ConlslinO Losing Ground.

ALBANY, N. Y, May 1s.-There has been a
marked change in the situation of the sena-
torial matter to-day. It is evident members
of the legislature have advices from their
constituents. Those who were before unpre-
pared to express themselves have talked freely
to-day, and many signed the papers In circula-
tion, taking positions they refused to do when
first invited. One of these papers expresses
the fullest confidence in President Garfield
and his action concerning New York State
nominations to the United States Senate. The
other declares the signers will not abide by the
action of any Legislative caucus which nom-
mates Conkling or Platt. The first paper was
signed yesterday by many who would not sign
the other To-day several of these have
signed the latter paper. 1t is claimed tonight
signatures enough have been attached to
the latter declaration to make 1t utterly i'm.
possible to elect Conkling and Platt, and the
anti-C Conkling section are exceedingly iubilant.
The stalwarts exhibit decision, though some
of them are exceedingly bitter. They are very
reticent as to their intentions, and act as If
playing q still hand, 1t being reported that
neither Conkling nor Platt are candidates for
reelection, but this has been contradicted.
THE FLOOD GATES OPENED
The outburst in the Senate chamber to-day
when Robertson's confirmation was announced
was the most enthusiastic demonstration ever
witnessed in such place. It broke down the
barrier of decorum, and the chamber fairly
rung with cheers and applause. Robertson
was overcome, and afterwards said in all his
life he never before knew what it was to be
popular. Immediately after this demonstra-
tion the anti-Conkling element seemed to swell
into proportions momentarily. It appeared to
be thel opening of the flood gates of long
pent up feeling. There has been some talk of
the Senate refusing to 60 into an election
to fill the vacancies, but the leaders of the
anti Conkling element this afternoon declare
the election should take place, that the legisla.
ture should not adjourn until choice is made
and that neither of the resigning Senators
should be returned. 1t is not for the Conkling
element to say when the election shall be
held. They are ready but the
governor still withholds his notification. This
action on his part has given rise to suspicion
that the Conkling element prefer not to 60
into an election with this legislature. Already
names of candidates are mentioned, among
them VIM. M. Wheeler, VIM. M. Evarts, Thur
man Rogers, Judge Folger, Warren Miller,
Reuben E. Fenton and Chauncey NJ. Depew.
The Democrats will undoubtedly name
Herman and ex-Gov. Lucius Robinson.

General Dodge, formerly President Of
the Eureka Consolidated, and whose death
was recently chronicled in these columns,
is thus spoken Of by the San Francisco
Stock Report; General Dodge was q native
Of Vermont where he received q liberal ed
ucation. He entered the army as q Lieu
tenant during the civil war, and finally re-
tired from the service as Brevet- Brigadier-
General. After serving as Consul General
to Bremen he came to California and en-
gagged in the mining business. He was a
big-brained man, of splendid physique,
and until stricken with al incurable dis
ease, had few equals in mental and physi-
cal activity. He was for years a leader in
mining circles. No schemes were too colos-
sal for him to handle, and prominent cap
~italists Of this city we're always ready to
stake money and credit on his skill, judg-
ment and enterprise. Mining camps in all
the States and Territories on this Coast are
indebted to his energy and capital for de-
velopment. He was taken ill about four
years ago, and for three years has been
helplessly invalid. But for the tireless de-
votion OF his wife. who scarcely left him
day or night, he would have passed away
many months ago. At the time Of his
death he was in his f~orty-third year.

The programme for the Miners Union
picnic appears under the head of New
To-day" 1t will be held on the line Of
the Eureka 4 Palisade Railroad. at Q place
called Fagan's ranch, 80 miles from Eu-
reka. The committee in selecting the spot
took all the circumstances Of the sur
roundings into consideration. 1t would
be impossible to find conveyance for the
crowd that would be likely to attend the
festival anywhere In the immediate neigh
borhood OF Eureka, and they concluded
that the railroad was the only safe corpora
ton to trust for an occasion OF this kind
to give the public satisfaction. The com
mittee, who have visited the grounds, state
that they are In very attractive condition,
the willow groves appear to be prettier and
the streams OF water equally as large as
they were during the Centennial Guard ex-
cursion. In hunting about the place the
COMMITTEES also discovered three splendid
springs, not far from the camping
ground. The gentlemen on the whole
think that the location during the
coming month will be much more delight
iui thar 1t was several months ago. The
prizes for the various sports are very lib
eral. In the baseball line the Union has
done the most handsome thing possible.
II has offered q prize Of $3.50 for a game
between . Eureka club and q club from
Austin, and there 10 no doubt but what ar
engagements will be made to bring these
" giant organizations to compete for the
purse. This alone will have a tendency to
draw an immense crowd. This picnic will
evidently close the season, and the public
will make the best Of 1t.

