MAN IRON W. VA.

We clip the following compli-
mentary paragraph from the
Cincinnati daily Tribune, one OF
the largest and ablest opponents
OF Republican principles and tn
leading Republican organ OF
the Middle States. which favors
Nathan Golf for the nomination
of Vice President in 1896. The
announcement is a little in ad-
vance, tbut progress and advanc-
sdideas go with the Republican
party in these days. and we print
itip full to show the high stand
ing Of our standard bearer in

THE Hon. Nathan Gof, of
West Virginia, is being discuss
ed in connection with the Vice.
Presidential nomination. He has
frequently been talked about in
this capacity, and there is. no
reason why we should not hear
more OF the Golf movement
within the next year. General
Gotf is a man of great ability and
wide experience. he has been
Secretary of the Navy, and is
now aJudge on the United States
bench, and is one of the most &C.
complished and successful politi.
cal speakers in the country. HE
is a we'll and symmetrically de-
veloped man. If the Republi-
cans think it best to select a
candidate for the Vice Presidency
from a Southern State, it occurs
to US that that State should be
either West Virginia or Tennes.
see. Our belief is that West
Virginia is more worthy of con,
sideration by Republicans al this
time than Tennessee. BY care
ful management West Virginia
should be kept permanently
within Republican lines, and
there is no Republican in West
Virginia who is more popular
with the people than Genera,
Gotf. We are glad to see tina,
Senator-elect Stephen B. Ellzlns

This is both gratitude and wis

praying for her in public. She is a
most worthy young woman, but recent

BUCKHORN BASIN. Gold Galore Ready for the
 Miner. A Rich District With Plenty of Ore, Wood and Good
 Water.

From the Tombstone rrospector.
 Mir. J. P. Abbott arrived yesterday from Buckhorn Basin iu the Chirica- huas and reports that section looking up.
 He brought in some ore from the Little Mint mine in which Messrs. Fitts, McClusky and Abbott are inter- ested, which shows free gold in paying quantities. Work on the mine has been going on encouragingly until g depth of nearly 50 feet has been reach. ed. On the foot wall 20-inch streak of ore has been struck while 1foot vein shows rich on the hanging wall. All the ore carries free gold and limitless amount of ore is in sight. Some of the ore runs unusually high, but a fair average, as shown by assays and tests show $50 ton in gold, which speaks for itself.
 Wood and water abound in the vicinity of the mine, and for large company which would operate this mine extensively, it would yield for. tune and pay handsomely.
 The mine will continue to be devel- oped and the extent of the ore ascer- tained if possible, work being steadily pushed.
 The Sunny Side mine which recently came into the hands of Mccall & Co.,, the big mine operators, is expected to be opened soon and operations com menced.
 Other mines in Buckhorn are looking well, and this section will undoubtedly some day cause a stampede, as some rich lodges are located in this locality
