Judge Of this District remember that
Boise solemnly promished Judge
Powell, Of this city, that he would
not be a candidate for Judge, and
then went completely back on his
word and received the nomination.
He simply told a .talselood to secure a's
office. At the same time you should
remember that when a vacancy occur
red on our bench two years ago, the
Albany bar, composed Of both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans unanimously
petitioned Gov. Thayer to appoint the
present Democratic candidate, w. M.
Ramsey, to fill the position.

that Mr. Umphrey, our candidate for

his goods at Portland. This is not the
case Mr.. Umphrey is poor man and
will have to buy on credit until after
harvest. A country farmer does not
get credit at Portland.

NATIONAL nEPrnLrcAA CONVENTION.

The Chicago Convention, which met
last Tuesday, is thus far havinga lively
"tussle" over matters. Up to the time
of adjournment last night the Conyen-
zion had only effected a temporary or
ganizAtion. The Convention meets
again this morning at 10 o'clock, when
it is expected that balloting for Presi-
Dental candidates viii begin. Thus far
Grant has the 'inside track" although
Blaine is at his rear, slashing away,
with Sherman good third, and Ed
munds and Washburne in the back
ground for 'cBlacl1 Horse" chances.
We regret that we are unable to give
the result before going to press.

A White Pine Mine Gaining Favor
in London.

The Consolidated Mining Company, an
English corporation, was designed to take
the place Of the South Aurora, of Treasure
Hill. The property lay dormant for several
years, but since the late development in
the Eberhardt and Aurora tunnel it is
again claiming attention. The Mining
Journal of the It'll inst. has the subjoined
regarding it At the Board meeting, on
Tuesday, Capt. Frank Drake was, with the
concurrence Of the Eberhardt and Aurora
Mining Company, appointed agent OF this
Company during the driving of the tunnel
through its ground. His appointment has
been notified him by telegraph. This is re-
garded as a most favorable feature, since it
denotes perfect harmony between this Com
pany and the Eberhardt and Aurora. Com
petent parties predict a brilliant future for
the concern. A circular has been addressed
to the late shareholders in the liquidated
South Aurora Company who have not yet
exchanged their shares for Consolidated
Mining shares, stating that the news from
America regarding the mining property
belonging to the Consolidated Mining Com
pany being Of a satisfactory character, and
considerable transactions taking place in
the shares, the Directors earnestly call
their attention to the necessity Of at once
exchanging their shares. The Directors
as soon as the necessary number
of shares pave been exchanged, to apply to
the Stock Exchange for an official quota
ton.

A Revolution I'm Quartz milling,

"White's improved" lately started at the
mill of the Alexander Company in Grants
vile, Nye County, is likely to prove .
success. Private advices from the Super
intendent, M. San Pedro, Of February 9Th,
to a friend in town, from which we have
permission to quote, says: 1--WE started
the pulverizer to-day at 10 NJ, and ran
through all the ore we had prepared. about
25 tons, in six hours. Between the pull
verizer and the battery twenty stamps)
we have worked to-day about IS tons,
which is all we can manage at present for
lack Of roasting capacity. As soon as we
have the other rooster ready we will work
100 tons per day-all we have present pan
capacity for. AS to the machine, it will be
a success; the question now to be deter
mined is, how long will it last, and what
parts will give out first? This we can
answer q month hence, and can make
preparations to meet the requirements"
The above will be good news to the mill
men who work their ores by the dry pro-
cess; in fact, when thoroughly tested and
the weak points provided for, it will work
a complete revolution in quartz milling
-25 tons in 6 hours, 100 tons in "a hours,
thoroughly pulverized. No more batteries
with their array of shoes, dies, bosses,
stems, cams, noise and dust and endless
attendants; this machine does it's work
silently and well, occupies little space,
requires little attention, and is just the
thing required at such a mine as the
Alexander, where the quantity Of ore is
unlimited.

Another Dividend Declared by the
London Board.