The SENTINEL suggested the other day
that the last Legislature was being killed
of alphabetically. The Virginia Chronicle
takes issue with us because Senator Doolin
has been spared. After quoting the re-
marks OF the SENTINEL. the Chronicle
jokes our Senator as follows
"And what OF Doolin-Doolin the re-
sonant, the matchless ? 1t is not difficult
to understand why Death should skip with
his scythe an orator who has ON more than
one occasion saved the State from an In
dian war by his soothing e~loquence and
furnished employment to worthy me-
chanics by making repairs to the plaster
ing OF the Senate Chamber necessary, but
Doolin stands a living and glorious proof
Of the unsoundness Of the alphabetical
theory OF Providence's plan Of vengeance
upon the late Legislature. Can it be that
Doolin's continued existence Is intended
as a stern rebuke to the giant railroad
monopoly, compared by the unapproach-
able Doolin to an octopus enfolding this
State in its boa-like tolls, and sinking its
tiger fangs with wolfsh ferocity into the
breast Of the Battle born? Perhaps this
explains the neglect Of Providence to re-
move Doolin."

RICKARD's REPORT.
what He Saw and Says OF Stafford
District,


Superintendent Richard of the Rich
mond visited the new Stafford District on
Friday last. He brought up with him
about 80 samples Of ore for assay. These
pieces were tested yesterday. He got one
assay going above 5000 to the ton, another
showed a value Of sl20 and the rest ranged
from SO to SIG. To a SENTINEL reporter
he said he was better satisfied with the
district since getting his assays than he
was before. He was not favorably i'm
pressed with the place or the ground. He
Is now satisfied that there is a chance to
find q mine. There is no big thing in
sight anywhere, but the indications are
worth following up. He regards the SAT-
ford location as a mineraliZed mass, which
cannot be viewed in any other light than
as q most promising prospect. No one
can tell what it may amount to until it
shall have been further developed. There
are evidences Of surface disturbance in
the neighborhood. 1t will be necessary to
get into a solid formation before the real
merits OF the ledge can be correctly de-
termined. He does not think it will re-
quire great depth to do this. The black
ened nature of the section comes from 9
superabundance OF manganese in the rock.
On the whole, Superintendent Richard has
a very fair opinion Of the chances Of the new
district. The finding OF %high-grade ore
there at all is a most encouraging circum-
stance. The SENTINEL is glad to be able
to record SO favorable a view OF the new
camp, from q competent judge. such as
Mr.. Richard is acknowledged to be.
NoTE.-Since the above was written we
have been placed in possession of Mr..
Richards assays as follows: Onondaga,
81 "a, S44 90, $12 Al, s240 16, SlS SO,
s135 II, $l3 SO, S155. S27 %, SIG 68, SIG i6;

PROSPECTING ON THE COM.
STOCK.
The Most Colossal Mining In the
World.


