BLAINE AGAINST CONKLING.

The votes in the New York Legisla-
ture for United States Senators afford
very little consolation to Conkling or
his colleague, Piatt. 1t is plainly evil
dent that neither can be elected with
out Democratic assistance, and that they
will net be likely to receive.
Blaine, not Garfield, is attempting to
crush Conkling. He attributes his de-
feat in the Republican Conventions Of
1876 and 1880 to the New York Senator
and is seeking for revenge. Garfield
Is said to be sympathetic man, with
10 natural liking for contention except
in debate, where he can do his part of
the talking. He is said to feel the
force of what Governor Foster, when
lie visited Washington, told him; that
Is, that the rupture with Conkling is
wholly unnecessary, and that it was
his business to prevent, not make, dis
cord. Blaine advised him to do other
wise, and suggested Robertson for
Collector at New York, know
ing that he wa4 personally
Objectionable to Conkling This was
the entering wedge which promises to
disrupt the Republican party, not only
in New York but in every State in
which Grant has much OF following.
This suits Blaine. who expects, when
the Third Termers are crushed, to be
nominated for President without oppo-
sition.

stake, and are being prospected with
very fattering results.
ON THE EAST SIDE
Of the range the Bayfield, Company are
down two hundred feet, and are now
drifting, having passed through body
of very hard blue ore, assaying from
$50 to $40 per ton. There are thousands
of tons of this ore already in sight,
the drift passing through a body of it
for distance OF forty feet. Not much
else is being done on the east side, as
parties seem to be waiting for further
developments in the Bayfield,. 1t takes
long time to develop a mining camp
with limited means, and this has been
the unfortunate circumstance of | X l..
But there seems to be no doubt of the
ultimate success of this camp, although
Pike Hollow has to-day the brightest
prospects, and will probably have the
first mill in active operation.
The building of the Carson and Colo
RADIO railroad has so materially affected
the business of Churchill, that nearly
every one looks to Silver Hill, where
these mines are located, as a panacea
for their departing thrift.
CROPS AND CATTLE.
Crops never looked better on the sink
than to-day, where the ubiquitous grass
hopper has not yet infested them. The
barley crop will receive no injury from
his depredations, but he is making sad
havoc among some of our alfalfa fields.
1t is, however, the general belief that
he is neither so numerous nor SO raven
Gus as last year.
Cattle seem to be doing well-better,
in fact, than for several years. Hill Il
Grimes have sold their band of some
fifteen hundred head. They go to the
head of Walker River, and are now
being gathered. The price is not made
public, but it is understood to be Sl3
per head, delivered. This is not SO bad,
when cattle could be bought, one and
two years ago, for $40 and Sll per head,
delivered.
