The ASSAYS ARE MOST SATISFACTORY
Hundreds Of Acres Already Leased
MACHINERY ORDERED.
veins of Ore Eight Feet Thick.


QeA
was recently ~prospected by the Postmaster
at Plainfeld, who had several specimens
| OF Arizona and Colorado ores in his pos
session. The specimens taken from the
mine, assayed by Filler Il Stillman of this
| city, showed silver and gold in sufficient
quantities to justify working. The exact
figures given by the assayers it is impossi-
BILE to obtain. but the result Of the exami-
nation has been most satisfactory. lease
was at once obtained Of Field for the mine
for 20 years, and other leases on adjacent
property to the amount Of many hundreds
Of acres was procured. A prominent CAPT.
talist was induced to make an examination
and thorough inspection. From forty to
fifty thousand dollars worth of machinery
has already been ordered, and IN . few
days it is expected ore, or what is said to be
ore, will be transported from the mines to
the mills that have been secured on the
line of the Central Railroad at Plainfield.
It is said that veins OF ore eight feet thick
crop out on the surface at many places
where the mining privileges have been Sc
cured, and miners estimate the yield OF
gold and silver will be heavy and profita-
BILE, as the copper will pay enough to meet
ali the expenses.
Confidence of Grants Friends.
New York, May 29.-Notwithstanding
| the asserted confidence Of Grants friends
in his nomination at Chicago, it is evident
that they anticipate a failure, unless they
win on the first ballot. hence every effort
is making to secure this. The anxiety on
the subject is intense among all parties z
| classes. It is noticeable that the opposi-
| ton to Grant is based almost exclusively
on considerations Of policy. and not per-
sonal hostility. The Grant managers here
intend, if successful, to nominate Stewart
L. Wood for the second place but it is
considered doubtful, in any event, that New
York can take the Vice Presidency again
this year.