World.
Professor Raymond in the Engineering
and Mining Journal has the subjoined de-
auctions relative to prospecting on the
Comstock: As every one knows, the Com
stock mines at the present time are all in
'borrasca," or poor ground, and not one
Of them is to-day paying a dollar in divi-
dends. On the contrary they are all levy
ing assessments, and are spending enorm-
GUS sums in prospecting and driving after
that will-of-the-wisp bonanza, that is for
ever being predicted as just q little be-
yond the levels Of every mine ON the lode.
The Yellow Jacket, that at one time had a
famous bonanza which paid in dividends
50, 1874, 900 previous to 1871, and which has
been.a steady assessment for the greater
part of the last ten years, has ~prospected
the lode to a depth exceeding 5000 feet by
a shaft which, on the LIST Of July last had
cost, without interest, 81, 657, 2O3 SO, and is
yet without ore. The assessments Of this
company have already amounted to 81 .098,-
600, and during the year ending June 80,
1881, the expenses Of running the mine
were S549, TAO, of which $27, $50 were on ac-
countof and for driving the Sutro Tunnel.
During the year LOSS feet Of drifts were
run, and $50 feet OF diamond drill prospect
holes, which was all the effective prospect
ing done for over half a million dollars.
The greater part OF the outlay was for
pumping and repairs. The Superintend-
emit says: "From April Is, when connec-
ton was made with the Sutro Tunnel, to
June 20, or a little more than one month,
we pumped and hoisted SO, 000. 900 gallons
or 360, 900 tons Of water. We have since
that time had a steady flow Of 60 miners
inches, or 729 gallons per minute" This
amount, OF tons per minute or about 3, 300
tons q day, is raised from the 3000-foot lev
Ell to the Sutro Tunnel, nearly 1,500 feet.
and involves an expense greater than that
required to work some Of the largest and
most profitable mines in the country. Yet
at the present time the Yellow Jacket il
simply q prospect, and all these expendi-
lures are merely prospecting expenses in
Cured in the hope of finding something.
And this is but one out of a score OF mines
prospecting the Comstock, none OF which
pays expenses. Never before in the his
tory of the world have such enormous
sums been expended for prospecting as we
see to-day on the Comstock. The same
amount prudently invested in less expen-
sive and more promising districts would
no doubt produce vastly better results.

Some Facts Regarding . Road That
IL to Pass Through h Heart OF
Our tate.

Some Facts Regarding u Road That
IL to Pass Through the Hear OF
Our State.
The Lander Free Press Of yesterday has
the annexed item Of interest to the people
OF the whole State: Col. Lyman Bridges,
Chief Engineer, P. W. johnson, Secretary,
and W. l.. French, Director Of the Califor-
mia Central Railway, were passengers on
Wednesdays west-bound overland train on
their way from Salt Lake to San Francisco,
where the head Office Of the company is To-
Gated. Mr.. johnson remained over here
one day, and from him we gathered the
following in regard to the new road:
The party left San Francisco some weeks
ago for the purpose of examining the
route between California and Utah. They
travelled by private conveyance from The
summit of the Sierras at Mammoth Pass,
to Cedar City. Utah, and found a very
practical route, with easy grades all the
way. The proposed road will run from
San Francisco to Santa Cruz, over what is
known as the San Francisco & Ocean
| Shore Railway, thence by Yosemite Valley
to Mammoth Pass, entering Nevada in the
neighborhood of Bodie; thence to Silver
Peak; thence to Crystal Springs in Pah-
ranagat Valley, Lincoln County, and from
| that point to Cedar City, Utah, and into
| the immense coal and iron fields OF South
ern Utah, and connect with the southern
Utah road at a point about 800 miles south
Of Salt Lake City. The distance
from Mammoth Pass to Cedar City Ia
about 51l miles. A party OF surveyors are
now at work on the California end, and
another party will commence at Silver
Peak In o few days and survey eastwara to
Crystal Springs, and q third party started
east of Crystal Springs on the 4th Of the
present month to run the line to Cedar
City. -.
fornia Central was incorporated in Salt
Lake City with the following Board Of Di'
rectors: W. W. Walker Of New York, J.
H. Kinkead Of Nevada, John Sharp OF Sal
Lake, Lyman Bridges of Nevada, w. L.
French Of Sap Francisco, P. W. johnson
Of Nevada, A. Fl. Washburn OF San Fran.
cisco, R. P. Laton of San Francisco, ant
W. 8. Godbe OF Salt Lake. 1t Is the in
tention OF the company to push the worl
as fast as possible, and to that end severa
parties Of surveyors will be put in tn
Acid immediately. and o. soon as the lint
Ia permanently located gradings will b
commenced at four different points. Thu
enterprise Is backed by an unlimited
amount Of capital. and when fairly started
the road will be pushed at a lively rate
giving employment to ct least 1000 grad
ers and track-layers.
