After careful consideration Of the many tmpor-
questions to be settled at the coming election
have decided that can no longer with the Dem
ocrattc party with which, up to the present time
have been identified. The policy of that party on
finance and the tariff does not meet my approval
The welfare of the whole country and Its interests
should be considered before the Of any par
ticular party, and with this belief 1 can no longer
support a party with which differ SO widely, a
party whose strength seems to rest in solid South
and whose policy must necessarily be shaped by the
men who place it in power. Without solid South
Gen. Hancock would not have been nominated
Without solid South he cannot hope to be elected
AS man of integrity, If elected, he cannot ignore
the men who placed him In power and, In my opin-
ion, the time has not yet arrived when the best
terests OF the Nation would be promoted by the
policy pursued by the men who would inevitably
assume control of the Government in case of Demo-
cratic success For these and other weighty reasons
cannot convince myself that the prosperity of the
country would be promoted by the success Of the
Democratic party and therefore request that my
name be placed on the roll Of the Garfield and Ar
thur club over which you preside

BRISTOL ITEMS.

An important development is being
made in the Hillside where, on the 9Th
level east, the face of the drift upon
prosecuting yesterday showed breath
of nearly 30 feet of iron and spar, with
between and feet of clear yellow car.
Donate, the extent of which can not as
yet be ascertained until all the tagging
and stulls are placed. The ore seems to
go INTO the hanging wall and is very soft,
being of an entirely different character
from that previously had in the drift,
which was of dark color, very much
mixed, and of lower grade. The drift is
now in nearly 500 feet, virgin ground,
and the development looks more prom
Using than anything heretofore in the
mine for the past eight months.
From seven to ten tons of $50 rock is
being shipped to the Hillside furnace
from the Bay State, which is daily i'm
proving, showing four foot vein of ore
west of the shaft. A tunnel has been
commenced to make connection with the
shaft for the better circulation Of air. 1t
is now in 20 feet, with small streaks of
ore and punches of copper in the face.
The Hillside furnace is doing splendid
work, and with the encouraging outlook
of the mines, more bullion will be turned
out during this run than for any previous
run the past year.
Work in the tunnel in the Iron mine
to cut the ledge is being pushed ahead
with every prospect of stricking it soon.

THE HILLSIDE.
New York Mining Record :


Below, we print the text of a circular
which has been addressed by mail to the
Eastern shareholders of this property, by
a committee appointed for that purpose,
at meeting of such shareholders in this
city one day last week. We have reason
to believe that the Directors of the COM
pany will put no obstacles in the way of
the complete investigation which the
committee propose to have made, both at
the mines and works in Nevada and Of
the books of the company in San Fran
cisco, for which investigation the services
OF an entirely competent and trusy ex-
pert have been secured so soon as sane
toned by the provision of the necessary
funds. 1t is confidently believed that
such arrangements may be made as shall
put the Hillside in the early future upon
a steady paying basis for the share
holders. The circular is as follows:
NEW YORK, Sept. Is, 1880.
The committee of four, appointed at
the meeting of Eastern stockholders of
the Hillside Mining Company to confer
with Mr.. MCGEE, representing the pres
emit managers of the company, on the
future course to be taken to redeem their
lately sold property, have arrived at the
following plan of reorganization, which
they hope will prove satisfactory to all
concerned:
The new company to be organized
under the New York law; 200, 900 shares
unassessable stock, 100000 of which
shares to be held as working capital, to-
gether with 1900 shares now in the
treasury of the company, and such
amount of this stock to be sold in the
East as will be necessary to redeem the
property and pay off the additional float
ing debt of about ST., 900.
The present managers are willing to
have Eastern parties control the new cor
poration, and are confident to be able to
make the mine self-supporting, after pay
ment of present debt, and eventually
dividend-paying The committee have
concluded to send out to Bristol reli-
able expert to inform Eastern holders of
the value of the property before reorgan-
izing anew; and to defray the expenses
for this purpose, and also for the examin-
alton OF the books of the company at San
francisco, to determine whether the
moneys of the company so far have been
properly expended, the committee now
calls for an assessment of five cents per
share on Hillside stock, to be paid at the
office of the New York Mining Record,
by such stockholders as desire to get
some value out of their investment.
The intention is to reimburse share
holders who pay this assessment, on the
formation of the new company. Stock
holders are requested to send their pro
rata at once, as no time should be lost
to redeem this valuable property.
Stockholders will please send check to
Alex. R. Chisolm, Treasurer of the Hill
side Committee, 81 Broadway, New York.

At Shoal Creek, recently, a mother,
whose name We could not learn, observed
her little child to be crying and putting
its hand to its side as if pin was sticking
into it. An examination of the irritated
part revealed three small punctures in the
skin, which was much swollen and in
famed. The mother, puzzled as to what
occasioned those little wounds, could do
nothing to alleviate the suffering of the
child, which soon went into spasms and
died, having first bitten the mother, who
remained sick for several days on account
of the bite. Shortly after her recovery,
the mother observed huge rattlesnake
come out from under the doorstep, where
the child had been in the habit Of play
ing, and the mystery of those fatal little
wounds were solved.

1t will be remembered that several
years ago that Groome District, in the

DAY LEFTER.-The following is the
official letter of the Day Mining Com.
pany "a. S. Gould, superintendent,
dated October LIST, 1880: II arrived at
Royal City yesterday and Immediately
resumed charge of the company's prop
erty. My examination of the mine is
not yet complete, but l am sorry to say
that considerable of the recent workings
are very imperfect and not at all adapted
to systematic and economical develop
ment of the deposits. 1 have already
made nuonerous changes, and will have
the mine in good shape as speedily as
possible. The region of the old cave,
forty feet below the old tunnel level,
shows up quite favorably; indeed it con-
tinues as it has ever done since the dis
covery last Fall, the most interesting and
encouraging part of the mine. Last night
we struck about foot of very handsome
carbonate in drift southwest from the
cave. There are 40 tons of ore probably
$780,, in the ore house, and probably 200
tons OF badly assorted iron base ore on
the platforms. Mr.. Howell, of the Hill
side furnace, says he will take our ores
in 100 tons or more and give credit for
Day bullion as per shipments.
BEFORE THE BOARD. w. E. Griffin
yesterday appeared before the Board Of
| Equalization as the agent Of Lazard
Freres for the purpose of obtaining a re-
duction in the taxes on the Raymond &
Ely property for the year 1880. AL
though he presented to the Board some
very good points to induce them to make
the reduction, they did not see it in the
same light, believing that the property
had been assessed at fair valuation, and
refused to make any, decrease in the
amount charged.
GARFIELD AND HANCOCK. The con-
tract let to sink shaft fifty feet on this
claim has been completed, and another
contract to sink it fifty feet deeper will
be given out. Stringers of ore came in
during tho entire progress of sinking, and
there is every indication of the property
proving very valuable one.
Look TO Your STovE-PIPEs. Now that
cold weather is at hand it would be well
for our citizens to examine their stove.

and see that they are secured and in
