CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The Times Washing
ton correspondent says Mr.. Tilden is very
favorable to Chicago as the place for the
Democratic Convention. He is not out of
the race, and it is certain that he can con-
troll the nomination if he does not get it
himself.
The Tribune's Washington special cor
respondence says Senator Blaine's friends
had a conference at his house last night,
where it was decided that they shall hence
forth make an active open fight for the
Republican nomination. General Albright,
of Pennsylvania, says he knows that
twenty of the delegates from Pennsylvania
will not respect the unit rule adopted at
the Harrisburg Convention. Indignation
meetings are being held throughout Penn
sylvania protesting against that rule and
instructing the Blaine delegates to vote for
Blaine.

feelings toward Grant and Blaine, and re-
ferred briefly to their respective qualifica-
tons and said he believed the unwritten
law against a third term should not be vio-
lated.
MINING AFTER
New York, Feb. 13.-Professor Blake
was interviewed yesterday, by q reporter,
on mines and mining in the far West. He
said the great expansion Of the mining in
dustry during the past few years was the
result OF, not Of outside efforts to develop
fictitious ya.aos and encourage speculation,
but of the actual wealth-producing capacity
Of the business. Leadville, he says, is
good for q great many years yet, and many
new regions remain to be opened. While
in Leadvi.le q few weeks ago he found hun
dreds of persons preparing to push on to
Eagle River, about rs miles distant, as soon
as spring opens. Very rich developments
have been made there.
