Black Greek, N. Y, was so badly
afflicted with rheumatism that he
was only able to hobble around with

Mining Activity.

LEoNIA, Feb. 7.-Everything is
lovely in this locality once more.
Since the recent jumping business
has been settled things are much
more lively. 1t seems to have given
an impetus to prospecting and de-
velopment work rather than retard
it. Quite number went right out
and commenced WORK on their
claims. There, has been work done
on the Great Northern, Congress
and Jim Hill. On the Julietta and
Yankee Girl they have increased
their force, and claim that each
shot put in gives greater encour-
agement.
Last week there were two pack
trains packing in supplies from this
point, and Mccormack Bros. have
pack train on which they expect
to keep busy until spring
Messrs. Brown and Roberts are
doing development work on the
"Snow Bird" on the Boulder, and
intend running a 100-foot tunnel
for the purpose of prospecting this
claim.
Everything points to lively sea-
son in this district the coming
spring, as there are more inquiries
being received regarding these
parts than ever before.

LEoNIA, Feb. 13.-Reports from
the mining camps are as encourag-
ing during the past week as one
could hope or wish for. This week
a payment on the bond on the Key
stone mine of $1,000 becomes due,
and which no doubt will be paid
as the parties are going right along
with the work and packing in sup
plies.
The Julietta, on which work is
being done, also comes to the front
this week with the good news of a
new assay report of $3.50 in gold
and about SIS in silver. On the
surface this claim only went trace
in gold; after a short distance an
assay of $1.75 was gotten; then the
men having this claim concluded
to tap the ledge at depth Of eighty
five feet, with the above result.

THE resolution Of Senator Dubois
to amend the rules of the senate so
as to distribute the appropriation
bills among the other committees of
the senate suffered a temporary de-
feat. 1t was referred to the COM
mittee on rules to be reported back
to the senate again on the first
Monday of December next. This
motion carried by a vote of % to
to 40. The matter occupied the
attention of the senate for several
days and was debated by the Lad
ing senators. Test votes seemed to
indicate a majority in favor of the
resolution, and the final disposition
of the matter showed that its
opponents were afraid to risk test
on the merits of the proposition
and were happy to secure a post
ponement, Senator Dubois de-
serves great credit for the able fight
he made for such radical knock
out of the old-timers. The ques-
ton is not settled yet by any
means

CHICAGO, JULY 7, 1895.
TIME AND PLACE OF DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Won on the goth Ballot, Starting the Race
with Only Six Votes Col. Smalley
Says the Result Is -
Natural One"

Washington, Jan. 16.-The democratic
national convention of 1896 will meet at
Chicago on July Z.
Such was the decision reached on the
Goth ballot by the national committee to-
day after a spirited contest in which Chi
cago won by a bare majority with st.
Louis only two votes behind.
1t was practically q fight between the
free silver forces on the one hand and
the hard money men on the other. This
statement cannot be taken as literally cor
rect for several silver men finally voted
for Chicago, while several votes were cast
for ST. Louis by hard money men. AS a
matter of fact the vote which Chicago re-
received was as Mr. Smalley of Vermont,
expressed II, "a natural one inaSmuch
as 1t was cast by the states lying within
the group known as the Middle, West ana
the East. st. Louis vote might also be
called equally natural since 1t came MAIN
ly from the Southwest and West.
That she did stay in the race and In the
concluding ballots steadily increased her
strength shows how admirably Chicago's
force was disciplined. New York's poor
showing did not surprise any one VINO was
familiar with the stua lion. 1t was not
that New York's campaign was not clever
" managed. for her delegation neglected
no argument that could secure her the
support of the committee. 1t was obvious
yesterday afternoon that she could not
win but her representatives pluckily con-
tinued the fight in the face of certain de-
feat.
1t was thought that Cincinnati might be
the second choice of a sufficient number
of members to secure the prize, but this
hope was not realized. At no time during
the day was Cincinnati serious competi-
tor and at no time did she secure more
than IL votes
Chicago began with six votes and 1t was
not until the lith ballot that she increased
them to 10. She remained practically at
that figure until the 10Th ballot when her
strength was increased TO 10. Again she
stood practically still until the 9th bal
OF when her vote of IL in the preceding
ballot was increased to 90. At that time
st. Louis which had begun with ~, had
q votes. New York had fallen to three
and Cincinnati to six. 1t was then mani
fest that not only had the fight narrowed
down to Chicago and St. Louis but that
Chcago's steadily increasing gains in
dictated her ultimate victory. This came
on the Goth ballot when her vote of q in
| the 2Sth ballot was increased by five,
| thus giving her a bare majority and leav-
| ing st. Louis dangerous second, with
| q. while Cincinnati was reduced to l and
New York's vote disappeared entirely.

always that. The neck is finished by a
