days their ladies' are seer riding or

why SO many members with their
families linger here is that the weather
is still to severe for them to return to
their northern homes, especially in cases
where their wives or daughters are
delicate.

We are often in receipt of letters from
parties in the east making inquiries
about the Wood River mines, asking if
they are genuine or only a hoax. To such
we will say that we do not believe any
stories about the richness Of these mines
have been exaggerated IN the least. 1t
is true that but few of the mines have a
shaft over 100 feet in dept, and what they
will turn out to be ut IA dept of 900 feet
no one knows, but as far as they have
been sunk none have ever failed 10 hold
out, and large quantities of ore that will
assay from $500 to 81 900 per ton has
been taken out, some even as high a.
$1,000 per ton. As nearly ~ We can
judge, however, the average if from $250

THE ROB GRTSON NOMINA.
TION.

SENATOR CoNKLING's SCHEME TO
HAVE IT sIIELvED OR WITH.
DRAWN.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Mr.
Conkhnr has begun Operations
against the Robertson nomination.
1t is at present nominally with The
Commerce Committee, of which Mr..
Conkling is Chairman, but actually
by reason ot committee courtesy
with himself. With him il will re-
main as long as he can control it,
Meanwhile he will Try TO have il
withdrawn. The Intermediary be-
tween himself and the President
will be Mr.. Allison, close friend
OF the President. M. Conkling
will not himself call upon the Pres
ident in this mat er unless specially
Invited, because he was not consult
ed with reference to the nomjna
tiOn. For that matter neither was
Mr.. Arthur nor Mr.. Plat, and they
feel that they have been sighted.
Mr.. Conkling spent nearly two hours
with Mr.. Allison yesterday present
ing his side oi the case u him. lie
urged that the confirmation of Mr..
Robertson would split the party in
the State instead OF uniting it, and
that its influence would consequent

The general bellef here is that there
will be no Withdrawal, ,Uecause the Pres
ideut probably knew wnat he wanted
when be sent Mr. Roberisou's name TO
the Senatr, aud having reached hls con
elu; lous without Mir. Conkling's AID, he
is not likely to BE- swayed IRON them by
his protests. II is mol dreamed that
promised rem indeTs Of the Presidents

appointments viii have the slightest
effect upon him nor will he stand ~ awe
oi anything MI. Conklng may threaten
or pruphrsy. the result expected is u
contest 10 begin very soon, aud in which,
sboul Mr. Conkling asset himself too
strongly at first, 1t is inlilnated that the
President may take occasion To show his
power by Withdrawing tue pending
Conkling Nominations.

POP ULARITY OF SOUTHERN IN
VESTMENT.

The New York correspondent Of
the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution writes !:
| am able to add bit Of evidence con-
cerning the popularity of investment
in Sou hern mills. NJ. j. Verdery, OF
Augusta, Ga is in New York, placihg
the $3.50 600 stock with which il is pro-
posed to more than double the Entei..
prise Mills. OF the extra stock $780,
600 has been taken in Augusta. On
the first day in New York Messrs.
Smith & Baldwin subsci ibed $40 900
To- the stock and SO, 900 the uext day.
Y. h. Stevenson is reported TO have
taken SO, 600 stock in the new Sibley
Mills, and To have asked for $50 900
more. Being Informed that he could
not get II, he viii probably put the ex-
ira $50, 600 in the Enterprise. / hear
on good authority that parties in New
York have offered to put $500, 600 cash
into new factory IN Atlanta. IL
really looks as if the South's lime was
coming at last, and her practical indie.
pendence was possibility. The cot
ton exposition at ALBANIA will be a ire
nendous agent IN the development OF
our resources.
