducted on the
square as we'll. It was agreed that 81, ESQ
In purses should be hung up, and $500 Of
the amount was subscribed on the spot.
Messrs. Wren and Scott will canvass for
additional subscriptions in the forenoon
to-day and DR.. Bishop and Judge Rives
will take the field in the afternoon. 1t is
TO be hoped that our citizens will contrib
ute literally. The programme which win
DO arranged and made public IN . Few days
will embrace also q series OF foot-races.
The horse races will be u
according to the California State
Agricultural Society rules, and the CON-
mittee desire it to be understood most en-
phatically that no sort Of "scullduggery"
The idea is to furnish q few days Of
square amusement. The names Of the
gentlemen who have taken hold Of
the matter is q sufficient guarantee
that everything will be managed
or . dead square basis. Persons bringing
horses from q distance may rest assured
that they will be accorded . fair shake for
their money. Eureka is extremely dull in
the matter Of rational amusements. The
proposed racing season will supply an
agreeable diversion from everyday business
life and should be literally p~atronized.
