THE ALBION,
MT. williams Omcial Report Of the
Late Strike.

The letter to the San Francisco Office
given below was written some days ago,
since which the main drift has been con-
tinued 10 or Is feet further into the ore
body. The upraise Of Is feet mentioned
in the SENTINEL Of yesterday, has also been
made since the date Of the official letter.
Acting superintendent John W. Wilson,
writes as follows:
/ hasten to give you the earliest positive
knowledge regarding the chamber Of the
ore body found on the 9th inst, in the up
per level Of the Albion. Our drift was
running partially with the trend Of the ore
body at the point Of connection and we
have had very hard limestone to contend
with. The drift is 10Y wholly in ore, hav-
ing penetrated it last evening for the first
time, and have run diagonally into 1t a
distance OF 20 feet. Have seen enough to
convince me OF an extensive deposit.
Character Of the ore is of a red carbonate
and galena, very heavy, and / know it is Of
a good quality. The locality of the strike
is about go feet above our main level. In
the crosscut, Sc feet from the 125-foot mp
raise from southeast drift, the cross-cut
run nearly parallel with the Tiptop line
(Richmond); ore trends northwesterly and
we have apparently u under q heavy por-
ton of it. We are also finding the same
character Of ore in the Uncle Sam cross
cut 100 feet from the main level. 1t lies
in punches and seams. We are following
on the track we have drifted and are now
raising; have reason to believe it will lead
US to an ore body. We are doing a great
deal Of work, but as vet have made no ore
developments in other parts Of the mine,
though meet with favorable conditions.

THE CHRYsOLITE.
Summary Of Reyes Report Of the
Company's Operations.
From the Leadville HERALD

From the Leadville Herald.l
The Herald reporter last evening was al
lowed u make a few extracts from the
very full report made by Mr.. W. s. Reyes
to the Chrysolite Company, regarding the
past production and expenses Of the mine,
its present condition and the future pros
poets. The report was heard in full, but
as it is a special document, for the use Of
the officers of the company and to be by
them placed before the public, its entire
contents cannot be furnished the public in
advance. In the ten months of the COM
pany's existence, there have been taken
from the mine q 1854 tons Of ore, for
which have been received net from the
smelters, 81, 1922, 059. 89. The value of the
silver and lead contained in the ore, by
adding the SHELTERS charges, amounted to
So, 437 $40. For the entire time the ex-
penses, including labor, salaries, the large
plant of machinery and buildings, the i'm
mense amount Of timbering, the cost of
the strike and all incidental expenses, has
amounted to S601, 773. The net earnings
to the company have been 81, 100, 286. In
the expenses has been included the expen-
siye new machinery and buildings, the
complete saw mill and al taken together,
the finest plant on a mine in Colorado. In
regard to the present condition of the
mine, Mr.. Reyes says that yesterday the
output was seventy tons. For the present
week up to last night, and no ore was
shipped ON Sunday, the production has
been 301 tons, the average net value Of
which is about $50 to the ton, or over $24,-
600 in -four days. For the month OF July,
the shipments amounted to 1,735 tons,
1,845 pounds, for which was received,
net, $131, 750.70. The average price
for the month for ore was S75.89
per ton. Therefore, in regard to the
present condition, Mr.. Reyes says the
mine is taking out a clear profit OF over a
hundred thousand dollars q month. In
the future prospect business, it is not so
clear. In his statements he is guarded,
and even cautious, and still the report is
strongly to the effect that the mine will
yet produce largely. He says in estimat-
ing upon the value of mine three distinct
divisions should be made. First the act
ual sure reserves, second the mining prob
abilities, and third the mining possibilities.
The first should only include small blocks
Of ore, surrounded on all four sides by
drifts, and with evidence almost positive
that the ore continues through the entire
body, and even then liberal deductions for
possible barren spots should be made.
Each drift and cross cut in the mine is ac-
curstely described by Mr.. Keyes with a
description of the amount of ore devel-
oped, and the value of the ore exposed in
the drifts. He gives NJ definite figures as
to the future, but says large bodies Of ore
are exposed. OF the sixty-six acres Of
ground owned by the company, but three
and a half have been yet worked out.
More has been partially explored. but still
the contents, not definitely known. The
entire report win probably be published in
q short time.

THE GREAT WHISKY RING.
General McDOnaId.s New Book.


General John Mcdonald. of st. Louis,
the scrape-goat Of the infamous Whisky
Ring which robbed the United States Treas
ury OF millions in 1872, has, after serving
seventeen months in the penitentiary, re-
solved to make a clean breast of the stu
pendous frauds and robbery in which he
was one of the principal actors. When
pardoned from the prison in 1877 he said
he woul talk when h proper time ar
rived, and now the facts are about to be
published by him. in q volume entitled,
1.-THE Secrets of the Great Whisky Ring"
To a reporter of the New York World,
Grants Supervisor of Internal Revenue
said on Monday evening last
81 never lied to General Grant in all my
dealings with him. He had positive knowl-
edge of the operations. The ring was
formed to raise money for the campaign
expenses in 1872, and Grant and the lead
ers of the Republican party knew it. When
l had laid the plans in my district l went
to Washington and told Grant about them.
His instructions were to see Babcock and
| give him the details and then we could be
| protected from interference and trouble by
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
and the Treasury Department. Douglass
had information Of what was going on,
but begged not to be informed Of the de-
| tails that his conscience might not be bur-
| dened. Rogers knew as we'll as Avery,
who went to the penitentiary with us. I
tell you the Whisky Ring formed for the
purpose of raising a campaign fund had
! the sanction of the Administration and
was q party measure. We sent money to
Morton to be used in carrying Indiana,
and used 1t in paying the expenses of the
Republican speakers throughout the West.
Thousands Of 1t went to keep up Republic
can newspapers and to strengthen the
backbone of editors and make them for

trial in the fall of 1878, General Grant aud
Babcock were here. i had been indicted,
and they were afraid / was going to squeal.
They came to see what could be lone to

was firm they went back to Washington,
leaving promises that I should never suffer

and they begged me to hold of till Bah
cock could nave his trial. I furnished,
under positive pledges that they should be
returned to me, q batch OF Babcock's let
tiers, to be used il necessary in his trial.
They were not used, and never returned.
Babcock was acquitted, and that night he
came to me in the st. Louis Jail and
pledged his word that my pardon should
come as soon as he returned to Washing
ton. Almost the day after he got there
came the Belknap exposure, and / was
urged to hold of q little while longer.
Then the Cincinnati Convention was at
hand, and there was a probability Of Grant

