| ling, and OF the Comstock's Future
The Chronicle of last evening says
! Senator Jones was on the Comstock to-
day and stood an ordeal of handshaking
which spoke volumes for his good
nature as well as for the general esteem
in which he is held at home. He APP
pears in excellent health and spirits. In
the course of an interview had with
him by reporter, Senator Jones, IN
answer to inquiries, said: "President
Arthur's administration will be marked
by firmness, wisdom and careful inter-
probation of law, aside from any per-
sonal prejudices. L do not believe that
a change is likely to be made in the
New York Collectorship, at least for the
present. The President will carry out
the tenure-of- Office law strictly, which
provides that changes shall not be made

OF his own record as Collector of the
Port of New York is complete in every
particular and significant commentary
on the injustice and Inconsistency of
Mr.. Hayes. The removal Of Collector
Merritt is further proof of the insin-

"Do you consider Conkling as polit-

"Have you hopes of the future of the
Comstock 20

fingers the insignificant number of
lrifts in the north-end mines during
he past five years and then consider
what an immense field remains for eX-

"Wiil you remain long on the coast?"
"About tive weeks. l am going to
tart for San Francisco tonight, and
will return with my family within
hree or four days, when 1 hope to
meet all of my friends here. l may
