has very strong endorsements, but the
fact of his relationship to n 1.-The jus.
tees now on the bench will probably work
to his injury. General Mason Brown OF
Kentucky is said to be the man who has
most favorably impressed the president.
Alfred Russell OF Detroit, a corporation at

who was born in Vermont, has behind him
Senator Mcmillan of Michigan and Secre'
tary Proctor, besides other strong infu-
ence, but he lacks the support OF the other
Michigan senator. Mr.. Stockbridge
is pushing a candidate Of q his
own. The friends of Judge j. II. Doyle OF
Ohio, who were ~sanguine as to his chances
a day or two ago, have lost confidence in
his. ability to win the prize. The above are
the leading candidates mentioned for the

will make the appointment by the time the

From Thursdays Daily.

From Mr.. Mcguire, manager Of the Con.

cempany's property, which is located
about four miles north Of Meaderville, who
was in the city yesterday, it is learned that
work at the mine is being prosecuted az
fast as thres shifts Of men can do it. The
shaft has reached q depth Of 200 feet, and
the crosscut. which is intended to cut the
south vein, is in IL feet. Mr.. Mcguire
thinks that the ledge win be tapped at a
distance Of between 35 and 40 feet from
the bottom Of the shaft. and that it will be
about the holidays before this distance
will have BEEN completed. There are two
veins on the property, the north and south,
but nothing will be done toward tapping
the north vein until it is ascertaiped what
the south ledge contains.
Mr.. Mcguire also stated that Roberts d
Co., who own the property adjoining that
belonging to the Constitution, are now pre-
pairing to develop their ground on a more
extensive scale, having ordered a hoist and
accompanying paraphernalia which will be
placed in position next Tuesday. This
property il already slightly developed, it
having a tunnel It's feet long, a 104-foot
winze sunk from the tunnel and q 60 foot
from the bottom Of the winze.
This 6S-footerosscuttapped the north ledge
but owing to the vast quantity OF water
which was encountered when the ledge was

When the hoist is set up the water will be
pumped out and the south lead tapped,