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Some Suggestions by an Old Fire
man.

Mr.. Terry Mcmahon has furnished the
SENTINEL some suggestions regarding our
fire department. He thinks the present
system should be supplanted by a paid
department. composed OF experienced fire.
men to each fire apparatus, or so in all,
with q recognized head, or Chief Engineer.
These companies should be stationed in
different portions OF the town, and each
hose house provided with hunks, etc.,
for the accommodation of members. He
argues that while our volunteer depart
ment is composed Of good men, they are
compelled, in case OF a general confiagra-
ton to desert the ropes in order to save
their own p~roperty-thus leaving the pipes
to chance, or to be manned by inexperi-
enced outsiders. As now constituted, a
great majority Of each company is called
away by interest, and often at the most
critical moment. Regarding the cost Of
maintaining a paid department, Mr.. Nc
Mahon thinks it would not fall much
heavier on property holders Than the pres
ent system. On this head he says:
1.-The cost OF such q department as /
have described would not be much in ex-
cess OF our present volunteer department.
With q slight advance in the fire tax,
backed up by the insurance companies, the
necessary revenue would be provided. In
addition to the regular fire tax, merchants
and other business men are continually
taxed in the way Of buying ball tickets and
making other donations to keep up the So
called free department. Pay a little more
direct tax and dispense with ball tickets.
We would then be enabled to maintain q
thoroughly efficient department, and prop

asked to be q martyr for my friends a little
longer. Then came the campaign, and a.
q party measure I was asked to remain A
prisoner till the election. I waited for the
November returns, and l saw that Tilden
had the electoral majority. Then I said I
would wait no longer-they must let me
go. / had an address drawn up in which
/ narrated the origin Of the Whisky Ring.
1 told as briefly as / could what proofs /
had Of the completely of Grant and other
Republican leaders in the frauds. 1 sent
word that this document was TO be laid be-
fore Proctor Knots committee, then in
v~estigating the ring, unless my pardon was
forthcoming by the goth OF January, 1877.
Ex-Governor Fletcher, Of Missouri, came
to the p~enitentiary and read that paper.
Then, and not till then, it was that my
pardon came"
Referring to the loss of part of the Bah
cock letters, General Mcdonald said they
formed but q very few OF what he had and
for which alone $40, 900 had been offered.
He exhibited letter after letter, including
many signed ficticiously and under cover,
urging him to be steadfast and assuring
him Of sympathy and help from the White
House. These letters, he stated, would be
printed in his forthcoming book and with
other documents, some to be given in fac
smile, which would leave no room for
doubt that the whisky ring bad its rami6-
cations throughout the headquarters Of the
Republican party.
In reply to a question as to the time
when the book might be looked for, the
General said The Republican leaders
are bringing every pressure possible ON me
to get the publication postponed until
after the election. They have frightened
one publishing house, which had already
made a commencement on the manuscript,
by threatening injunction proceedings.
Two or three others. who stood ready to
take hold Of it, have been forced to refuse
it by various political influences brought
to bear. This has delayed me, and may
necessitate my going TO Chicago or Cincin-
natl to bring out the book but it shall be
published, and that before the campaign is
over. l gave the evidence to the Sherman
and Blaine manager, which they used ef-
fectually at Chicago to defeat Grant, and
now they are begging me to hold it back,
so as not to hurt the Republican party in
the present campaign, for the Republican
leaders are as deep in the mire as the
White House."

EUREKA,s Latest DISASTER.
Comments of the Sam Francisco
stock Report.

Comments Of the Sam Francisco
stock Report.
The San Francisco Stock Report CON-
ments as follows on our late fire and Its
consequences
The whole Coast will deeply sympathize
in the terrible misfortune which has over
taken Eureka, and should the Eurekans
need active assistance we feel sure 1t will
be readily and most cheerfully given. Eu-
reka, in common with the other cities and
towns Of Nevada and California, has been
suffering a period Of business depression,
and there have been local and special
causee which have made its case harder
than the average. Among these was the
legacy OF debt left to many OF its citizens
by the disastrous c~onfiagration OF a year
ago. Some Of them now are in debt for
property which is represented merely by
heaps Of smoking embers. A telegram
says that much encouragement is felt over
the calamity and we do not wonder that
such should be the case. But Eureka will
rise again from its ashes, and then we
hope that its citizens will take such pre-
cautions against fire as will prevent such
sweeping disasters. They have been talk
ing about doing so for some time but while
they were talking the fire came. This is
only too often the case with mining camps.
We notice one very pleasing episode Of the
disaster. viz that the SENTINEL, the Office
OF which was not burned, is getting out q
paper for the Leader, the Office of which
was completely destroyed. The SENTINEL
is Democratic and the Leader Republican,
we suppose they are to q certain extent
business rivals but that 10 not sufficient
to prevent a neighborly and gentlemanly
act when opportunity offers. We wish We
could think that all our San Francisco pa
pers were capable Of such journalistic
chivalry.
