porter. He states that there are now
on Eagle creek between 600 and 700
men. The weather was very cold when
Mr.. Shelton left the mines. The snow
was about six feet deep in the valley
and much deeper on the mountains. AT
present there are only about three
claims being worked on Eagle creek.
Snow is a great impediment to the open
ing and location of claims and but little
effective work can be done until the
weather grows warmer and the snow
disappears. It is almost impossible to
obtain lumber to build houses, construct
flames, etc. The only lumber that can
be procured is sawed by hand, with n
whipSaw. Provisions of all kinds we're
very scarce. Flour was 500 barrel.

are about POO men. But few claims
have been located there SnowshocS
are now the only means by which per
sons can reach these mines or depart
from them. Mr.. Shelton says the best
time 10 go TO these mines is about the
middle of March-just before the snow
mets. 10 start earlier is useless. and to
attempt to reach the mines later in the
season, after the snow begins to thaw, is
futile. The whole country for miles ii
inundated by the floods, caused by melt

or later, would probably not be able 10
reach the mines until June. In most

accomplish our object.

morally, physically and financially. He

he cannot. Dyspepsia, liver and kidney

may degenerate into chronic invalid.

THE KING OF THE TURF.
Jack Chinn's Leonatus Breaks Down
Again and is Sent to the
Stud.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. I


CINCINNATI, April ga telegram was re-
ceived early last evening from Jack Chinn by
his partner, Mr.. Morgan, to the effect that the
celebrated race horse, Leonatus, had again broken
down and would retire to the stud. Mr..
Morgan was called on at his
place of business on Longworth
street last night. He felt rather blue over the
accident, but said they would make the best of
it and place the king of the turf in the stud.
Mr.. Chinn is at his stock farm in Harrodsburg,
KY, and the informato on which he based his
telegram was received from John McGinty, his
trainer, who has charge of their string of flyers.
Leonatus has been in Louisville the past fewweeks
In training for the prominent events that will take
place at the spring meetings at Louisville and
Latonia. On account of his injuries received last
summer IN New York, fears were expressed by
many this winter that the fine colt would not be
able to stand the severe course of prepare
ton that would be required to put
him in condition. Their fears were not ground
less, as has been only too clearly demonstrated
by the result. The tendon in his right fore leg,
which was the cause of the trouble last season,
has again broken down. 1t is to be greatly re-
GREETED that this wonderful horse is compelled to
retire before he has ever shown just what he
is capable of doing. He ran in the
biggest events at Louisville and Latonia
last year, and won all of them in a canter
Although he was in what was presumed to be
fast company he was never pushed, and ran
away from all competitors whenever he
wished, just as if they were standing still.
There is one consolation, however, and that
is the turf may yet see some of his progeny
wear the colors of their stables well in the
lead of the pack in years to come.

"CE.S4RI.SM.o

Can it be possible that Grant still aspires
to the Presidency? Many think so and not
without reason. The exaggerated praises of
Conkling and other sycophants, he accepts
as true, or rather less than the truth, and
this purts him beyond the possibility Of any
shrinkage in his own eyes, or of any self
conscious collapse. He has been glorified
as ''the first citizen in the United States"
and believing it to be true, he not only thirsts
for but believes himself again entitled to the
National executive chair. Thus our great
Caesar thirsted for the nomination in 1880,
and his hatred of Blaine is irradicable be-
cause he defeated his aspiration then. But
the Presidential bee has not ceased to buzz
most enticingly in his bonnet ever since,
and he in his strong desire and ambition does
not hesitate in his vagrant dreams of regain
ing power, to recognize that there may be a
possibility or what is far better, a probability
at the Chicags convention next June.
There is no doubt that Grant has fol-
lowing, as certain substances attract the vul-
lures and the crow. He is the choice of a

an element that would hope to be bene-
fitted and thrive by his elevation to third
term. 1t is not wise to suppose that that ell
ement will not find representation and pos
sibly assert itself in the June convention at
Chicago.
Grants administration was the most
corrupt of any that has ever held in its
hands the destinies of the Republic, and by
its lack of a wholesome integrity disgraced
the nation and debauched national politics.
The same element that was in the ascend
ant then still turks in dark party purlieus,
and though as yet unnamed, Grant knows
he has this element behind him, and hence
he fondly dreams of possible Empire. This
is the root and source of the far famed
"Casarism'' of which the ''first citizen" is
the representative. He Is not without hope
that some fortunate conjuncture in the June
convention will throw him to the surface,
and for this his as yet silent 306 collar-wear-
ers, with their compeers, will hope and wish.
Surprising and unexpected developments
may yet startle the political coteries of the
country. ''The first citizen' still lives and
strongly palpitates with the unexpressed i'm
pulses of unappeased ambition. ''Upon

1P4CKED Committee.

The Pioneer Press denounces Fletcher for
planning to have the convention called in
the Fourth district to send delegates to the
Republican National conventiun,s also nomi
nate candidate for congress. This is the
same kind of game Mr.. Washburn resorted
to when he first secured the nomination.
While DR.. Stewart was attending to his du-
ties in Washington Washburn set
up the early convention dodge
and succeeded. The p. p.
denounced him in advance and when he
was nominated jumped down its own throat
and cordially supported him. 1t will do the
same thing with Mr.. Fletcher if he is nomin
ated. Its bark is not dangerous, and as it
alarms no one it Is not effectual.
1t is due Mr.. Fletcher to say that he pub
fishes a card denying that he has asked for an
early convention. He says he is willing to
trust entirely to the decision of the district
committee. The com mittee is to meet
at Minneapolis this afternoon, and the val
orous Fletcher has great confidence in their
wisdom, So he says.
And well he may. The committe is com
pOoCu VI ". L. L CLGiU, ". W. cOliuoOII u L :
Rea and r. Barden, of Minneapolis; R. N.
McLaren, A. r. McGill, st. Paul; G. L..
Taylor, Saltwater; f. H. Pratt, Chisago, and
Nathan Warner, of Wright.
Look at the complexion of that ommittee.
The first four named are solid for Fletcher,
of course, because they live at Minneapolis.
Gen. McLaren is at Washington and will not
be present at the committee meeting to-day,
but his proxy will be found in the pocket OF
some stalwart Fletcher man. Mr.. Taylor
has rmanently left the state and Mr.. Pratt
is dead. If Mr.. Taylor should send his proxy,
which he has no right to do, it would be for
Fletcher. There are, therefore, only two
votes unaccounted for, McGill and
Warner. Assuming these to be against
Fletcher, which we do not know to be the
case, he has four votes in the committee to
two against, and it is probable that the entire
six will vote in harmony.
In no event does Mr.. Fletcher run any
risk in placing himself in the hands of his
committee. He looked after that committee
two years ago.
That is the reason why the oily Fletcher is
so magnanimous as to throw himself into
the arms of his committee.
