Tnere are so many quiet, and also puny, little
presidential boomS being worked in the demo-
cratic party that 1t is impossible to arrive at the
real choice Of the several state delegations
already elected 10 the Cincinnati convention.

year the policy OF sending uninstructed delepa-
lions, and there Is accordingly nothing by which

The bin providing for an increase Of the police
force OF the District of Columbia was not con-
sidered In the Senate yesterday upon Its merits.
The republicans apparently sought to make
political capital out OF It. Politics Is certainly
assuming too great sway over national legisla-
ton when grave and dignihed Senators attempt
TO turn bill for the protection Of the national
capital TO party advantage. The District Com
mlSS1onerS not only recommended but urged
the repeal OF that clause OF the statute which
requires That appointments to the police force
shall be made from ex-union soldiers and sailors
They know all the difficulties OF the situation
and after carefully considering the subject In
all us bearings. they are convinced that 1t Is
nearly impossible TO make up a first
class police force under this restriction
for the reason that very many of the men
who served in the war OF the rebellion.
and who are willing to act as policemen.
are now too old to make efficient officers
Had the law been framed so that the Com mis-
misdoners could take their pick from the class
provided, and compel the best men to serve
after being selected. there would be some sense
In Its provisions; but limiting their choice to
sucn as might offer makes the range of selee.
ton too narrow TO secure efficient service. as
any one must see on a moments reflection
Besides, such restriction does not exist In any
otner city In the country and there Is no good
reason for It's application to Washington. On
the other hand. every consideration wou Id
seem TO require that the national capital should
nave the very best police force In the country,
or at least as good as that OF any orner place,
large or small To insure this the Commission
erS should have the widest and best field DOS
stble TO select from.

former. The state convention will be held In

The political attention Of the country will
now be turned 10 Cincinnati, for, 1t must be ad-

ton will depend very largely upon the ticket
nominated by the democrats. There are really
no fundamental questions Of difference between
the two great political parties The ticket OF
each will, consequently, command more than
usual attention, and as II may be popular or un.
popular, will either ATTRACT more votes or repel
more than In any presidential canvass for many

Notes Of the FL Dorado, Dunderberg
and Other Properties.

The recent development in the Ell Dorado
has proved to be OF much greater extent
than wal at first anticipated, the ~stringers
Of ore having led to quite a large BODY,
which assays from $500 to $3.50 per ton.
Mr.. Riley, the lessee, has been doing dead
work for the past eleven months, and his
lease had only a month more to run, when
the formation changed and showed good
indications Of being close to q body OF ore.
Jim got his lease renewed for another year,
and will now reap q rich reward for his
many months OF patient toll.
The Tillican. a location recently made
by Mr.. Ed. Emery, Foreman OF the
deed over to that Company, is being opened
up, and shows signs Of turning out a valu-
able piece OF property. The Tillican is
located on the apex Of Hoosac mountain,
directly west Of the hosting works, and is
being prospected by an incline shaft, which
is run through q quartz formation con-
tanning considerable low-grade ore.
From Mr.. Lesser, who visited the Hoosac
mine a few days ago, we learn that the
main drift is now in over 760-feet, and in
very favorable formation. Occasional
punches Of high grade ore, showing spots
OF antimonial silver, nave been taken from
the face OF the drift during the last ten
feet, and everything indicates that the
main ledge is liable to be run into at any
time.
The ore body in the Dunderberg con-
tinues to improve in extent and richness
as 1t is opened up, and gives promise Of
being the largest body ever discovered in
that mine.
Two prominent mines were bonded yes
terday for the Eastern market. We are
requested to withhold names and particu-
lars for the present.

Another day has passed without tele-
graphic connection with the outside world,
save for a few minutes yesterday morning.
No business has been transacted across the
Sierra since the Goth. A train made up at
Truckee passed East yesterday. This
brought us exchanges as far West as the
now belt. From these and other sources
we learn something Of the great storm on
the mountains. Twenty feet Of snow fell
on the summit in forty-eight hours, and
eight miles of snow shed were completely
swept away between Emigrant Gap and
Cisco. A huge land or rock slide also &C.
CURED in the neighborhood Of the latter
place. Several a~valanches, carrying hun
dreds OF feet Of nov shed before them,
are reported between Truckee and the sum-
NIT. Twenty Cinnamon were buried in Q
snow slide, seventeen Of whom were res
cued alive. The Railroad Company is put
ting forth s~uperhuman efforts to clear the
track. One thousand men and twenty en-
gines are engaged in the work. 1t is esti-
mated by some Of the railroad men al the
scene Of trouble that trains will not be
able to pass before Saturday night or
Sunday. Truckee and Reno on this
side, and Alta and CoIfax on the other,
are overrun with delayed trains and pas
sengers. The Boston exc~ursionists are
hung up at Reno. 1t is thought the wires
may be in working order to-day, but the
great pressure Of delayed private business
is likely to render press reports impossible
for another day. The situation is per-
picking. but as it cannot be helped, we
must endure II as best we NAV,

ASESTINEL reporter was yesterday shown
a letter from an old Eurekan now in Belle
vile. The writer is not prepossessed with
the country. He says: "The present finds
me in Belleville, the d-dest place you

ria, and that place is still worse. There
are more men than you ever saw in 30

fore I get back. / am going to work to-
morrow in the mill at 81 a day, and when

more favorable locality. The whole coun-
try is . and desert and hotter than blazes.
I have met here q few old Eurekans. They
all seem dissatisfied, and wish themselves
