The Company own 5000 feet of
placer ground in Robinson Canyon,
commencing at the mouth of the
canyon and running 5000 feet along
its course to the Joanna mine. They
have sunk two shafts-one about 1000
feet from the mouth of the canyon,
and at depth of IS feet find large
quantities of black sand, with good
prospects of fine gold, and have not
reached bedrock. Shaft No. 2 is about
5000 feet from the mouth of the
canyon and the rim rock was struck
at depth of 30 feet. This prospects
we'll in coarse gold and is getting
richer as depth is attained on the rim
rock. Several pans taken out of the
incline going AS high as 80 cents to
the pan-th- gravel averaging about
s cents to the pan-leaving no doubt
that the channel is rich. Some pieces
on the rim rock weighed as high as
10 cents. The company is going to
start several other shafts to thoroughly
prospect their ground, and have every
confidence of finding placers that will
rival the richest spots 10 California in
the paliniest days.
The recent storms and heavy snow
have retarded prospecting, but the
company has determined to have
things in shape to take advantage OF
the spring thaws, and will suice
enough dirt to prove beyond doubt
that the ground is dividend-paying
investment.

and w Washington, ID. C., as the time and
place for holding the first nesting of the
national legislative council, which is com
posed OF the national president and the
presidents of all the state alliances.
ALLIANCE NEWS WANTED.
An important piece of action taken
during the closing moments of the late con-
vention, was the adoption of resolution
with reference to the support of all alli-
ances. The policy of the alliance will be to
Withhold all support from newspapers which
do not conduct alliance departments, or at
least publish alliance news regularly.
This arrangement does not compel suppC r
of the alliance measures or an advocacy OF
alliance demands on the part of these news
papers in their editorial columns, but does
compel a certain degree Of friendliness on
their part, and amounts to an absolute boy
colt OF all newspapers which do not come
up tothe terms of the resolution.
SPEECHES AT THE BARBECUE.
After the barbecue this afternoon there
was speaking by President Polk. Congress

Senate Confirms Him.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. n.-Ex-Senator S.
D. Bradwell of Liberty county will succeed
Judge J. S. Hook as state school commits
sioner. His appointment was confirmed by
the Senate this morning, together with
several others The present incumbent will
not return to Augusta, but on the expira-
ticn Of his term will open law office in
this city. In selecting Capt Bradwell Gov.
Northen was largely influenced by the idea
that the energy and address of the ap-
pointee would prove of great use IN arous-
ing educational enthusiasm. The governor
is still hopeful that the legislature may see
fit to act in the line Of his sugges-
ton aud create an assistant state
school commissioner, the services Of
such an official being IN the
opinion OF the executive urgently demanded.
Gov. Northen seems to have the matter at
heart and has been waiting on the assembly,
but so far no steps in the desired direction
have been taken. The other combinations
to-day were: Pleasant A. Stovall of Au-
gusta, as trustee of the state university
for eight years from Aug. % next; James
M. Benah. TO be county Judge of Chattooga
county; William Smith, to be solicitor of
the county court Of Oconee county; john
w. Bennett, to be county solicitor for
Wayne county.
