A Gold Find in Unity Plantation.

Messrs. A. and E. Bradbury Of Fairfield
think they have discovered a gold mine
on tract of land in Unity Plantation,
located six or seven miles east Of the
Kennebec, and containing about 400 acres.
1t was purchased by them fifteen years
ago. Running through it is a stream of
considerable size, which empties into the
Sebasticook, near which rough lodges
come to the surface, and the proprie-
tors have noticed that this contained
large seams of iron-colored quartz.
Old California miners, who examined
them, declared that they had the appear
ance of rich gold veins. 4 short time
since, one set of average specimens was
taken from the surface and another from
one of the seams at Il depth of four feet,
both being sent to L. B. Darling, manager
of large gold and silver smelling works
at Providence R. L., for a thorough assay.
The report shows the ore to be rich in
precious metals beyond expectation.
1t Is as follows: Surface assay, gold,
s11. "A per ton; silver, $3.50; below the
surface, gold, S12.36; silver, -. 40. Mr..
Darling says the quartz is very free mill
ing. Thus encouraged, work will be be-
gun early in the spring, the seam will
be tested in the most thorough manner
and, if found to pay, a company will be
organized and steps taken to commence
systematic mining operations.

Senator Sherman's Views.

Hon. John Sherman was interviewed at
Pittsburg when en- route to Washington
last week. He said Foraker had behaved
well in the Senatorial contest. He was
always a brilliant Republican, and would
be in line with the party. Gov. Mckinley
had acted wisely in not interfering in the
fight. Ohio would be redistricted on the
old plan, and not ON the plan introduced
in the Legislature.
Concerning the Presidential question,
he said Secretary Blaine could have the
nomination if he wanted it, but he did not
think his health would permit of his
acceptance. A candidate should be physi-
cally able to fill the requirements of the
Office. With Blaine out of the way, he
thought President Harrison should be the
nominee. His Administration has been
wise and clean.
In his opinion, Senator Carlisle was the
proper man for the Democratic nomina-
ton, as he more clearly represented
Democratic principles, but he was on the
wrong side of the river. Palmer was
good man, but too old. Regarding ma
tional legislation, he said Free Silver
bill would pass both houses, but woult
be vetoed by the President. A tariff bill
would pass the House only to be defeated
in the Senate.

POLITICAL POINTS. Both branches OF
the New York Legislature were organized
by the Democrats. Walker, from the
9th Senatorial district, was seated.
and Governor Flowers first message was
read. ..... 1t is now said to be the intention
of the Democratic leaders of New York to
have the legislature elect the Presidential
electors, which would thus give the State
to the Democrats. .....At the Republican
caucus of the Ohio Legislature JAN =, Sen
ator John Sherman was nominated. The
vote stood as follows: Sherman 53, Foraker
81, Foster l, Mckinley L. 1t was an ex-
citing caucus and many speeches were
made. Sherman and Foraker ap-
peared after the vote was announced
and good feeling prevailed. .......A poll

jority as a Presidential candidate.

A bill for gerrymandering the State of
New York is SAID to be all ready for the

letter to the Boston Journal, points out
very clearly how the free ship theory oper-
ates in practical life. Mr.. Nelson pro-
posed to build a steel sailing ship and had
placed all tie shares but three sixteenths
and had nearly succeeded in closing a bar
gain for them, when Boston representa-
tive in Congress came out with his free
ship bill and the takers backed out