London Board
We are in receipt Of the London Min
ing Journal, of date Feb. 7th. 1t alludes
to the condition of the mine, as gathered
from Manager Richards report, as follows:
At their meeting on Tuesday, the Directors
declared a dividend Of rs. Cd. per share,
free of income tax, payable on Tuesday
next. The developments in the mine are
most satisfactory; the new chamber (No.
Isl discovered on the 400, under the Tip
top ground, is opening out well, a large
body Of good ore is already exposed, and a
connection in ore for the whole distance OF
$50 feet has been made between this cham
Der and No. Is on the GOO, and the ore is
still making up in the back OF No. 10
chamber. Mr.. Richard, in his report OF
January 7th. states that where they have
begun to put in timbers in the bottom OF
No. Is chamber, there is a very nne breast
of rich ore exposed, and that all the other
chambers are opening out well. The fur
naces are in good working order. Nos. l
and 2 are smelling about 900 tons OF Rich
mond ore per week; No. A refinery dresses
with low grade Richmond and purchased
ores. The refinery was hut dow on De-
cember 3lst, the machinery thoroughly
overhauled, and restarted the following
week. The price of lead has further adj
vanced, the latest quotation in New York
being Ga cents per pound (about f2s per
English toni. The weather is very severe
in Eureka, but the Directors expect to be
able to run the furnaces throughout the
winter. The position OF the company,
both financially and otherwise, is very
strong, and its prospects are most encour-
aging. The usual telegram from the mines
at Eureka, Nevada, states that the weeks
run was $50, 600, from $50 tons Of ore.
During the week the refinery produced
dore bars to the value Of S38, 900.

Mr.. Robinson interviewed by the
Boston Economist.

The Boston Economist has an account Of
an interview with Mr.. +. N. Robinson, Of
this District. Mr.. Robinson is q ~sslittle
off, in some particulars, but we give his
views to show that he is saying a good
word for the camp abroad. Says the Econo-
mist
We have had the pleasure OF a visit from
Mr.. L. N. Robinson, Superintendent Of the
Albion Mine, Eureka District. Nevada,
who reports a very encouraging condition Of
things in his District. He states that the
Silver Peak Tunnel and Mining Company,
in the stock Of which a number OF Boston
gentlemen are interested, have very brill
liant prospects that they have already
passed. through one large body OF ore, and
are within $50 feet Of their objective point,
the Silver Peak Mine. He considers the
future Of this Company TO be full OF
promise, and warmly commends the sa-
gacity OF Gen. L. p. Connor, who located
the tunnel.
Mr.. Robinson considers the Eureka Con-
solidated to be q good mine yet. and not
by any means exhausted. He thinks, how
ever. that the Company will soon have to
erect new heavy hoisting works and pump
ing machinery at their new working shaft
which will be the largest Of that OF any
mine in the country. These works are
necessary to take care Of the large amount
OF water in the mine, and will cost in the
nelghborhood Of $780, 900 to $500, 900.
He visited the mine five or six weeks ago,
when it looked very well. Mr.. Robinson
estimates a favorable result OF the suit OF
the Eureka Consolidated against the Rich
mond Company for ore taken out Of their
mine, and estimates the damages to be re-
covered ut nearly 81 ,000, 900. In this suit,
Mr.. Robinson was retained as an expert,
and made an elaborate report, accompanied
by maps OF the worked ore chambers, and
estimates that the Richmond people took
out Of the Eureka's ground about 1000
tons OF ore.
About the prospects OF his own mine, the
Albion, Mr.. Robinson expressed himself
very confidently. The mine has been en-
Joined from being worked for some time
past by the Richmond Company. who
claim q right to follow their ore body be-
yond their end line, which would carry
them into the Albion's ground. Work was
recommended on the Albion q week ago
last Monday, and very favorable reports
have been received since then from the
mine.
Mr.. Robinson considers that the reason
why more foreign capital has not been put
into the development OF the mines OF Eu-
reka District is that the mine owners, as a
rule, nave been too reticent about publish
ing the news from their mines, and refuse
to support the local press in its attempts 10
let the outside world know what is going
on.
