Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston, Feb. 5.-A meeting of
prominent business men of the city was
held here last evening to discuss prop
osition looking to the erection OF
Touring mill at this point. A year ago
a bonus of 81 900 was subscribed TO IN
duce the building of a mill and an
agreement entered into for the erection
OF a 75-barrel mill, but the party who
proposed to go into the enterprise has
so far failed to start the work. The
proposition now under consideration has
recently been made and IL the bonus
subscribed a year ago is still available,
there is but little doubt but what next
fall will see III operation here modern
milling plant which will compete with
the best in the state. The question OF
the bonus is the only one to be settled
now The mill will certainly be built IL
the bonus can be secured.
The establishment of wooden mill
is also a possibility of the near future.
Correspondence is now going on with
capitalists who are looking for ioca-
ton for wooden factory, In which 1t
is proposed to employ about 200 hands
ut the outset. At present no details
can be given as the plans are yet IN
embryo.

Considerable development work and
systematic mining is going on in the
Independence district. under the direc-
| ton of c. NJ. cowles. who has invested
within the last year several thousand
| dollars in the Independence and Bould-

! the less fruitful of results on that ac-
| count His placer ground has begun
! TO net him some nice returns, as well
| as the quartz properties he is opening
| up. The force he has been working the
! past season has not been large ca doZer

considerable ore at the stamp mill, neN-
